Deepfakes don’t just fool us. They make us cynical. Study finds that perceived exposure to deepfakes increases media cynicism, &. that confidence in one’s ability to detect them may worsen mistrust. By Christian Pieter Hoffmann et al. @sscratsage.bsky.social journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

The H1-B visa application fee increasing from $1000 to $100,000 a year could be a win for Canada

- Start ups could move to afford talent
- Companies could expand satellite offices to keep talent
- More medical professionals to meet backlogs

Now US research institutes really need satellite campuses
Trump signs proclamation imposing annual $100,000 fee on H-1B visas
Move deals potentially major blow to US tech industry, which relies heavily on workers from India and China

My newest piece in the Conversation. I find that in the UK, those on the right are more likely to boycott because of Trump’s tariffs. In Canada and France, those on the right and left boycotted US products, services and travel.
