Bill Esterson, Chair of HoC Energy Security and Net Zero Committee, calls Ofgem’s proposal to reduce record levels of consumer energy debt that have more than doubled since 2022 “completely inadequate”, saying the cost crisis demands “out of the box thinking” from Government and Ofgem to ensure that “parts of the sector that are making healthy profits become part of the solution to dealing with the high cost of energy”.

We need to stop the endless reporting of whatever claims cybercriminal threat actors make on their leak sites because, in many (most?) cases, they are untrue, and yet so many outlets report them anyway.
In this case, HSBC denies the breach, and yet that doesn't stop folks from writing "news" reports about it. These outlets are taking the frequently false word of cybercriminals at face value and clogging up my news feeds.
At a time when the majority of Americans distrust big tech
and believe artificial intelligence will harm society,
Silicon Valley has built its own network of alternative media
where CEOs, founders and investors
are the unchallenged and beloved stars.
What was once the province of a few fawning podcasters
has grown into a fully fledged ecosystem of publications and shows
supported by some of the tech industry’s most powerful.
This whole thing reads like a puff piece for that "AI detector" startup, but this quote by an researcher got me:
«Everyone in the community is aware that we are in a regime where all of us are doing significantly more volunteer work than we used to.»
I bet large part of that increase in work is due to "AI"-generated slop and not only due to a genuine, human increase in publications, but somehow that part of seems not discussed. Wonder why 😅

A proud achievement of my half-century IT career happened in 1996 consulting to the #UNDP toward the first published edition of the Humanity Development Library.
It seemed easy enough: "It can be fairly estimated that 1/3, or about 20 million pages of UN, and as much University and NGO material are very useful. Those 20 million pages useful UN publications probably contain about 50% of solutions for major World problems. This information must be released in digital format for non-profit redistribution in all countries."
also portable and accessible to all platforms, everywhere.
Happily, not only did the project live on, but thanks to @… our once-intractable problem of global delivery is now globally solved!
So, whether or not this is timely, I don't know, but should you need to suddenly rebuild some semblance of civilization from scratch…

I've said this before, but all these publications that write news stories about what ransomware and other threat actors claim on their leak sites are a scourge on cybersecurity reporting. They are posting false brags and playing right into threat actors' hands. They should be ashamed.
This is genuinely terrifying. Google Scholar is pushing "AI Powered Scholar Search."
What's scariest about this is that it will almost certainly turn up results that feel *right* -- they'll mention relevant topics and let a researcher craft a perfectly unassailable reference list.
But what it will prevent the researcher from doing is the actual research of finding relevant publications: discovering connections, framing questions, identifying contrasts…

Day 8 (a bit late): Timnit Gebru
Academic authors are authors too, and there are a bunch of people I deeply respect both in my fields and adjacent.
Gebru is someone I have huge respect for because she stood up for her (mild, completely reasonable) principles to the point of losing her job on Google's AI ethics team (since disbanded entirely), and then went ahead and founded an independent research institute to continue doing AI ethics research.
Why was she fired? Because she insisted on publishing her "Stochastic Parrots" paper after it passed Google internal review only to have extra nonstandard scrutiny applied at the last minute. Why did Google want to suppress her paper (which included an academic co-author)? Because it expressed valid criticisms of the large language models fad, and Google was planning to make money off that fad. Personally, I don't think I'd hire an "AI ethics" team only to then try to suppress their publications, and Google seems to now agree, having scrapped the team (during the initial furor, Timnit's boss also effectively quit to support her).
That "Stochastic Parrots" paper? Indeed, it predicts the core underlying problems with large language models that lead to so many of their user-side harms today. You can read it here: #20AuthorsNoMen

Not only has Google search destroyed itself with its hideous AI summaries, but for whatever reason, it is ranking the cruddiest infosec and cybersecurity publications pretty high in its results.
These are publications that push out fairly substandard content quickly, often AI-generated summaries. The good stuff, which usually takes a bit longer, doesn't seem to rate.
