Student journalism: In his 17 months as UF president, Ben Sasse more than tripled his office’s spending, directing millions in university funds into secretive consulting contracts, high-paying positions for his GOP allies. @garrettshanley @TheAlligator alligator.org/article/2024/0…

Vice put together an in-depth documentary exploring DeSantis’ time at Guantanamo Bay. Showtime suddenly shelved the documentary one day after DeSantis declared for president. trib.al/jqqWtmy

What. The. Hell. Tax filing websites have been secretly sending your financial information to Facebook and Google when you file your taxes online. The data includes income, filing status, refund amount, and the names of your kids. This should be a national scandal.

Justice Alito accepted tens of thousands of dollars in lavish vacation gifts from a billionaire who lobbied to cancel the student loan forgiveness. After the gifts, Alito voted to overturn. This SCOTUS’ corruption undercuts its own legitimacy by putting its rulings up for sale.

THREAD: I started reporting on this story more than a month ago, maybe a week after Gov. Ron DeSantis signed SB 1718 on May 10. I heard immigrant workers were leaving the state out of fear of the new law, so @alicia_c_devine and I drove around the Florida Panhandle to ask around

I'm quoted in this article explaining why AI robots couldn't replace human actors with real emotions (specifically, Robbie Coltrane as Hagrid) archive.is/fROQ8 Except, I never said any of it. The whole website - discovered by @futurism - is AI generated clickbait

Crowdsourced is becoming AI-sourced
One of our key sources of human data is no longer fully “human"! We estimate that 33-46% of crowd workers on MTurk used large language models (LLMs) in a text production task - which may increase as ChatGPT and the like become more popular and powerful. arxiv.org/abs/2306.07899
