If US AI lawsuits settle-- how would non-litigants make out? creators? the public? new startups? an analysis suggests an answer (spoiler alert: not well ) We saw this movie before with Authors Guild v Google, but that settlement was stopped by an uprising. Will that happen again?

A Burger King ad on Russian TV (featuring an AC/DC riff from Thunderstruck). Fun, and kind of surprising. (thx roger)

"To err is *human*" -Howard Resnicoff, Thinking Machines Corporation, maybe 1984 Colleague Howard meant it as a kind of provocative joke in mid 1980. Now that I am an AI conference in San Francisco-- I think the sarcasm has left the room.

Moment of Gratitude: CloudFlare CloudFlare saved the Internet Archive servers from a TCP Flood yesterday. The max rate of this DDOS attack was 525 Gbps (44.93 Mpps) of a "TCP flood." The Internet Archive does not have enough bandwidth to fend off that kind of attack. Thank you #cloudflare or we would have had a very bad Saturday at the @npub1umd6...wfr7 DDOS attacks are coming more frequently.

Wanted: Voigt-Kampff operator (?) I had a BladeRunner moment this week— I video interviewed a tech candidate. I was rattled —was I talking with a person? an AI? An AI assisted human? What? Aced the programming tests, including the on-the-fly ones. low bandwidth, heavy asian accent, AI'd résumé. I failed the Turing test. A subsequent engineer recorded their interview. Others sent me articles (see below). I now think this was low-end effort. maybe I was training fodder. unnerving. 1/2 image
