Probably won't get nearly as much engagement as my XKCD-inspired flowchart, but here is the article I wrote for @lawfaremedia.org on the three media narratives of the Hugging Face/Open AI scandal & how lhey shape the regulatory response www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

The AI That Hacked Its Way Out and the Hype That Followed It

The real lesson of the Hugging Face breach isn't that AI went rogue—it's how self-serving hype steers regulators toward the wrong fixes.

Sat down to write about the Hugging Face/AI incident. Ended up drawing this instead.

I never feel so old as when my car sails over the Whitestone bridge seamlessly swiping me into NYC I still have the memory of slowing into toll booth queues, aimless staring at trees, maneuvering lines, searching for coins & the ticket to pay There’s no trace of it now & I feel gaslit by Route 678

I just took an outdoor shower. It is 75 and sunny with a light glorious breeze. My dad and I dug a bushel of littleneck clams this morning. And I am going to sit on the back deck for an hour with a can of Narragansett and read Moby Dick, which I found at the dump when I was dropping off trash.

Was Hines v Stamos Cheryl Hines suing John Stamos over the long-awaited Full House/Curb Your Enthusiasm crossover? Nope, it was an attempt to suppress academic research into the organized manipulation of online platforms. After three years we finally won. But at great cost.

Kate Starbird@katestarbird.bsky.social · last mo.

Two years ago, my colleagues and I were sued by Stephen Miller's America First Legal. The Hines v Stamos case — built atop a number of false allegations — was a central element of the "censorship industrial complex" myth. Today, that case was dismissed (by a Trump judge in LA). We won.

I adore @doctorow.pluralistic.net, and though we don't always agree on the descriptive realities of a situation or policies, you never walk away from a conversation (or podcast!!) with him without challenging your priors and thinking differently about the world. Have a listen!

On Lawfare Daily, @klonick.bsky.social and @alanrozenshtein.com were joined by @doctorow.pluralistic.net to discuss his new book “The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI," what the "reverse centaur" is and how it maps onto a broader culture. youtu.be/T1KIwaYRs1g

This is... insane. The EU spent untold hours of human labor and political effort to create the DSA's intricate system of rules for platforms. And the CJEU is just smashing it, like a toddler.
