Opinion | Your social media ‘addiction’ is overrated It is healthier and more accurate not to pathologize our habits.

I do think how we talk about things matters. We can frame social media problems in ways that help people feel in control while also acknowledging some people need help. And we can pass legislation that holds social media companies to standards and account.

The emerging “Claude killed the kids” frame on this story shows just how easily anti-AI counterhype can end up doing the government’s work for it. If you use a computer to choose targets—esp. but not only if you give it bad data to work with—and it chooses poorly, that‘s on you, not the computer!

Hey I did a fun thing with @warren.senate.gov about breaking up giant healthcare conglomerates

It's amazing people will claim "Canada and the USA have the same culture" and then on something as fundamental as "do you trust your fellow citizens to be good" we are further apart than any other two countries

I don’t agree these should ever be required. Voluntary statements, probably mostly good. But I have a right to personal privacy when I’m writing about my research.
