If every time a tech executive says something alarming about the future you panic, then you haven’t read Prophecy. It’s ridiculous how one word from a tech executive whose company is about to go public can change the conversation of the whole world. https://t.co/KUgvgYWIzi

Un honor ser citada por @and_rizzi en este importante artículo. Resistirse a la IA de hoy no es resistirse a la tecnología en general: es ser consumidores exigentes y una ciudadanía responsable. Es querer una tecnología mejor que una que vigila y predice.

I want us "to become smarter, not stupider. (...) I want better science, not AI slop tainting our academic literature. And I want to see more excellence in everything—more idealism and less cynicism, more culture and fewer content creators." And you? https://t.co/DJRB0c2XIU

"A way to help more students develop a moral compass is to make ethics part of their curriculum." By @AdamMGrant
I'd add: Cheaters forever live in fear and risk of being caught, and they miss out on the satisfaction of true achievement.

"La sociedad que quiere, a toda costa, controlar el futuro, pierde con esa tensión libertad en el presente. Por eso [Véliz] hace una defensa de “la curiosidad, la valentía y la libertad”. #libros @debatelibros @meigul https://t.co/LUR9CJMILf

@CarissaVeliz I completely agree, just Carissa, nowadays in this time of 'black and white' where shades of gray no longer exist... how many of the bright ones do you think there are?

My latest on The Antidote: Survival Through Kindness. What concepts like natural selection miss is that no one survives without being rescued (usually multiple times). https://t.co/0hINCZakR9 https://t.co/lnqYJOV8ja

@CarissaVeliz @TEDTalks This is brilliant. You need to become a household name! I’m a historian, not a futurologist, but I see the writing on the wall— and the need to erase those scribbles in the name of an open future & living democracy.
Many thanks to @GaryMarcus for amplifyi

Being on the @TEDTalks stage has been one of the biggest thrills of my life. My TED talk is live! Please share widely! Predictions can be weapons of power, and we are being much too naive about them, from prediction markets to AI. #Prophecy
