Great – looks as if the White House used AI to draft a health report and wound up inserting citations for articles that don’t exist. They put cheating high schoolers to shame. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/29/w...

For TechCrunch, I wrote about Thinkst Canary, a bootstrapped maker of honeypots (for catching hackers), which this month marks its 10th anniversary. The company now brings in $20 million in ARR without VC funding or an outbound sales team. Refreshing at a time when cyber is dominated by VC dollars.

Insane this isn’t a bigger global story. Climate change is causing glacier collapse in the Alps. The Swiss town of Blatten was destroyed yesterday. The few buildings that survived the 3.5 million cubic metres of landslide are now slowly drowning as the collapsed mountain damns the river. (🎥 AFP)

I know a lot of my fellow professionals think more highly of AI*cough*notactualGenAI*cough*correctnomenclatureisLLM*cough* than I do, but it amazes me how blind ceos like Jassy are to reality. He just wants to cut human workers and their cost. Stupid Harvard MBAs stocks.apple.com/AQDdEVi3qTxq...

Day by day, we’re seeing the Justice Department effectively decriminalize and wave away crimes by Trump’s friends and instead selectively focus investigatory resources on Trump’s adversaries and enemies. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/crime-is-n...

Paramilitaries, you say? 🤔 Since they’re not in uniform & have no ID, we actually have absolutely no idea who they are. Maybe they’re ICE. Who knows?
