A common misperception.

Inside the Bitcoin Bust That Took Down the Web’s Biggest Child Abuse Site
They thought their payments were untraceable. They couldn’t have been more wrong. The untold story of the case that shredded the myth of Bitcoin’s anonymity.
… Janczewski had come along on this raid only as an observer, a visitor flown in from Washington, DC, to watch and advise the local Homeland Security team as it executed its warrant. But it had been Janczewski’s investigation that brought the agents here, to this average-looking house with its well-kept yard among all the average-looking houses they could have been searching, anywhere in America. He had led them there based on a strange, nascent form of evidence. Janczewski had followed the links of Bitcoin’s blockchain, pulling on that chain until it connected this ordinary home to an extraordinarily cruel place on the internet—and then connected that place to hundreds more men around the world. All complicit in the same massive network of unspeakable abuse. All now on Janczewski’s long list of targets.

NIST Releases Draft AI Risk Management Framework for Public Comment
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) issued its initial draft of the “AI Risk Management Framework” (“AI RMF”), which aims to provide voluntary, risk-based guidance on the design, development, and deployment of AI systems. NIST is seeking public comments on this draft via email, at Aiframework@nist.gov, through April 29, 2022. Feedback received on this draft will be incorporated into the second draft of the framework, which will be issued this summer or fall.

Too Much Email? Let Your Bot Answer It
As artificial intelligence continues to improve, we humans are going to have to decide what we're comfortable letting it do.
What will it be like when you have your own bot, and it is as good as or better than you at many daily tasks?
The answer may come sooner than you think. Google’s new Pathway Languages Model, which is not yet open for public testing, is the latest advance in artificial intelligence. The technical explanation is that neural networks have been scaled to 540 billion parameters for “breakthrough performance.” The practical effect is that AI is now better at engaging in natural conversation, explaining novel jokes and writing code.
Perspective. What’s obvious and what’s not.

What do we mean when we say ‘free’ public transport?
There’s a lot of attention right now on the idea of making public transport free. In the first instance, you might think it’s a no-brainer. You can ride public trains, trams, buses, and ferries at no charge. That sounds too good to be true, but they’re a reality in many parts of the world.
Over 100 cities have some form of free public transport, but there are many different models of free public transport, each with its own intention and actual impact. What do they achieve when it comes to economic, infrastructural, and environmental impact?
This is part of a series of articles on free public transport – I’m also looking at the specific realities of free public transport and climate change, and whether it serves disadvantaged communities.
Proof I do it (almost) totally wrong!
