Still, Douek reminded me that winning in court is often not the primary goal of letters like these. Bailey’s demands for information may turn up emails or other communications in which employees of certain companies criticize conservatives or otherwise embarrass themselves, and Bailey can use those communications to shame companies and universities publicly and demand policy changes. This is the exact playbook Rep. Jordan has been using for years now, to great success.
And so on one hand, tech platforms would be on solid ground if they resisted a plainly unconstitutional request to change the output of their chatbot’s speech. But most of them have made the calculation that it is better to quietly appease Republican elected officials than to loudly oppose them. And that’s how a request that is plainly illegal winds up being effective anyway.
The conservative pressure campaign that turned all the big tech companies into Trump appeasers is now coming for AI. It's totally unconstitutional, and might work anyway. I talked to some legal experts about it: www.platformer.news/andrew-baile...

It will definitely increase Mike Lee’s popularity. Being an asshole and being evil is a virtue to Republicans.

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them
Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.
Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:
—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.
Read it.

Promotional still of Cassian Andor in Andor season 2
#ANDOR S2 is one of the most ambitious pieces of sci-fi storytelling I’ve ever seen. It illuminates many complex aspects of repression & rebellion, while still bringing the adventure and thrills.
It also couldn’t be more timely. It’s a staggering work, brimming with power and emotion. I loved it.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
