Who wants to bet that contracts with 👮♂️ are coming soon. What, you thought integrating face surveillance was for when you forgot a coworker’s name?

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays.
Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn.

Online surveillance is justified by a narrative that it helps to ‘optimise’ ie rationalise advertising. Aside from the law & ethics of that, it can’t even be possible if the metrics are made up by platforms, as also discussed in Subprime Attention Crisis by @timhwang.bsky.social

There’s entire generations of people that will not rest, will not stop, until every last one of these monsters carrying out Israel’s genocide are behind bars. The world will never be the same again. Their power will run out. Time is against them. And they know it.

AI policy experts were dead wrong? When experts only apply linear analysis... Biden's whole plan to categorise countries in worse and better is shaking in its foundations. Unless it goes to the bottom That's how it is when you think that in Computer Science everything depends on hardware.
