@TFTC21 I think we need these weirdos to verify they’re human

World, Sam Altman's digital identity project, just unveiled World ID 4.0, what the company calls "full-stack proof of human" infrastructure. The partner list: Tinder, Zoom, DocuSign, Shopify, Okta, AWS, and Vercel. Altman opened by saying we're heading to a world where AI generates more content than humans. Pantera Capital says we've already crossed that threshold. World's answer is an iris-scanning device called the Orb that creates a unique cryptographic ID proving you're a real person. 18 million people across 160 countries have already verified. Tinder is rolling out "verified human" badges in the U.S. after a Japan pilot. Zoom built a feature called "Deep Face" that verifies the person on a video call isn't a deepfake. DocuSign is adding proof-of-human checks to digital signatures. Shopify is enabling verified-human commerce. The most significant announcement is AgentKit, infrastructure that lets AI agents carry cryptographic proof they're acting on behalf of a verified human. Okta built an agent delegation system on top of it. The problem World is solving is real. The question is whether a centralized iris-scanning identity layer controlled by the same person whose company helped create the problem is the right answer. Altman is the CEO of OpenAI. He built the flood. Now he's selling the ark.

@MollieeWalkerr Great work! He’d be proud

That’s a wrap on my 5th season on #NYR beat. I’m off this weekend, but have more in the coming weeks. This was the toughest season of my career for obvious reasons. It was a hard adjustment. Thanks to everyone — fans, fellow media and teams — who lended support this season. 🫶🏼

Can anyone explain what the point of 1 day only screenings of films that so many people would pay money for a chance to see? There’s been so many of these in recent years that are near impossible to make for most people. Meanwhile many theaters are struggling - extend the window

@minzlicht Omg shut the fuck up

Ask a colleague why they refuse to use AI. They say it uses up all that water. You point out the water use is far smaller than some would have them believe. Then it's the hallucinations. You mention accuracy has improved dramatically. Then, finally: the process is the point. The struggle. The craft. The deeply human act of sitting with uncertainty. They're not reasoning. They're rationalizing their gut intuitions. My amazing student @vicoldemburgo, with Éloïse Côté, Reem Ayad, @yorl, Jason Plaks and I have a new preprint that explores this more thoroughly, called "The Moralization of Artificial Intelligence". We started by asking how moralized AI has become in public discourse. Analyzing 69,890 news headlines from 2018 to 2024, we found that AI was moralized at levels comparable to GMOs and vaccines, technologies whose moral opposition has been studied for decades. It ranked above both. The sharpest spike came within weeks of ChatGPT's launch in late 2022. When we surveyed representative samples of Americans, a majority of AI opponents said their views wouldn't change even if AI proved safe and beneficial. That's consequence insensitivity, the hallmark of moral conviction, not practical calculation. Across art, chatbots, legal tools, and romantic companions, AI moralization loaded onto a single latent factor. A global moral stance, dressed up in whatever practical language is available. The behavioral data make this concrete: a one standard deviation increase in moralization scores predicted a 42% drop in actual AI usage, even when it would have benefited that person personally. The conviction preceded the behavior by up to 573 days. The next time someone gives you three different reasons to oppose AI, each one dissolving under mild scrutiny, you're probably not watching someone think. You're watching someone feel.

@victoryplustv @AlysonLozoff @AnaheimDucks @chrisdrury you’re dumb

"This is when the hockey gets really fun." 👀 Chris Kreider chats with @AlysonLozoff after the @AnaheimDucks' shootout victory over the Canadiens 🎙️ #FlyTogether

@vzmercogliano At this stage of a “retool”, truly what was the point in trading Kreider and doing him so dirty.

Chris Drury set a price on Vincent Trocheck and stuck to it, which is admirable, but he also may have backed himself into a corner. He’s gambling that he’ll get better value this summer, but his track record warrants skepticism. My #NYR deadline column👇🏼 nytimes.com/athletic/70956…

@Berger_BYTES Damn Tie Domi really looks like the guy from Future Islands

This, #Leafs fans, is brilliant.😊 #LeafsForever

@MLarkinHockey Seems like a strength for players on reasonable deals when the cap is just going up astronomically. GMs are little baby cowards

One of the hurdles that teams haven't cleared today: so many of the top available assets had term left on their deals, meaning GMs don't *have* to move them if they don't like the asks. Trocheck, Kadri, Ristolainen, Faulk, etc etc etc -- all have term left

@vzmercogliano Hope Drury is grilled as hard as Fox has been about his future in NY

*Aidan Thompson is a 24-year-old who can play center and wing. Was an NCAA champ with Denver and a 2022 third-round pick by Chicago. 15 points (6G and 9A) through 40 games with AHL Rockford this season and will almost surely be heading to Hartford. #NYR

#NYR are receiving Aiden Thompson in the deal, per source

@AdamZHerman If Drury fumbles this deadline he should be out the door. If it’s him or Fox, it should be an easy decision for Dolan (it won’t be).

If his initial comments were blown out of proportion, this would have been an easy time for him to say so. That he didn't is alarming.

@vzmercogliano Drury should be shamed out of town if his incompetence leads to Fox’s exit. It’s embarrassing how he’s treated franchise cornerstones and players who should have retired in a NYR jersey.

Adam Fox caught fans’ attention with his postgame comments last week, but what exactly should we take from the noncommittal answer about his future with #NYR? Here’s what I’ve gathered on the situation👇🏼 nytimes.com/athletic/70797…
