My contribution to today’s discourse is a reminder that “The People vs O.J. Simpson” tv show is excellent and Sarah Paulson plays a very good Marcia Clark

I’ve been testing the Humane AI Pin for the last few weeks. I thought it would be really cool, but it's literally not. As in, it actually gets hot. My short video review here:

Really pleased the work Jeff Horwitz and I have done to investigate Meta's child-safety shortcomings is a finalist for a The Deadline Club Public Service Award. It's an honor to be named alongside so many other talented colleagues and peers -- full list here:

Not many sports stories are big enough for The Wall Street Journal to send as a news alert to subscribers.

This one is:

Cruise is resuming manual driving in Phoenix, a first step toward getting their driverless cars back on the road.

Interesting time for the industry with Tesla’s recent announcement of a robotaxi unveiling slated for August and Waymo’s expansions in LA and onto freeways.

New: Snap is turning off its paid friend-ranking feature, known as 'Solar System,' by default, citing concerns about its impact on the wellbeing of users.

The Information was the first to report on the feature's mental health impacts in January.

the west coast doesn't need the bacon egg and cheese. it has the clearly superior alternative: the breakfast burrito.

X is now saying that the original tweet *does* need a warning label after careful review and asked me to help improve their appeals process.

When I clicked on the link to do so, X warned me that the link may be unsafe and spammy. Very confused.

X put a warning on my tweet about Evan. Can you all still see it? I appealed the decision.

Powerful push alert from The Wall Street Journal this morning.

Today marks one year since our colleague Evan Gershkovich was picked up by Russian authorities and detained in a Russian prison unjustly.

Evan was just doing his job, not committing a crime. #FreeEvan #JournalismIsNotACrime

Friday’s front page.

For the latest issue of Fortune Magazine, I interviewed Cristóbal Valenzuela about his company, Runway. We talked about the tidal wave of change in the text-to-video AI space, the future of the entertainment industry, and of course, Sora. fortune.com/2024/03/28/run…

Interesting story from Andrew J. Hawkins 🚇🚌🚲🛴 in the Verge today about NYC welcoming robotaxis to the city, but only with safety drivers.

Worth noting that the self-driving Uber that struck and killed a woman in Tempe, AZ, in 2018 had a safety driver in the car.
