Wow did the US teachers' union AFT vibe code its National Academy for AI Instruction website, because it's a complete mess. Like, the *worst* homepage, not at all reassuring as a source of expert knowledge on AI really.

The internet, as public utility.

Nationalize AWS, while we're at it, for the same reason that the government maintains roads, to give everyone access to the rest of society.

My book Radical Infrastructure came out last week! It goes deep into the political and economic roots of technological infrastructure to explain hype around various technical projects, and counters it with cases of people pushing back.

i had to do a presentation in 2005 to an eLearning company about why they shouldn’t sink time and money into building an online university in Second Life and the pitch was basically this.

It strikes me that even in things like the Matrix where they're all in simulation, it's a shared simulation.

One horror of the chatbot is that everyone is isolated into their own reality with the amplifying social permission of a group, and none of the friction

When you aren't supposed to talk about gender in class but want to explain how the US and Russia went from probe and drogue space docking to a 50/50 system where the first word in its name is literally "Androgynous", because neither country was willing to be the, er, receiver

Schumer is pro the war on Iran and I think that in and of itself is disqualifying. It seems imperative that Democrats demand that he resign or be replaced as Senate minority leader because he is actually working to support the fascist in chief. It's untenable.

Frontier AI companies are hiring chemical and biological weapons experts to prevent destructive misuse of their platforms, but these mitigation systems have no external oversight — leaving critical risk governance subject to the whims of the companies and market forces, writes Javaid Iqbal Sofi.

After spending the past few months talking to trans people directly hit hard by this ban, I'm honestly enraged.

“…legal pressure is now colliding directly with OpenAI’s legislative strategy: the company is backing an Illinois bill that would shield AI labs from liability even in cases involving mass deaths or catastrophic financial harm.”

One narrative thread that runs though this moment in American life is a sense of inevitability. That idea animates public discourse on AI data centers, concentration camps, even authoritarian rule. But it’s a dark magic illusion. Nothing is inevitable. The sooner we realize that, the better.

why do I find it so wildly offensive and paternalistic when I see folks suggest that LLM use can help 'disadvantaged' people to 'write better' or 'save time'?

because it is such a sad underestimation of people's abilities, a surrender to a thoughtless monoglot ideology, a celebration of ignorance

For those of us who never used all of our Bluesky invite codes before they went away, they should be turned into uninvite codes where we can delete accounts of our choice

Our listener, Markus, lost a friend tragically a month or so ago, and when he went to search info about her online, he found a bunch of AI generated, deeply edited incorrect info about her. Looking into these took us places. Please listen.

Yes, the Strait of Hormuz is now tolled and that's bad. Also there's an entire school of little girls that will never grow up and an entire country of people who are traumatized for the rest of their lives because they thought they were going to die, and that's way, WAY worse.

Our PhD student Kennedy Orwa, who studies applications of AI to health care, was hastily deported today to Kenya along with his 13-year-old son without opportunity to speak to legal counsel.

King 5 reports that he held a valid visa that was rescinded without explanation.

So happy to share that my new book, "The Rulers. Corporate Power in the Age of AI and the Cloud" is ready for preorder!!!

As we see an increase in the use of AI in every sector, from warfare to software programming, this book aims to explain why and how the Cloud matters above all.
