We need to make it illegal for AI models to offer advertising. And, we need to really examine referral fees as well.
The last thing we need is to have algorithms designed to maximize revenue driving LLM output and interactions.
We need to have learned our lessons from algos in social media

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there.

One consequence of the resistance to established science is the way it forces scientists and journalists to re-prove and remind people of what is true. NPR has a story noting why measles are a big deal: It's one of the most contagious diseases on Earth. loom.ly/WMZO9pw
