Google's defence needs to be amplified by anyone talking to politicians about 'AI' regulation:
Google is explicitly saying in their legal filing that the outputs from their LLM should not be trusted and that users should know that.
That's one hell of an admission. Imagine saying that about any other category of product.

I've been running Follow the Crypto since 2024. Today I'm relaunching it as Tech Influence Watch, expanded to cover AI political spending alongside crypto. They’ve spent more than $400 million this election cycle, and now you can follow it in close to real time.

They said 2026 marked the first year of grand-scale AI adoption in political management, the results of which will likely be visible in 2027 and beyond. “Everyone’s online, everyone has access to AI tools and if right now people are vibe coding $100 million companies, why can’t we be vibe coding political movements?” said Sudhanshu Kaushik, president and CEO of the Centre for Youth Policy.
I don't understand why the concept of economic violence isn't more mainstream. Few people seem to use it, even in academic and activist circles.
We have enough resources to give everyone a decent life. Not taking those resources to share them with everyone is a conscious choice by the state and other actors of power.
When we do austerity politics, it is a form of economic violence: common folk are asked to suffer in ways that can be extreme (and lethal) so that the rich don't have to share.
Words hold power, and labeling things correctly helps give them more meaning. Austerity is an euphemism. Economic violence is more descriptive.
