Voice AI in vogue: Nvidia releases new open transcription model

Just scored a small, but meaningful local win against the spread of AI. It takes sweat and we're used to losing and they know all the right words and rhetoric to create enough friction that it feels futile. But it matters and it's possible. The water can be clean again. 🌊

An AI that pieces together smashed stone tools, pots and bones. NYU and Tübingen will feed it at least 100,000 broken objects. Would you trust its fixes? #archaeology #StoneAge #Prehistory Photo: Kleon3, CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons 🏺

involuntary changes AI is imposing on daily life. While AI is not literally forcing citizens into physical bondage, agrowing consensus of experts and public polls highlight that AI is creating severe dependencies, economic displacements, and behavioral manipulations that threaten individual freedom.

Gemini says it's a political metaphor "to describe Donald Trump's overpowering gravitational pull on local elections." A state Supreme Court race is a prime example, writes columnist Danny Westneat.

Hi Bluesky 👋 We're Loomwise, a small shop building simple, private tools. First up is ThreadVault, which exports your AI chats in bulk, so your best research doesn't stay stuck inside one app.

For some students, generative AI is the ideal private tutor: available day and night, never irritated, and always willing to explain a difficult concept. But handing over the hard thinking also comes with risks.

Canada launched a Children’s Privacy Code. Organizations must seek consent, turn off location and data sharing by default, and stop profiling kids for ads or AI decisions. Kids get ways to correct or delete their data. Public can provide comments by January 20, 2027.

Did anybody else leave every META owned apps and moved here ? 😭 I left Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram to go here- I'm safe now from creepy surveillance and the weird generative ai watching and copying my shit- Lowkey can someone tell me if the art app "Cara" is better than Tumblr??? #antiai

Since retaking office, Trump has expanded the federal government’s arsenal of creepy surveillance tools en route to building what appears to be an unprecedented spy machine that can track Americans www.ms.now/opinion/fisa...

The over abundance of surveillance cameras is already leading to an increase in wrongful investigations and prosecutions. This is true for traffic cameras (like flock) and AI matching surveillance photos to databases. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/ment...

I’m waiting for what passes to be MSM to put this all together. Meta, X, AI, to a lesser extent Amazon, have negatively impacted our democracies, our ability to disseminate information, and our freedom to think. At some point this has to be regulated or …..

Everyone is clowning on this dude's attempts to play victim, but can we pause that for a moment maybe and just... admit the fact that he's using AI as his personal mass-surveillance tool and how nonchalant he is about that fact. Yeah, I will just tell my AI agent to case you. No biggie.

This government is all in on AI. I am confident that not a single member of the Cabinet is au fait with the issues, or even intellectually capable of it; they simply have made an ideological choice and intend to pay for tax cuts for the rich with jobs and control of New Zealanders' private data.
