Germany's DeepL builds on AWS. France's Mistral builds with Nvidia. Sweden's Lovable just got a jump scare as Anthropic moved in to eat its lunch. That's the starting point of a new series we're launching with @leevisaari.eurosky.social @techpolicypress.bsky.social @ainowinsti…
Who regulates AI when Washington won’t? @smw.bsky.social joins @usatoday.com's The Excerpt to discuss how AI companies “are being allowed to grade their own homework” and how to fill these regulatory gaps to protect frontline communities. Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/us/pod…
‘Uber for Nursing Part II’ featured in the @theguardian.com. The future of the care economy could offer little of the stability and safeguards that workers and patients have fought so hard to win if gig nursing platforms get to set the rules.

Recent commentary
At the Seattle City Council, @katiejwells.bsky.social explained what happens to fair pricing when retailers adopt AI-powered algorithms. She shared why it is so hard to document this practice and highlighted @moreperfectunion.bsky.social’s grocery pricing investigation, which did just that.
This week, @smw.bsky.social testified before the US Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. Her testimony highlighted the economic risks of the ‘AI bubble’ – a race to the bottom, where the American people absorb all of the downsides; higher prices, job loss and devaluation.
