Dan Gallagher and I took a step back on how the market is treating AI stocks. There's a lot of trepidation out there, and there are real reasons for fear. But the fundamentals of the AI boom haven't shifted much recently. https://t.co/CW9olVUrfu

In thinking about Evan Gershkovich’s detention in Russia, it may be instructive to remember the case of Jason Rezaian. He, too, was accused of spying, jailed and finally released as part of a prisoner swap. https://t.co/jd7teFWt49

Evan Gershkovich, the American son of Soviet-born Jewish exiles, grew to love Russia. Espionage charges leave him facing a prison sentence of up to 20 years.

Reupping this from a couple days ago: Major U.S. companies are hiring Black Americans in large numbers. But Black employees are also leaving early-career jobs in large numbers—often, they say, because they feel little support or opportunity to advance. https://t.co/J7cH6wTKgl

Not long before the brouhaha over @timnitGebru, Google AI probed complaints against @mustafasuleymn, the cofounder of AI arm @DeepMind.

Google kept him in an executive role and offered him a public hero’s welcome from @JeffDean

The Trump administration keeps rolling out polices to constrain China--this one letting Commerce block imports of communications gear. But it's up to Biden to put into force (or kill). Lots for the new team to decide. https://t.co/gMDzBzzIBO via @WSJ

It's been a long day. Here's final @Reuters wrap on the social media side of things: what platforms did today, how violent rhetoric ramped up, and what FB staffers were posting internally (like one asking for "some courage and actual action" from execs) https://t.co/FM4AoMa6sp

@sama Philosophy, storytelling, fiction, creative pursuits in general. The current idea of work will recede. Fewer people will need to do any work, and those who do will need to do less of it. More spare time == more emphasis on other things.

@kshaheen Hummus is gone, Kareem. It's beyond saving. They've taken over hummus. Just let hummus go. In fact, give them hummus in the hope that they don't come after any other mezze. It's the evacuation of Gallipoli of food. Much has been lost, but keeping up the fight risks disaster.
