this is what will show up if you invite me to your ai & copyright law conference

Thanks to @reckless.bsky.social for having me as a guest on Decoder! We spoke about GenAI in education, how digital natives don’t exist, children must be taught how to learn well with technology, and how students’ theory of artificial minds impacts how they use GenAI youtu.be/JCLRz-tRZy0?...

Worth a listen: How AI is fueling an existential crisis in education ft. @reckless.bsky.social talking with Prof Adam Dubé at McGill University - podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/d...

I spent some time spelunking in the footnotes of the Oregon National Guard litigation and came to the horrible conclusion that we're watching the record decay in real time under the weight of a right-wing influencer circus www.theverge.com/policy/81340...

New article in The Verge about the Unfair Flips speedrunning community!! www.theverge.com/games/814111...

every time I explain to my coworkers that a social media influencer from out of town has convinced the Trump administration that the Portland police are antifa, they look at me like I've sprouted a second head www.theverge.com/policy/81340...

whispering into my ring like a fucking Nazgûl

A day after reading it, this @theverge.com piece by @sarahjeong.bsky.social still echoes in my ears. I urge everyone to read it. The endgame of the disinformation and media capture we've been enduring has arrived. Bad info needs to only influence a handful of judges to profoundly change the world.

they let me write the headlines sometimes www.theverge.com/tech/813944/...

Okay next we vote on having the Packers actually play good offense

The most powerful and famous non-football Auburn alumni is Tim Cook

Influencers have fractured reality in Portland

The Verge turned 14 over the weekend ;) Feels like we are just getting started, even though the influencers call us the "mainstream media" now lol

Only Amazon looks at the explosion of the wellness movement and responds by making it easier to buy Pepsi at Whole Foods www.wsj.com/business/ret...

With respect to @theverge.com, @reckless.bsky.social & @davidpierce.xyz, the only panel of experts qualified to "certify" AGI would be Yahweh, Allah, Brahman, Amaterasu and maybe Siddhartha Gautama to round out the five. Although swapping out any of those for Randy Jackson would also be acceptable.

Packers lose. America is doomed

Has any NFL team ever had two tied games because … sigh

Google made 100 billion this past quarter

Happy Halloween

Hello, I am a meek and largely inconsequential subscriber of The Verge, and I sponsor this message.

Really fun to have @jank0.bsky.social publishing on The Verge - and this dive into free-to-play mechanics invading Hollywood is just wild www.theverge.com/column/80525...

I think about this Walt story every day but some days a lot more than others

I have been running our story meetings all wrong and I swear to you there will be more leaks about me pitching batshit ideas starting tomorrow, Vote Patel

So @jp2e.bsky.social and I are doing a mega-mailbag Vergecast episode all about the smart home. We're recording tomorrow — any burning smart home questions we should try and answer?

This is the most bananas interview I have read in a long time www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

three companies and a timebomb walk into a bar www.theverge.com/news/808042/...

I thought this was an exceptional interview by @reckless.bsky.social with Sean Fitzpatrick, CEO of Lexis Nexis on how Ai might influence our legal systems youtu.be/g-1A72BGztA?...

This was an interview I've long wanted to hear, and the CEO of LexisNexis . . . did not seem prepared for it? Seemed as if he genuinely hadn't grappled with most of the basic questions @reckless.bsky.social put to him.

Brilliant interview

This was a really good interview

holy shit. killer interviewing. the lexis corporate comms team was quietly sending their resumes out while this was going on. that, or committing seppuku for letting that happen.

Just me getting the CEO of LexisNexis to ask his new AI research tool about birthright citizenship. Decoder! www.theverge.com/podcast/8071...

The Verge exists to print this huge cowardly stack of no-comments from huge companies which spent years pretending they would develop a wonky content authentication metadata standard only to have it come to nothing when Sora was released www.theverge.com/report/80635...

Packers win. There is hope for America

Refs calling a great game for the Steelers tonight

School shootings and measles

Just realized what the ballroom reminds me of the most

Um - Disney doing some advanced SEO? :) probably some SEOs having fun? via George Kamide

He’s designing the ballroom with AI isn’t he www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Almost half the states in the union are making the primary argument that the 14th Amendment contains by implication a number of operative words from an entirely different statute, conservative textualism is well and truly dead

Excellent pod-scoop by @reckless.bsky.social and co. here, worth a listen www.theverge.com/podcast/8033...

"our customers have driven over 700 million hands-free miles with SuperCruise without a single accident attributed to that technology. I led [Tesla] Autopilot, you can't say that about Autopilot" GM's new chief product officer firing shots!

Big Decoder today with GM CEO Mary Barra and new chief product officer Sterling Anderson, who once led autopilot at Tesla. Lots in this one, including the little scoop that GM will remove CarPlay from its next generation of gas cars as well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIr_...

Oh hell yes we’re doing this again, the dream of the 90s is alive once more www.theverge.com/news/803824/...

If Adolf Hitler Were here today They’d send the limousine anyway youtu.be/sTnijX0TH-w

Definitely feels like the plans to build a 65sqf mudroom over our existing concrete step took longer to approve than Trump’s ballroom

Jay-Z and Alicia Keys release “Empire State of Mind” 16 years ago today. “When we finished [the track],” she said, “we all wondered if it would be too ‘New York’. .. Little did we know EVERYONE would understand it because it’s not just about New York, it’s about the hope that New York represents.”

HEY. Decoder interviews are all on YouTube starting... today! Here I am with ZocDoc CEO Oliver Kharraz, who is pretty clear that they won't use AI to provide actual medical advice www.youtube.com/watch?v=Atg-...

Wild update: electricians have been here for an hour and as best they can tell… this was just an ancient surge protector coincidentally sparking and failing this way, no relation to the other circuit at all. Turn off the breakers AND don’t keep this stuff for 15 years, is the lesson

there’s a major AWS outage going on right now that’s taken down Fortnite, Alexa, Snapchat, Perplexity, Roblox, and lots more of the internet. US-EAST-1 is down and impacting a lot of services that rely on AWS www.theverge.com/news/802486/...
