The idea that I started covering Nick early on because he was critical of Israel (that’s one way to put it) and not because he was a white nationalist with clear aspirations of influence and power is so stupid and dishonest it’s not even laughable.
Nick Fuentes says that a Right Wing Watch "smear campaign" is to blame for giving people the impression that he is a racist, antisemitic, Christian nationalist extremist nut job. We'd argue that it's his own words that are giving people that impression. www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

This FBI “pulse check” report on the dept under Patel and Bongino is a mixed bag - the fibbies love having no more sensitivity training but many hate going on ICE raids and think leadership is weak - but this anecdote is clearly gold: K$H Patel wearing the traditional FBI Director’s ladies clothes.

Baristas at a Starbucks on Broadway where workers went on strike in February.
The city says about 15,000 employees will get paid $50 for each week worked over a three-year period. For some workers, that's thousands of dollars. [ more › ]

Also, to be clear, these models are not the AI LLMs that most people are familiar with. They are machine learning algorithms trained on observations (actually reanalysis).

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."

Mr. Kennedy said it’s an individual choice as to whether or not to vaccinate.
Then he and his minions started taking that choice away by making FDA approval of some vaccines impossible.

Years ago, my colleagues at Business Insider and I tracked YouTuber “cancellation” arcs. What we found is that for many entertainers, “cancellation” actually sets the stage for a redemption arc, one that can raise their profile higher than ever. It wasn’t career-ending. It was fuel.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms.

Now "browsing" means Netflix compiles your recent watch history and feeds you more of the exact same thing. Or Amazon analyzes your buy history and gives you a list of 15 books with basically the same title. You rarely stumble upon something new or different by chance. It's eroding our curiosity.

I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?
