To echo: do not cite anything you have not at least skimmed and can verify it really exists and says what you say it says (or is about what you say it is about). Even if you collect citations from others' work (a legit practice), CHECK THEM.

The new RSL Collective lets publishers add code to a site's robots.txt file to require AI companies to pay royalties or add attribution to license the content. It will be interesting to see if the AI companies honor it. It should help that big publishers have signed on. rslcollective.org

The nonprofit RSL Collective brings together millions of online publishers and creators to protect their rights and negotiate for fair compensation from AI companies.

Federal agencies are sharing data even when they’re not supposed to, EFF’s @cooperq.com told @kqednews.kqed.org. “Even if you personally are not concerned about ICE… it should be concerning to anybody. This is going to be used to further dragnet surveillance.” www.kqed.org/news/120556...

How ICE Is Using Your Data — and What You Can Do About It | KQED

ICE’s reach may get even wider due to a new partnership with a spyware company. But there have always been tools at the immigration agency’s disposal. KQED speaks to privacy advocates on what people should know about ICE’s access to their personal data.

We need to tax wealth not work. Why? Because usually no matter how hard you work, the compound interest on huge wealth grows much faster than your wages + the rich use this passive income to buy all the assets. Someone made a game to show this: therichdont.work

There's a lawsuit about AI stealing your work. It's the same lawyers taking on Elsevier et al in a separate case. Academics: 1. Check if your work is in LibGen at www.theatlantic.com/technology/a... 2. If so, let the lawyers know at www.lieffcabraser.com/anthropic-au...

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

Yeah, the Flipper has been a concern ever since I first saw it in the wild. It won't stop with cars either. I suspect remote locks will be a target too, eventually.
