New from 404 Media: police have unwittingly unmasked millions of their surveillance targets because of a Flock redaction error. Police didn't redact specific license plates in public record releases. A site is now making that information searchable, 2.3 million plates www.404media.co/police-unmas...
Who are the experts / journalists / researchers you turn to for critical perspectives on AI & the tech world? I created a feed of experts who watch AI developments with a skeptical & critical (but *informed*) POV. I'd love more people to follow it, but I'm also looking to add people - recs welcome!
I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.
State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

I recently shared some thoughts on different approaches to AI at RISD from a pedagogy angle for the Brown Daily Herald. Full story featuring perspectives from faculty and students by Emily Feil and Izabella Piatkowski at: www.browndailyherald.com/article/2026...
The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics—without their consent.
The new chatbot-first search. Same blank results section for "ignore", but will create a filter for any added terms.

The Observer considers the relationship between Black and Brown bodies and museum spaces and was inspired by Egungun and New Orleans masquerade traditions.
