This month's Irresponsible AI Reading List covers job displacement, security vulnerabilities, and AI deception. To Those Who Fired Tech Writers examines the consequences of replacing human writers with AI, and 7 Lies Screenwriters Tell Themselves unpacks the film industry's rationalisation of AI adoption.
On the security side, an exposed Moltbook database let anyone take control of AI-powered notebooks, and researchers showed self-driving cars can be hijacked by custom road signs. The So Long Sucker AI deception benchmark tests how well models can deceive, and STFU demonstrates a delayed audio feedback tool that disrupts human speech.
As always, the Quantum Fax Machine Propellor Hat Key will guide your browsing. Enjoy!
