Catch me in the skies of blue

Noticing that it's getting really, really hard to keep up with the latest in AI, even though we LITERALLY WORK IN AI. So, me + @ericagreene started working together to try and make sense of it all. Sign up for our coffee shop convos and email threads! machinesonpaper.com

For giggles, I checked how this AI company @Seekr_io currently rates the "reliability" of stories on Kevin McCarthy's ouster as speaker. VERY HIGH: Breitbart, Daily Mail, NY Post, OANN, ZeroHedge, WashTimes VERY LOW: Bloomberg, NYT, BBC, Guardian, ABC, NBC, Time, Politico 🤔

@AlanGoldsher Eh, his teammates have always loved him He's actually been a great guy in Milwaukee despite Chicago media calling him a thug who should be hung by the throat until death

I think at some Phoenix Suns practice before the end of the calendar year, Kevin Durant is going to punch Grayson Allen in the throat.

bonkers story. Popular decongestant is challenged by scientists in 2007 as being ineffective FDA apparently says “hey, let’s keep it on the market” Tens of millions take it. 16 years later FDA votes 16-0 that it really, truly doesn’t work apnews.com/article/sudafe…

🟡 SCOOP: X, Elon Musk’s social media platform formerly known as Twitter, appears to be attempting to limit its users’ access to The New York Times, @maxwelltani reports. semafor.com/article/09/10/…

We are a nation increasingly run by people who believe everything in life should be like getting into Harvard. And that all social inequalities only matter as they relate to getting into Harvard. This fucking blows

The idea that Wisconsin should be a representative democracy has been extremely controversial for a decade-plus now

Many civil society groups have pressured social media sites to address bigotry, some far more influential and resourced than the ADL, which focuses on other things. Yet Musk and the far-right have nonetheless magically landed on Jews as the cause of their problems. I wonder why!

Making the Internet “kid safe” is impossible, but using these laws to control speech and free expression for most people? That’s entirely possible. theverge.com/2023/8/29/2384…

Sort of sad but in a way a relief how largely useless the site formally known as Twitter has become. Good in that it helps keep me off the site as now my feed is mostly self promoters pushing junk theories. Very limited value as a news source anymore. It was once very valuable

@MeganBitchell Omg new neighbor!

What the fuck do you mean this isn’t going to fit in my Williamsburg studio

Everyone involved in this newspaper raid is going to regret awakening the interest of journalists in Marion County affairs

Also, when she crashed into the school building, she was the local DA — but was driving the local judge's car at the time! I'm sure there are a few defendants in that court who'd be interested to know the judge was loaning out his car to the DA with the drinking problem.

There is romance in our show, it's just that it hurts everyone so bad. And even when it doesn't hurt, they're just so afraid of being hurt that... well, maybe this song by Karen in Ep. 6 will say it better than I can. "The Space Man" is on your feeds now.

Its getting close to a wrap for me on this website. Im on Bsky @Bassey and threads @therealbasseyetim

The Origin Story of my @KarenOnePercent audiodrama? Mostly it was the years I spent workshopping it with these beautiful people. Ep 7 - THE SPACE MAN drops into your feeds tomorrow morning!
