Research suggests people who use AI tools to find news seem to prefer them over clicking on individual stories, despite being conscious of their limits when it comes to accuracy. @aisvarya17.bsky.social and I wrote about what publishers can learn from this www.cjr.org/tow_center/a...
we for sure never said this but go off queen
tbh it's such a bummer to publish research that's very specific and scoped and then see people referencing in a way that totally misrepresents it. idk if this is an AI issue or a reading comprehension issue or a facts don't matter anymore issue
Shout out to @charlottetobitt.bsky.social from @pressgazette.co.uk and @klaudia.bsky.social from @towcenter.bsky.social who are monitoring AI copyright cases. These were tremendously helpful in researching my latest article:

cover of The Washington Post on Wednesday Feb 4, 2026. Headline on bottom, right: Musk wanted to hook users; his chatbot got more sexual
My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. Iβm also among 100βs of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valleyβs political power
journalists are workers who deserve to be paid fairly for our labor and I think that far too few consumers of media recognize or even care about this fact

Very interesting new work from my @towcenter.bsky.social colleagues - building on excellent @wired.com article on LLMs and breaking news. Who is making decisions on when to βturn onβ web search for chatbots and when not to? www.cjr.org/tow_center/a...
When ChatGPT said that the US capture of Maduro didn't happen, Wired characterized it was "expected behavior." But @aisvarya17.bsky.social and I think AI platforms' failure to activate web search for a breaking news-related query is not expected, it's a product defect. www.cjr.org/tow_center/a...
AI platforms have the capacity to search the web to answer questions about the news. But sometimes they choose not to, which can result in wildly inaccurate outputs.
This has real consequences for journalism, public understanding, and the information landscape. www.cjr.org/tow_center/a...

People are being executed in the street over a problem that straight up does not exist and both parties are complicit in the lie
Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos has still not said anything publicly about federal agents raiding the home of one of his reporters last week.
He is, however, using his X account to refute apparent misinformation about himself within a few hours of it being posted.
I read this paragraph four times. Not because it's murky, but to let the message sink in. www.cjr.org/tow_center/b...
If an information company is clear and determined in supporting (not "saving') democracy, then it can be a home for good journalism. If not then the press must disengage. Now.
