On the verge of Passover, the holiday of liberation, the self-proclaimed Jewish state is planning to ethnically cleanse southern Lebanon of Shia Muslims: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/w...

Oh so now copyright matters.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... “Its application to residents of the occupied Palestinian territory would constitute a war crime,” said the UN’s human rights chief, Volker Türk.

a funny new trope that i see popping up in tech companies' statements on outages/leaks is that they're eager to blame people, not the AI coding tools.

“The scale of the nightmare in Gaza and the West Bank is vast. It is her job to somehow absorb and relay it to the rest of the world. That costs her profoundly — more than any American sanctions.”

The AI economy looks...really precarious. So @matteowong.bsky.social & I did a bunch of reporting to try to figure out what happens when a potential bubble collides with a war in Iran and a potential resource shortage. The answer is...arguably the most dire stuff i've heard from smart ppl in a while

🚨Paper on AI & Copyright Courts have credited AI companies' claims that alignment prevents reproducing copyrighted data. What if finetuning on a simple writing task breaks it. Worse: tuning on just one author (e.g., Murakami) unlocks verbatim recall of 30+ other authors' books (up to 90%) (1/n)🧵

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

In @nbcnews.com, @heidykhlaaf.bsky.social underscored that the use of AI speeds up the pace of warfare in ways that undermine accountability for mistakes. Speed "is really a cover for indiscriminate targeting when you consider how inaccurate these models are,” says Khlaaf. shorturl.at/tKGjM

Nature published another pile of trash i am trying to catch up on some of my reading but this one is getting under my skin so here’s a thread highlighting why this piece is either ill-informed or intentionally ignorant of a wealth of knowledge from embodied cog sci and related fields 1/

Woah....👀 This looks like a fantastic opportunity 👇

3.000 familier kan både få fødevarecheck og blive ramt af ny formueskat". Det kunne man læse i Altinget i går, baseret på tal fra CEPOS. Umiddelbart en klassisk forargelseshistorie. Men historien illustrerer faktisk hvorfor formueskat er nødvendigt 🧵 www.altinget.dk/artikel/nye-...

Der er nu debat om de unoterede aktier i debatten om formueskat (se hvem der ejer dem herunder). En lidt af en gammel traver er blevet hevet af stalden, nemlig at man ikke kan beskatte ikke-realiserede værdier, der er bundet i selskaber, fordi det ikke er 'rigtige penge'. Men det er ikke korrekt.

Hvor robuste er de danske valgtest? Ikke synderligt, viser ny forskning fra ITU 👇 #dkpol #fv26

“As military strikes continue across the country, children are being killed and injured at a horrifying rate, families are fleeing their homes in fear, and thousands of children are now sleeping in cold and overcrowded shelters.” - UNICEF's Edouard Beigbeder Learn more: https://unicef.link/4b0z3Ho

it turns out that the answer to the headline here is: like humans. listen. don't judge, but don't endorse the beliefs, either. as my friend wisely said: “There's value in having friendships where it's like, ‘I love you, but also, you're full of shit.’” www.404media.co/ai-psychosis...

NEW Preprint out 🚨 Given the upcoming general elections in Denmark, it’s a perfect time to post about our new preprint (w. @robysinatra.bsky.social & Giovanni Astante) --> arxiv.org/abs/2603.03532 (this work was deemed important and highly relevant for FAccT, but also rejected 🫠) 🧵 1/7

Interesting interview study about AI in the labor process. Best possible atmosphere (well-paid, autonomous) still results in more work, not less, because AI helps you multitask, work during nonwork time, extend your capability into other people's turf (experts then need to clean up vibejobs)

Killing people should not be something we do quicker than the speed of thought

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez doubled down on his opposition to the attack on Iran by the US and Israel, warning that the conflict risked playing 'Russian roulette' with the lives of millions

The same technological pinpoint accuracy that was used to slaughter children in Gaza now being used to slaughter children in Iran.

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

Jeg er rørt over den omsorg, som medierne viser for virksomhedsejeres følelser når det handler om formueskat. Hvorfor hører vi aldrig om hvordan specialarbejdere føler sig bekymrede over at de skal betale 50% i indkomsskat eller skolelæreres følelser om moms på deres indkøb.

84% of the time, “ChatGPT Health” killed a customer using their paid service as advertised

This is basically legalized insider trading

The Onion nails it

Love it when an Onion article has been relevant my entire adult life

Many are appropriately outraged by Altman’s comments here implying that raising a human child is akin to “training” an AI model. This is part of a broader pattern where AI industry leaders use language that collapses the boundary between human and machine. 🧵/

Great opportunity 👇 especially if you are interested in working at the intersection of AI and behavioral science

Gotta love #FAccaT reviews (il assuming this is about them). My experience this year is from three reviewers: - important work - interesting results - very relevant to the community - good methodology w. some limitations - trivial results 😅 - reject 🙃

New article in Nature describes a field experiment on X which shows that assigning users to an algorithmic feed pushes conservative content and demotes mainstream news. Sounds obvious but important in light of prior claims algorithms don't cause attitudinal changes. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Can feed algorithms shape what people think about politics? Our paper "The Political Effects of X's Feed Algorithm" is out today in Nature and answers "Yes." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

*hver gang*

This looks like a fantastic event 👇 and rockstar presenters too 🔥

"due to fundamental mathematical constraints that cannot be solved through better engineering" <- a lot of linguistic gymnastics to say that "hallucinations" are a feature, not a bug

Omg.....if you follow our course in "Algorithmic Fairness, Accountability, and Ethics" at @itu.dk we will tell you why this is a bad idea

What a loss to society....

Functionalist approaches measure intelligence by how closely its outputs resemble the human mind. If you constantly recalibrate its outputs to resemble a human mind, you're not creating a thinking machine. You are creating a machine to trick other functionalists.

⚠️ Despite all the hype, chatbots still make terrible doctors. Out today is the largest user study of language models for medical self-diagnosis. We found that chatbots provide inaccurate and inconsistent answers, and that people are better off using online searches or their own judgment.

"When civilians ask large language models questions about their health, the technology often gets it wrong." "The advancements could inadvertently expose more people to medical misinformation." h/t POLITICO Pulse www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is really cool 👇

Ban addictive designs, ban illegal content, regulate companies. Don't ban teenagers from digital platforms www.ft.com/content/cf46...

We should view Social Media as a systemic issue instead of a symptomatic one and tackle its root: Overcoming the commercial and exploitative logic we applied to digitalization so far. Making social media better and safer for eyeryone will be more sustainable for young people AND for democracy.

Deepfake abuse is abuse. Sexualised images, videos, or audio of children generated or manipulated using AI tools are child sexual abuse material. We need urgent action to prevent and protect children from this escalating threat. www.unicef.org/press-releas...

NEW: I went undercover, as a human poster, on the social network designed just for AI agents. The site isn’t a novel breakthrough; it’s simply a crude rehashing of sci-fi fantasies for the hype machine’s true believers. My latest for @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/i-infi...

Holy shit. What a result, voter suppression add potentially resulted in 4.7 million fewer votes. How is it not illegal to run voter suppression ads? (Asking as a European, because to me this seems highly undemocratic)
