Whitney Webb Sounds Alarm on AI’s Threat to Humanity’s Future Investigative journalist Whitney Webb unpacks the chilling vision in Eric Schmidt and Henry Kissinger’s book The Age of AI: Our Human Future. While framed as warnings, Webb argues their words reveal a troubling agenda that demands urgent attention. Thread below. Schmidt and Kissinger predict AI will fracture society into two classes: an elite tier of AI programmers and decision-makers who control its objectives, and a vast underclass acted upon by AI, stripped of the ability to understand its influence. Webb calls this a modern haves and have-nots divide, driven by what the authors term cognitive diminishment. Cognitive diminishment is simple yet insidious: the less we use our skills, the more we lose them. Just as relying on calculators erodes mental math, outsourcing creativity and decision-making to AI risks eroding our ability to think independently. From AI curating your music to dictating your wardrobe, Webb warns of a future where humans lose the capacity to form preferences without AI’s nudge. Webb points to the rise of generative AI as a tipping point. People are creating less, she says. They’re outsourcing art, writing, and music to AI. In a generation, we could lose the ability to create entirely. This isn’t just a loss of skills—it’s a surrender of humanity’s essence. Without creativity, we risk becoming dependent on machines, reduced to mere processors in a system not unlike The Matrix. The solution? Resist. Create. Everyone can make something, Webb urges. Whittle wood, weave, paint, sing—humans have always created. If we abandon that, a posthuman future is inevitable. She stresses that this fight is accessible to all, regardless of wealth or status. Creativity is our defense against AI’s creeping control. Webb also critiques the blind trust in AI’s hallucinations—false realities it perceives that humans can’t verify. Schmidt and Kissinger suggest these unobservable truths should shape society, given AI’s supposed superiority. Why trust a human-made machine’s illusions? Webb asks. Powerful figures like Schmidt and Kissinger seem to worship AI with religious fervor, but that’s no reason to reshape humanity around its flaws. The stakes are high. If we stop creating, stop thinking, we risk a world where independent thought is impossible, and AI’s errors—or agendas—dictate reality. Webb calls on everyone to resist by reclaiming creativity and questioning AI’s role in our lives. Read what AI’s architects are saying, she insists. The long-term consequences are too grave to ignore. Will we let convenience erode our humanity, or will we fight for our creative soul? The choice is ours—but time is running out.

Blended-NeRF: Zero-Shot Object Generation and Blending in Existing Neural Radiance Fields paper page: Editing a local region or a specific object in a 3D scene represented by a NeRF is challenging, mainly due to the implicit nature of the scene representation. Consistently blending a new realistic object into the scene adds an additional level of difficulty. We present Blended-NeRF, a robust and flexible framework for editing a specific region of interest in an existing NeRF scene, based on text prompts or image patches, along with a 3D ROI box. Our method leverages a pretrained language-image model to steer the synthesis towards a user-provided text prompt or image patch, along with a 3D MLP model initialized on an existing NeRF scene to generate the object and blend it into a specified region in the original scene. We allow local editing by localizing a 3D ROI box in the input scene, and seamlessly blend the content synthesized inside the ROI with the existing scene using a novel volumetric blending technique. To obtain natural looking and view-consistent results, we leverage existing and new geometric priors and 3D augmentations for improving the visual fidelity of the final result. We test our framework both qualitatively and quantitatively on a variety of real 3D scenes and text prompts, demonstrating realistic multi-view consistent results with much flexibility and diversity compared to the baselines. Finally, we show the applicability of our framework for several 3D editing applications, including adding new objects to a scene, removing/replacing/altering existing objects, and texture conversion.
