There's an easy way to check whether news are trustworthy: are you getting them from a propaganda rag (WaPo, NYT), or from the paper of record (Teen Vogue)?
A large majority of U.S. adults now get news digitally, but nondigital news consumers are less likely to say they extremely often or often encounter inaccurate news.

Read more on Americans’ views of information accuracy and distinguishing truth from fiction:
Many Americans say they often come across inaccurate news – and have a hard time knowing what’s true
Those who report often encountering inaccurate news are more likely than those who rarely or never do to say it’s hard to know what is true (59% vs. 31%).

One of the neat* things about adding +companyName every time you sign up for something, is that you can tell when @adobe.com sells your info to recruiters.

You should read the whole piece from @edzitron.com but if you only read one paragraph, make it this one: OpenAI has burned so much money that there is no more money.
Read that again: it's not just OpenAI that's broke. All of VC is broke.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.
They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

Wow this scene is so suspenseful! When will something happen?
Ok maybe too suspenseful?
Oh I sat on the remote and paused it and I’ve been watching a still frame for two straight minutes.

"This tech isn't going away!" "This is inevitable!" "Adapt or get left in the dust!" are all things we're being told by the same people who were telling us you're going to need a blockchain dingus to unlock your front door two years ago.

Talking to myself in my office:
WHY DO I HAVE SO MANY OLD LAPTOPS
I guess I can pull the drives out and then recycle them
But ... what if I wanted to install Linux on them or take the screens off for a project
*Heaps them back into the laptop pile*
Repeat every year. Never install Linux.

If you’re curious how much power genAI models take to run, I invite you to try running one locally. On your best gaming PC.
It’s not going to go well.
