Hi all, this is Ady’s wife, Rachael. I’m devastated to share the news that Ady has died from complications of ALS. You probably knew Ady as a healthcare activist. But more importantly he was a wonderful dad and my life partner for 18 years. [1/4]

Read ⁦@Will_Bunch⁩ who pulls no punches, actually reports and may well be the best columnist working. … Journalism fails miserably at explaining what is really happening to America. https://t.co/TQfw6s1WTW

D&S director of research @jennaburrell urges journalists to shift from focusing on red herrings like AI’s potential “sentience” to the issues that matter right now — like how AI is further concentrating wealth and power. https://t.co/BtaKxuf5fz

Recently the U.S. has seen a dramatic rise in partisan animosity with dangerous implications for the health of our democracy.

The backlash is not a sideshow, it’s the lifeblood of the anti-democratic, sometimes violent political movement gaining power in the United States https://t.co/kBhVAujQ6q

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Should we outsource writing to AI? Can ChatbotGPT ever replace my (former) profession?

Fantastic conversation with @TheeNerdwriter about how writing allows us to be fully human - to understand ourselves and the world around us.

[corin.bsky.social @corintxt]

Besides greedy private equity firms, the current ad-driven digital media landscape – which pushes human journalists to pump out high volumes of content – is a big part of this problem. The more a reporter is forced to write like a bot, the easier they are to automate. 🤖
