Scientists are concerned that the H5N1 virus, also known as the bird flu, could set off another human pandemic. But for wild birds, the virus has already decimated avian populations around the globe, with body counts that can sometimes be staggering.

So @cbo.bsky.social and I have a new piece out in SciAm.
We look at the drive by OpenAI, Apple, etc to create personally-aligned LLMs as intermediaries between users and primary text on the internet, and consider the possible consequences on society as any shared understanding of the world erodes.
