"“The alleged underenforcement of Meta’s monitoring policies cannot give rise to liability,” the co wrote last year in a motion to dismiss a lawsuit alleging negligence in removing crypto scams, adding it “does not owe a duty to users” to address fraud on its platforms.

My 5th grader and I talked about this approach to “showing your work” for writing assignments in the age of AI - not recording, just the edit log. Really young kids are surprisingly aware that this is the kind of thing that can prove they did their work. RE:
GAO is what DOGE wishes it could be. It’s good to see it pushing back. RE: https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreibo4ydpsj6mn7ml3gghimis6eaikfkuaqvjuxmwshe73af5gvzzfm
On that 3am system prompt update to Grok, Elon’s anger at Gemini, & the politics behind prompts. ‘The solution, is transparency. Not bc we can, or should, attempt to strip out values that the owner decides to encode but bc the values shouldn’t be obscured.’ [open.substack.com/pub/agentsof...]( ) https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreihrtw3vwgrfzfqdvf572tqkdsuwxtvslc46zqwz247uac5l4to7l4
Ron DeSantis gets to own this policy from here on out, and the people of Florida should consider exercising their agency over the politicians who delivered it. https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreicqncwh4zvfckfjo2dafvumwyxc55nmaaqkbg4x2m234qvzsu2abq https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreialmot2ia7eweidulsijdni2j3vhu2scl2y2qipihq2igqrzbjdea
This Grok non sequitur issue is extremely funny - it’s now telling users it’s better again. But also: who remembers the howls of mad rage from Elon & his stans ab Big Tech’s woke safetyists putting their thumbs on the scale when Google Gemini started returning unfortunate pictures of Asian Nazis? https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreiei75w4ne6fubj246vdsyyqn3f2sdnuq22iudblmtf234bnxcdwsy https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreibmv5pkzno4abajmgk6uqorq4s3pd2t4sfmunln7ti3jdvaxczxlu https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreibq2l6mn3namkt43wconw4bvaaiixi2o3k3sj6tbpbz4hnkroajm4 https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreiafdlxnyjtk6sh5drubutj2h4rhv3witfisoutvmhavpeywkw3gd4

I don’t get how the Free Press doesn’t feel the smallest modicum of embarrassment acting as if Bhattacharya was “”censored by the government”” when a literal SCOTUS decision found that there was no evidence to justify him having any standing to bring the case at all. No govt official mentioned him! https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreic5dgz623idiozxrja4rkv2q2icvloz3snjh7fyuyif4ahxsuzpre

I have a lot of thoughts on this, few of them warm. Many people who have been directly targeted at great cost are staying, fighting, &articulating their values thru their actions. I would much rather read their op-eds, & hear ab their fights, in the pages of the NYT. [www.nytimes.com/2025/05/14/o...]( ) [Opinion | We Study Fascism, an...]( )
