"Three years into the hype, it seems that one of AI’s enduring cultural impacts is to make people feel like they’re losing it," writes Charlie Warzel for @TheAtlantic. He takes a look at how the technology is generating breathless excitement among some, what it means to be "AGI-pilled," and the consequences for young people of effectively telling them that their careers are going to be stymied before they've even begun. "Many people simply don’t know what conclusions to draw about AI, but it is impossible not to be thinking about it," he writes. "Even if you personally don’t believe in the hype, you are living in an economy that has reoriented itself around AI."

🖥️ **AI-Induced Dehumanization**

"_Our research reveals that the socio-emotional capabilities of autonomous agents lead individuals to attribute a humanlike mind to these nonhuman entities. Perceiving a high level of humanlike mind in the nonhuman, autonomous agents affects perceptions of actual people through an assimilation process._"

Last month, job boards for actors were flooded with ads looking for people to record “conversations, character voices, and natural speech to help train AI systems," for a project by Microsoft. Payment was orders of magnitude more than a normal acting gig — up to $80,000, where a national ad campaign for a big brand might ordinarily pay $6,000. @404mediaco's Rosie Thomas spoke to voice actors about the "Faustian bargain" of accepting such roles. "You're still taking away tomorrow's meal because they're offering you a little bit more,” says Katie Clark Gray.
