Say it louder for the folks in the back: Jawboning is a real problem that deserves real jurisprudence, but this case was always built on lies, misrepresentation, and conjecture. Glad to see the majority recognize that.

📣 Some personal news: one month from today, my book is out! 🎉
I wrote the 📖 during a wild year as Jim Jordan subpoenaed & Stephen Miller sued me & my colleagues. Now it’s my turn to tell the story.
Preorders are open —they really help! If you hate AMZN, small shops on my website.

I don’t read a lot of books with ERM as a main character, for, uh, obvious reasons, but when I tell you I could not put this book down for the last day and read it in more or less 2 sittings — take that as the endorsement it is.

I’m in Australia for meetings and was telling someone how cute I find the kangaroo and emu in the Australian coat of arms. Without missing a beat, the guy I was talking to said, “Lots of countries have animals in their coats of arms, but Aussies are the only ones who eat the animals in ours.”

Late last year, after my legal threats quieted down, I started to get very frustrated with the lack of coordinated response to the war on truth and the intimidation of those who defend it.

It is pretty much the perfect encapsulation of my attitude towards arguing on the internet, after too many years of being yelled at by strangers. I think of it often.

In my head, I once saw a cartoon that goes something like: - Person is raging about something inconsequential - Angel appears out of parted clouds and deposits into the raging person’s hands a reaction to the raging that just says, like, “ok cool” Did I hallucinate this meme? Internet, help me!

Maybe I completely missed this when it happened, but was there ever any coverage of the fact that Wikileaks now quietly throw a 500 error when you try to access the 2016 DNC hack-and-leak? Literally nothing else on the Wikileaks site errors out in this way.

Personal view: Cloudflare's "well, uh, the legislative process should decide these things" view is a little naive, especially in a global context where authoritarianism is only getting more common... but it matters — A LOT — that we know that's their view!

I especially like this bit re: content moderation's usual failure conditions — which have little to do with moderation, and everything to do with a lack of institutional trust.

Saw my first Vision Pro in the wild, and — sharing this purely observationally, not judgmentally — the dude wearing it on my flight was actively and intensely (i.e. finger in nostril past the first knuckle) picking his nose.

It is deeply frustrating to watch Haidt cherrypick and twist research that I spent half my career in the thick of. I’m so grateful for Candice Odgers’ willingness to challenge him. He’s leading the public down the wrong path by playing into parents’ anxieties. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

When Google Reader died, I switched to Feedbin (feedbin.com - could not recommend more enthusiastically) and the Reeder app on iOS and Mac, and the overwhelming majority of my news and content diet remains RSS-based.
I’m so glad to see someone crack the paid-RSS issue.

I always wish I could tolerate the distortion of a privacy screen so I could get shit done on planes, but no. And as a shameless shoulder surfer, I always assume everyone is as interested in what I’m doing on my laptop as I am in theirs.

So much of what the Russian IRA was doing from 2015-2017 was clumsy, stupid experimentation. They hit on a few successful formulae (mostly by pretending to be American women of color) largely by accident. I saw hundreds of failed efforts for each success. AI accelerates that experimental cycle.

This is (in my opinion) one of the most important pieces of empirical research to come out about generative AI’s actual/likely effects on politics.
@shelbygrossman.bsky.social and team are right to warn that AI built to parrot back our beliefs to us can be an effective vehicle for propaganda.
