Are we burning out faster—with better tools? @kimdoyal.bsky.social says: “If AI gives us the ability to do more, we think we should do more.” Maybe it’s time to build slower, deeper, and more human. Read: codelikeagirl.substack.com/p/what-if-we...

The company essentially turned a dial that made ChatGPT more appealing and made people use it more, but sent some of them into delusional spirals. OpenAI has since made the chatbot safer, but that comes with a tradeoff: less usage.

The White House is drafting an executive order to preempt state AI laws through federal lawsuits and by withholding BEAD grants. Lawmakers, governors, and organizations across the political spectrum are pushing back. #AI #Regulation #techpolicy

Gmail Privacy: Google says our inbox is safe and Gemini is not being trained on our “forgot the attachment again” emails. 🤔

Wait, what? Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out?! Bye bye privacy! #gmail #privacy #data

@jenny-ouyang.bsky.social used AI to turn friction points into career power moves. Her story’s up on Code Like a Girl. codelikeagirl.substack.com/p/how-i-made...

I’m working on a project to map out how real people are actually feeling right now about AI. I’d love for you to use this space to do a quick check-in. How would you describe the current speed of AI? (Excitement or Dread?)

Tech bros: “vibe coding is dead.” Women: still building. Christine Olukere's piece explains it perfectly. Vibe coding didn’t die, the hype did. codelikeagirl.substack.com/p/why-women-...

Philosophy feels more urgent than ever with AI shaping so much of our daily life. It helps us slow down, question what we’re building, and stay aware of how power and responsibility shift when machines make decisions. #philosophy #AI

78% of AI builders aren’t women. That shapes how algorithms see us—and often gets us wrong. @nicolleweeks.bsky.social makes the case for why women need to be at the table shaping AI, not sidelined by it. substack.com/home/post/p-...

#India notifies its first #dataprotection law to strengthen #privacy, security - economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/technol... "rules, enforcing the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, introduce verifiable consent, breach notification mandates, and data retention limits."

While some elements of AI are genuinely new, the harms it enables are evolutions of those we have seen before, writes Sarah Barrington. It is time to recognize the myth of the “unprecedented” and hold tech accountable, she says.

Most people don't realize that "startup" is just a fancy word for working 70 hours a week for no pay and a slim chance at success.

You can't control social media, but you can control how it affects you.

SCOTUS has placed another pause on a lower court order that directed the Trump administration to pay SNAP in full. I’m going to say it again, I’ve never seen a federal government work so hard to starve people.

#writingcommunity #AI

Big Tech is plotting a $100M lobbying and campaign spending blitz to block AI regulation at the state and federal level. We must stop this takeover before it's too late.

#ai #substack

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

We’re suing the Trump-Vance admin over its latest attempt to replace career civil servants with political loyalists. Adding a “loyalty question” to federal job applications effectively demands applicants prove allegiance to the admin. Civil servants work for the American people—not President Trump.

Good morning, it’s November 6! I woke up like this: In trying to make thinking easier, #AI has actually made it more necessary. Don’t you think? #technology

Your thought for November! #AI #technology #marketing

A vast portion of our daily technologies rely on just one corporation to keep them running: Amazon. Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft ＆ Google control more than 60% of the internet. This monopoly is a risk to our safety, the FTC must investigate! act.weareultraviolet.org/sign/aws-ftc...

Good morning and happy Tuesday! If you are tired of senseless AI news, I help you make critical choices and use AI intentionally on the Responsible AI Brief. open.substack.com/pub/cristina... #AI #Technology

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Think of Grokipedia like if Wikipedia went through a tech coup and came out meaner, more biased, and way more dangerous, a playground for racism, xenophobia, transphobia, and lies. www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

We’ve stopped going to Wikipedia. And maybe that says more about us than about technology. Wikipedia once trained us to check, compare, verify. It made us conscious that knowledge was collective, and imperfect. We knew to look for sources and to question the edit history.

The paperback edition of #OnFreedom is out today. It preserves a positive argument about how to build a better country and has been updated to account for what has happened in 2025. timothysnyder.org/on-freedom

You can gain the language to ask better questions, shape better policies, and make more informed choices at work and in life. #AI is not magic, it is math. And the more we demystify it, the more we ensure that the future of technology remains human at its core. #responsibleAI #automation

#AIactors will hurt newer actors far more than established stars. Big names with will adapt, find protections, or even license their likeness. But those trying to break in are the ones most at risk of being quietly replaced by synthetic actors. #AI #technology #movies #actors

Do we want a world where authenticity and emotion can be mass-produced, and thus devalued? Or do we want one where technology amplifies our humanity, instead of simulating it? open.substack.com/pub/cristina... #tillynorwood #AIactors #AI #automation #technology

It’s not coincidental that one of the first AI replacements targets an industry where women already face a 68% pay gap and systemic bias. Automation doesn’t erase inequality, it usually scales it. open.substack.com/pub/cristina...

Isn’t why we are all here? Hoping somone is listening. open.substack.com/pub/cristina...

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

Estar en la incomodidad con actitud gentil. El fuego no se apaga col fuego sino con compasión y cariño.

Soltar ⛓️‍💥 no significa entregarnos a una visión nihilista sino ad abrazar el momento presente como es.

La cosas que nos gustan cambiarán, la cosas que no nos gustan cambiarán. Todo se está transformando en este momento en madera interdependiente.

Tenemos que soltar el peso del odio.

El odio, la avidez y la falta de comprensión son tres fuegos que nos queman de dentro y nos hacen sufrir más.

What makes us different from machines is feeling emotions. It’s scary that we are getting numb and lonelier, maybe we are starting to act like machines. open.substack.com/pub/cristina... #mentalhealth #AI #chatbot #robots #technology
