When I left the Washington Post in 2023, my colleagues and I were worried AI would hoover up our work and enable "zombies" to churn out stories based on our reporting and writing styles. Today WaPo announced a partnership with OpenAI. And here it is: Zombie Gillian Brockell. I DID NOT WRITE THIS.

Deeply saddened to hear of the Pope's passing this morning. He did so much to refocus the message of the Church and be a living example of Christ's compassion. Hopefully his successor continues his work.

Quoting Supreme Court decisions specifically related to the government's efforts to restrict civil liberties during the height of the Red Scare is also not a great way to make your actions look sane and normal.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

🚨 BREAKING: The Supreme Court just ruled that Trump must return Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia to the United States after they wrongly deported him to a Salvadoran prison. This is a massive win for justice and the rule of law. Now Trump must comply.

A lot of tech industry types have embraced AI because it allows them to not only be vastly wealthy, but to become the high priest intermediaries between the rest of humanity and a God of their own creation. It presents a vision of absolute power that extends far beyond simply getting rich.
