Bizarre Dystopian Superbowl AI Commercial
Here’s a bizarre dystopian Superbowl commercial where AIexa+ tries to kill Chris Hemsworth many different ways, then offers him a massage. And this is to try to convince folks that AI is good? I thought it was a promo for a Black Mirror episode.

My Warning from the Past Remembered
It’s gratifying to see a Chronicle of Higher Education editor recall a piece I wrote there 15 years ago — though I wish the remembrance was for less ominous reason. He concludes: “It appears that the moment he warned us about has arrived.”
My Chronicle of Higher Ed piece is based on my article, “I’ve Got Nothing to Hide” and Other Misunderstandings of Privacy (free download).
I also wrote a book about the topic, NOTHING TO HIDE: THE FALSE TRADEOFF BETWEEN PRIVACY AND SECURITY – I posted the entire book free online on SSRN.

Cartoon: Cookie Apocalypse
My cartoon about cookies. Privacy law has waged war against the cookie, resulting in endless cookie banners which make a mockery of privacy. Many are dark patterns. Few achieve any purpose other than to annoy users.
For more on my views about how privacy consent is broken, see my article, Murky Consent: An Approach to the Fictions of Consent in Privacy Law, 104 B.U. L. Rev. 593 (2024).
