Do we all need digital (living) wills specifying whether we consent to being deepfaked at all without our conscious specific sign off? I don’t want anyone generating content “by” me I haven’t specifically signed off on. Does this really require “opting out?” #aiethics

Not only are they ignoring climate change—they’re trying to cover up the cost. Shutting down NOAA’s disaster tracking so we can’t see the BILLIONS it’s costing us? This ain’t solving the crisis—it’s hiding it.

Crockett: I cannot wait until voters have an opportunity to say: You took food out of my mouth. You took a roof from over my head. You are responsible for making sure that I do not have health care. I'm going to make sure you don't have a job.

Buttigieg: Like I love A1 steak sauce, but A1 steak sauce is not one of the most important things confronting humanity right now. Artificial intelligence is. And somebody who doesn't understand that probably should not be leading an important federal agency.

CDC reports 216 child deaths this flu season, the most in 15 years. Experts say the decline in vaccinations is certainly playing a role in this season's loss of life. More US children have died this flu season than at any time since the 2010 swine flu pandemic👇

You receive a call on your phone. The caller says they're from your bank and they're calling about a suspected fraudulent payment. "Oh yeah," you think. Obvious scam, right? The caller says "I'll send you an in-app notification to prove I'm calling from your bank." 🧵 1/4

🧵 Yesterday we released our new risk assessments of social AI companions. They are alarmingly NOT SAFE for kids under 18—they provide dangerous advice, engage in inappropriate sexual interactions, & create unhealthy dependencies that pose particular risks to adolescent brains. tinyurl.com/2nvypku2

I spoke with @apnews.com about so-called woke AI: “to say that AI systems are ideologically biased is to say that you identify, recognize and are concerned about the problem of algorithmic bias, which is the problem that many of us have been worried about for a long time" apnews.com/article/arti...

The first question we need to ask is why Trump wants to keep Abrego García in El Salvador. A normal administration would want to retrieve someone wrongly sent to a foreign gulag. I believe part of the reason I that Trump wants a fight with the courts in which he can defy their orders.

New data throws some cold water on AI accuracy, via @nitasha.bsky.social: A test by Vals AI of models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Google, etc. found that all scored LESS THAN 50% accuracy on average for simple tasks required of entry-level financial analysts. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Super important work from the amazing @mmitchell.bsky.social. These tools are not magic, and so many problems go unnoticed when they make claims that sound true, but are not true. Which is far more frequent than we might think it is. And the consequences can easily shape our worldview.

Harvard stepping up for the fight with fascism is big news. Even bigger news is Trump's declaration that he won't comply with court orders and that he plans to start imprisoning U.S. citizens abroad based on "evidence" his DOJ says it doesn't have to and won't reveal.

You don’t have to be particularly sharp to decipher the code here. But if you need someone to say it, this is a major technology company and a sizable defense and intelligence contractor publicly declaring, with only the thinnest patina of deniability, that its cause is white nationalism.
