Sometimes it’s convenient to articulate an unwillingness to be regulated as geopolitical conflict.

It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

As many know, @bjard.bsky.social and I have been drafting a Technology Law coursebook for a few years. We've used it to teach classes at three institutions, including Yale Law School, and others have used chapters in their techlaw classes.

We're excited to share the current version more broadly!

Meta designed its teen safety products to be ineffective and rarely used, outright blocking feature tests that might trigger users to spend less time on the platform.

In 2019 Meta did causal research looking at the effects of randomly asking Facebook users to stop using the platform for a month. After the first week of the study, results showed that leaving the platform was good for people’s mental health.

Did Sam Altman Just Figure out What 6-7 Means? The OpenAI CEO announced it will rename GPT-6 to GPT-6-7 referencing the viral Gen Alpha slang. We don't know if he is kidding.

That’s why I call it the Silicon Valley Effect. It’s a distinct regulatory agenda.

Thanks Jenna

All true. He was so very inspiring and prescient. If you’ve ever asked me why I believe that people with power may choose to sacrifice it to end violence - I learned that from Conor in 2008 when he showed us all how.

AI Should Help Fund Creative Labor Mariana Mazzucato & Fausto Gernone show how today’s innovation economy exploits the very people it relies on and propose a fairer system.

Every time you ask ChatGPT to proofread your email you quietly borrow from the labour of millions. In this sense, cultural production has already become a planetary co-operative. Updating its funding mechanism accordingly is necessary: it is time to socialise AI’s inputs.
