I know everything feels terrible and doomy but I've been working on surveillance issues for most of my adult life and I have never seen so much energy, momentum, and concrete VICTORIES happening as what we are seeing right now on Flock cameras and facial recognition in venues. Keep. Going.

Today Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker is announcing that he will temporarily halt tax breaks for data center developers. He will also call on the state legislature to take multiple actions around data centers, including banning NDAs that have been used to keep these projects secret.

"The students who cannot read a 20-pg article today are the voters who will not be able to read a bill or the jurors who cannot follow a closing argument, tomorrow." The most important argument against AI in education is that it's incompatible with a free society. www.chronicle.com/article/my-s...

It's absurd that a podcast about gender affirming care for trans youth failed to include a single interview of a current trans youth. And yet, this was considered pulitzer worthy. They were missing the entire subject of the story. Trans people are always spoken about but never spoken to.

Are you in the ~75% of Americans who think there should be more regulation to protect personal information? This bill doesn’t do that. House Republicans somehow took 65 pages to tell Big Tech “keep on doing what you’re doing.” A weak federal standard is worse than no standard at all.

Are you 1 of the ~9 million Americans in a state where your legislators banned the sale of your precise location data? Say goodbye to that protection! The SECURE Data Act allows the sale of your location data w/ consent. Don’t want to consent? Too bad, you can’t use the app. Hope you didn’t need it!

Claude cannot actually feel, it can't think, it doesn't have opinions, it isn't self aware, it doesn't have context outside the immediate window you are using it with. By asking for its comment on war crimes you are legitimizing the idea that it can be used autonomously or for war at all. Stop it.

Just heard an AI ethicist talk about how important it is that we say ‘MEN are using Grok to undress images of babies, children and women’ not ‘Grok is….’. Grok isn’t responsible for the action, the men enabling & using it for this repulsive purpose are. Small but important bit of linguistic accuracy

People betting on how long the White House press briefing would be.

Today's White House Press Briefing had a 98% chance of running over 65 minutes - until Karoline Leavitt abruptly ended it with seconds to spare.

The troubling thing is the "doing it for the meme" style of violence may be leaving the furthest and darkest fringes of the internet and entering into social spaces we would better recognize as maybe not normal, but certainly adjacent to it. Jahn may not have had that "single issue".

My pregnancy introduced me algorithmically to the world of mommy blogging and content creation. It was the most regressive garbage I have ever seen. So much of it was the cult of promoting women’s pain as “natural,” and “natural” was a pipeline to anti-science MAHA. Demonizing an OTC painkiller fits

In an executive order, Trump targeted the Smithsonian and the National Museum of African American History & Culture suggesting that it is “divisive” and pedaling “improper ideology.” So, I took a trip back to the museum, and what I saw was a place trying to tell the unvarnished truth about America.

The minute the New Deal started conservatives were like “it’s only a matter of a few years before we go full communism” and yet, somehow, we never got within earshot of full communism. Meanwhile, all it took was electing one Black president and within a few years we’ve got Nazi salutes at CPAC.

When this presidency ends—and it will end—we need a Rooseveltian plan to not only undo the damage he did, but build bigger than we’ve ever built before. Big universal programs and mandates. Pack the SCOTUS. Kill Buckley v. Valeo and Citizens United v. FEC. New anti-trust laws aimed at Amazon. Etc.
