Here is a 2018 conversation between Jeff Bezos and German publisher Matthias Döpfner at a Business Insider event. Presumably, he is as crimson as a Washington State cherry today:

Freedom is when the boss tells you what to write and think. bsky.app/profile/maxt...

Don't let anyone tell you that you can't live your dreams

What to know about Elon Musk’s new chatbot, by Klaudia Jaźwińska and Aisvarya Chandrasekar. www.cjr.org/the_media_to...

Really excellent explainer by @shaynelongpre.bsky.social‬ that clearly lays out what's at stake in the "AI crawler wars"

Sure looks like Google News caught the Latin Times using a large language model to write an article picking up on my latest report

"In our experiment, Grok-3 identified the correct source article only 21 % of the time, answered prompts correctly only 5 out of 200 times, and never declined to answer. It frequently returned citations that looked genuine but were in fact broken or fabricated links" www.cjr.org/the_media_to...

More from @towcenter.bsky.social …Grok is every bit as good as you might imagine (ie not at all) at identifying news sources

What to know about Elon Musk’s new chatbot: On Musk, Grok, and the Press, by Klaudia Jaźwińska and Aisvarya Chandrasekar. www.cjr.org/the_media_to...

For @columjournreview.bsky.social, @aisvarya17.bsky.social and I tested Grok-3's ability to identify quotes from news publishers. Out of the 200 quotes we tested, 102 returned hallucinated citations and the original source article was correctly cited only nine times. www.cjr.org/the_media_to...

I resent the bad actors of this era for forcing me to live in a nightmarish reality where I have to make phone calls.

Fourteen publishers - Advance Local, Condé Nast, The Atlantic, Forbes, The Guardian, Business Insider, LA Times, McClatchy, Newsday, Plain Dealer Publishing Company, POLITICO, The Republican Company, Toronto Star, and Vox - are suing Cohere AI for copyright violations www.wsj.com/business/med...

The big takeaway here is that Reuters won this case against the AI company on grounds they violated fair use—the judge found the AI company was guilty because, in using copyrighted works to generate its output, it “meant to compete... by developing a market substitute.” Huge.

conferences should stop having panels and start having debates

Most people do have relatively fond feelings about Philadelphia and I really think it just comes down to being an American city with a sense of personality instead of it being a series of Applebees restaurants

I wish all Philadelphians a very Go Birds

1/ A thread about why the gutting of journalism, and local news in particular, is a main reason why we are here. And what you can do—constructively—to help. Let's start with the homepage of @dallasnews.com. Mostly sports. Almost nothing about what's happening in DC—THAT AFFECTS TEXANS

I’m so so sad about the world but I’m so so grateful for friendship

Our @towcenter.bsky.social researcher @klaudia.bsky.social on the changes AI is forcing for journalists labor negotiations, and some are getting concession (also features great paper by the excellent @mikeananny.bsky.social )

Excellent presentation at #IASEAI25 today by @juliaangwin.com, who stressed the importance of putting pressure on AI companies to prioritize accuracy and truth in their outputs (in this photo she’s citing research by the great @sayash.bsky.social and @randomwalker.bsky.social

In a Volatile Landscape for AI and Labor Rights, Journalists at ABC Secure a Win, by Klaudia Jaźwińska of the @towcenter.bsky.social. www.cjr.org/the_media_to...

I wrote for @columjournreview.bsky.social about the potential of journalism unions to help media workers get more say in how AI shapes their industry www.cjr.org/the_media_to...

Not heartened by the reporting from 404 and Wired in the sense that all the stuff they're reporting is very bad news, but at least inspired to see those reporters meeting the moment with tenacity and skill

AI is taking a toll on society that its wealthy creators don’t bear

help I can't stop calling DeepSeek "DeepSink". three people have corrected me and I still can't get it right

Reuters reports several digital news outlets in India, including the Indian Express and Hindustan Times, are suing OpenAI for improperly using copyrighted content. This follows Asian News International (ANI)'s lawsuit against the AI company in November www.reuters.com/technology/o...

The last few weeks have really highlighted just how fragile corporate social media is, and just how beholden to political power it is. To build any sort of ground-up power we must continue to invest in decentralized alternatives that are resistant to intervention www.404media.co/decentralize...

I feel like at some point the media needs to stop covering these announcements without actually using them. Can it actually do these things? has anyone seen them do it? How many times did it take to get it right?

The internet had the potential to make humans so much smarter and interconnected. Instead, it's dumbing us down and siloing us off. A real tragedy.

Mistral AI signed its first content licensing deal with French news agency Agence France-Presse. The multi-year agreement allows Mistral's conversational AI assistant (called "Le Chat" lol 🥐) to access all of AFP's stories across six languages www.afp.com/en/agency/in...

"Bad actors have attempted to piggyback off successful media outlets by republishing their work without permission for many years. Now, though, AI tools allow for variations on this scheme to proliferate at a newly accelerated pace." @knibbs.bsky.social

OpenAI announced its 16th content licensing partnership - this time with @axios.com. The arrangement also includes three years of funding for four new Axios Local newsrooms, in Pittsburgh PA, Kansas City MO, Boulder CO and Huntsville AL. The amount of $ was not disclosed. openai.com/index/partne...

The Associated Press, which was the first publisher to sign a licensing agreement with OpenAI, just inked a deal with Google to provide “a feed of real-time information” in Gemini techcrunch.com/2025/01/15/g...

This is my periodic rant that Apple Intelligence is so bad that today it got every fact wrong its AI a summary of @washingtonpost.com news alerts. It's wildly irresponsible that Apple doesn't turn off summaries for news apps until it gets a bit better at this AI thing.

If you don't live in LA and have been struggling to understand how much land the fires have encompassed, use this @calmatters.org tool to overlay the fires atop where you live, to get a sense of scale: calmatters.org/environment/... Great work by @jeremiak.com and John Osborn D'Agostino.

Meta is deleting links to Pixelfed, a decentralized, open source Instagram competitor that has had skyrocketing signups in recent days: www.404media.co/meta-is-bloc...

"It’s a 'you' problem that TikTok will happily serve up joke videos until the moment of your death."

Google is planning to roll out AI-generated news briefs on its TV devices toward the end of 2025, which will scrape stories from across the internet and YouTube techcrunch.com/2025/01/06/g...

Never in my career have I seen such a giant gulf between What Companies Think Is the Most Important Thing in the World and What Normal People Have Absolutely Any Interest in Whatsoever

Orgs like the BBC and Reporters Without Borders have asked Apple to pull its AI summarization feature, which has been pushing error-ridden news alerts to iPhone users. So far, Apple has only committed to updating the feature to clarify when summaries are AI-generated www.bbc.com/news/article...

Does it feel like tech is ceasing to evolve in ways that are useful to everyday people, and instead functions to control, placate and diminish us?

love how google ai goes into detail for all the men, and then for the women, it just goes "eh, some broad"
