WordPress News: 6.3 Live Product Demo. “Want to learn more about WordPress 6.3, planned for release on August 8, 2023? Join the WordPress community for a first look at 6.3 in action during a live product demonstration.”
TWEAKS AND UPDATES
Search Engine Land: Google ranks AI-generated ‘Star Wars’ article lacking E-E-A-T. “Despite constant reminders to create helpful content and the importance of E-E-A-T (expertise, experience, authoritativeness and trustworthiness) – Google Search still finds ways to rank content in top positions that shouldn’t be there. Look no further than A Chronological List of Star Wars Movies & TV Shows, published yesterday on Gizmodo (note: it was updated today with multiple corrections).”
Ars Technica: ChatGPT users drop for the first time as people turn to uncensored chatbots. “According to data firm Similarweb, ChatGPT’s mobile and desktop traffic worldwide decreased by nearly 10 percent from May to June. Another data firm, Sensor Tower, reported that ChatGPT’s iPhone app downloads have been steadily dipping since they peaked in early June. This, the Post suggested, could be a sign that consumer interest in chatbots and other AI tools is waning as tech companies heavily invest in AI product development.”
USEFUL STUFF
WIRED: How Threads’ Privacy Policy Compares to Twitter’s (and Its Rivals’). “If you’re hesitant to share your personal data with a company on the receiving end of a billion dollar fine, that’s understandable. For those who are curious, however, here’s what we know about the service’s privacy policy, what data you hand over when you sign up, and how it compares to the data collected by other options.”
AROUND THE INTERNET WORLD
Eurogamer: Assassin’s Creed Mirage has an unlockable database for history buffs. “Assassin’s Creed Mirage will include an interactive history feature available in the game at launch, allowing you to delve deeper into the real world version of the game’s Baghdad setting. This option appears to be an alternative to the more involved Discovery Tour mode that popped up some time post-launch in Assassin’s Creed Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla.”
AFP: Netherlands to ban mobile phones from classrooms. “The Netherlands said Tuesday it will ban mobile phones from classrooms in a bid to stop tech disrupting lessons. Mobiles, tablets and smartwatches are getting in the way of students’ learning and will not be allowed in class from next year, the Dutch government said.”
SECURITY & LEGAL
Louisiana Illuminator: Trove of government records will be on new transparency website. “Gov. John Bel Edwards has signed into law a bill to create a new transparency website to give the public in-depth access to a trove of government finance records. It will cover every agency, board, commission, department, courthouse and government entity at the state and local levels.”
New York Times: China Took Her Husband. She Was Left to Uncover His Secret Cause.. “He was brilliant, quirky and intensely private — and also, she now suspects, an anonymous dissident blogger who had won fame for years of evading the surveillance state.”
RESEARCH & OPINION
Universidad Carlos III de Madrid: A European scientific project studies how to regulate AI-created disinformation. “The Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) is participating in a European research project, called SOLARIS, to analyse the political risks associated with multimedia content created using Artificial Intelligence (AI). The objective is to propose regulatory innovations in this regard from the field of Law in order to fight against fake news and disinformation created with this technology.”
Poynter: How content creators spread misinformation about immigration policies. “Before making the arduous journey from their home countries toward the U.S. in search of a better life, migrants usually resort to the internet, social media and applications like WhatsApp to inform themselves on how to reach their final destination.” Good afternoon, Internet…
