You can LISTEN LIVE *NOW* to the US #SupremeCourt oral arguments about #GonzalezVsGoogle and #Section230 at either:
C-SPAN: https://www.c-span.org/video/?525323-1/gonzalez-v-google-oral-argument
Supreme Court: https://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/live.aspx
There are no cameras in the courtroom, so it's only live audio. The only advantage of C-SPAN is that they are showing names and images of *who* is speaking.

This week could be a pivotal week for the future of the #Internet. The US Supreme Court will be hearing oral arguments in #GonzalezVsGoogle. Will they uphold the liability protections of #Section230 for website operators? Or will they change the definitions?

For a while now, I've been thinking about why some media accounts on #Mastodon grow rapidly and some don't really. The majority of them are filled automatically, so where's the decisive difference?
It looks like I haven't seen the forest for the trees: By far the most helpful thing seems to be a linking to the account on Mastodon on the Twitter profile. So #Fedifinder and #Debirdify etc. can and as it seems very often do find it. At least until Twitter makes that impossible.
Linking to Mastodon on the own homepage on the other hand doesn't seem to do much.
My small sample suggests that media that link to their Mastodon account on Twitter did accumulate at least 6% of their follower-count, sometimes significantly more than 10%. Without this link, I found a maximum of under 4%.
But there are two notable exceptions. @[email protected] until today did not publicize its Mastodon-handle on Twitter, but has reached 17%, whereas the austrian @[email protected] has the link (and its own instance), but stands at less than 1%.
I think @[email protected] is growing because of the target audience and the fact, that we're from Germany (where #Mastodon is from) – apart from our content of course. I would hope, that our engagement helped too. But I have no explanation for the case of Der Standard. Maybe someone has an idea. And I certainly would like to see other examples.
Here are the numbers (left Mastodon-Followers, right the ones on Twitter):
Link on Twitter and Homepage:
@[email protected] 11k vs. 51k (21%)
@[email protected] 11k vs. 74k (14%)
@[email protected] 44k vs. 700k (6%)
Link on Twitter, but not on Homepage:
@[email protected] 64k vs. 912k (7%)
@[email protected] 3k vs. 370k (0,8)
No Link on Twitter, but on the Homepage
@[email protected] 6.5k vs. 430k (1,5%)
No Link on Twitter or Homepage:
@[email protected] 44k vs. 246k (17%)
@[email protected] 6k vs. 166k (3,6%)
@[email protected] 1.5k vs. 146k (1%)

qwant news | Interviews with Sam Altman and 100+ people on if he can be trusted amid allegations of persistent lying and more: some defend him, others call him a sociopath
The New Yorker’s extensive investigation—built on more than 100 interviews and a cache of never‑before‑released internal memos—asks whether Sam Altman can be trusted after a series of allegations that he habitually lies and misleads. The piece presents a stark divide: some former collaborators defend Altman, while many others describe him as a sociopath who routinely distorts the truth, inflates user statistics and makes misleading financial disclosures. By weaving together fresh reporting with tightly guarded documents, the article shines a light on persistent doubts about the head of OpenAI.
Among the most damning findings are repeated accounts of Altman’s “consistent lies” and “misleading disclosures,” ranging from exaggerated active‑user numbers to questionable financial practices. Critics point to a pattern of behavior that includes withholding key information from investors and staff, as well as a reputation for breaking promises. Yet the investigation also notes the unusual loyalty of the OpenAI team—most of whom left after Altman’s 2023 firing and later rallied for his return—suggesting a complex dynamic where charisma and vision sometimes mask deeper ethical concerns.
The story has reverberated across the tech press, prompting commentary from Tech Brew, Business Insider, Bloomberg, The Verge and Marcus on AI, while also intersecting with broader industry turmoil: OpenAI’s CFO has voiced doubts about the company’s IPO readiness, and the firm has unveiled sweeping policy proposals for a superintelligence‑driven future. Together, these threads underscore an ongoing debate about leadership, accountability and the governance of powerful AI systems.

qwant news | Sam Altman says OpenAI is resetting Codex usage limits “to celebrate 3M weekly codex users” and will reset them for every 1M new users until it reaches 10M
Anthropic unveiled “Project Glasswing,” a new cybersecurity effort that gives a select group of partners early, controlled access to its unreleased Claude Mythos Preview model. The frontier‑class AI is designed to locate software vulnerabilities more effectively than even the most skilled human researchers, reportedly finding thousands of high‑severity bugs—including zero‑day flaws in every major operating system and web browser. Anthropic chose to restrict the model’s release because it believes the technology is powerful enough to be weaponized if made publicly available.
The initiative assembles a multi‑vendor coalition that includes Amazon Web Services, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Palo Alto Networks, JPMorgan Chase, the Linux Foundation and others. Together, these companies will use Mythos Preview to scan critical codebases, assist open‑source maintainers, and develop safeguards that can block the model’s most dangerous outputs. Anthropic is also pledging up to $100 million in usage credits and additional funding for open‑source security projects to help offset the resource demands of the effort.
Anthropic’s leadership frames Project Glasswing as a “first step” toward a broader, industry‑wide response to the emerging AI‑driven cyber threat landscape. By giving trusted defenders a head start on patching vulnerabilities, the company hopes to prevent the rapid proliferation of AI‑generated exploits while buying time to devise longer‑term safety and governance mechanisms. Executives acknowledge the high stakes: if the model is mishandled, it could give a private entity unprecedented zero‑day knowledge across the software ecosystem, making coordinated governance and transparency essential to avoid a potential security “shakedown.”
