There may yet be hard truths in 'NAZA,, including evidence of Israel's systemic failures. But the reporting around it treats flimsy claims as proof of criminality.

I grieved for the Internet, I grieved for Social Media, now I grieve for universities, and their communities. This is all part of a mass-dismantling of social connection (and university leaders have been blithe to their part). What does that leave? We all become selfish? Not why I work at a uni…

The thing about AI is that they want us to believe that this sort of just passable BS is adequate and suffices when it sucks and does not. In pretty much every case.

Possibly unpopular opinion? I think artists should get to sign the art they make for book covers. It should be right there, on the front, because it’s never been more important to showcase the humanness of art. And also there are many times when I see a beautiful cover and wonder, “Who made this?”

AI without capitalism hasn't ever existed... unless one really does incredible legwork to redefine it. This makes the question basically impossible to answer as there is no understanding of one without the other at this moment in time that's easily accessible.

JP Morgan on oil prices/Strait of Hormuz:
"A core assumption of our framework is that the accelerating pace of oil inventory depletion will ultimately force the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, one way or another. Our base case envisions the Strait reopens in June—anchored on June 1 for simplicity—following a clear and credible announcement ratified and confirmed by both sides, such as a statement from the UN Security Council."

I dunno. Maybe because that's a stupid thing to want?

films and series have filler characters, it sucks for the viewer it takes up space but doesn’t add anything to the story. I tend to skip through these scenes manually. So why Isn’t there a way to deselect scenes of certain characters on Netflix or pretty much any content viewing platform, and have that configuration be applied throughout the show. Begs to as what about experiencing the web in general? why isn’t there a way to instantly see a website how you want to experience it, what information should or shouldn’t be there, how it is organized and it instantly adapts to your needs and wishes. It gets better over time. I don’t think this is scifi level thinking, it feels close. An autonomous and highly adaptable UI, it makes me hopeful that digital experiences can become more beautiful and intuitive

personally I think it's a very big deal that the Canada bureau chief for the @nytimes.com — certainly one of the highest-paid journalists in the country — asked an unspecified "AI tool" what Poilievre said & published its AI-hallucinated quotes in her reporting.

Editors’ Note: May 1, 2026
This article was updated after The Times learned that a remark attributed to Pierre Poilievre, the Conservative leader, was in fact an A.I.-generated summary of his views about Canadian politics that A.I. rendered as a quotation. The reporter should have checked the accuracy of what the A.I. tool returned. The article now accurately quotes from a speech delivered by Mr. Poilievre in April. He said, “My personal opinion is that when a member of Parliament goes back on the word they made to their constituents and switches parties, constituents should be able to petition to throw them out and have a byelection. That would put the people back in charge of our democracy rather than having dirty backroom Liberal deals by Mark Carney determine our destiny.” He did not refer to politicians who changed allegiances as turncoats in that speech.
