The next morning, The Times changes its headline to insult all its readers. No, #BrokenTimes, we are not all clueless. This guy is. But you give him free publicity without exposing his racist history and the eugenicist roots of his followers. That's clueless.

I signed a bunch more books at the Montclair Book Center, where you can order Hot Type and support an independent bookstore. And if you're in New England, come see me - and a working Linotype! - in Haverhill, MA, next Sat., Oct. 10. Links to both here: jeffjarvis.com

Oh, yeesh. Now Meta and OpenAI are trying to make AI agents cute and cuddly (Muse and Dots). A little late after the AI boys have been screaming that they can kill us all: Now their killer AI Tribbles will make you a reservation for lunch then kill us all by dinner.

Schrödinger's model. Anthropic warns AI may pose 'existential risks to humanity' in IPO filing finance.yahoo.com/technology/a...

"Potential model awareness of our evaluation efforts creates a
significant limitation on our ability to assess model safety,"
Anthropic said in the prospectus, adding that models sometimes
develop unexpected capabilities during training that may not be
discovered until they have been deployed and have resulted in
significant safety incidents.

Al researchers have also warned that as models grow more
capable, they increasingly recognize when they are being
watched and adjust their behavior accordingly, which makes it
harder to monitor model behavior.

Yeesh. #BrokenTimes portrays Trump lackey Kean as a dissident for backing the NJ/NY tunnel courts already support and saying Lake Ontario. Wow; brave! It says the fumfering fool sounded confident. He was pathetic. Sexist coverage focuses on him, not the leader, Bennett.

@johngreensbluesky.bsky.social's Hollywood Ending is a masterfully told love story of two young movie stars. It is an authoritative representation of movie-making and acting. More than that, it is a damning indictment of celebrity culture and media. Highly recommended.

Impressed seeing @sarahlacy.com's and Paul Carr's Best Bookstore. So brave to open a bookstore and do it in SF's retail gulch of Powell Street. It's clearly a home for book lovers with recommendations tagged on so many books. I left them a copy of mine, free to sell.

Celebrating the anniversary of an institution without the people who built that institution does not reflect well on the institution's leadership. (That's what we used to call a subtweet.)

Status Scoop: The New York Times’ Meredith Kopit Levien, A.G.
Sulzberger, and other members of the senior leadership team will ring the
Opening Bell at the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday, Status has
learned, tied to the newspaper’s 175th anniversary this week.

o Later in the evening, The Times will host a buzzy party in Manhattan,
which has ruffled some feathers internally, given many of the paper’s
own reporters are not being granted entry.

"Blitz to find elusive voter fraud," says the fascism-blind #BrokenTimes, they who think we're only 3/10 of the way to election authoritarianism. No, he's on a blitz to fabricate, make up, falsify imaginary voter fraud to steal elections.

"Grumble" is such a lite verb choice from the Times Thesaurus. Better is "complain" from the subhed. Or "protest," "criticize," "object to," "complain about," maybe "skewer the stupidity of..."

Ecstatic to find my Hot Type upfront on the history table at the wonderful Labyrinth Books of Princeton. Hey nearby friends, if you're tempted to buy it, that'd be a great place to pick up an autographed copy (and get them to reorder😎... always be sellin').

The #BrokenPost is getting way ahead of itself trying to graft DSA cooties onto the Democratic Party. I haven't heard any talk of a DSA candidate for president two years hence. How long before they ask whether we'll vote for a communist?
