I feel like there’s a Venn diagram in here with considerable overlap…

It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

This is tomorrow’s front page for The Minnesota Star Tribune. In a moment in which much of legacy media are enabling and condoning the worst actions of the Trump admin, the reporters and editors of the Star Tribune are not holding back one bit.

The stunning art trove hidden in a D.C. building marked by Trump for disposal Packed with frescoes, paintings and reliefs, the federal government’s Cohen Building has been called “the Sistine Chapel of the New Deal.” Advocates fear these works could be at risk.

Trump is planning to demolish an invaluable piece of Social Security history.

how excited were these scientists? Full-circle Newton moment.

Zero, likely.

Montage of creative works entering the public domain in the US in 2026.

When the clock strikes midnight on January 1, creative works from 1930 & sound recordings from 1925 will enter the public domain in the US, like:

💄 Dizzy Dishes, first Betty Boop cartoon
🕵️♀️ First 4 Nancy Drew novels
🚂 The Little Engine That Could
🎩 Morocco
🍑 Georgia on My Mind
and many more!

It’s the errors. Why use something that produces inferior output? I’m still looking for a way for Ai to do my laundry so I have more time to be creative (and factually correct)

This year being heralded with black cat energy seems pretty auspicious to me.

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

Yeah. This seems bad. Probably the best use of Ai right now is in revealing integrity and structural issues.

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

"A truly historic accomplishment," says NPR ( @npr.org ) President & CEO Katherine Maher: “1 trillion web pages. That’s 1 trillion artifacts & snapshots of our interconnected world.”

The most insanely frustrating thing about the #ClimateCrisis is how the breakthrough we so clearly need isn’t technological. It’s just a collective willingness, a determination even, to change in ways that would clearly be SO MUCH BETTER than the clear and obvious consequences of NOT changing.

AI art does not exist. It is an oxymoron.

you know him

My gut feeling right now is that once we get past this AI LLM boom and bust cycle, the skill of knowing how to have an imagination and how to create stories with your own human skill will be even more valuable than before. I would spend this time learning how to do everything you can to nurture that

But I was told AI will replace historians

Right? Are we saving time, or losing authenticity? I mean, the answer is “both,” but where do we place the value?

The process of doing things - like making art or making history - is joyful. It’s messy, complicated, and frustrating, but it’s also creating something from nothing, all on your own. And it is a joy.

Boosting for visibility. Once again for the back:

AI is not human and it is not good at telling human stories.

You know, your own imagination is far more wonderful Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood

Than any computer could ever be. You know why? Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood

You’re a living human being. And a computer is just a machine. Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood

Human beings are far more wonderful than machines. Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood

Mister Rogers never misses

The monolith stands against a cosmic backdrop with a glowing light behind it, evoking a sense of scale and wonder. The Internet Archive logo appears in the lower left corner.

This October, the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine is projected to hit a once-in-a-generation milestone: 1 trillion web pages archived.

We’ll be commemorating this historic achievement on October 22 with a global celebration ➡️ blog.archive.org/2025/07/01/w...
