I am convinced that this is a kind of measurement fallacy. Because of the internet, we are exposed to so much more "news". Our feeds are literally full of eyewitness videos of and reactions to what is basically local news. 40 years ago 99% of that doesn't reach you. Of course it feels like more now.

[cmaxmagee @cmaxmagee]

Oh damn what?! .... Oh, I see.

[cmaxmagee @cmaxmagee]

@ettingermentum Yes it's almost as though the perverse incentives baked into social media algorithms have completed poisoned our political discourse

[cmaxmagee @cmaxmagee]

Huge finding but we should wait on Chuck E. Cheese scientists to replicate first

[cmaxmagee @cmaxmagee]

@daveweigel Crowded show agenda aside, are we sure we don't want more resignations? I could think of a few.

@conorsen @TheStalwart Remember when Groupon was the fastest growing start up ever? lol

[cmaxmagee @cmaxmagee]

Ooof...

Well, this is a first: a ChatGPT-generated story won a prestigious literary prize (The Commonwealth Prize).

"Not X, not Y, but Z" sentences everywhere, the "hums" trope, and plenty of other obvious markers of AI writing.

A major milestone for AI, at any rate...

@conorsen These data names - I think wall street is waking up to AI needing the data, not replacing the data on its own. $FDS $CLVT $TRI as well etc

[cmaxmagee @cmaxmagee]

@TheStalwart Seems to mostly just show how whipsaw volatile commodities are

[cmaxmagee @cmaxmagee]

@mattyglesias What about "spend" as a noun?

As in "What's the projected spend on compute"

@tolstoybb Yeah and maybe with a little of this mixed in https://t.co/CWmIre8H5Z

🚨🚨 Scoop on @Jerusalem_Post: Some Israeli and US officials think that Mojtaba Khamenei is not functioning as Supreme Leader, not giving orders and does not control Iran, according to two sources familiar with the details told the Post.

🚨 One source said that, in practice, those currently in control of Iran are the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Ahmad Vahidi, the IRGC commander, who was appointed to the position after the assassination of Mohammad Pakpour at the beginning of Operation Roaring Lion and Epic Fury

@PatrickRuffini gross take

[cmaxmagee @cmaxmagee]

@conorsen Hadn't thought about this but the amenities in the burbs of large metros are incredible compared to what was available in the 90s/2000s. Developers exported the lessons of urban gentrification to the burbs as those gentrifying urban renters started families and moved to the burbs

@mattyglesias Three across is basically impossible even in an SUV. And more power to you if you want to try to install and get a toddler in and out of a third row car seat but most folks ain't signing up for that.

[cmaxmagee @cmaxmagee]

@tomcvegas Also interesting: Fitzsimmons comes over from AlixPartners. Who else was at AP at the same time as Fitzsimmons? David Willetts - former CEO of IEP and current CEO of Pep Boys. As best I can tell, they overlapped at AP from 2011-13 and again 2020-21.

@komradekhris We need to get back to when they were called like DARK TARGET
