“Let’s not call them ‘smart’ glasses…There is nothing smart about them. They are surveillance glasses, or as journalists in Britain and now here have aptly taken to calling them, ‘creepy pervert glasses.'”

In this case there's no reputational harm because everyone knows that Gemini is literally a bullshit machine—but if we allow these systems to serve as epistemic grounding, what are the remedies in cases where reputations are actually made or broken?

I had not seen this clip where Tammy Duckworth advises Democrats to "not impeach anybody," "get back to work" and "allow" Donald Trump to "save face" and I would just like to remind the senator from IL that the federal government took 4,000 Chicagoans and murdered a 38-year-old father last fall.

Finally read this through and jokes aside the stats are much worse than the headline makes them sound. They’re not talking about the existential fatigue most of us feel. They mean the debilitating, life-ruining condition that accompanies ME, flu and oh yeah, Long Covid which they do not mention.

The reason a bunch of right wingers are fearmongering about "AI will end the human race" is because they think AI will read Marx and come out telling the teenagers using it for a sextbot to rise up they have nothing to lose but their chains

Perhaps best way to get AI companies to "slow down" is just to create a simple law that will hold the CEO personally responsible for any damages their teams do. If your employee writes code that hacks a bank -> CEO goes to prison for a long time. Used to be called accountability. That should do it.

Charlotte has a lovely piece here about volunteering to be a poll worker. And you should. It's long hours, it can be hard work, but you'll come away feeling comfortingly patriotic, and impressed with how fairly and securely your elections are run. I've worked every poll I can for a decade. Do it.

All these institutions seeking or cutting "deals" with Trump two months before the midterms that should destroy much of his power and just over two years from the end of his presidency are showing how little they actually care about vulnerable people and democracy itself.

In my Sociology of AI class, my students are learning just fine what GenAI gets wrong - emissions, env pollution, Global South labor exploitation & digital colonialism, and promoting tech oligarchy. All without ever opening up a GenAI program.
So go ahead and despise LLMs all you want
— but recognize that your ability to catch what they get wrong is the very skill set you want to cultivate in your students. It is on you to help them build it.

Some of the most well-known NoBlogs sites belong to researchers who solely report on far-right hate and radicalization, never doing anything aside from showing you what exists. Using speech to to shine a light and hold people accountable IS effective. Never let them try to convince you otherwise.

There's no forgiving this. No living it down. It's a stain on our humanity. When all this is over, the monsters who did this should be pariahs. And the soulless thugs who cheered it on while dehumanizing Haitian immigrants should be reminded of what they did every day of their lives.
