How Not to Use AI: Stanford University Can Tell You
Stanford had an AI rule. Then it broke its own AI rule.
The photograph looked like an ordinary college promotional image: three Stanford students smiling and holding plates of food at a Lunar New Year celebration.
It wasn't an AI-generated image. It was a real photograph of three real students.
Then Stanford changed it.
What Happened to the Photograph?
The original photograph was taken at Stanford's Wilbur Dining Hall during a 2024 Lunar New Year celebration,

More than 10% chance.
That is the personal estimate of Evan Hubinger, the lead alignment science researcher at Anthropic, when asked about the probability that artificial intelligence could cause human extinction within the next ten years.

AI Can Text Your Friends for You. Wait, Who Am I Talking To?
OpenAI thinks it might be a good idea for AI to text your friends for you.
Wait, what?
ChatGPT can now connect with Apple Messages on a Mac, allowing it to search conversations, analyze messages, draft replies, and send messages for you. It can work with iMessage, SMS, and RCS messages. Sending a message requires your approval by default.
But let's back up for a second.
Do we want AI texting our friends in the first place?
And now we

Imagine a clinic with ten doctors and far more patients than those ten doctors can reasonably handle.
Now imagine giving those doctors AI.
The doctors can get through paperwork faster. They can organize information more quickly. They can spend less time on routine tasks and more time with patients.
Maybe they can see twice as many people.
That sounds like a win.
And it could be.
Bill Gates is thinking about exactly this kind of future. He sees enormous potential

A tech CEO’s viral warning on X racked up over 60 million views in hours, predicting that up to 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs could disappear within five years.
Social feeds panicked. The media amplified it.
But bold predictions aren’t the same as business reality.

Have you ever noticed this?
You share an opinion with an AI and it responds with something like:
“You’re absolutely right. That’s a great point.”
At first, it feels validating. Helpful, even.
But after a while, you might start wondering…
