A must read deep-dive piece of reporting by/from NPR's @darakerr. "During that call, he also mentioned he knew the exact area where I was staying. Unnerved, I asked how he knew..."

This is an absolutely damning story. Maybe the biggest failure at the Times since Judith Miller’s WMD coverage https://t.co/VJU9AJ5bgj

"Sahil Omar" is the new Sam Hyde, a supposed illegal migrant whose name goes viral in the aftermath of criminal incidents as the culprit.

But unlike Sam Hyde, Sahil Omar doesn't seem to exist. It's a hoax made up by an X account.

"Joe Biden, like Reagan before him, could end the current carnage with a single phone call to Benjamin Netanyahu."

My first piece as a @GuardianUS columnist explores the unused leverage that American presidents like Biden have over Israeli governments:

Last year, OpenAI rode the wave of hype over its products to great power and influence. Even as the harms, toll, and danger of those products became clear—and the biz models did not—the hype entrenched it.

Let's not do this again with Sora, please

AI is tech's Lehman brothers. So much money going into an unprofitable power hungry tech that has yet to prove it can do anything essential, yet every major cloud provider is sinking billions into data centres, and startups are betting their future that it somehow makes money.

Incredibly eloquent and courageous family member of a hostage. I can’t imagine this airing on US television.

A momentus decision by the ICJ that is likely to start the political dynamics to end Israel's genocidal war on Gaza: there should not be an Israeli exception to the prevention of genocide.

A man dies in a New York subway accident. Soon — before any official news or word from his family — Google fills up with eerie, AI-generated articles about him, some wrongly stating he was murdered.

Our look inside the booming business of fake obituaries: https://t.co/iZA2umW440

To be clear btw: when @RashidaTlaib said ‘from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’, and when @marclamonthill said it, theirs was a call for *freedom* in that space

Netanyahu’s ’from the river to the sea’ is much worse - it’s a call for permanent military *occupation*.
