I would love to have benzevgreen.bsky.social chime in on this conversation.

Kate Taylor’s reporting in @wired.com is what I get at in my Trust Control documentary podcast when I talk about a new trust paradigm for how we measure trust in media and AI shifting toward the computational signals bots require, away from the ones humans crave. Get it at AIT…

Since idea of everyday joes sharing in AI profits is in news now, I thought I'd share this thoughtful, well-informed and at-times hilarious analysis of OpenAI's 'industrial' policy approach from @edwardongwesojr.com and @jathansadowski.com which pokes all the holes. As usual I…

Now I'm seeing lots of people watching my talk about investigating Portland police plans to use risky AI, I'm seriously questioning my choice to wear a shirt w a hole in it! But seriously folks, you can support my work (& help me buy new shirt?) via Patreon 👚🫣 www.patreon.com/…

There's a reason why an ad tech site has covered the "Alexa Home Map" - which works w Ring "Familiar Faces" facial recognition, etc. - so extensively. I feel for every kid growing up in an environment that is controllable, target-able & surveilled to this degree. WHY???

Just thought I'd share. I'm not an expert on open source methods for combating agentic attacks, so no analysis from me other than to ask is there a Hillary Clinton blue Pantone color? www.thestack.technology/hilary-clint...

Just now I did a quick reminder search for Mountain Standard Time zone. At 4:34 pm MST this is what Google's AI results showed me: That it's 4:59AM Mountain Standard Time! Isn't this like a super simple never-get-this-wrong AI task?

Until tomorrow, you can comment on Portland Police policy for trialing new tech. But DEADLINE IS HALLOWEEN Oct 31. I encourage you to read the draft updates to the policy before commenting. In my @streetroots.bsky.social story about PPB plans for AI use, I pointed out a few things about the policy:

Question to people who have been following me or are new via multiple AI related 'starter packs' I've been added to lately: Are you allowed to complain about a "Flock panopticon" if you have a Ring or another type of networked home surveillance camera?

Portland's "Approved and prohibited uses of Microsoft Copilot Chat" by city staff (a non-public document I got from a source) includes odd requirements such as "Always review content to remove unintended bias..." which is kind of like saying "Remove all nuts from the peanut butter."

At an eyeglasses shop other day (new lenses/aging eyes!) they had lots of Meta AI glasses. Salespeople said they're flying off shelves BUT users enabling camera say it creeps people out. Latest selling point is use for audio amplification. Eavesdropping? Salesfolks said I was first to suggest it!

I made a mini zine to print and cut and fold and give to people. It's about my new Trust Control podcast. No AI was used in the making of this mini zine. But I did use some images from old academic papers and trust measurement model studies and some image filters.

I don't use automation or AI agents to make public records requests from Portland city government but looks like the city might be seeing more and more of this sort of thing. The public records site now includes a captcha gate in order to complete a request.

Some of most influential research inspiring computational trust models (how computers 'measure' trust for AI agents & even how human worker trustworthiness is scored in relation to agents) was directly inspired by a 1930s method to measure 'aesthetic merit.' It ranked square #1, swastika #41, etc.
