Ed Zitron argues the AI boom is a bubble based on three arguments
1) Nvidia’s stock price hinges on FAANG’s endless GPU buying spree
2) Big Tech is spending 10x more on AI infrastructure than they earn
3) AI startups like OpenAI & Anthropic are making billions but are burning even more billions.

How My Reporting on the Columbia Protests Led to My Deportation
As an Australian who wrote about the demonstrations while on campus, I gave my phone a superficial clean before flying to the U.S. I underestimated what I was up against.

The Times questioning Zohran’s experience kinda just boils down to ideology & racism but the idea of 33 being too young to hold a major political office is so funny. If he was a CEO of a startup that produced something worse than nothing they’d write a glowing feature on his new bold ideas.

The majority of DOGE's "work" is to use LLMs to search federal grants for the keywords "LGBTQ," "BIPOC," and similar, and then to cancel those grants.
They are targeting minorities in the most literal, automated way. The outcomes of this are all over their own website:

Incarcerated people have more chronic medical conditions than ever
Yet healthcare behind bars is blocked by expensive copays, limited resources, & understaffing – creating a situation in which each year spent in prison takes *2 years* off an individual’s life expectancy
