Day job: US editorial director of consumer tech media sites. On BlueSky: personal takes and, yes, some shares from PCWorld, Macworld, Tech Advisor and TechHive.

@thejonphillips.bsky.social indulged me this morning. The Slate EV truck gets me excited in the same way the Framework laptop does. www.pcworld.com/article/2764...
Slate is the perfect EV pickup truck for PC builders like me
A new, tiny, electric pickup truck is making a splash in America. As a desktop PC builder, it's making my eyes pop out from the possibilities.

Well, *this* has been a week. I was promoted to global editorial director of Foundry's consumer brands, IDG sold Foundry to Regent, and Regent just also bought TechCrunch. Positives come in threes? What's next?

So @timothysnyder.bsky.social and @maddow.bsky.social just spent 10 minutes discussing the creation of a “shadow government”? As if conspiracy nut jobs don’t have enough to chew on? Did we learn nothing from “defund the police”? Words matter. 🤦

Can AI detect AI-authored “journalism”? PCWorld ran some tests.

I tried 4 AI detection tools and they were (mostly) disappointing

I think social media is the source of many systemic problems, from political strife to low self esteem and attention deficit. But Bluesky *has* to be better than X and Facebook, right? Giving it a go. You know… for journalism.
