🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances. Weird, right? I didn’t hold back. I blasted their sanewashing of MAGA extremism.

Seeing on LinkedIn that one of the early AI adopters in economics, who had published a 14-agent pipeline for producing papers and lecture slides, is now souring on the tech after being subjected to peer review requests for slop papers

My favorite doorknobs are the ones the New York City public schools installed at the turn of the 20th century. You can still occasionally find one on eBay!

This is a real photo from 1913. It hasn’t been colorized. It was made using a technique called the Autochrome Lumière which captured true color using microscopic dyed starch grains as color filters, decades before color film existed. Pretty incredible, no? More below 👇

if there tiktok videos sending up your software, and they go uber-viral because *everyone has experienced your software doing what they're making fun of*, maybe it's, like, bad software?
