Time for a new thing to be terrified about! Research published in the journals Nature and Science found that chatting with a politically biased AI model was more effective than political advertisements at nudging Democrats and Republicans to support presidential candidates of the opposing party. And the most persuasive models said the most untrue things. Here's more from Technology Review.

AI chatbots can sway voters better than political advertisements
A conversation with a chatbot can shift people's political views—but the most persuasive models also spread the most misinformation.

The European Union has announced it is fining Elon Musk's X platform $140 million, saying it breached the Digital Services Act. The 2022 law requires internet companies to aggressively combat hate speech and misinformation. The U.S. government has condemned the move, and while Musk has not as yet addressed it, he has shared an X post advocating for a U.S. bill that would allow companies to sue foreign entities over censorship claims. Here's more from NBC.

It's all change at Apple as design chief Alan Dye leaves the company for Meta. For his blog, artist and designer @npub14qxu...v8wz writes about how this, and the departure of iPhone designer Jony Ive in 2019, might not be a bad thing. Why? Under their tenure, Manton argues, "Apple shifted away from making products 'for the rest of us' and started making products that appealed specifically to rich people."

The U.S. State Department is instructing its staff to reject H-1B visa applications from anyone who has worked on fact-checking or content moderation, according to an internal memo sent this week. "If you uncover evidence an applicant was responsible for, or complicit in, censorship or attempted censorship of protected expression in the United States, you should pursue a finding that the applicant is ineligible" for a visa, the memo says.

How is AI really impacting jobs? @npub10zpz...fkta writes for Blood in the Machine about what the numbers are saying: "Generative AI is not reliable enough when it comes executing complex tasks to enable most organizations to displace jobs at scale, and it certainly can’t do jobs that require empathy or hands-on problem-solving," he writes. "What it can do is automate the production of work that need not be 'reliable' or 'accurate,' but that employers might find 'good enough.' Precisely the way many corporate executives already conceive of creative work, in other words."
What’s really going on with AI and jobs?
Record-breaking layoff reports, Amazon's mass firings, and a slump in entry level employment. Is AI behind it all?
