prediction: AI will displace the quiet beauty of the first nice day of spring, the ecstasy of knowing others and being known, the thrill of a perfectly timed joke, and the wonder of little quotidian discoveries
Prediction: AI will displace social drinking within 5 years
Just as alcohol is a social disinhibitor, like the Steve Martin movie Roxanne, people will use AI powered earbuds to help them socialize. At first we'll view it as creepy, but it will quickly become superior to alcohol

3 years ago today, 30+ journalists published a coordinated series of articles about Facebook's "war room" for election interference. To get inside it, outlets had to agree to FB's conditions & schedule
FB shuttered the war room a few weeks later once it'd gotten press coverage
Right now 30+ journalists are finishing up a coordinated series of articles based on thousands of pages of leaked documents. We hear that to get the docs, outlets had to agree to the conditions and a schedule laid down by the PR team that worked on earlier leaked docs.

it is cheaper because it is being manufactured by imprisoned people who are being forced to make goods by a company that routinely pays them 65 cents an hour for their labor. absolutely horrifying.

even “paid” internships box out lower income students. $10-$15/hr, capped at 30 hours a week, with no stipend for housing or food is non viable in NYC or SF
only students with a significant safety net or already established housing can afford to intern at most major outlets
Ever wondered why newsrooms/mainstream media outlets are disproportionately white? Especially when it comes to leadership?
The unpaid internship.
They could afford to live in NYC for a summer w/o pay; they then had the necessary experience/contacts to stay & rise the ranks
