It's time to call it. AI is built on a house of cards of intellectual property violations starting with Facebook which is starting to look a lot like a crime scene as held back discovery documents begin to be compelled and unsealed in court. /1

The Google AI results at the top of searches are so pointless. We have a resource (the internet!) that knows everything, and instead of going to the source, it's like you asked your stupid cousin who is trying to recall the information from a podcast he heard last week.

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

A federal judge in Wyoming received a motion citing nine cases. Of the nine, eight don't exist. When she demanded an explanation, the lawyers said their "artificial intelligence platform ‘hallucinated’ the cases in question." @courtwatch.bsky.social www.courtwatch.news/p/lawyers-ca...

Government’s wins are often invisible: Systems that avoid plane crashes; alliances that avert war; surveillance that prevent pandemics. Government wins are often the avoidance of loss. So how do we tell the story of the destruction of government? The story of future losses not averted?

Okay, we apparently need to have a crash course in food safety because people are still not getting it The mere act of applying heat to food to cook it is not itself sufficient to say "this food is free of foodborne pathogens". "Safety", in this context, is a function of temperature AND time.

Last night Timothy Snyder talked with Rachel about the idea of a shadow government to serve as a model and reminder of what is possible from a government of qualified people instead of Fox guests and family members. It came up twice, actually. Here's 1 of 2.

have said it before and will say it again: Bluesky Chat/DMs are not E2EE. don't put anything sensitive in there you wouldn't want rando law enforcement to pore over. use it to exchange Signal contact info. consider "disappearing messages". do it by habit, get your friends+fam to also.

everyone replying to this post needs to log the fuck off and touch grass. Machine learning was a part of T&S for decades before you ever heard the term "generative AI". If you've ever complained about "all the bots on Bluesky, they should do something", the "something" you're asking for is ML.

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

For decades, the junk food industry has deliberately engineered foods to be addictive. GLP-1 drugs have helped people break free from this cycle. The industry is now searching for ways to undo the effects of these meds, aiming to design foods that remain addictive for those on GLP1. buff.ly/40QHDnk

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.
