NEW RESOURCES
Thanks to my friend Diane R. for sending this my way: a directory of AI apps/sites. You can go through a big list, search, browse by topic, or look at recently-added resources. There are about 3100 listings here.
Jewish News of Northern California: From personal to profound, new digital archive traces queer Jewish history. “A project of the GLBT Historical Society Museum and Archives, the collection is the culmination of a yearlong effort by the archives team to identify, curate and digitize Jewish materials. The team sifted through thousands of general items related to LGBTQ regional history, donated and gathered since the nonprofit’s 1985 founding in San Francisco.”
TWEAKS AND UPDATES
US Census Bureau: Census Bureau Releases New American Community Survey Selected Population Tables and American Indian and Alaska Native Tables. “The U.S. Census Bureau today released new detailed social, economic, housing and demographic statistics for hundreds of race, tribal, Hispanic origin and ancestry populations based on the 2017-2021 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates.”
PC Magazine: AI-Generated Images of Titan Submersible Debris Hit Twitter, Facebook. “On Thursday, the US Coast Guard announced(Opens in a new window) it had found some wreckage of the Titan, with all five passengers onboard presumed dead. No official photos of the debris have been released, but that didn’t stop some people from circulating fake, AI-generated pics.”
The Verge: Google is launching its Perspectives search feed that’s designed to show results from humans. “Google’s new search feature that shows you different perspectives (ideally, human ones) in search results will be available on Friday, the company said on Twitter. The perspectives will show up in a tab called, well, ‘Perspectives.'”
AROUND THE INTERNET WORLD
Gramophone: The English Concert embarks on an ambitious project to film and release Handel’s complete works online. “Handel for All will see the composer’s entire catalogue – all 42 operas (in concert performances), 29 oratorios, well over 100 cantatas, concertos, and chamber works of all kinds – filmed by the orchestra and released online, where it will exist in perpetuity as a library and archive: freely available to everyone.”
Motherboard: AI Artist Creates Satanic Panic About Hobby Lobby. “People on social media are sharing pictures of what they think are Satanic-seeming displays from Hobby Lobby stores and vowing never to shop there again much like many people refuse to drink Bud Light or shop at Target for bigoted reasons. Aside from the fact that Americans are currently eager to boycott any company that feigns tolerance at marginalized people, there’s one big problem with these Hobby Lobby store pictures: They’re not real.”
Associated Press: Biden and Modi meet Apple, Google CEOs and other executives as Indian premier wraps state visit. “President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday joined top American and Indian executives in talks to increase cooperation between the two countries on artificial intelligence, semiconductor production and space.”
SECURITY & LEGAL
TechCrunch: Hacker responsible for 2020 Twitter breach sentenced to prison. “Joseph James O’Connor, 24, was sentenced Friday in a New York federal court to five years in prison after pleading guilty in May to four counts of computer hacking, wire fraud and cyberstalking. O’Connor also agreed to forfeit at least $794,000 to the victims of his crimes.”
Washington Post: Australia to Elon Musk: Explain how you’re dealing with hate on Twitter. “Australia has ordered Twitter to explain what it is doing to tackle online hate, saying there had been a sharp increase in ‘toxicity and hate’ since Elon Musk took over the company last year.”
Reuters: Google hit with $15 million verdict in US trial over audio patents. “Alphabet’s Google must pay patent holding company Personal Audio LLC $15.1 million for infringing two patents related to audio software, a Delaware federal jury said in a verdict made public on Wednesday.”
RESEARCH & OPINION
ZDNet: Reddit is in danger of a death spiral. “There is nothing special about Reddit except its community and the content the community created. Its software is trivial. Unless Reddit reverses course, Reddit will join Digg, MySpace, and LiveJournal in the dustbin of social network history, and a new site, such as the user-funded Beehaw, or an old one, such as Digg, will take its place.” Good morning, Internet…
