@RobinKwong @WSJ Congratulations Robin, though the new title sounds a little Orwellian

Some professional news: I'm delighted to take on the role of Director of Audience Loyalty at @WSJ . I'll continue to oversee our newsletter and audience voices teams in this new capacity.

@annaknicolaou @madhumita29 ... and here's the link ft.com/content/6f0223…

Great scoop by @annaknicolaou and @madhumita29 and nice to see the music labels trying to get ahead of genAI - but it wont mean anything until they come up with terms that are musician-friendly

What's the new Twitter boss up to? @MsHannahMurphy has some answers

Great scoop by @madhumita29 @tim @Tabby_Kinder It's a year to the day since Musk made his offer for Twitter, he's been otherwise engaged while AI had its breakout year. No wonder he wants OpenAI to slow down for 6 months

@DaveLeeFT @DaveLeeBBG It's been a real pleasure getting to know your @DaveLeeFT incarnation - though I can't believe you're leaving for the other coast just when things are getting interesting around here. Good luck!

Pleased to say my important longstanding principle of having a rhyming Twitter handle will endure -- @DaveLeeBBG has been parked. I'll explain more about my brief in the new gig when the start date nears.

Hello! Time for a "personal news" moment, if I may.

Looking forward to this conversation at the top of the hour. Though predicting what Musk will do next is a bit of a challenge. twitter.com/i/spaces/1yoJM…

@emilymbender Well I am, and your points are noted!

@RichardWaters I live in hope that journalists are reading these threads and that the coverage of tech will improve as a result!

Once again @emilybender does an invaluable service deconstructing how we journalists overhype AI. I live in terror she'll take apart one of my pieces one day

(Trying this again without the typo): Had a fascinating talk with @satyanadella about gaming, the metaverse, and what it all means for the future of software and online competition: ft.com/tech-exchange

My piece on Musk. Love the comments section: "Peak Musk", say some, but in general a recognition of what he's done. Elon Musk: Interview with FT’s Person of the year ft.com/content/a7f75d…

You have to love the way @elonmusk has turned what could have been seen as a CEO dumping $20bn of personal stock at the height of a bubble into a debate about tax accountability in which he's cast as the responsible one. Genius!

@MalcolmMoore @TashaBernal @FT Fantastic news - welcome! @TashaBernal Looking forward to seeing what plans you and @MalcolmMoore cook up

We are so excited that the talented @TashaBernal is joining the @FT Tech desk. She's going to have a huge impact on bringing our readers the biggest scoops and best analysis.

When Big Tech is the solution, not the problem: a "green grid" for everyone could be a huge win from the rise of cloud data centres. Interesting take from @lesliehook and @DaveLeeFT ft.com/content/0c69d4… via @financialtimes

$GME is fascinating on many levels, but some perspective needed. $20bn of market cap is not nothing (and will hurt a lot of people when it evaporates) - but Apple shed 4x that amount today. This revolt looks pretty marginal

The FT has a vacancy for an accounting correspondent. This is one of the biggest, juiciest beats at the FT. Unfortunately, you would be following @Tabby_Kinder and @miss_marriage who both smashed it but don't let that put you off. ft.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/FT_Exter…

Also fascinating from @DaveLeeFT. Why five star reviews aren't what they seem. Amazon deletes 20,000 reviews after evidence of profits for posts ft.com/content/bb03ba… via @financialtimes

Fascinating from @PatrickMcGee_ Apple: how app developers manipulate your mood to boost ranking ft.com/content/217290… via @financialtimes
