Recommend Josh Rothman on the global AI panic in today’s New Yorker, and not just because he opens by quoting Neuromancer. Seriously, though, this is a highly discerning look at what may be going on. (I’d link, but I’m a subscriber and assume it’s behind a paywall.)

. @joyowango.bsky.social describes how we have entered the fourth era of information management. The 1st was the library era “can we find it”; the 2nd was the digital era “can we access it”; the 3rd open science era “can we reuse it”; now the AI era “ can machines understand and trust it” #NISOPlus

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.
