THE AI BUBBLE
[[link removed]]

By Justin HendrixTech Policy Press

Does today’s massive AI investment boom reflect real economic
fundamentals or an unsustainable bubble? How could a potential crash
reshape AI policy, public sentiment, and narratives about the future
that are embraced and advanced not only by Silicon Valley
billionaires, but also by politicians and governments?

KNOW WHAT THE INTERNET KNOWS ABOUT YOU
[[link removed]]

By Jack WallenZDNET

Your digital footprint is the trail of data you leave behind on the
internet, including browsing history, social media posts, and online
interactions. It can be pretty disturbing what’s out there. The list
of IP addresses and services associated with a URL you’ve visited
can be eye-opening. If you want to find out exactly what your
footprint looks like, there’s a free Python tool called
‘theHarvester’ that was created for this very thing.

CBS NEWS: ALL DERSHOWITZ, ALL THE TIME

By Stephen PragerCommon Dreams

“I think it’s about redrawing the lines of what falls in the
40-yard lines of acceptable debate and acceptable American politics
and culture,” Bari Weiss said, describing her political plans for
CBS News. She cited a debate between torture-promoter Alan Dershowitz
and NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch as an example of "the center-left and
the center-right." 

THE DATA CENTERS RESISTANCE

By Molly TaftWired

Data centers house IT infrastructure like servers, storage systems,
and networking equipment to store, process, and manage data. Miquel
Vila, a data center watchdog, says that opposition to their spread is
growing. “Before, was something that could happen,” he says.
“Now it seems that it’s very likely that when you are developing
[a data center], potentially someone is going to organize.”

AI STEREOTYPES LGBTQ+

By Aaron SpitlerGlobal Voices

Members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer+
(LGBTQ+) community have paid more attention to the downsides
associated with AI. Many problems can be traced back to the data used
to train models, which is often rife with stereotypes and
misconceptions about LGBTQ+ people. Yet AI’s “offline” impacts
can be equally alarming.

BEZOS’S NEW AI STARTUP

By Scott ClarkVKTR

Jeff Bezos steps back into an operational leadership role as co-CEO of
Project Prometheus, a new AI startup focused on building “AI for the
physical economy.” Prometheus is positioning itself as an AI
research lab focused on manufacturing, logistics, engineering and
other real-world systems. Bezos’s self-appointed return to a CEO
seat suggests he sees an untapped opportunity in industrial and
infrastructure-focused AI.

WHOSE BBC? [[link removed]]

By Des FreedmanLondon Review of Books

The BBC is embroiled in a crisis that has so far seen the resignations
of two senior executives and the threat of a billion-dollar lawsuit
from Donald Trump. The immediate trigger was a dossier of allegations
of liberal bias that was leaked to the hardcore conservative _Daily
Telegraph_.

UNIONIZING DIGITAL MEDIA
[[link removed]]

By Sarah JaffeTalking Points Memo

Truthout workers transforming their own working conditions helped
change the reputation and power of digital publications, and to shape
a generation’s thinking about labor unions. Unionization has helped
to stabilize an industry, and smoothed the landing when digital
outlets go bust. The overall momentum created a wave that shows no
sign of stopping.

THOSE PESKY DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS
[[link removed]]

By Ari PaulFAIR

Seattle voters ousted incumbent Mayor Bruce Harrell for community
organizer and democratic socialist Katie Wilson, who had the
endorsements of unions, Democratic clubs and the Stranger, the
city’s alt-weekly. Corporate media are not happy about her victory,
priorities or rhetoric.

VISUALIZING TRANS COVERAGE

By Carolina Abbott GalvãoColumbia Journalism Review

The Trans News Initiative tracks coverage of trans communities for the
benefit of journalists, media organizations, and researchers. The data
visualizes scale of coverage by representing news events as circles,
made up by dots that signify individual articles, on Montana’s drag
ban, Marjorie Taylor Greene’s transphobic tweets, Donald Trump’s
prohibition on trans military members, and many other subjects.
