  1. #SXSW Used AI-Powered #Trademark Tool To #Censor #Dissent on #Instagram

    An AI-powered tool designed to target trademark violations on social media was used to silence critics of SXSW, the massive annual tech, music and film conference in #Austin , #Texas.

  2. Some bot-on-bot action here:

    “It’s an AI system that mass reports these accounts, and then, you know, probably an AI system at Instagram that just sorts through, and approves or rejects.”

  3. This is pretty wild. My kids will never let me live it down that we didn't make the trip from 🇨🇦 down to Austin for the launch event of the #Rivian #R2 at #SXSW (but mainly for them to meet Mark Rober 😅)

  9. SXWSlondon posted and article on #enshittification and how the internet seems broken: submissions.sxswlondon.com/hub

    I hope they'll also shine a light on Ghost instead of nazibar #Substack during the event?

    Featuring @j12t and @Gargron

    Hope to welcome #SXSW and Hannah Ewens to the #Fediverse soon 😉

  10. “In [2023], we thought things were bad: we were having conversations around safety for our children. This is another level that we haven’t ever seen before.”

    Last week from Kit @oconnell: Fathers gather together to protect their #trans and nonbinary kids from the culture wars in this doc that premiered at #SXSW. texasobserver.org/fathers-tran

  11. Despite the darkness looming, much of "The Dads" feels heartwarming as we see how deeply devoted these fathers are to their kids. In between hikes, the men gather to talk about how to protect them from the culture wars, but also about how proud they are. texasobserver.org/fathers-tran

  12. “We just want what everyone else has, which is just regular, mundane lives, and so what I want everyone to do is to stop allowing the people that have made the lives of gender-expansive people miserable … to have the power that they have over us.” texasobserver.org/fathers-tran

    #politics #USpol #documentary #trans #transgender #nonbinary #SXSW #Texas

  13. Over the course of filming two documentaries about the fathers of #transgender and nonbinary children, Luchina Fisher has watched these families’ rights rapidly erode.

    “In [2023], we thought things were bad: we were having conversations around safety for our children,” she told the @TexasObserver “This is another level that we haven’t ever seen before.”

    Fisher’s latest documentary, The Dads, which premiered in #Austin at this year’s #SXSW film festival, follows over a dozen fathers on a series of camping trips together where they bond over their shared hopes and fears for their gender-diverse children.

  15. Versucht Trump, die #Midterms auszusetzen? „Ich schließe nichts aus“ – dieser Satz der Stadträtin Vanessa Fuentes wiegt schwerer als jede Prognose. @tknuewer macht deutlich: Die Debatte hat sich verschoben, von stabilen Institutionen hin zu Szenarien des Ausnahmezustands. Demokratie wird plötzlich als etwas gedacht, das ausgesetzt werden könnte.

  17. Weekly output: Most Innovative Companies, Serve Robotics, Android 17, United Airlines’ ambitions, Polymarket’s pop-up bar

    CHICAGO–This is one of my favorite cities in the U.S., but it doesn’t show up in my work travel as often as I’d like. So I’m delighted that the Online News Association decided to move its annual conference from late summer to early spring and then stage this year’s event here–in a hotel that should be familiar to everybody who’s seen The Fugitive.

    Patreon readers got a bonus post that I’d meant to have written weeks earlier: a recap of MWC Barcelona in which I also gave away a global eSIM to the first reader to ask for it.

    3/24/2026: The most innovative robotics and engineering companies of 2026, Fast Company

    This list, the product of months of research and editorial back-and-forth, finally emerged online this week. And then we had to run a quick correction after one of the companies honored said that we’d mentioned an achievement that they did not want disclosed.

    3/25/2026: Delivery Robots Have a Mapping Problem, PCMag

    I sat down in a hotel lobby in Austin during SXSW with MJ Burk Chun, co-founder and vice president of product and design at Serve Robotics, to talk about the issues that company is working to address as it tries to scale up having four-wheeled robots cart food deliveries to customers.

    3/27/2026: Google Ships Latest Android 17 Beta. Here’s What’s New, PCMag

    In between having so many longer stories to write, I was happy to get one that I could bang out in an hour or so.

    3/28/2026: United’s New Upgrades Aim to Keep You Online and Fully Charged at 35,000 Feet, PCMag

    My week started with me flying to another one of United’s hubs–with the airline covering my airfare and lodging–for its United Elevated event at LAX. In addition to looping me into UA’s ambitions for its onboard product, this event doubled as a reunion with some of the avgeek journalists I met at Cranky Dorkfest in September and with my former Washington Post colleague Lori Aratani, who interviewed United CEO Scott Kirby onstage Tuesday morning.

    3/29/2026: Pints meet prop bets: Polymarket’s “Situation Room” pop-up bar in DC, Ars Technica

    I thought I saw an opportunity to write for this occasional client for the first time since the summer of 2023; fortunately, my editor then and now agreed.
