‘THERE’S SOMETHING VERY INTERESTING ABOUT BORING’: MARTIN PARR ON HIS LIFE IN PICTURES
▼ https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2025/aug/24/theres-something-very-interesting-about-boring-martin-parr-on-his-life-in-pictures
I was hanging around a petrol station like a pervert. Photographers at the time would have said that this was the craziest place to take a picture. Because it’s a very unglamorous subject matter. Boring. There’s no drama here. But there’s something very interesting about boring. Something that seems very ordinary at the time becomes interesting when you look back at it later, almost 40 years later: the pump has changed, the clothes have changed, the car has changed. It tells us something about consumerism, and how we depend on fuel, oil and petrol.

If you ever wished you owned James Bond’s Aston Martin so you could activate its frontal machine guns whenever someone cut you off on the road, XPeng has the next best thing. The Chinese car manufacturer has developed an augmented reality game that lets you fire all kinds of emojis at the offender—from angry faces to flip-flops to Nintendo-style bombs—which are projected over the entire windshield in 3D space, giving the illusion of actually hitting the cars.

THE ARTIFICIAL STATE ENGAGIOUS

▼The Artificial State 
The artificial state is a digital-communications infrastructure used by political strategists and private corporations to organize and automate political discourse. It is the reduction of politics to the digital manipulation of attention-mining algorithms, the trussing of government by corporate-owned digital architecture, the diminishment of citizenship to minutely message-tested online engagement.

SAM ALTMAN WARNING

▼ https://apnews.com/article/openai-ceo-sam-altman-fed-ad87262a4c1e71a0695ff6d06a2586f2

▼ o4-mini:
Here are some of the key topics Sam Altman has previously warned about:

1. Existential risk from unaligned AGI  
   - He’s cautioned that without strong alignment research and safety measures, a future artificial general intelligence (AGI) could act in ways that are harmful or uncontrollable.  
   - Altman has called for increased investment in alignment research to ensure that AGI’s goals remain aligned with human values.

2. AI “arms race” and the need for regulation  
   - He has argued that a global race to build ever-more-powerful AI—without shared safety standards—could lead to dangerous shortcuts on safety.  
   - To counter this, he’s advocated for well-designed government regulation, international treaties, and industry cooperation.

3. Disinformation and deepfakes  
   - Early on, Altman warned that as AI-generated audio, video, and text become more convincing, they could be used to amplify political manipulation, fraud, and social discord.  
   - He’s urged social platforms, researchers, and policymakers to invest in detection tools and content-verification standards.

4. Job displacement and economic impacts  
   - He’s spoken about how advanced AI systems may automate large swaths of white- and blue-collar work, potentially creating major economic disruption.  
   - Altman has proposed ideas like universal basic income (UBI) or other social-safety net expansions to help societies adapt.

5. Concentration of power in a few large AI labs  
   - Altman has warned that if only a handful of well-funded organizations control the most capable AI systems, it could lead to imbalances in economic and geopolitical power.  
   - He’s supported broader access to compute and open research efforts to democratize AI capabilities.

6. Dual-use concerns  
   - He’s highlighted that powerful AI tools can be used for both beneficial applications (medicine, climate modeling) and harmful ones (biothreat design, cyber-attacks).  
   - Altman has encouraged researchers to adopt responsible-disclosure practices and for labs to maintain rigorous internal governance.

Overall, Altman’s public warnings have ranged from near-term issues—like fraud and deepfakes—to longer-term governance and existential-risk concerns around AGI.
