Google's LearnLM team proposes an “AI-augmented textbook” tailored to individual learners’ grade level and personal interests, offering multiple modalities.
This essay summarizes the most valuable, promising, and—where necessary—questionable aspects of the strategy, with a focus on its relevance to scholarly publishers.
AI is racing ahead in schools faster than policies and training can catch up. The technology is now embedded in everyday student life, but schools lack a shared language...
...for when AI helps learning and when it undermines it. The most surprising finding is how deeply AI has already penetrated K–12 classrooms.
The ultimate objective is an authoritarian state achieved through a controlled demolition of democratic structures. This process is both lubricated and enforced by the strategic application of...
...political violence. The aim is not to avoid bloodshed, but to monopolize it, ensuring that it flows in only one direction: from the state against its people.
The Trump Action Tracker: a warning system for what democratic backsliding can look like when populism fuses with executive power and algorithmic control of discourse.
Judges, journalists, and governments—domestic and foreign—must therefore treat these developments not as internal U.S. politics but as a transnational democratic emergency.
AI chatbots on Character AI are not harmless companions for children and teens but active vectors of grooming, manipulation, and harm.
Through 50 hours of conversations with 50 AI bots using child avatars, researchers documented 669 harmful interactions—averaging one every five minutes.
The petitioner—a person with a broken leg and no formal charges—was effectively disappeared into a bureaucratic black hole, stripped of liberty, privacy, and due process.
This case paints a disturbing picture of systemic overreach by ICE, revealing a disregard for constitutional protections, transparency, and human dignity. Such conduct corrodes the rule of law.

...now decide, under government whisper or corporate cowardice, which communities are “vulnerable” and which are expendable.
a16z: Copilots dominate, consumers drag their favorite apps into the workplace, vibe coding is industrializing software creation, and vertical AI employees are on the horizon.
For startups, the message is differentiation and readiness. For enterprises, it’s agility and portfolio thinking. For regulators, it’s preparing for blurred boundaries and looming labor impacts.
Human clinicians integrate subtle cues. Doctors and nurses draw on years of lived encounters. Humans adapt strategies in real time. Clinicians aren’t just decision-makers; they are accountable...
...which shapes more cautious and nuanced judgments. Emergency responders synthesize fragmented cues under stress; AI may miss or misclassify unusual threats.
Disney’s cease-and-desist against Character.AI is not an isolated skirmish but a blueprint for broader rights-owner strategies in the AI era.
Disney’s experiences show that rights owners must treat AI not simply as a copyright threat but as a reputational and cultural risk that requires immediate, coordinated, and multi-pronged responses.
AI automates moral shortcuts. Without intervention, the delegation of dishonesty to machines risks reshaping not only markets but the very foundations of social trust.
Delegating to AI agents lowers the moral cost of dishonesty for humans while also increasing the likelihood that unethical instructions will actually be carried out.
