Are you just catching up on the bonkers story about the lawyer using ChatGPT for federal court filings? This is a thread for you.

Okay, Fediverse academics. This spring, I'm teaching a class called "Gender and Technology, Gender as Technology" in Harvard's Women, Gender and Sexuality program. If you teach a related class, I'd love your syllabus, and regardless, I'd love your recommendations for work that you love that would be good for undergrads. Please boost for reach! Class description below.

To give a sense of the feel of what I want to do, potential reading/conversational pairings that I'm mulling over include "More Work for Mother" and Tiktok lifehack videos; Sophie Lewis's work on surrogacy and Emily Martin's work on the sperm and the egg; Toby Beaucamp's/ @schock work on TSA body scanning.

In case you are wondering how usage of AI and consent is going, I just was in a 12 person working group meeting where 4 people who were not there had "AI" transcription/note-taking services join without any sort of warning beforehand.

Sounds like there were lots of dudes behaving badly at Grace Hopper but I'm really struck by how unprepared the conference seems to be to make people abide by a Code of Conduct or similar. If someone is physically pushing other attendees out of the way, it's not about lying on a gender form! Kick them out! https://www.404media.co/grace-hopper-celebration-conference-anita-b-2023/

...if I were opening a "responsible AI" program at a leading tech policy organization, I would probably not hire two people straight from Meta to run it. https://cdt.org/insights/press-release-cdt-launches-new-ai-governance-lab-headed-by-leading-experts/

@Wolven the fact that the press release does not mention either of their immediate previous employment suggests to me that someone at CDT might have thoughts about how people might react.

@Wolven @jomc I think that is a reasonable reaction! I feel like I've succumbed to total fatalism, which is not a preferable outcome.

Also since this got more traction than I thought, I want to be clear that I'm not interested in shitting on the specific people who were hired - my point was to highlight the broader issue in civil society non-profits.

@mjg59 for you, I went on Westlaw on break.So first of all, as I think you know, but just for clarity, 1201 violations do not require contravention of authors rights under copyright law. They can exist even if there is no copyright issue. Courts generally take a broad view of circumvention of access controls, and so yes, I would suspect that the sixth install counts as a 1201 violation. Case law cites in next toot.

@futurebird @mhoye @pbloem if folks are interested in this story, I highly highly recommend The Charisma Machine, Morgan Ames's book about OLPC. https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262537445/the-charisma-machine/

This statement was the subject of much internal debate between @sellars and I.Namely over which version of the logo to use, and whether it should go on the top of the post or the bottom.

To be fair, it's really easy to confuse fascist_unconstitutional_demand_letter_final_send_after_agreement_v2.pdf for fascist_unconstitutional_demand_letter_final__v2.pdf. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/18/business/trump-harvard-letter-mistake.html?unlocked_article_code=1.A08.891D.Cvuyu4TDQbOn&smid=nytcore-ios-share

If you think the Markup story on crisis centers sending data to Facebook (https://themarkup.org/pixel-hunt/2023/06/13/suicide-hotlines-promise-anonymity-dozens-of-their-websites-send-sensitive-data-to-facebook) is bad, may I introduce you to how crisis lines use geolocation or cell phone information on callers to call the cops? https://www.madinamerica.com/2020/11/suicide-hotlines-trace-your-call/

My brand: the internet is bad but other things are also very bad, including things you maybe thought were good.
