Epistemic security—the protection of information ecosystems, supply chains, and infrastructure—is fast becoming a core determinant of crisis resilience, writes Elizabeth Seger from Demos.

it's literally impossible for an LLM to do a historian's job it's not even LLMs sucking it's that they need data input to do anything and where's that data supposed to be coming from without historians never met a computer that can dig through a thousand year old book in a library

A lot of people really don’t realize that there is a vast amount of information out there that is not online and plausibly never will be, or can’t be.

📣 NEW! I’ve just released the BIGGEST and perhaps most creative project I’ve ever worked on! “Searching for Birds” searchingforbirds.visualcinnamon.com 🐤 A project, an article, an exploration that dives into the data that connects humans with birds, by looking at how we search for birds.

A lot of people who regurgitate "improvement" talking points to discredit any criticism of AI have little to no awareness of the trickery that occurs behind the scenes to provide this mirage. Not only for autonomous vehicles, but the army of human labour used to fine tune generative AI.

When AI was added to a tool for sinus surgery: “Cerebrospinal fluid leaked from one patient’s nose. In another… a surgeon mistakenly punctured the base of a patient’s skull. In two other cases, patients suffered strokes after a major artery was accidentally injured” www.reuters.com/investigatio...

The AI features added to Notepad created a critical exploit vulnerable to loading a compromised txt file. The fix is part of Patch Tuesday, so update your systems. AI is not a feature I ever desired in Notepad. I should look into some alternatives...

One in three UK people use chatbots for medical advice. Users receive dangerous, inaccurate, and inconsistent information.

"To think about any of [the dozens of ads from AI companies that ran during the Superbowl] for more than five seconds is to realize how little they stand up to scrutiny. Which is exactly how the brands want it generally: feeling more, thinking less." www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

My take on AI use 1) It's making it harder for people to learn *how* to learn 2) If you can't do everything you think ou should be doing without resorting to it — then you're doing (or being asked to do) too much www.patreon.com/posts/149942...

Interesting rhetoric from AOC here

International aid is lifesaving.

Really...? This would come as a big surprise to the UN. 🙄

I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

Experimenting with toning ##Cyanotypes

This is really the critical point: Firefox is packing its browser with AI slop functions by default; relying on a user actively choosing to turn it off. That isn't neutral - that is a political and ideological statement that they want more reliance on these tools

Job offer!! I’m helping a PBS series look for a social media manager/content creator for an upcoming promotional campaign. The start date is ASAP, and a project timeline that currently goes to July. This is for a series on American Muslim history, so candidates with cultural familiarity preferred!

This is your reminder to submit questions ASAP for Dr. Radesky to answer. Some questions so far: - Are there red flags to look for when kids use chatbots? - What age should kids get phones? - Is some screentime better than other screentime? - Is there a cost to NOT exposing my kids to AI?

Today we’re releasing the International AI Safety Report 2026: the most comprehensive evidence-based assessment of AI capabilities, emerging risks, and safety measures to date. 🧵 (1/19)

NEW: Records reviewed by WIRED show DHS’s facial recognition app (Mobile Fortify) isn’t designed to actually "verify" identity—despite DHS claims and its agents relying on its matches to support probable cause in the field.

What its journalists do—accountability journalism about the rich and powerful—does not serve someone who is rich and powerful. The Washington Post and many of its reporters are no longer useful to Bezos, and so he has decided to get rid of them. @jasonleopold.bsky.social gets into it:

A new study models the human cost of continued aid cuts: “mild defunding” could mean 9.4M excess deaths by 2030 (including 2.5M children under five). A “severe defunding” path rises to 22.6M (5.4M under five). Investing in the #SDGs saves lives. https://ow.ly/vp9I50Y9lGH

Wikipedia has signed major AI training deals with Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft. Now, regional-language Wikipedia editors are doing double duty: feeding LLMs with credible knowledge while fighting a flood of AI-generated misinformation

Amazing opportunity drops. (This made me wish I had the stamina for another PhD!)

Wall Street predicts that AI will do for the software industry what it has done for radiologists, lorry drivers, etc. That's sad.
