For all its naysayers Gutenberg is a game changer for digital news apps. Its a force multiplier for your team. We've spent the last 3 years going "all in" on block development. Here's a little thread of what's possible with the right investment into Gutenberg

It was marketed as: - 2 years until permanent underclass - you’ll all lose your jobs - your skills will be worthless - we’re going to replace you - your entire career is now a $20/month subscription All in an already terrible job market btw. Possibly the most important technology humanity has ever built, with some of the worst marketing imaginable. The labs completely failed communicating the tech, miserably bad and only improved just end of last year. How did anyone expect that to make people excited?

it's pretty bleak to me how unpopular AI is in spite of how transformatively useful it is

Look, if building data centers counts as economic development even though it mostly only creates short-term jobs, then we should be able to build high-speed rail even if nobody rides it (though they will). Because jobs.

Lmfao shameless people. This is NOT a chart showing Kalshi is good at predicting outcomes. It reacts to and capitalizes on outcomes shortly ahead of their realization. They do nothing to predict the future.

The NYT STARTED their needle at 8:37pm Kalshi was already at 99% house, 98% Senate The future of news is real time and markets based 💚

In April a lot of people laughed when Olivia Reingold made up that El-Sayed had “narrowed his eyes” while answering a question about Israel, but actually it was quite sinister and a clear cut case of fabulism that should’ve cost her her job. She is not a real journalist

I wrote about the very funny and ridiculous but also not-funny and ominous @TheFP episode this week, in which @Olivia_Reingold fabricated a detail to advance an Islamophobic narrative—plus the Israeli gov't rewarding its most violent settlers after the condemnations faded. 🔗👇

Apple is building an explicit-memory store for Siri AI. Memory records are queried via full-text (BM25) and vector search, then merged via RRF. Siri’s chat recall in 27.2 uses the same search pipeline to find past chats. Built on the Kuzu graph database Apple acquired.
