Latest GOOD INTERNET for March 

Here's the latest posts on the GOOD INTERNET (Öffnet in neuem Fenster)-newsletter:

In the latest issue from this morning, i write about an open letter signed by Steve Wozniak, Yuval Noah Harari and Elon Musk, which calls for a six month pause of AI-development, and why i signed it too.

I signed this proposal to pause LLM-training because systems mimicing human cognition may hijack our ability to develop a theory of mind, which is foundational to any and all human cognition. The anthropomorphization-trap of AI may run deep and “move fast and break things“ is not a good attitude when it comes to human cognition.
