Filming federal agents in public is not a crime, nobody should be harassed or restrained for doing so, nobody should have their phone confiscated for it, and nobody should get the death penalty for it. This is supposed to be a free Republic, not an authoritarian police state.

Welcome to the Spring Semester at the The University of Texas at Austin! This semester I was asked to teach a new class, Strategic Conmunication in the Age of AI 🤖.

The Scottish government has announced a private jet tax, which will ensure the super-rich don’t get a free pass to pollute.

My 4yo is home sick today, so we watched “Harry and the Hendersons.” What a great underrated film classic. The practical effects are amazing still today.

New! We worked with the Public Interest Research Group to test a bunch of LLM-driven toys ahead of the Christmas. That sexual talking teddy bear wasn't a one-off; it turns out disturbing behavior is deeply built into these toys across the board.
AI toys for kids talk about sex and issue Chinese Communist Party talking points, tests show
New research from Public Interest Research Group and tests conducted by NBC News found that a wide range of AI toys have loose guardrails.
