Posting shit in this (admitted) echo chamber doesn’t move the needle a bit. Post on other platforms with your real name, affiliation, and such? Well, I’m being civil. But it just might shift things ever so slightly.

If AI systems derive value from news, the organizations that invest in reporting, fact-finding, and accountability journalism must have leverage in determining the terms of that relationship. The UK CMA’s binding conduct requirement on Google is a first step toward that, writes Courtney C. Radsch.
