Canada is refusing to issue ISBNs to books primarily generated with AI. This illustrates both the urgency of the problem of the growing flood of slop books, and also the toothlessness of addressing it on the honor system without there also being consequences for lying
Use of artificial intelligence
By registering with ISBN Canada, you declare that your book was created by a human author. You may use AI tools only for limited support tasks, such as brainstorming ideas, checking grammar, or formatting your book. You must not use AI to generate the text, create the artwork, or translate the book. ISBN Canada does not issue ISBNs for works whose content is primarily generated by AI. LAC is currently reviewing its policy regarding the use of AI content creation and our guidance is subject to change.

Good work from Stuff reporting both of these phenomena. Step 2 is for them or anyone else in the gallery to make the point - that seems obvious but needs to be said explicitly - is that these are not unrelated. One side of politics is cultivating virulent bigotry & the other is targeted by it.
DPS steps in as Chris Hipkins confronted by man on the campaign trail
Labour leader Chris Hipkins has been confronted by a man ahead of his media stand up in Mt Albert. 

A Dignitary Protection Service [DPS] officer, who is part of a specialised branch of the NZ Police responsible for providing personal security to key national figures, could be seen with his arm outstretched as the man approached the group. It appears the man was given a push by the DPS officer. 

Hipkins said he didn’t hear what the person said to him.

“Every now and then you get someone who disagrees with you. I didn’t actually hear what he said.” 

An unidentified person could be heard saying, "he's a conspiracy theorist".On the road with ACT: The party's supporters want to talk about race
ACT MPs rolled into Tauranga in their big pink bus - Big Pinky - yesterday to talk about the many ways of ‘Unlocking New Zealand’s Potential’.  Their supporters mostly wanted to talk about one thing - race.

Stuff's Isaac Davison was on the road and filed this report.

ACT believes three main things are holding the country back: large, unresponsive government; red tape; and “obsession with identity”.

It was the third thing that was the hot topic in Tauranga.

Seymour was approached by a young mother who had been eagerly waiting for a conversation. She wanted to praise him for being the only politician to promote “equal rights” in New Zealand.

Another who turned out from Mt Maunganui said, “Māori issues are a disgrace”.

The first recipient of the grant is Machine Gods, NPR’s new video podcast from former Hard Fork hosts Kevin Roose and Casey Newton, which is receiving a $480,000 grant from the organization. Tarbell is also separately backing NPR’s “Power and Influence” desk, giving the public media outlet $250,000 to help expand its coverage of how AI intersects with politics, money, and power.

Regret to inform that multiple correspondents on RNZ's Facebook page suspect that the Green Party staged the whole thing. (By, I guess, hiring an anonymous stunt driver to drive around the barriers in front of an oncoming train, just as they announced the policy.) We live in the stupidest of times.

Dear YouTube. When I click on a thing that's about to be live, I don't want a teaser or recommendations that want me to click away. I want the thing to go live when it goes live, and have the tab open for that. But you seem to want to do anything other than have me stick around for the broadcast.

So the plan is to spend millions (billions?) to put satellites into low earth orbit that contain server hardware that can only run for 15 minute bursts and can never be recovered, recycled, or repurposed? Forgiving these dipshits would be a massive moral failing.
Once commissioned, the satellite will fire up its TPU in 15-minute bursts to avoid straining the satellite’s power and thermal management systems. This satellite is based on a standard platform built by Planet Labs, but the two companies are working on a demo expected to take flight next year that will see two satellites more purpose-built for advanced compute. Those future versions will attempt to collaborate via a laser communications link.The good news, at least, in Google’s updated research, is that it seems likely that its chips will survive the radiation of space. The company had to redo tests blasting the chips in a particle accelerator after they realized the configuration of the chips provided more shielding than they would actually experience. This produced slightly more errors in the chip’s logic circuitry, but the company is still confident its chips can handle large inference workloads in orbit for the five-year lifespan of a satellite.

The most striking thing about Trump trying to rename "AI" is that it's about as sure a sign that everything within that field is about to collapse as any other. Everything he touches turns to shit, and the only reason to do this is if someone is really, REALLY panicking.
