I've said it before, but AI is the new bureaucracy, the new blackbox decision-maker the purpose of which is not to make decisions, but to obscure accountability and prevent any purchase in arguing against those decisions

Generative AI isn't magic — it's a fantastical version of autocomplete that can't help but make the same mistakes it learned from the things it's stolen from others.  Anyone who tells you otherwise is getting rich off the death of the internet. tinyurl.com/wyea31124

The assumptions behind this (well-researched) article explain so much about the enshittification of companies. Kickstarter provided a good service people loved, followed ethical standards, *and* made tons of money, but steady earnings instead of stonks to the moon = "fading brand" that needs fixing.

Corporate greed made the Change Healthcare cyberattack worse. The company handles records for 1 in 3 patients in the U.S. In 2022, regulators sued to block UnitedHealth Group's acquisition of Change, citing antitrust laws and the dangers of consolidation. Regulators were unsuccessful.

Amazon has long cultivated the idea that it runs its shopping platform on tiny margins, relying instead on AWS for its profits. This is widely reported. It's also not true. Amazon’s marketplace is hugely profitable. I have a new piece in The Atlantic on how Amazon has kept these profits secret.

Amazon’s Big Secret
Nearly 30 years after the company was founded, we still don’t really know where its profits come from. The answer will loom large in the antitrust case against it.

Just used the "Sky Follower Bridge" extension for Chrome to import my X/Twitter follows into Bluesky. Worked like a charm. Highly recommended. In cae you're worried, you must click Follow on each user it finds (there's no Follow All button) so it's a good chance to review them.

This sums it up perfectly. It’s not a conversation.
“There is no ethical way to use the major AI image generators. All of them are trained on stolen images, and all of them are built for the purpose of deskilling, disempowering and replacing real human artists.”

One aspect of Christian nationalism is the sense of persecution. This is held even by people with enormous power who are using that power to remove the rights of others.
This sense of persecution is puzzling. Christian nationalists wield extraordinary power relative to the size of their voting bloc. An acute example is Samuel Alito, one of the most powerful men in America, who complains that he and others who seek to remove rights from LGBTQ groups are ones being discriminated against: “Americans who do not hide their adherence to traditional religious beliefs about homosexual conduct will be ‘labeled as bigots and treated as such’ by the government.” His very ability to credibly threaten to remove such rights reflects a bizarre combination of victimhood and coercive power. Any critique of his ability to impose his values upon the lives of others is, in his mind, the true crisis that should guide government decisions.

To be clear what happened here: the State of Texas doesn't want to comply with federal statute about providing pregnant employees with reasonable accommodations, so it asked a federal judge to declare Congress invalid, and he agreed. This is what counts as "law" in 2024.

What I suspect is happening here is a little known sort of child welfare case where the parents have the resources to legally prevent them being labelled child abusers but the child is clearly saying they'd be at serious risk if sent back to them, and authorities believe them.
