This angle from The Verge seemed missing from much of the other coverage www.theverge.com/policy/78370...

Apple found a new person to say “a-loo-min-ee-um”

Spotted in the neighborhood recently, whose car could this possibly be? @semafor.com @semaforben.bsky.social

Spotted in front of the Cobble Hill funeral home. I wonder who died?

The AI overview feature in Google is so shockingly bad, it’s amazing that the company has released it to users. It regularly confabulates and hallucinates results, mixing facts together, undermining confidence in Google altogether — and likely is driving people even more to other AI products.

Some of the best writing about the self-sabotaging and hypocritical acts of the current US administration come from @electrek.co and specifically @jamesondow.bsky.social electrek.co/2025/07/29/e...

A sad day for press freedom in the United States. This was a frivolous lawsuit and the payment being described as a “settlement” is more accurately labeled a payoff. Trump’s presidential library will be a permanent monument to Paramount’s surrender. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/02/b...

Nothing new here that rising authoritarianism eventually leads to a clash between the regime and oligarchy -- see Russia in the early 2000s, Khodorkovsky: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail...

After AI can do all the jobs, at least us humans will still have CAPTCHAs to keep us busy

This looks like what Apple Intelligence should have been by now: www.macstories.net/stories/sky-...

What a tool Eric Adams is for just getting free plane tickets. Next time he should’ve just asked for the whole plane.

We are live at the first-ever @hackshackers.com AI x Journalism Summit! Thanks to @therealnews.com for hosting us in Baltimore. Here’s our program for the next two days: bit.ly/hh-ai-journa...

The words “policy structure” are doing a lot of work here … “It’s impossible to commit capital to an economy that is unstable and unknowable because of policy structure.” stocks.apple.com/Ah5l2eW48RRu...

“A groundbreaking microscope at Harvard Medical School could lead to breakthroughs in cancer detection... But the scientist who developed computer scripts to read its images and unlock its full potential has been in an immigration detention center for two months” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

This is not The Onion: www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

The only certainty is that nothing is certain. The only stability is the lack of stability. The only principle is there are no principles. The only way to make sense of things is to assume nothing makes sense. We are living in the upside down world.

There's no logical or moral or strategic defense for what we're doing right now. It's an idiotic plan being implemented with a level of incompetence that has no possible explanation.

Big win for @apnews.com for standing up for the First Amendment, a lesson for many others who bend the knee apnews.com/article/trum...

National security officials … they’re clueless about tech just like your parents, clicking whatever pops up on devices without reading it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump's tariffs could increase the cost of an iPhone 16 Pro by almost $300. Who pays for it? Us or Apple? And if we moved iPhone manufacturing to the U.S.? Let’s just say… get ready for a bajillion-dollar iPhone. We broke down the bill of materials. www.wsj.com/tech/persona...

Because the last month as the worst in the markets in years wasn't enough recognition of "America's renewed strength"

I can hardly wait to be "liberated" today from my own retirement savings and investments, then pay more for everything, so that we can be "liberated" from our allies and friends across the world. The goal is clearly the opposite - to subjugate citizens and isolate the U.S.

Heart-wrenching story that shows the real suffering by people who served their country and deserve far better, victimized by the reckless chainsaw of DOGE (also see comments with replies from reporter Eli Saslow): www.nytimes.com/2025/03/30/u...

Does any actual news come from these White House briefings? Are any substantive questions answered or new information revealed? www.axios.com/2025/03/30/w...

I get it, @nytimes.com — you’re supposed to get White House comment. But how do printing these flagrant lies and repetition of the propaganda slogan serve any journalistic purpose?

Fight, deny, don’t cave to the media. Why push someone out, when by keeping them on board, they owe you even more and will stay more loyal. Looking at the current administration with old filters won’t help to explain things. Look to how authoritarian leaders act.

First the billionaires caved, and I did not speak out for I was not a billionaire. Then the universities caved, and I did not speak out because I was not a university. The law firms caved, and I did not speak out because I was not a law firm. And now there’s the rest of us. We are still many.

Just asking for a friend: Who are these random school kids in the background with Trump when he announced the dismantling of the Department of Education?

“Don’t panic, organize” by 4th Ave Yarn Collective

Excited to welcome @bsky.app COO @rose.bsky.team to the @hackshackers.com AI x Journalism House. She brought “Mundus Sine Caesaribus” stickers!

Wrapping up the day with Der Spiegel at the @hackshackers.com AI x Journalism House during SXSW. We have a full day coming up tomorrow, join us: lu.ma/aj74ayou

MAGA’s nostalgia for the past apparently includes pulling stock prices down to their previous levels as well

All-star panel @rubinafillion.nytimes.com @aimeetwoee.bsky.social & Elin Wieslander moderated by @pcheung630.bsky.social at the @hackshackers.com AI x Journalism House during SXSW

Kicking off our AI x Journalism House here during @sxsw.com at @texastribune.org with @cnti.bsky.social. Join us if you’re in Austin: lu.ma/aj74ayou

I've been an Apple fan for decades, and always get the latest iPhone. But I'm starting to feel like the delays with Apple Intelligence mean I'm falling further behind the latest technology and wondering if I should switch ... daringfireball.net/2025/03/appl...

Remembering the @apnews.com win last year at the Academy Awards for telling the story of the Russian attack on the Ukrainian city of Mariupol www.ap.org/media-center...

18F staffers- who were summarily fired en masse overnight- issue statement expressing shock, bewilderment: "18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated."

Stay strong, @apnews.com! The attempt to censor the AP Stylebook is against everything the U.S. Constitution and First Amendment are about.

Principles don’t change based on how the political winds blow. When people do make changes, they reveal what their true principles are.

🚨 Last chance for early bird pricing! The @hackshackers.com #AI x #Journalism Summit 2025 brings together leading journalists, technologists, and innovators to explore how AI is reshaping news and information.

[Early-bird tix end on Sun, Feb 15] Our 1st-ever AI x Journalism Summit is in Baltimore May 7-8. Tracks include 1) Reporting on AI 2) Using AI 3) Building with AI -- all aimed at giving reporters, editors, product managers, technologists practical skills. Tix: www.hackshackers.com/join-us-for-...

Never found myself needing to review the text of the U.S. Constitution as much as in recent days ... 😢

The US Constitution states clearly that Congress has the power “to coin money.” Why does @nytimes.com not write this, rather than hedging that it’s “unclear” if Trump has the power to stop penny production? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/09/u...

This is such massive government overreach by the UK, and also highlights why we need decentralized options: www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

“We don’t need any more irony-poisoned hot takes or cathartic, irreverent snark. We need to collectively decide what kind of world we actually do want, and what we’re willing to do to achieve it.” www.404media.co/you-cant-pos...

Musk's X playbook is being run on the U.S. government, beds in offices and all: www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

Thank you corporate leaders at CBS, Meta & ABC/Disney for making it very clear where your true principles stand (or rather … kneel) www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/b...

Amused that Tim Apple in latest earnings says iPhone sales did better in countries where Apple Intelligence is available. As if China sales would be better if they had … wait what AI features again are driving sales elsewhere? Genmoji? Notification summaries? Um, no

Phew, what a relief - I was REALLY worried about Meta’s ad spend when the fact-checking decision was announced. I’m all good now techcrunch.com/2025/01/29/m...

First, ABC News, now Meta, totally caving on lawsuits that have zero merit. There can be no "censorship" by Meta -- it's not a government and they can do whatever they want on their private platform within the law. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
