Cloudflare Wades into the Battle Over AI Consent and Compensation | TechPolicy.Press In the landscape of generative AI, infrastructure providers aren't passive conduits—they are hosts, regulators, and gatekeepers, writes Courtney C. Radsch.

In one move, Cloudflare gave publishers back something they’ve been desperately trying to reclaim in the age of AI: control, consent, and compensation. But it also reminds us that consent isn’t enough: the stewards of that consent need accountability, writes Courtney C. Radsch.

Quadratic Voting can now happen on Slack, thanks to @radxchange.bsky.social t.co/YdIJQY3tey 🙌

I genuinely liked the book a lot! Equally, it seems to me to be a beginning rather than an end, and where we particularly need more work is in figuring out how to reconcile democratic decision making with getting shit done (the politics will inevitably be messy).

The Abundance Debate We’re Not Having To shift American politics onto more productive grounds, the abundance agenda needs a broader cross-ideological debate than critics or advocates alike have allowed.

Against the backdrop of rising authoritarianism and geopolitical tensions, Good Enough Ancestor is a timely reminder of the fragility of democracy and the responsibility to tend to it for future generations.

Filmed over 10 days in the lead-up to Taiwan’s historic 2024 elections, the poetic doc threads together Tang’s reflections on her own life—overcoming bullying, a life-threatening heart condition, and gender dysphoria—with the story of Taiwan’s evolution from martial law to its most recent election.
