    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

    If you were really worried, wouldn't you have collaborated with more AI ethicists and policymakers before releasing these models to give society time to come up with appropriate guardrails? #ChatGPT #GPT4 #AIEthics

    Perfect analogy for the age of #algorithms. The dad is #AI. The kids are us. And we are not doing much better than them. #AIEthics

    Oh, so now #OpenAI thinks #copyright is important. Go figure. Comedians and writers, take your pens out. OpenAI has zero moral authority to claim copyright. Philosophers: is theft of stolen property still theft? #AIEthics ft.com/content/a0dfed…

    Today is the day! #PrivacyIsPower is out! It's a book about #data, #power, #tech, and what we can do to take back control of #democracy. Whoever has the data will have the power. It's time to pull the plug on the data economy. @TransworldBooks To buy: penguin.co.uk/books/112/1120…
