James Cameron: Big Tech AGI Control Scarier Than Terminator

Director James Cameron on why Big Tech owning AGI is scarier than any science fiction he's ever made:
— Big Brain AI (@realBigBrainAI) 8 avril 2026
"AGI will not emerge from a government funded program. It will emerge from one of the tech giants currently funding this multi-billion dollar research."
And when that happens,… pic.twitter.com/towlgKDzpzDirector James Cameron on why Big Tech owning AGI is scarier than any science fiction he's ever made: "AGI will not emerge from a government funded program. It will emerge from one of the tech giants currently funding this multi-billion dollar research." And when that happens, he warns, you won't get a vote on it: "So then you'll be living in a world that you didn't agree to, didn't vote for, that you are co-inhabiting with a super intelligent alien species that answers to the goals and rules of a corporation." A corporation that already knows everything about you: "An entity which has access to the comms, beliefs, everything you ever said, and the whereabouts of every person in the country via your personal data." From there, the slide toward something far darker is shorter than most people think: "Surveillance capitalism can toggle pretty quickly into digital totalitarianism." And even the best-case outcome isn't reassuring. Tech giants becoming the self-appointed arbiters of human good is, as he puts it, the fox guarding the hen house. He's not buying the idea that these companies would stay benevolent with that kind of power: "They would never ever think of using that power against us and strip mining us for our last drop of cash." The sarcasm is the point. Cameron has spent four decades imagining worst-case futures on screen. His verdict on this one: "That's a scarier scenario than what I presented in the Terminator 40 years ago, if for no other reason than it's no longer science fiction."

CNNs and VLMs: Combining Eyes with Reasoning in AI

CNN → "Where is this object?"

VLM → "What is happening in this image?"
CNNs give machines eyes. Vision Language Models give them the ability to reason about what they see.
They're not replacing each other — the most powerful AI systems combine both.#ComputerVision #VLM #AI… pic.twitter.com/b7JQAtDVkfCNN → "Where is this object?" VLM → "What is happening in this image?"

AI Risk Without AGI: Harms From Current LLM Systems
By
–
🤯 AI doesn’t need to be AGI to cause harm! 🤯 ChatGPT can’t reliably run a timer but it has still been implicated in delusions, suicides, cognitive surrender, mass disinformation, and so much more. A system doesn’t have to be AGI to carry risks. Mythos probably isn’t AGI either (nothing’s really been released), but it clearly can be used as a cyberattacking tool etc* *the commenter below also misunderstands my views. I don’t think pure LLMs will ever be AGI but some approach will be eventually. (And I have always been clear about). (Also hardly anyone is using pure LLMs anymore; almost everyone has quietly moved to what I long urged: neurosymbolic AI, in which symbolic tools complement the weakness of pure LLMs, quietly vindicating what I have argued for 30 years.) Kudo (@CryptoC58828499) Please. If AI isn’t going to AGI (as you claim), then stop the damn fear mongering. — https://nitter.net/CryptoC58828499/status/2041898327965626458#m

Visual AI Agents Replace Text Input at Art Fair

Typing is a bug. Or maybe we just got used to it.

At Art Central, something felt a bit off. It’s a major international art fair, 100,000 people moving through the space all day — but almost no one was typing.

It’s a major international art fair, 100,000 people moving through the space all day — but almost no one was typing. Instead, they were just holding up their phone, trying to make sense of what’s in front of them. Not searching, not prompting. Just looking, and letting AI make sense of it in real time. And it wasn’t just a one-off. You’d see it happen again and again, across different booths, different people, different moments. At some point it stopped feeling like a demo, and started feeling like how people naturally use visual agent @Chance_vision . If AI is supposed to understand the real world, why are we still forcing it into text?
