An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.

To Australians concerned about the under-16 social media ban, especially after seeing the effects of the UK's Online Safety, I emailed Electronic Frontiers Australia and they suggested contacting your local MP, senator, or to the minister behind it, Anika Wells.

I assume Australia will be blocked as well? Their social media ban has the same effect and was passed with identical intentions as Mississippi's law.
Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.
While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

Cops thanked us for how peaceful the events were and how volunteers helped direct protestors and car traffic smoothly. I am hearing the same for NYC: very peaceful and low police presence. This was a peaceful day of Americans exercising our rights.

The fact that Peter Dutton’s warning about leaks was itself leaked highlights the lack of respect & loyalty for him within the Coalition.
And it raises questions about his leadership - if Dutton doesn't have control of the party and can’t manage his own MPs, how can he run the country? #auspol
