We have a great model for European tech — shared infrastructure, democratic governance, an actually-free market, free movement of people across the digital landscape, social verification, pluralism and subsidiarity — and it doesn't involve copying American fascists.

On the Tech Policy Press podcast, editor Justin Hendrix talks with UNC Chapel Hill researchers Daniel Kreiss and Lorcan Neill about their new paper, "Militant Platform Democracy: A Framework for Democracy-Worthy Platform Policies." "Platforms have to proceed from an analysis of power," Kreiss says.

You realise this isn't a real social media site? It's a version of the Truman Show, created by AI, so each of us gets a personalised mix of low level appreciation tempered by a constant stream of terrible news to keep us in a state of chronic anxiety which we can only relieve with online shopping.

this is only stuff you can do on open models not just open weights, but fully open models with open datasets this stuff is extremely important, and we know next to nothing about it
Matlin and Chakraborty designed a study » around inf'yence functions, a technique that estimates how much any single training document - an article, post, or page a model trained on - shaped how the model answered a particular benchmark question.
Add those estimates up across the data, and you can see which kinds of writing - literary, technical, and so on - support a given ability in the model. But that holds only if you can confirm the model actually trained on the documents in question.

Meta is the Torment Nexus @priva.cat · 27/08/2026
My initial read of the Meta settlement is that it's a preview of what's to come as tech firms become extensive: a settlement paying out a token amount, subject to onerous, nearly impossible conditions, with no meaningful structural change, in exchange for giving up oversight and enforcement.

Not just lobbying! our new paper maps 27 mechanisms of regulatory capture used by Big AI + 11 narrative framings that rationalise capture. “Big AI’s Regulatory Capture: Mapping Industry Interference and Government Complicity” will be presented at #FAccT2026 next month arxiv.org/abs/2605.068... 1/
Title: Big AI’s Regulatory Capture: Mapping Industry Interference and Government Complicity

abstract: Over the past decade, the AI industry has come to exert an unprecedented economic, political and societal power and influence. The well-functioning of regulatory and oversight structures and processes that govern the industry thus have paramount ramifications for everything from fostering public trust in systems marketed as AI, the credibility of scientific knowledge, educational and healthcare services and products, information ecosystems, the environment, rule of law and integrity of democratic process. In this paper, we first develop a taxonomy of mechanisms enabling capture to provide a comprehensive understanding of the problem. Grounded in design science research (DSR) methodologies and extensive scoping review of existing literature and media reports, our taxonomy of capture consists of 27 mechanisms across five categories. We then develop an annotation template incorporating our taxonomy, and manually annotate and analyse 100 news articles. The purpose behind this analysis is twofold: validate our taxonomy and provide a novel quantification of capture mechanisms and dominant narratives. Our analysis identifies 249 instances of capture mechanisms, often co-occurring with narratives that rationalise such capture. We find that the most recurring categories of mechanisms are Discourse & Epistemic Influence, concerning narrative framing, and Elusion of law, related to violations and contentious interpretations of antitrust, privacy, copyright and labour laws. We further find that Regulation stifles innovation, Red tape and National Interest are the most frequently invoked narratives used to rationalise capture. We emphasize the extent and breadth of regulatory capture by coalescing forces — Big AI and governments — as something policy makers and the public ought to treat as an emergency.

In its current form, what is called AI – again, not reducible machine learning technologies – is a product of platform capitalism, and its large-scale implementation is used to solidify dominant and increasingly monopolistic power and property relations. Of course, this has to be rejected 5/

Is Pope Leo reading Baudrillard
Pope Tweet: “When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.”

Though OpenAI’s new policy doc is being taken seriously by some in the media, it's ultimately a "policymercial": a document that tells us far more about how the company wants people to think about OpenAI than what it wants us to do about OpenAI. My latest for @techpolicypress.bsky.social --

OpenAI’s New ‘Industrial Policy for the Intelligence Age’ is a Policymercial
