Marco Rubio, who portrays himself as a defender of "freedom of speech," reveals himself here as a laughable hypocrite of the highest order. While he accuses Europe of practicing "extraterritorial censorship"—because democratic states want to regulate hate speech, disinformation,

"If I wanted Copilot when I'm making a grocery list in Notepad, I'd… Wait a second. I'll never want an AI program looking over my shoulder in a note app, and then reporting to @Microsoft that I'm picky about my green peppers." - Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols

CBS pulling the Hunter Biden laptop story erodes trust.
A free press isn’t free if stories get shelved just because the powerful won’t talk. CBS pulling the CECOT story on Venezuelan deportees sent to El Salvador’s brutal prison erodes trust. We are losing trust that government and media serve us, not the elite.

"Seeing the Commission exclude Euractiv reinforces doubts about transparency in Brussels. The democratic debate is impoverished every time the voice of the independent press is sidelined."
@Ralph_Grabowski @EU_Commission @EuroActiv Voir la Commission exclure Euractiv renforce le doute sur la transparence à Bruxelles. Le débat démocratique s’appauvrit chaque fois que la voix de la presse indépendante est écartée.

The greatest good any journalist can aspire to, is to be banned by his subject matter. @EU_Commission bans @EuroActiv "from background briefings, off-the-record sessions during which President Leyen’s advisers seek to steer the message they’re trying to send on any issue."

AI was never going to cure all cancer, not even if it took five-to-ten years. https://t.co/KfRCi7HKPG
This paper from Harvard and MIT quietly answers the most important AI question nobody benchmarks properly: Can LLMs actually discover science, or are they just good at talking about it? The paper is called “Evaluating Large Language Models in Scientific Discovery”, and instead

Big-looking numbers! But works out to only 0.7 enquiries per student per day. "@OpenAI has sold 700K+ ChatGPT licenses to ~35 US public universities for students and faculty, who used it 14M+ times in September, beating Copilot." - @Bloomberg
