I’ve not seen NYT internal analytics, but I’ll bet $50 they look something like this:
- there is a core user base that uses the app, gets push notifications, posts on social 10+ times a day
- they are X% more likely to “rapid react” to an egregious headline and drive traffic in the first 2 hours…

Good Fast Times article on New York Times headlines. I was interviewed. One thing I should have noted: the rage-bait comes increasingly from the opinions section.

Annoyed by a 'New York Times' headline? It seems like that's increasingly the Gray Lady's goal
Several ‘New York Times’ headlines in 2025 have earned severe social media backlash. Is it happening on purpose?

I was explaining this to someone else but, people who use AI Keep thinking it makes them "just as creative" as a real artist.
But they haven't even cultivated their IMAGINATIONS.
They don't even have the well of *ideas* to pull from
Even just THINKING CREATIVELY is a skill you need to develop

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

People are just endlessly surprised that the Catholic Church has different positions on things than the GOP
Pope Leo XIV told students not to use artificial intelligence for homework, saying that AI ‘won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation.’

One of the producers on Guilty Gear Strive said it was basically impossible to source player feedback on balance changes online because nobody had original opinions and would just parrot what the most popular content creators said and so they had to rely on data and I think about that every day.

Definitely an overlooked point: The authoritarian far right, including its white nationalist iterations, are self-consciously global in scope and liberals need to adapt to that:
The movement to destroy liberal democracy is international, and so must be its defense
NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

Any time corporate executives are in a room together and don't know they're being recorded, the transcript is like: "Christ, I hate our customers. We're agreed that we all hate our customers? Let's lie to the IRS, criminally. Did I mention the Holocaust never happened? Put more lead in our soda."
