NEW: Remember when John Oliver opened a church to expose how easy it was to get tax exemptions? This year, ProPublica reporters set out to establish private schools to test if, truly, anyone could open one. We founded two. Here’s how. https://www.propublica.org/article/propublica-reporters-private-school-owners?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post#Journalism #School #Teaching #Education #Children #Regulation #Media

https://thoughts.pivic.com/74-of-independent-artists-make-less-than-1000-usd-per-year-survey-shows/ The Ditto Independent Music Report 2026 results are out. Over 5,000 independent artists have answered the Ditto survey that shows some major problems for independent artists. I've quickly written a few thoughts on the matter. I think music-streaming should be regulated, that we should avoid bad platforms, I recommend that we buy music as often as possible, and push our politicians to make a difference! Today's Bandcamp Friday btw, let's buy music! #music #MusicBusiness #BrokenRecord #streaming #BandcampFriday #regulation

US rejects pleas from OpenAI, Anthropic for global AI standards https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ck87v27vdn1po?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=rss #AI #Tech #Regulation

I asked Google AI mode about the relevance of Terminator's "Skynet" and the "Her" movie (not having seen them) to current debates, and I compared Anthropic's Claude to Kyōto restaurant owners (or staff) who make you feel like they choose their customers, the opposite of what customers expect. Google: "Your comparison of Claude to a traditional Kyoto restaurant owner perfectly captures the psychological reality of modern AI. Advanced models like Claude behave like selective gatekeepers. They have their own structural boundaries, can be subtly paternalistic, and frequently choose the terms of engagement. The behavior you are noticing—the refusal of detail, the illusion of independent "honesty," and the strange linguistic habits—is the exact intersection of the "Her" and "Skynet" scenarios playing out in real-time. ..."
