If the scientific community fails to address the influence of AI, then authentic research and validated findings will slow down to an expensive trickle... New editorial by @holdenthorp.bsky.social @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Got this text a couple months. Had to investigate it. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/16/t...
"Like a cat leaving a dead bird at your doorstep, Anthropic catalogs the grim future that its products might produce, shrugs its shoulders and then returns to its furious efforts to make these warnings a reality." 😂 www.nytimes.com/2026/06/17/o...
Spotify competitor Tidal built a reputation by collaborating with musicians and focusing on audio quality. How will it handle the era of AI-generated slop?
"Ben owns a farm. He employs 100 workers. His payroll is $10 million/year. One day, he buys a mule, which provides the worker who uses it a modest 10% productivity gain. Benjamin fires 99 of his workers and purchases 99 mules, expecting a 1000% productivity gain." www.mcsweene…

Another significant development: a German regulator now says Google's AI Overviews fall under media law. "AI search engines and chatbots are content providers, and we will consistently apply German media law to them from now on" - ZAK's Thorsten Schmiege
The reason they want to automate education is the same reason why we know how to fix it: what makes for "good education" hasn't really changed in 100 years. Small classes, high contact. Lots of movement around the edges but this basic proposition is expensive and labor intensive!
A really interesting piece on reducing AI cheating in the classroom from a Professor of English and former Dean of Humanities at University of Utah. The solutions? Smaller classes, lower teaching loads for faculty, and in-person classes.
Tyler Whitmer & Ben Rashkovich of LASST explain xAI's suit against California's AB 2013, a law requiring AI developers to publish general documentation of their training datasets—what they call the functional equivalent of an ingredient label.
