Originally posted on Substack I previously posted my collection of privacy magazine covers. Here’s my collection of magazine covers involving AI, the internet, and related digital technologies. I collected more than 80 magazine covers from the 1950s to the present. I’m excited to share my collection with you. If you have any covers I’ve missed, please share […]
Here’s a bizarre dystopian Superbowl commercial where AIexa+ tries to kill Chris Hemsworth many different ways, then offers him a massage. And this is to try to convince folks that AI is good?

Here’s a cartoon on AI predictions. With Hideyuki Matsumi, I have written quite critically of the use of AI algorithmic predictions for human behavior: The Prediction Society: Algorithms and the Problems of Forecasting the Future 2025 University of Illinois Law Review (forthcoming 2025) (with Hideyuki Matsumi)
Remember back in 2023, when AI company CEOs called for AI regulation? This cartoon is based on that call and what happened thereafter. In 2023, Open AI CEO Sam Altman testified before Congress about the need for AI regulation. A group of AI company leaders encouraged AI regulation in a closed-door Senate meeting. Elon Musk […]
