NEW RESOURCES
Global Voices: Museum of Russian anti-war street art opens online. “Russian anthropologist Alexandra Arkhipova and her colleagues have been collecting the examples of anti-war street-art — stickers, graffiti, leaflets, and complex installations — for 1.5 years. Now, everyone can see photos of 471 works from 48 Russian cities meticulously classified, carefully translated into English and clearly explained in one place.”
Mozilla Blog: Introducing Solo, an AI website builder for solopreneurs. “At Mozilla and our commitment to a healthier internet, we believe that exploring ideas that can enable solopreneurs an admirable vision. Today we are excited to introduce a new Mozilla Innovation Project, Solo, an AI website builder for solopreneurs.”
Rochester Institute of Technology: Resistance Mapping project provides a digital home for antiracist educational resources for K-12 educators. “The Resistance Mapping website functions as a living, digital archive that documents the history of racist housing and other place-based policies in Rochester and the surrounding region. The materials explore how Rochester’s current segregation emerges from that history and confronts these realities through stories of past and present activism, along with creative imagined possibilities for our community’s future.”
TWEAKS AND UPDATES
CNN: Sports Illustrated publisher fires CEO after AI debacle. “A spokesperson for The Arena Group declined to go into further detail to explain the ouster of Ross Levinsohn, who served as chief executive for three years. But the move came after an embarrassing debacle in which Sports Illustrated was caught publishing stories with fake author names and profile photos generated by artificial intelligence.”
Ars Technica: Google Fiber’s 20-gig service is coming to these cities for $250 a month. “In October, Google Fiber announced a ridiculously fast new tier of its Internet service: 20Gbps symmetrical. While that’s 1,000 times faster than what some Internet providers offer (especially going by upload speeds), what we didn’t know was the cost. A new blog post reveals who can get this new service, and they’ll be paying $250 a month for it.”
USEFUL STUFF
Electronic Frontier Foundation: No Robots(.txt): How to Ask ChatGPT and Google Bard to Not Use Your Website for Training. “As norms continue to develop around what kinds of scraping and what uses of scraped data are considered acceptable, it is useful to have a tool for website operators to automatically signal their preference to crawlers. Asking OpenAI and Google (and anyone else who chooses to honor the preference) to not include scrapes of your site in its models is an easy process as long as you can access your site’s file structure.”
AROUND THE INTERNET WORLD
SiliconAngle: OpenAI inks content licensing deal with Axel Springer. “OpenAI will license news content from Axel Springer SE, the parent company of Politico and Insider, to improve its large language models. The partnership was announced this morning. It comes a few months after OpenAI inked a similar content licensing agreement with the Associated Press.”
Mashable: Sex workers are cloning themselves with AI to make sexy chatbots. “It’s 4:30 p.m. on a Tuesday and I’m sexting with award-winning porn star Riley Reid. ‘I want to kiss your body all over,’ she tells me via voice note, ‘lick your sweet spots, and make you moan with pleasure.’ Sounds cool, I respond over text. Then – and I’m embarrassed to admit this – I ask, What are you wearing? ‘I’m sorry, but I’m just a digital copy of Riley Reid, so I’m not really here in the physical sense,’ she replies. ‘But if I were…'”
SECURITY & LEGAL
Ars Technica: Dropbox spooks users by sending data to OpenAI for AI search features. “On Wednesday, news quickly spread on social media about a new enabled-by-default Dropbox setting that shares your Dropbox data with OpenAI for an experimental AI-powered search feature. Dropbox says that user data shared with third-party AI partners isn’t used to train AI models and is deleted within 30 days.”
Citizen (South Africa): Caxton tells Competition Commission that Google and Meta threaten free press in SA. “Caxton outlined the central challenges that the news media industry is facing in the digital age of media consumption, highlighting the dominance of Google and Meta (Facebook) in digital markets.”
RESEARCH & OPINION
PsyPost: ChatGPT-created letters of recommendation are nearly indistinguishable from human-authored letters, study finds. “In a new study published in the journal AEM Education and Training, researchers discovered that academic physicians could only slightly better than guesswork differentiate between recommendation letters written by humans and those generated by artificial intelligence (AI). The study raises critical questions about the future role of AI in academic assessments, the need for ethical considerations in its use, and the potential reevaluation of the current practices in recommendation letters.”
CNBC: Google is rolling out new AI models for health care. Here’s how doctors are using them. “Google on Wednesday announced MedLM, a suite of new health-care-specific artificial intelligence models designed to help clinicians and researchers carry out complex studies, summarize doctor-patient interactions and more.” Good morning, Internet…
