Two days after Dario Amodei called for mandatory frontier AI testing, the US ordered Anthropic to cut off foreign access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5. I wrote about how Washington's improvised response exposed the lack of an AI safety playbook.
In "Proprietary LLMs impede scientific transparency and reproducibility," @killianmcloughlin.bsky.social, Alexis Palmer, @mjcrockett.bsky.social and I explain how the rush for LLMs in social science is destabilizing scientific reliability www.nature.com/articles/s44... @natrev…

"Auditing AI" is open access. We wrote it for leaders / organizers of all kinds who want to *do something* about AI, so if you want to read it for yourself, you can find it here. If you find it useful and share it with your communities, let us know! direct.mit.edu/books/book/6...
“Algorithmic Realism” by @benzevgreen.bsky.social and @salome.bsky.social is on my short list of papers most foundational to my research. Super excited that Ben has turned it into a book, and it's available for pre-order! mitpress.mit.edu/978026205570...

In the @inquirer.com, @geurkink.bsky.social clearly lays out the unambiguous reality that the Trump administration is engaging in a censorship campaign against researchers of technology companies and the information ecosystem. www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...
The law locks up the man or woman Who steals the goose from off the common, But leaves the greater villain loose Who steals the common from the goose. (I’m pretty sure James Boyle made us memorize this in his Intro IP class.)
