The explosive diarrhea-causing cyclosporiasis outbreak has now spread to 41 states, with cases surging past 11,500. Last year, RFK ordered the CDC's Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network to stop tracking cyclosporiasis.

While we ponder if programs running on expensive toasters are conscious, mankind kills billions of bred animals every year, and actively seeks to destroy any wildlife left on this planet. So clearly, we don't give a damn about sentience in other beings. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Could AI be conscious?

Experts believe it’s at least possible. We urgently need a plan to navigate the ethical implications

Russian networks have already flooded the web with content designed to corrupt AI training data. Gerald Mako (Cambridge) writes that agentic AI makes this threat far worse — and Brussels is still playing catch-up.

Agentic AI is accelerating a shift that existing European frameworks are poorly equipped to handle, writes Gerald Mako.

In the EU, social media platforms are accountable for their addictive designs. Our investigation of Instagram and Facebook shows Meta has not adequately assessed the risks of features such as infinite scroll, auto-play, push notifications, and recommender systems.

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

This is not a 'masculinity crisis', it's a misogyny crisis. This is not a problem with 'masculinity'-- millions of men model positive masculinity every day. This is a problem of male violence. Stop calling it 'masculinity'. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Honesty hour: it was incredibly disorienting to put this chron together (mostly due to moments like "SignalGate was WHEN?!"). But perhaps the most surreal (and devastating) part is that these entries barely scratch the surface of all the data / info losses we've faced--some we may never know about.

"'It helps you read 50 papers in a month rather than 50 in a year.'" What's lost when a goal of graduate school is volume rather than careful reading? A few things. I learned to write academic papers by learning to read academic papers and attend to their structure and authors' rhetorical moves. 🧵
