“This is one of the few misinformation interventions that I’ve seen at least that has worked not just across the conspiratorial spectrum but across the political spectrum.” These are encouraging results for media literacy. nytimes.com/2022/08/24/tec…

The misconception that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a ~vacuum, providing no way for sound waves to travel. A galaxy cluster has so much gas that we've picked up actual sound. Here it's amplified, and mixed with other data, to hear a black hole!

Ezra Klein goes media studies. I especially struggle with social video, its sounds emanating from devices into our public and private spaces, competing only with each other…the rest of the world can’t compete nytimes.com/2022/08/07/opi…

No one can define what "AI" means, and that's the point. "It’s a phrase that now functions in the vernacular primarily to obfuscate, alienate, and glamorize." I applaud this effort to stop giving false agency to a bunch of computers.
Georgetown Privacy@GeorgetownCPT

In our newest blog post, Emily Tucker draws on Alan Turing and James Baldwin to explain why you won't hear us say “artificial intelligence,” “AI,” or “machine learning” in our work anymore.

My toddler is appropriately entranced by the “Around the World” video. What other music vids aren’t for kids but are perfect for them? m.youtube.com/watch?v=K0HSD_…
