Newsletter: Goldman Sachs has called BS on Generative AI, and I believe that it's time that everybody follows suit - generative AI is unreliable, unsustainable, requires an entire rebuild of America's power grid, and is most decidedly not the future.

Heritage is apparently already planning the legal fight to keep any possible Biden replacement off the ballot in battleground states. One win in one key state court, and the election is literally over. The replacement idea was always terrible, now it's clearly fatally toxic.

And he’ll apply this to private business: he’ll go full Putin and demand his share of revenue lest he deems your company an enemy. He’s already using this language, and those companies should expect to lose gov contracts (AWS), fed license (Comcast) and ability to compete against his biz (Meta).

Big win for #data #privacy in Virginia, but if you're wondering why the ultra-MAGA gov signed it, remember that states barred from obtaining such data via warrant can & do still buy it on the open market (as @jesgilbert.bsky.social & I discuss in our book THE SECRET LIFE OF DATA) wapo.st/3W3jaIp

And we must embrace a more holistic approach to learning/teaching that includes critical thinking and reasoning skills to both build and understand what others design, write, create. A narrow focus - whether it is in training or a ban - is a self-imposed limit.

Republicans have effectively criminalized studying how information moves on the internet at the request of a handful of billionaires and racists. I was writing a book about this, but went and did some other thing. If someone wants my notes or wants to talk to me about who to talk to, let me know.

This is not just one person’s or one research center’s problem.

The World Economic Forum lists Misinfo as their #1 risk to global stability over the next 2 years … and climate-fueled weather extremes (a common misinfo target) as #2.

This puts us ALL at risk. /🧵

US Income Tax Revenue: $2.2 trillion US Imports: $3.8 trillion This would be a $1 trillion annual handout to the top 1%, paid for by massive inflation in consumer goods, something like 55%-60%. Breaking the economy to give the richest even more, that's the Republican way.

Can we ack how good this article is? I feel it really shows the levels of issues: the power dynamic he abuses for young women early in careers; how women leave and still have to spout ‘the genius lie’ to protect their futures; forced prostitution, and; his primary view of woman as breeders.

I appreciated this as i have been worried about his impacts on the economy. With his supporters, what are you thoughts on why: is it ignorance of the outcome, as you conclude, that we all fail in this cronyism; or, is this pure ego, they have so much money they feel insulated from any collapse?
