This is Maria, a 6-year-old detained by ICE last year.

She began to unravel soon after arriving at a detention center in Texas, wetting the bed after years without accidents, crying through the night and begging to breastfeed again.

Most of all, she wanted to be reunited with her cat, Milo. 1/

Introducing Total Crap, the First Magazine Written Entirely by AI Amid doomsaying pronouncements that the publishing industry is dead, we are proud to bring the written word into the future with revolutionary tech...

"Without writers, editors, photographers, and photo editors, our company will incur almost no expenses when putting out Total Crap."

Every player on the field for Indiana save for their center is a guy any other Indiana coach could have signed.

This is not a storybook ending. It’s the beginning.

Imagine if you signed a lease on a new apartment, but it expired next Thursday. But you could put your lease in the freezer and it would last longer. And Wendy’s made entire marketing campaigns about how their leases were never frozen.

I generally agree but make an exception for Barry Odom because he was my high school PE teacher and was nice to me when some other kid hit a shuttlecock through my glasses one day.

Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field The Nuzzi/RFK Jr. mess and the revelation of Esptein's journo pals lay bare a profound moral absence at the heart of our free press.

New — I wrote about the myriad ways journalism’s moral rot manifests, and how our crumbling institutions have created the conditions for it to fester:

Maybe also Jason Whitten. His production dipped late in his career, but not like he fell off a cliff. Just normal aging. (Gonzalez, though, just didn’t age.)

He and Gonzalez missed like three games total in a combined 34 seasons, which is wild.

WGA Statement on ABC's Decision to Pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WGA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

The following is a statement from the WGA on ABC’s decision to pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’

I can’t think of a single memorable tweet that was longer even after the limit was lifted.

Was walking down the street tonight and saw someone had thrown out a lightly used coffee table that was the exact one I was going to buy. Maybe 45 minutes of work to fix a couple minor issues, and it’s a like-new $250 table. It is now in my garage.

How I imagine the exchange would go:

Editor, giving up on revising that sentence: “I have no idea what you’re trying to accomplish here. Consider a rewrite to clarify.”

TCW: Hmm, my editor is not as smart as I. I will make no changes.

The difference to me is less about what we millennials experienced in a unique way and more about what Gen X experienced and we did not.

The Media's Pivot to AI Is Not Real and Not Going to Work AI is not going to save media companies, and forcing journalists to use AI is not a business model.

It’s also wrong for the simple fact that Harris did give people something to vote for. Quite a lot, actually.

Better: Instead of an opt out of the Discover feed, make it opt in.

They would also, I’m pretty damn sure, reject using AI to remove that feeling.

Lots of great writers experience negative emotions when they write. Those who seek to eliminate emotion from the process, though, are probably never going to be great. Or even good.

The link on that first one doesn’t even go to a story about protests. It also goes to a link about the parade.

I’ve complained about refs—hated them, really—for 25+ years, and I’m not gonna stop now.

Another angle of Senator Padilla's confrontation with Kristi Noem here via FoxNews:

What is the city but the people?

Searching whether dogs can see a specific thing in beetle wings is just a bad search. “How dogs see color” plus critical thinking, though, will get you an answer eventually.

So back to the original claim of consumer value, the pitch here is basically “avoid thinking.”

Indeed. When trying to answer specific questions, I’d search for what I thought would lead me to the info needed to get to an answer on my own, not the question itself.

It’s an easily searchable answer to a question I believe you posed to demonstrate the consumer value of this type of AI.

I agree AI will more likely have answers to hyperspecific questions. Whether that’s providing meaningful value to anyone is, I think, debatable.

I’ve sadly read almost all of this, beginning with “insanely more useful than other tools.”

That answer is a short version of my top search result on the same topic. Is either correct? I dunno. I’m not an expert. Is a simplified answer better? Maybe. But insanely more useful? Not from this example.

I just checked a couple possible domains for a defunct paper with genuine history. Available for $0.01. I don’t know if the name is actually available or still a trademark held by someone else, but it seems quite doable.
