Per a note to Boston Globe staff today, the lesbian bar story generated 1,000 subscriptions to the paper yesterday. The Globe’s managing editor said it was “by far our best performing story of the year,” and appears to be “on pace to shatter all sorts of Globe records.”

WAIT A MINUTE! I was told repeatedly that AI would not replace journalists; that it would ENHANCE our work; that it would expedite the rote, tedious elements of our job so we could focus on "getting coffee with sources" and tackling ambitious projects. Something fishy going on...
A week after McClatchy laid off journalists nationwide, the newspaper chain announced their replacements:
Editors for a new “innovation lab” focused on AI-generated lifestyle articles.
“Celebrating Our Team,” execs wrote in an email about the hires.

The president said it plainly in the Oval Office, describing his own planned action as a “ban on the free press.”
The Constitution protects the freedom of the press from government interference. That protection does not depend on whether the president likes a news organization’s coverage, agrees with its reporting, or approves of the questions its journalists ask.
This is about more than the rights of journalists. It is about the right of the American people to receive a full and independent account of the activities, policies and decisions of whoever occupies the nation’s highest office.
The WHCA stands in defense of our colleagues at CNN, MSNOW, and POLITICO who are being singled out for doing their jobs.

Ted Cruz on AI: “I'd rather they be American killer robots and not Chinese killer robots.”
He told our @DashaBurns that there needs to be “rules and guardrails” around AI but said that slowing down is an “impossible endeavor.”👇🧵
