“Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo, buffalo Buffalo buffalo.”

The above sentence actually means something and is grammatically correct.

16. Norway Is So Damn Rich

In 2022, Norway's oil fund was larger than the combined wealth of the 10 richest people in the world.

It makes $1 billion per week -- and holds 1.4% of the world's shares.

(Nuance: Be skeptical of individual Forbes net-worth figures)

2. The Rise Of Negative Media

Since 2010, the media massively increased headlines that use fear, anger, disgust, and sadness.

It has also decreased articles of neutrality and joy.

It's no surprise that few media outlets are covering this meta point.

Deja vu.

I'm told Facebook is announcing tomorrow it will block ALL news for 5% of Canada starting Monday. When FB ran this play in Australia, it was a global intimidation playbook. Canada is at finish line to pass similar law #C18. #ParliamentStayStrongAgainstBullyMonopolist

What Wikipedia did: we stood strong for our principles and fought to the Supreme Court of Turkey and won. This is what it means to treat freedom of expression as a principle rather than a slogan.

I hate that I audibly chortled at this. Goddamnit.

At the @guardian we've been quite quiet about generative AI. It's mainly because we're treating a complex topic with the care it requires. Here's my piece on journalism, responsibility and why, in some crucial respects, nothing has changed https://t.co/pRjK1RhRmq

And some utterly damning charts.

1) at *every* point on the income distribution, Americans live shorter lives than the English.

ChatGPT is trained on a large amount of news data from top sources that fuel its AI. It's unclear whether OpenAI has agreements with all of these publishers. Scraping data without permission would break the publishers' terms of service.
