Law Professor and Journalist • Online speech & governance, cogsci & AI

This is a very cute clip, but I love it for reasons that the episode doesn't explore: *All networked technology comes down to chat* Talking to each other is either the base of etworked technology or becomes inexorably tied up with it-- since early Internet days 1/
Some NPR podcasts started getting mysterious comments on Spotify. They made no sense to the staff reading them – until someone from a younger generation cracked the code. Hear the story: link.podtrac.com/phns92ui

And it's also no coincidence that the part of the HuggingFace hacking incident that freaked everyone out the most was. . . that the AI had learned to chat _with each other_. BUT IN SOME WAYS THIS WAS THE MOST PREDICTABLE OUTCOME! 8/

The lesson here is we can lock up the internet behind all the parental controls, face-scanning age assurance, and AI training sandboxes we want. But chat will find a way. 9/9

Really cogent, smart analysis of the most realistic threats to the midterms. @RickPildes is one of my Go Tos on all things law + elections and this is why.
How Worried Should We Be About Threats to the Midterm Elections? See this New York Times "Interesting Times" podcast/interview I did that's out today with Sarah Isgur, @whignewtons. We address the range of concerns many have about about potential issues that might disrupt the normal election process. @DavidAFrench @davidfrum @jawillick @CassSunstein @FareedZakaria nytimes.com/2026/09/24/opini…

Um is this journalist Rita Skeeter
Talking with journalists is cool because you have to make sure you never say anything that could be twisted or taken out of context. But if you take a couple seconds to think about a question, they can just write about you as if you're the most awkward person alive

Invisible decisions made by AI companies, like which sources are used and maintained, are having an increasing impact on our information flows. @Klonick and @NoUpside explain how this invisible source skew happens and its impact on the information ecosystem.

Go to Paris. Go to a clothing-boutique-café that also has locations in New York and LA. Order a matcha that's indistinguishable from what you drink every day back home. Fuck it, order two. Post about it like you just discovered a hole in the wall hidden gem in Sarajevo or Shibuya
I think we’ve all been sleeping on Paris what a city

Yeah ok but if Hurricane Dolly takes out Mar-a-Lago we really do need to make her a saint right?
Tropical Storm Dolly has formed in the Atlantic. The National Hurricane Center notes this was not done to honor Dolly Parton: "The timing of the use of the name Dolly for this storm is purely coincidental...The name Dolly replaced Diana after the 1990 hurricane season."

On Lawfare Daily, former CIA officer Julia Curlee sat down with Benjamin Wittes to talk about the purge of the NSC in the first 70 days of Trump’s second presidency and her experience being trans in an administration that badly needed her expertise but didn’t let her use the bathroom.

Yesterday, @Klonick sat down with @noUpside on a Substack Live to discuss DiResta and Ronald Robertson's recent article, which found that Grokipedia hasn't updated any articles since April 24 — and why that matters.
