Data centers are more likely to be found near Black communities, exposing them to more pollution. That’s not a coincidence. It’s evidence of systemic racism

Hot take, but influencers have literally ruined everything. Music festivals, vacation destinations, the whole of social media, stores…literally everything.

I told my students last week that by giving over their critical thinking and other knowledge skills to generative AI, they are willingly turning themselves into slaves; as Frederick Dougalss wrote, "I found that to make a contented slave, it is necessary to make a thoughtless one. It is necessary to darken his moral and mental vision, and, as far as possible, annihilate the power of reasons."

I’m so used to US politicians pretending to be powerless that this feels like a headline from another universe

The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying.
This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you.
In the US Senate, I’ve got a plan to ban it.

please get a library card even if you won’t use it because cities will look at library statistics and use that to decide to keep libraries open and properly funded

I tested something I'd written myself: my first academic article, published 45 years ago. It came in at 77% AI-generated.
Prof. Devi Sridhar@devisridhar
Exact same issue for me- I know my previous books and articles have been used to train AI (looking at you anthropic)- & when I run previous articles (written pre-AI) into AI checkers, they can come back as high as 90% AI. It's not artificial intelligence- it's collective human intelligence.
