Consider This from NPR - Social Media Affects Opinions, But Not the Way You Might Think

Anyone who spends time on social media has seen it — the post from someone about a current event, or issue that's dividing people — abortions, mask wearing, the election. But do those posts change minds?

Researchers have been gathering data on this question for years. They've found that social media affects opinions on these issues, but probably not the way you think.

NPR's Ari Shapiro speaks with researchers, who've studied the relationship between social media posts and opinions, and outlines their findings.

This Machine Kills - *Unlocked* – 303. Israel’s AI-Powered “Mass Assassination Factory”

We dive into a new report that details Israel’s military strategy of wiping out “power targets” and “family homes,” which is bolstered and justified by an artificial intelligence system (Habsora, or “the Gospel”) that one Israeli intelligence officer called a “mass assassination factory.” The reporting is so shocking and unreal — and the critical silence about the system, by many people whose whole beat is “AI ethics,” is noticeable. This is what the lethal risk of AI looks like in its real material actuality, not as some imaginary potential possibility. ••• ‘A mass assassination factory’: Inside Israel’s calculated bombing of Gaza https://www.972mag.com/mass-assassination-factory-israel-calculated-bombing-gaza/ ••• Obama's secret kill list – the disposition matrix https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jul/14/obama-secret-kill-list-disposition-matrix ••• On the Moral Collapse of AI Ethics https://upfromthecracks.medium.com/on-the-moral-collapse-of-ai-ethics-791cbc7df872 Subscribe to hear more analysis and commentary in our premium episodes every week! https://www.patreon.com/thismachinekills Hosted by Jathan Sadowski (www.twitter.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (www.twitter.com/bigblackjacobin).
