    Parsing the fallout from the AI board split, try our paper! We argue that AI involves competing, but reenforcing, governmental projects, one existential, the other mundane. That latter seems to be winning, neither seems great.

    Finding fake AI generated on Amazon is surprisingly fun and easy. After @verge coverage (https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/12/24036156/openai-policy-amazon-ai-listings) I found examples (https://www.amazon.ca/s?k=cannot+fulfill+this+request&amp;amp;crid=34D2L1IC2F566&amp;amp;sprefix=cannot+fulfill+this+request+%2Caps%2C50&amp;amp;ref=nb_sb_noss) but Amazon is quick to ban the search terms!

    Excited to have co-authored a major piece of the #ShapingAI project. Our piece, Freezing out: Legacy media&amp;#39;s shaping of AI as a cold controversy, that I think is a reflection on the dynamics that have made AI&amp;#39;s controversiality uncontroversial in Canada. Read it here: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/20539517231219242 And please share. Thanks to Guillaume Dandurand and Jonathan Roberge too for co-writing! cc @cka @NoortjeMarres
