I'm not sure you need to sign up for a New Scientist account to read this, but What everyone gets wrong about the 2015 Ashley Madison scandal is a good reminder that the real fallout from that was that a huge number of men were getting duped into thinking that their interactions with relatively dumb bots operated by a small army of upder-paid humans were communications with women, and that social media sites in general, especially as Facebook and LinkedIn and similar ramp up the noise from posters who you don't know personally, not only have LLMs made automation of this process extremely easy, duping their users, they're also duping their advertisers...
Meanwhile, Pivot To AI points out that:
Nvidia has an outsized influence on the S&P 500. Pretty much all the gains in the S&P 500 since last October have been from AI-exposed stocks, particularly Nvidia. So the crash will be nasty.
