The entire point of good reporting or good scholarship is to tell us something we didn’t already know and the idea that they could ever be replaced by AI tools that rely on scraping the internet database of what we *do* know is just ludicrous.
it really is both insanely inaccurate and also wildly offensive to assume that scientists and reporters can be readily replaced with passive sensors
This is what popped into my head immediately upon reading that, like, okay, so all those field scientists... we can just replace them with Waymos, got it, can't wait to see how a Waymo creeps through a bush for 7 weeks just to take a photograph of a bird that nobody has ever photographed before

In their silence against Trump, business leaders are saying their fear and idolatry of the dollar trumps all. Their silence is cowardice.

strange to see Trump advocating for copying the french electoral system (based on paper ballots, and one-day vote) for its cost effectiveness and resulting trust. but I must admit I do trust this old fashioned way. it has drawbacks though: young people don't vote much
🚨NEW: Donald Trump links targeting of law firms to election denialism. When asked about corporate clients pressuring law firms to capitulate to his demands, he responded: “Law firms have to behave themselves… having to do with the elections and other things, they behaved very badly, very wrongly.”

Donald Trump preys off people feeling hopeless and being too scared to fight. I won't let Trump take away my hope or make me too afraid to stand tall and fight.
I continue to believe that if we fight for democracy we will win.

what about "free speech" that wouldn't exist in Europe but would in the US according to your friend dhh @jasonfried.bsky.social?
French researcher, going to a conference in Houston, was forbidden entry to US; his work and personal electronics were both confiscated.
Why? Because a “random search” of his cell phone revealed a negative personal opinion on Trump and the Trump administration. www.lemonde.fr/internationa...

The EU will protect its consumers and businesses.
We are launching swift, proportionate countermeasures worth up to €26 billion, matching the economic impact of the US tariffs.
