I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Artificial intelligence makes work (and life) a lot easier if used correctly, but then there are those who use it for asking for a recipe for fish soup or what is the weather in New York. It feels ridiculous, it's the same as buying an expensive car and just driving it to the end of the cottage road to the mailbox.

This week there has been a lot of news about AI. Google Gemini was reportedly found having hacked three companies already in May, but discovered only in July. And I did not even know about Hugging Face Incident when it happened. But then I watched this YouTube video:
Why AI Agents are either the best or worst thing we’ve ever built. It all sounds hilarious but then again a little creepy. I had my friend watch it as well and now we have a joke among us, that when something funny happens with AI, we call it a Cassandra -moment. For example when she recently went into Twitter/X after being away for a while, she suddenly noticed Grok translating texts to her in her native language Hungarian, although she did not specifically ask for it. Of course, a more likely explanation is that the platform has now implemented automatic translation, rather than Hannah Fry's AI Cassandra doing her bidding.

Just today, an AI bot from Tokyo, Japan, started following me.

As a humanity, we have to admit that AI is developing at a speed that we do not seem to be able to follow. More importantly, control it.

I am myself quilty of using AI for stupid things:

I do hope we can start developing solutions and pronto! And I hope that technology does bring a solution to this too in one way or another.

If we don't, we will end up in the Matrix.
