From Ottawa bureau chief of @Reuters earning $ 130,000 a year
to Uber driver
@SchererSteve wrote a fascinating essay on his journey. He seems to have found a hack's job again. Though much less charming than his glamorous foreign correspondent roles

@xai is on the outside looking in on this patent commons, and I'm curious as to why? So are @OpenAI and @nvidia -- and all the Chinese players...

Foundational AI patent commons may add fuel to race for market leadership

Muncie native writes about a life covering topics like the migrant divide only to fall into it.

Great piece. Hoping his whole family can one day unify.

[Shelly Kittleson @shellykittleson]

Former Reuters bureau chief who lost his job and is now struggling to survive as a taxi driver:

"In my previous jobs, I interviewed prime ministers and CEOs (...) We are all improvising, all one broken transmission or missed paycheck away from something even worse
(...) in the United States, more than 10,000 journalists lost their jobs between 2022 and 2024 (...) Google, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok have gobbled up the advertising dollars, and campy 30-second videos by influencers now deliver what passes for news on social media (...) my family (...) flew to Italy, where they could live rent-free in a family member’s home (...) After I said goodbye to them, I wept uncontrollably in the airport parking lot, not knowing when I would see them again (...) I trust an app to buy me another day"

@ChrisBurkeShay @thenation Reading @SchererSteve ‘s here and on Substack, is heartbreaking, but brings home the reality of the rapid decline of media.
