Meta has enabled Muse to build extensive and ever-growing profiles on the orbit of people in a user’s life. Based on user input but also “publicly available information.” Whether that means a web search, Facebook’s own extensive data, or buying data broker info…we don’t know? And we can’t opt out.

17/ That is why “AI lies” is too shallow. AI is becoming an intermediary between the information environment and human belief. Ask for sources. Open them. Check the original reporting. Especially during a crisis, never confuse a fluent answer with a verified one. These are the times we are in.

Would have been easy to have missed this as it came out with little fanfare on Friday but this is a helpful Select Committee report on the official statistics system, which also rightly makes the case for preserving independence (rather than asserting Ministerial control)

almost every time someone "well actuallys" me about the usefulness of general-purpose AI it is to defend a breakthrough made by a narrow ML system, and this halo of association is so important to both OpenAI and Anthropic, and is presumably why they are now pursuing maths problems

@courtneymilan.com I just pulled this from a post over on Facebook, felt like it might be info worth sharing...
From Laura Resnick:

"Absolutely furious right now. 

The Anthropic settlement admin, in the huge AI copyright infringement case, is sending claimants information about claim disputes, disagreements or confusion over allocation of the settlement funds, etc.

Someone using the name "Stephen Edgington" is claiming 100% ownership and 100% of the settlement $ for more than 20 of my copyrighted books. I've never heard of this person, and I'm the sole copyright holder in every instance. So I have to upload my copyright documentation for every damn book to refute his fraudulent claim."From Laura Resnick (cont'd):

"I'm also writing to the settlement admin, with copyright evidence attached, to report "Stephen Edgington" for fraud and urge them to pursue this matter and hold that "claimant" accountable. I assume "he" is filing a 100% claim to the books of dozens (hundreds?) of writers in hopes of receiving Anthropic settlement money to which he has no right whatsoever, in instances where the actual copyright holders or their heirs have NOT filed a claim and so there is no one to challenge his fraud."
