Exclusive: New Anthropic report details How Claude became an emotional support bot The research shows users grow more positive while chatting with Claude.

Anthropic just dropped new data on how folks are using Claude for emotional support.

Bots can be comforting. But they weren’t built for therapy. Thx to @miles.land &‬ Alex Sanderford from @anthropic.com & @erictopol.bsky.social for insights. In @axios.com AI+.

Google Play’s Ongoing TikTok Downloads Spur Investor Lawsuit (1) Alphabet Inc.'s leaders may have exposed it to significant legal risk by continuing to distribute TikTok through its Google Play app store, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday.

Trump reportedly plans to extend TikTok’s divest-or-ban deadline—again

Congress & SCOTUS backed the law blocking the app from Apple & Google stores


He’s once again showing contempt for checks, balances, & the rule of law

SO excited to share Clio with the world (and on Bsky before Twitter)!

Clio generates insights on AI usage patterns, in a way that keeps user data private. It has unlocked, and will continue to unlock, an immense amount of understanding about the present and future of AI use.

One central concern: It's unclear what the trust anchor is here. The page doesn't say "Miles attests that he is in Mumbai" — it says "here's an authentic photo taken in Mumbai."

Authentic photo from Mumbai according to who? God? Hardware? BBC's visual verification team?

Maybe I'm not understanding the ClickApp threat model. But is it responsible to call this an "authentic photo" taken at a particular location when that location is very easy to spoof? Feels like an exploitable shortcut to public trust.

An "authentic photo" of me in Mumbai. I was not in Mumbai.

There are lots of photo authentication systems, some more robust than others. Anyway, here is an "authentic photo" of me in Mumbai. (Don't trust everything you read from CLLocationManager!) clickapp.com/4hTRfVgqHsw8...

An investigation of social media labeling decisions preceding the 2020 U.S. election Since it is difficult to determine whether social media content moderators have assessed particular content, it is hard to evaluate the consistency of their decisions within platforms. We study a data...

What content did platforms label as misleading in the run up to the 2020 election? And were platforms consistent in their labeling decisions?

In our new paper, @shelbygrossman.bsky.social, Sam Bradshaw, and I leverage a unique dataset to answer these questions: journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

Ah yes, of course.

The context is that I want to store backup keys in a different location, and I don't want to have to go get those backup keys every time I enroll my hardware security key for a new service.

Is it possible to enroll a hardware security key "remotely" (i.e., without the key itself)? Perhaps using some kind of public key?

I'm not very familiar with the FIDO/U2F/etc specs, and a quick Google search didn't yield anything.

Really enjoyed sharing Atlos.org at RightsCon last week! Working on Atlos — and deploying it to Bellingcat — is definitely a top life experience for me.
