It’s a loss for humanity as a whole that we are losing cultural critics with keen eyes and sharp wits, then getting nothing in return but AI slop and influencers who ask Pedro Pascal what it’s like to be the Internet’s daddy

Every day an ostensibly serious person describes how they use ChatGPT—to write pretty passages, to rattle off fun hallucinated historical slop to them in the car—and it really is as though they’ve voluntarily hung a big, public sign around their neck that says: “I’m illiterate.”

After months of digging and reporting, I have learned where Facebook's bizarre AI spam (like "Shrimp Jesus") comes from, who is making it, how it works, and how it is monetized. Turns out Meta is directly paying people to spam FB with this stuff 404media.co/where-facebook…

We can't joke or snark our way out of what's happening now or what comes next. Organize your friends, coworkers, neighbors — look out for them. Take care of one another. Less time online. More time building and cultivating communities of care.

A nice write up of our new Pennsylvania Broadband Research (PBR) Institute. Through research and critical analysis, we're hoping to shine a bright light on the absurdities and digital inequities of our broadband services in PA and beyond. asc.upenn.edu/news-events/ne… @MIC_Center
