A German teen told Meta's child safety researchers his under-10 little brother had been sexually propositioned multiple times on its VR platform. Meta deleted the evidence. New internal whistleblower docs indicate that was part of a broader cover-up: www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

AI companies should change the way their product works in a fundamental way. It should engage like a computer not a human, they don’t have minds, can’t think. They should work and sound like a computer. Prevent tragedy like this.

Personas & long-term memory increase the risk of people connecting emotionally with #AI & believing it is conscious. Those features may come with benefits but they also pose unintended risk to ppl's wellbeing. The "things" we risk breaking when we move fast, are PEOPLE. www.ibm.com/think/news/h...

I’m paying you a million dollars per year. Just solve ASI already. What’s the problem?

Amen to this. I wrote about this problem in "Artificial Unintelligence" in 2018; it's only gotten worse in the AI era.

Minnesota's oldest abortion clinic closed earlier this year, and is being replaced by a (relatively small) data center. You can't make this kind of cyberpunk dystopia future up. www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/minn... h/t @kateross.bsky.social

UX researchers are not ok, according to this post. They’re asked often to find some data that affirms users want more AI but when they don’t find that, they worry about losing their jobs quantuxblog.com/things-im-he...

A lot of people say generative AI shouldn't infringe on copyright. These researchers actually tried to do it. The result: an 8 terabyte dataset of text that's openly licensed or in the public domain & 7 B parameter model that performs as well as Meta's Llama 7B www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

How can ethical principles translate to the massive data used to train foundation models, like generative AI? Our #CSCW2025 workshop aims to explore how best to define the future of ethical responsibility in large-scale datasets for foundation model training. Apply here: tinyurl.com/CSCW-data

In an NPR video interview, @petebuttigieg.bsky.social leans into the idea that Democrats should oppose the status quo —and if they regain power they may not want to “just tape the pieces together.”

In the NPR interview, @PeteButtigieg had a warning about AI. He talked of it creating problems so vast, so quickly, that can grow beyond the ability even of a strong government to address.

Lovely interview by @npr.org's @steveinskeep.bsky.social with @stanfordhai.bsky.social's @erikbryn.bsky.social on #AI & the future of work! 🎧 There is also featured nugget in there from @petebuttigieg.bsky.social! 🫶 www.npr.org/2025/08/05/n...

It’s remarkable that Trump is focused on the predator and not a word about the victims: After Ghislaine Maxwell Interview, Concerns Mount Over Possibility of Pardon www.nytimes.com/2025/07/25/u...

The Department of Justice is pretending it needed to talk to notorious liar Ghislaine Maxwell to know the truth about Jeffrey Epstein, when it is concealing thousands of documents about him that don’t lie. It’s a sick farce.

I mean, I think we all feel like the ground is sinking

Morning, America. This is what it looks like to have a President spend millions of taxpayer dollars to play golf in Scotland while his party guts healthcare and food programs. (And on a point of golf etiquette, only a galactic piece of shit walks off & refuses to get his own ball from the hole)

No surprise. For me but not thee is the motto for these awful people
