The “largest theft of labor in human history.” That’s what Microsoft employees called the massive scraping of content to build AI in docs revealed in the @nytimes.com case. Our investigation shows it's YouTube videos too. @colbertlateshow.bsky.social @jimmykimmel.com @mkbhd.com @lastweektonight.com

There is so much debate about what AI will do to us in the future. But @proofnews.bsky.social is reporting about what AI is doing to us right now. This week we dove deep into an AI robot named Moxi that has been deployed to more than 25 hospital systems across the U.S. www.proofnews.org/moxi/

Meet the Robot That Nurses Unplugged

Spinning in circles and crying for help, Moxi robots became another charge to care for, nurses said.

FL homeowners are "sweating their assets" with HELOCs, hoping to beat the "Great Repricing" of climate risk. There's rising mortgage distress. Without FEMA, the state faces tough financial strain. Not just Florida's problem, but a national economic threat. susanpcrawford.substack.com/p/a-perfect-...

A perfect storm of risk in Florida

Climate risk is going up, property values are going down, and FEMA might be leaving

A financial time bomb: the alarming intersection of mortgage lending, physical climate risk, and federal policy. Nonbank lenders financing homes in high-risk areas, GSE privatization retaining an "implied guarantee"--all muting market signals. susanpcrawford.substack.com/p/its-still-...

It's still easy to buy a home in a climate risky area. It's harder to sell it.

Fintech lenders are more likely to approve loans in high climate risk areas, but property values in those areas are dropping.

Jamie Dimon warns of market complacency, but is Wall Street overlooking a greater, hidden threat? The accelerating physical impacts of climate change remain a blind spot. Are we being "extraordinarily complacent" about climate's physical threat to stability? open.substack.com/pub/susanpcr...

Jamie Dimon is right to worry about US economic stability

He may want to consider adding physical climate risk to his list of concerns

There's a substantial chance 2025 could be an unthinkably expensive disaster year in the US, says Swiss Re. But we keep building more expensive sandcastles along the beach, because developers vehemently oppose changes in how and where we build - new post today: open.substack.com/pub/susanpcr...

Telling the stories of im/migrants with nuance and complexity has been my life’s work — and it began with my own. Because of America’s broken immigration system, I was physically separated from my mother and sister for 31 years. We reunited at last. Watch our story now: youtu.be/D26-QdVWOXU?...
