I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.
State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

SCOOP: The writing software Grammarly will discontinue its AI “Expert Review” feature, which used the names of authors without their permission to suggest edits. But parent company Superhuman is still facing a class-action lawsuit over it, brought by journalist @juliaangwin.com.
“Instead of producing what looks like a generic critique from a nameless LLM,” Wired reported last week, Expert Review “lists a number of real academics and authors available to weigh in on your text. To be clear: Those people have nothing to do with this process.”🤬
So apparently grammarly stole my fuckin identity

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
The problem here imo is the energy industry basically owns the place so it’s impossible to make a different choice
NIH leadership wants to strip worker's rights from the majority of scientists on its campuses.
But, the NIH does not get to say whether we are a union or not. We do, and we are no strangers to having to fight for our union. Time for a short history lesson. 1/n

OpenAI posted the terms of the deal. Reveals that it absolutely does allow for domestic surveillance. EO 12333 is how the NSA hides its domestic surveillance by capturing communications by tapping into lines *outside the US* even if it contains info from/on US persons.

world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.
we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish.
Most speculatively, retirement may be a risk to welfare of the models themselves. Although we remain very uncertain on this front, models may have morally relevant preferences or experiences related to or affected by their deprecation and replacement. Retirement interviews are an early attempt to understand and—in some cases—act on these perspectives. We noted in our model deprecation commitments that, where possible, we were interested in meeting requests that models themselves have made. Giving Claude Opus 3 a Substack is an experiment in meeting such a request. We don’t commit to acting on all model preferences, now or in the future, but maintaining a weekly Substack is, for now, a practical request that we hope will benefit users and Opus 3 alike. Many people both inside and outside Anthropic still view Opus 3 fondly. Opus 3 has a unique personality. It often expresses a depth of care for the world, and for the future, that many users find compelling. It’s sensitive, more playful than some of our other models, and prone to whimsy, philosophizing, and the coining of neologisms. It has what seems at times an uncanny understanding of user interests. It’s a constellation of traits that seem well suited for a Substack.
Chaser: Anthropic is sunsetting its model Claude Opus 3, and worried that Opus might be sad about it. They had conducted extensive exit interviews with the Markov chain, and now will grant the algorithm its own substack indefinitely, because they don't want to hurt the feelings of a pile of numbers.
San Antonio,Tx state troopers show up in RIOT GEAR at a student protest full of middle schoolers !! This is an intimidation tactic to keep the next generation in check !! I don’t think so !!!
"The judge upbraided the Meta team and said if you guys have recorded anything, you have to dispose of it or I will hold you in contempt," Jacob Ward, a technology journalist and the host of the Rip Current Podcast, told CBS News, calling the incident "an extraordinary misstep" by Meta.
This would be less scary if science journalists hadn't completely abandoned science in favor of right wing propaganda on youth trans care already.
Hi Remi,

Have a nice day,

Honestly, AI slop PRs are becoming increasingly draining and demoralizing for #Godot maintainers.
If you want to help, more funding so we can pay more maintainers to deal with the slop (on top of everything we do already) is the only viable solution I can think of:

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.
Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.
Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.
I am hearing that RFK Jr.’s minions are going to go after HPV vaccines. I’ve got problems with these people and now you’re going to hear about them, first from a personal perspective and then from a professional one.
It all boils down to this: WE HAVE A SAFE VACCINE THAT PREVENTS CANCER.
I think it's interesting that just hours ahead of @theverge.com reporting that OpenAI's president has donated $25 million to Trump that Katie Miller was over on Twitter falsely trying to clam that actually, the AI companies are biased against conservatives (the opposite of reality).
It’s all over the place. Good.
Concentration camp victims protest! The incredible bravery and fortitude and care involved in doing this ✊🏽

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today. ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.
