NEW RESOURCES

TWEAKS AND UPDATES
WIRED: CNET Published AI-Generated Stories. Then Its Staff Pushed Back. “IN NOVEMBER, VENERABLE tech outlet CNET began publishing articles generated by artificial intelligence, on topics such as personal finance, that proved to be riddled with errors. Today the human members of its editorial staff have unionized, calling on their bosses to provide better conditions for workers and more transparency and accountability around the use of AI.”
Ars Technica: Google’s new “inactive account” policy won’t delete years of YouTube videos. “A day later, Google now says there will be no digital burning of Alexandria.

The Scotsman: Google testing ad blocker ban on video streaming platform YouTube. “Google has revealed that it is experimenting with a new feature to try and thwart YouTube users who use ad blockers.

WIRED: ChatGPT Scams Are Infiltrating the App Store and Google Play. “There are paid versions of OpenAI’s GPT and ChatGPT for regular users and developers, but anyone can try the AI chatbot for free on the company’s website. The scam apps take advantage of people who have heard about this new technology—and perhaps the frenzy of people clamoring to use it—but don’t have much additional context for how to try it themselves.” Good afternoon, Internet…
