RT by @MarietjeSchaake: The Trump campaign raised a record-setting $50.5 million at a fundraiser in Florida last night.

It's the most money raised from a single event in political history – the previous record was $25 million, set by the Biden campaign last month.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Google Books is full of AI-generated garbage. This is bad for a variety of reasons. One of them is that Google Books ultimately feeds into NGram Viewer, which is a tool academics use to do research on human culture and language

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: There's nothing exceptional about tech policy that makes it harder than any other type of policy requiring deep expertise. If we can do health or nuclear policy, we can do tech policy.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: AI IDing human targets in Gaza based on probabilistic stereotypes (37K people!). People familiar w/AI know how inaccurate such assessments are.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Amazon billed its "Just Walk Out" stores as some triumph of AI. In reality, it was powered by thousands of low-paid Indian workers manually adding up items in your cart as you shopped.

How insanely dystopian. https://gizmodo.com/amazon-reportedly-ditches-just-walk-out-grocery-stores-1851381116
