The biohackers subreddit banned all posts about peptides and HRT because peptide companies were spamming + manipulating the sub in order to manipulate Google AI and ChatGPT answers. Very insidious industry that is drastically changing the internet www.404media.co/companies-ar...

Scoop: I obtained a confidential presentation outlining how a major conservative think tanks plans to go after volunteer editors on Wikipedia who it says are "abusing their position" and promoting antisemitism forward.com/news/686797/...

This is a strong example of what can be done with digital comics when you're willing to push both form and content beyond what's been done before. The author, Kristen Radtke, is here on Bluesky at @kristenradtke.bsky.social. H/T @austinkleon.bsky.social for bringing it to my attention. 🙏

Millions of people are turning to AI for companionship. They are finding the experience surprisingly meaningful, unexpectedly heartbreaking, and profoundly confusing, leaving them to wonder, ‘Is this real? And does that matter?’

Hello! Over the last little bit the NYT books folks have been working with me on a new format for graphic novel reviews! Here is the first one, I hope of many. It is, in my humble opinion, pretty cool.

New from me: I wrote about how search algorithms have created a web full of content and words for Google, not humans. We made a fake lizard website to show you what has happened over 25 yrs. The visuals are beautiful. I’m so proud to work with such talented people! www.theverge.com/c/23998379/g...
