A🧵 This is profoundly irresponsible by AGSulzberger’s NYT, @by-cjewett.bsky.social +eds. The normalization, “view-from-nowhere”, “born-yesterday”, stenography, “both-sides”, irresponsible headline are disgraceful. THE story is the CDC&FDA are being destroyed by antiscience & Americans will die. 1/n

I was at the the No Kings march in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Many elderly or disabled folks who couldn’t make it to Manhattan, but also young families and people of all ages. I stood in the same spot for more than an hour and the stream of protesters was constant. Amazing turnout.

Okay, so Anthropic settles. The settlement is $1.5B for 500,000 authors. They just raised $13B to get them to a total valuation of $183B. As far as they're concerned, this settlement is a rounding error.

The "Mag 7" tech firms comprise 34% of the S&P 500, & we're expected to spend *$3 trillion* by 2028 on AI infrastructure. But large language models are hitting a wall. What if generative AI is delayed or even dead? Tech writer Bryan McMahon says the bubble popping will hurt all of us:

The technological struggles are in some ways beside the point. The financial bet on artificial general intelligence is so big that failure could cause a depression.
