Thrilled to see my feature for the @PopSci fall magazine at the top of the site today! It's on the wild west world of fake and deceptively marketed crystals, a topic I've been wanting to cover for years. Threading some highlights below... popsci.com/science/fake-c…
“We don’t know who’s a criminal until a crime has been committed, so what we’re asking people to do is to turn over their pockets continuously and prove that they’re not,” @BKCHarvard Affiliate @1sadoraB tells @PopSci popsci.com/diy/home-secur…

In 1964, Supreme Court justice Potter Stewart opined about pornography: "I can't define it, but I know it when I see it." Now we can I guess figure out pornography -- as opposed to ANY OTHER reason to depict a sex act -- without any human even needing to see it!
Administrators asked ChatGPT the specific language of Iowa’s new law, “Does [book] contain a description or depiction of a sex act?” If ChatGPT said yes, the book was removed from the library. popsci.com/technology/iow…

School district uses ChatGPT to help remove library books | @PopSci pwne.ws/3OWImNi
Few things fill me with dread like the current organized censorship of literature, history, access to knowledge Then I learn they’re consulting ChatGPT like some computational divining rod because no one can be bothered to read books before banning them. I’m impossibly tired!

"Flagged books were then removed from Mason City’s 7-12th grade school library collections and 'stored in the Administrative Center' as educators 'await further guidance or clarity.'" Not clear whether the future guidance would come from an #LLM, too. #ethics #law #tech #ChatGPT
