all to produce the golden era of AI child pornography

The U.S. is now spending more on data center construction than on public transportation infrastructure, according to new Census Bureau figures out today (https://t.co/2SonuBrsvY)

Can we just skip to the revelations that Anthropic bought lap-dances for dorky venal administrators at U Chicago to get this deal?

[Jeet Heer @HeerJeet]

Beyond the particular facts of the story, there's a pattern of congress people going missing for weeks at a time in recent years. It's a symptom of how irrelevant the legislative branch of government has become in USA.

It doesn't matter because they are trying (successfully) to destroy the media!

[The New Republic @newrepublic]

Bezos’s new opinion section has 515 YouTube subscribers. CBS News is at historic ratings lows. The Daily Wire is shedding audience. The billionaires paying for all of it say it doesn’t matter. https://t.co/uGX8HHyqRD

Staffing really is the shadow of covid. working in a Barnes that used to have 3 times the staff 10 years ago and you can tell due to left over infrastructure that goes unused. Crazy how much retail space is a home for ghosts from the nuclear bomb of covid like empty sani bottles

Barnes and Noble CEO saying the store will carry AI written books is a lot like Spotify pushing slop composed songs. These corporations hate artists.

they were trying to secure a fair contract for three years, the state conceded in three days. this is why they dont want you to unionize your workplace

[Robin Kaiser-Schatzlein @robinsreport]

As Hamilton Nolan pointed out elsewhere, housekeepers will be making $100k *in six years from now* so maybe let's cool it on the commentary

[The New York Times @nytimes]

The average pay of housekeepers in New York City hotels will increase to more than $100,000 a year as part of a contract settlement between an industry trade group and a powerful union. https://t.co/Jb95HIXQcL

@cookiebotmonstr I wrote about this trend if you are interested! https://t.co/Z1VeSFFUvV

The complaints from private grocery store owners in the article are a good sign that a public rival could actually lower prices and improve quality and help NYC residents

[Robin Kaiser-Schatzlein @robinsreport]

Important to note that it is a public institution -- schools -- that is doing this important triage, not any private interests.

As family homelessness hits record highs, school districts are offering parking lots as safe sites for students and their families to sleep at night https://t.co/PYABAl9XCH

Seems bad.

"A recent audit by the auditor general of Ontario found that AI scribes recommended by the provincial government regularly generated incorrect, incomplete and hallucinated information that could “potentially result in inadequate or harmful treatment plans."

[Robin Kaiser-Schatzlein @robinsreport]

I know social workers in NYC who are being forced to use this note-taking technology and they have no way of pushing back and clients have no idea it is being used. This is really really really bad in a clinical context.

@mtobiasneely loyalty programs as well, when Chipotle is giving away free guac, you know it must be in exchange for something....

people should complain more about working with shitty people in the business of writing, which honestly is the worst part of this job

[noah kulwin @nkulw]

One of the funniest things about journalism is how many people hate writing. You should have picked a different job!

"In the midst of all of this, it seems that Dunne found something about the city strangely soothing—its transience and uniformity, the feeling that people there were living not in the moment but in the long aftermath of whatever the moment had been."

[Charlie Lee @char_leelee]

I wrote about John Gregory Dunne for @nybooks! The thrust of it is basically this:
