Grok's Information Sewage Pipeline Why X's chatbot concerns me more than any other right now

Two months ago, ahead of Grokipedia’s launch, I wrote about the toxic information sewage pipeline powering X, one that hundreds of millions of people rely on as their first source of information. Now that Grokipedia is here, I fear this is what information aggregators may look like more and more.

Polygon introduced me to my best friends, brought me to NYC, and gave me the life I’m so eternally grateful to live now.

Deeply devastating, and it means a bunch of reporters, writers, and editors (+ video!) will soon be available to hire. They are everything.

Polygon forever and always.

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.

We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Google Schadenfreude and Media's Vindication Two landmark verdicts may not change the internet, but it validated the people who built it

Happy Easter, I spent the weekend writing 3,000 words about the Google schadenfreude occurring right now and how it symbolizes how bad the open web became when gatekeepers stopped being directories to keep everyone hostage within their own ecosystems. postingnexus.substack.com/p/google-sch...

This Christmas, the NFL will host 3 games, encroaching on the NBA’s 5-game holiday tradition. Is this the latest tactic in a cold war against the NBA, or is a monster day of sports-streaming big enough for both leagues?

I like Bill Burr cause he doesn't try to explain it, doesn't try to understand it, he just constantly says "the billionaires are no longer happy being billionaires, that's weird man" and it really is just as simple as "why are you guys so fucking unhappy -- you won??"

This, from Neon's Tom Quinn, strikes at the heart of "implausibly big or devotedly small" framework I've used to talk about how success in media looks like in an empire + island world.

Case in point: Apple finally adding RCS support in iMessage means my friend groups doesn't have to go through eight different WhatsApp channels to talk to two friends on Android.

Pro-consumer regulation and pressure is Good. And hey -- Apple even "beat" Meta in that instance.

Apple restricts Pebble from being awesome with iPhones I’m surprised that you’re surprised

Apple's restrictive, monopolistic App Store practices make experiences for every single person unwilling to solely buy Apple products a terrible experience. Good blog on this from Eric Migi/Pebble team.

As Rich Rodriguez bans TikTok dancing, what would Nick Saban say? | Toppmeyer West Virginia football coach Rich Rodriguez went to a place where President Donald Trump refused to go: He cracked down on TikTok.

Granted West Virginia isn't exactly 'Bama or LSU, but wild choice to make in the NIL Era of College Sports.

Such a good way of putting it. I love that. And it's like the first fish that bit was a goldfish, so the ocean seemed relatively harmless to the untrained eye, even if piranha and great whites and orcas were never too far away.

Not to mention that, unsurprisingly, The Dress being a viral moment from Buzzfeed but having the conversation play out on early social (mainly Twitter and Facebook) was all the engagement learning data needed to train algorithms to produce More Of That Whenever Possible, Natural or Manufactured.

Excellent Garbage Day on Gavin Newsom's podcast and the wrong lessons Newsom took from the right's unparalleled dominant force online.

It's the Bravofication of it all. The tactics that make you very successful on a Bravo show also work on the internet. www.garbageday.email/p/gavin-news...
