Access restricted by nationality, not geographic location, is a fun sub-plot in here for ppl interested in the growing number of ways digital stuff is being put behind differently shaped identity verification gates www.anthropic.com/news/fable-m...
“For now, roughly half of the university system’s ChatGPT licenses have been activated, suggesting that at the very least C.S.U. paid for tens of thousands of logins that have gone entirely unused.” This is the scandal in plain sight. Why is CSU paying for a product that is free?
University of Washington researchers planned to have preschool teachers wear cameras that would record everything they saw, including the children they were teaching, then use it to develop AI models. @evystadium.bsky.social has more. Story by @josephcox.bsky.social: www.404me…
In Mississippi, lawyers on both sides of a court case were caught using AI, essentially two LLMs arguing against each other. The judge dismissed all lawyers from the case and canceled the trial: www.404media.co/judge-learns...
Check out this bit of ai alarmism from… the MIT Sloan School of Management.
OpenAI has said publicly that it recognizes that longer chat sessions introduce more risk to the users’ mental health. Even though these conversational AI companions can be unpredictable, chatbot makers have a choice in how they design their products. www.404media.co/new-study…
"When a society is unmoved by decades of advocacy from disabled communities but springs into action when a tech company needs the same accommodation, it reveals whose claims on shared resources are treated as legitimate and whose are treated as optional." www.techpolicy.press/…

Broken record here, but so many of these uses start with “how can we get people to use a chatbot” rather than “how do we solve a problem” or “how do we fill a need.” The “problem” according to the companies is that people aren’t using chatbots enough.
A key reason people in China are more receptive to AI than in America is that the courts there have ruled that you can't just lay people off because Claude can now do research and write code. You need a better reason than that. In America, CEOs can't wait to get rid of "low va…
"Whenever a person delegates a decision to an LLM, they are trying to off-load accountability for that decision, and if a company that sells an LLM portrays the product as having a moral center, it is offering a way for its customers to abdicate their responsibilities."
A growing assumption in AI safety is that frontier systems will fail unpredictably rather than through coherent misalignment. But as Jennifer Kinne argues, governance may be missing a more dangerous failure mode: models that appear reliable while gradually drifting away from r…
