I am deeply troubled by the dismissal of Dr. Carla Hayden, a trailblazing librarian and the first African American and woman to serve as Librarian of Congress. Her leadership modernized access to knowledge for all. This is a loss for intellectual freedom and public service.

Researchers run an experiment with AI bots in the r/changemyview subreddit, and Redditors are not happy-rightly so, IMO; astonishing that this study got ethics approval at all. (It got approval from the relevant university but was not authorized by Reddit mods or admins.) bgr.com/tech/researc...
