What an amazing paper! Definitely complicates the idea of what it means for LLMs to “parrot” their training data.

I have a new report out w. @cendemtech.bsky.social looking at the latest in automated content moderation for the live-streaming context. Live video is hard to analyze, and - importantly - can’t be hashed and matched to existing infrastructures eg for CSAM detection. How are companies responding?

Proud of this piece with @cmorten.bsky.social and @gaben.bsky.social —thanks for the review Emily! As social media researchers face more hostility from the industry, it’s useful to look at how we’ve secured independent research against powerful industry interests before

The influencer lawsuit that could change the industry Behind the scenes of a court battle for the “clean girl” look.

New from me: Two influencers make very similar content promoting Amazon products. They dress the same. They buy the same stuff. They even have a similar tattoo.

Now one is suing the other, claiming her rival won't stop copying her. But who influenced whom? www.theverge.com/2024/11/26/2...

A lot of tech policy folks here talking about what a new administration means for AI and the internet, but are weirdly silent on what it means for 4DX movies.

Will a Carr FCC mean more seat vibration or more air blowing? Could a Trump executive order repeal the use of scents?

A tweet from @michaelxdolan that reads “When you argue that fascists should be defeated through debate what you're actually suggesting is that vulnerable minorities should have to endlessly argue for their right to exist and that at no point should the debate be considered over and won.”

This is the only tweet screenshot I have saved, because it’s such a good encapsulation of the problem with saying that facials should just be “debated “:
