#Google is trying to #kill the #OpenWeb.
Using the proposed "Web Environment Integrity" means websites can select on which devices (browsers) they wish to be displayed, and can refuse service to other devices. It binds client side software to a website, creating a silo'd app.

This penalizes platforms on which the preferred client side software is not available.
@a a masterpiece
@migurski eventually, I think so. Need to finalize the process and materials

As many if not most of you know, I have been writing about the ethical, epistemological, and social implications of of GPT-type tools since shortly after they hit the scene, and I've been writing about those same implications in "A.I." for a lot longer than that.
Now I am proud to present my article "Bias Optimizers," wherein American Scientist Magazine gave me the space and time to talk about those all of those things, to a very wide audience. I hope you enjoy it:

granted, I do all of that work on a $500 monthly retainer because the show is the passion project of a mostly podcasts-for-brands shop so it doesn't feel like a huge part of my professional output but like, it's a good show and I'm pretty good at doing it
I like how most days I am very demoralized about media and my prospects of getting a job or selling another book or whatever but also for three years I have been the lead researcher, writer, and host of a banger podcast about capitalism and how weird and dumb it is

Last night we picked up takeout for dinner and we crossed paths with of my favorite dog and person duos on the street and the dog (a little guy named Gino) started running towards us when he recognized us and there just are few feelings more delightful than a dog being just thrilled to see you
