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.

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power.

This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

JD Vance wants to go after the Ford Foundation, eh? Interestingly, the Ford Foundation has long been in the crosshairs of the American far right for their supposed funding of "hateful, radical left, anti-white propaganda." Here's an example of that talk from the 1955 edition of The White Sentinel.

In the words of my colleague, the data supports evidence that vaccine saves lives. I believe this data. This data is accurate.
As a physician and scientist, I believe in evidence based medicine. I believe in science. So I traveled one hour to another state armed with #BlackDoctorsMatter shirt and #mask to get my #covid19 vaccine and took my #flu shot too #vaccinatenow #vaccinesavelives

Today is Grandparents Day, and a new group, Grandparents for vaccines, has launched. Many grandparents have seen what vaccines can do, & suffered the infections that can now be prevented. They don't want us to go back to the age when measles & polio were rampant.

First RFK, Jr claimed thimerosal causes autism

Then it was MRNA vaccines

Now he argues if pregnant women take Tylenol, THAT could be the cause

But here’s his own NIH director saying “we have no idea” of the etiology

Kennedy already destroyed the CDC

And unless he goes

AI company Anthropic agrees to pay $1.5B to settle lawsuit with authors
If approved, the settlement would be the largest in the history of American copyright cases, according to a lawyer for the authors behind the lawsuit.

Everyone’s using AI-powered notetakers - but no one’s talking about the risks. From legal exposure to client trust, that quiet little bot in your meeting could be creating big problems behind the scenes.

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:
What If There’s No AGI?
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.
