We're probably a few months out from getting new marketing lingo for AI agents - too much bad pr lately. While people wont be building their own agents, they will be everywhere we go online and on the phone. Likely people will end up forcibly interacting with it each day.

I was deputy M.E. at the WSJ when Murdoch took over, with a similar “editorial independence board.” Within 4 months, our top editor was gone, replaced by a loyal Murdoch deputy. That board raised a quivering objection, but the deed was done. If the Ellisons own CNN, they’ll do whatever they want.

Sensible article from BBC @kalihays.bsky.social. Just because someone is senior in a company doesn't mean they are not a fantasist. Techy sorts are prone to this. Used to know lots of IT sorts years back. They were well into conspiracy theories and anything "dark." 1/4 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

For people thinking, what's the big deal about the 4% cut in global oil production coming next week, that's the scale of the 1973 OPEC crisis and 1979 Iran war oil crisis. Each followed by a major recession. Prices and supply are global. And global oil stocks are already gone. It's a calamity. 1/

Arte Moreno bought the Angels in 2003 (the year after they won the Series) for $184 million. He then spent 23 years running them into the ground, let the stadium decay, wasted Trout and Ohtani, and sold for $4 billion. And the owners are crying poverty and threatening to kill baseball next year.
