Oh, hey, that's my article.
The U.S. government just banned five people from entering the country because it doesn’t like their speech. This ban, according to the State Department, is necessary to protect free speech.
If that sounds insane to you, congratulations on your reading comprehension.

I hate how much of the media business model these days has become "annoy readers until they pay." Paywalls, registration walls, see half the article before you need to subscribe, pop up reminders, etc.
I'm hoping @techdirt.com can prove there's a better way.
But it needs your support to prove it.

It’s pretty wild that the most rabidly anti-immigrant administration in recent memory is comprised of a President married to an immigrant, a VP married to the daughter of immigrants, an assistant AG in charge of Civil Rights who’s an immigrant (Dhillon), & it was all funded by an immigrant (Musk).

They don’t want a historical record.
They don’t want the world to know.
That’s why we have to keep filming. Keep speaking out.

Today I was reminded of a far right conspiracy monger/tax resister named Tupper Saussy III who ghost wrote James Earl Ray’s autobiography and thought Dick Cheney and the Pope were behind 9/11. He also recorded these albums. Today’s MAGA crop can’t hold a candle to this guy.

This would be an incredible comedy premise though. A friend group realizes that one of them has been using the others for market research for a decade and they were all carefully selected/guided to be representative norms.

Two years ago, a lot of people, myself included, were really smug about the idea of model collapse—that the models would start getting stupider because they would be trained on their own outputs. But this was just moralizing about reality—believing that God would topple our Tower of Babel.
Academics literally cannot make Gen AI go away. As in it is not possible to make it happen on a political, legal, and technical level. We do not and will not command the massive violence necessary to make chatGPT or Claude disappear. Responsible pedagogy grapples with the fact!
No one says to legit business owners, "hey I see there's an underground market selling toxic knock-offs of your product: how will you incorporate the toxic product AND protect your customers against its harms?" But apparently it's fine to make this suggestion to educators with respect to AI.
