Facebook isn't "encouraging" more free speech or "pivoting" away from facts. I suspect they're forecasting that more ragebait and less moderation will provide a boost to a stagnating platform. FB DAU is flat and engagement is declining. Someone believes the way back is to set the platform on fire.
Hope the LA Times is being sure to print the fire’s point of view too.
I’m personally excited about Chicago’s future summers mirroring, checks graphic, Dallas-Ft. Worth! Awesome!
Seen at O’Hare … “Shall I describe it to you, or would you like me to find you a box?”
Enjoy autumn in the greater Chicagoland area.
I’m really liking the WhatsApp publisher channels. The ability to compare alerts and messaging is great, too. Kudos to NYT here for the right touches.
This is not what readers want. And no, this is objectively worse.
Generative AI has a lot of potential to help newsrooms, but there’s many caveats and cautions that publishers should heed at the moment. And some serious risks in the near future

Allowing generative AI to tell me what eat part 3: chicken vindaloo. Prompt: “suggest a classic Indian recipe with chicken. It should be medium spicy. It should not have curry.”
Week two of generative AI picking my meal. Tonight is shrimp étouffée. Prompt was “Suggest a Cajun-inspired dinner with seafood. Medium spicy. Also suggest what it should be served with as a side dish.” It suggested 5 items; I picked rice and cornbread.
Hi NYC. Bye NYC.
I’m letting Bard and ChatGPT pick my dinner. Tonight is garlic butter chicken with mashed potatoes. Prompt was “Suggest a Midwest chicken recipe with garlic. Also suggest a side dish”

From a current Yorkville resident to a former one, welcome.
No
All the fire emojis. There are none left for anyone else to use.
Many people are annoyed by those fake random spam/phish texts, but I view them as a narrative opportunity
I went on a quest to find out if AI is already secretly writing some of the stuff we read online. I found more than I ever imagined.
From online recipes to mattress reviews to celebrity horoscopes, human writing is fast becoming the exception on the internet, rather than the rule. My story today:
@support.bsky.team friend is seeing a 403 error on the account creation screen when setting handle. This a known error and what’s the fix?
I hope something loves you as much as my tiny dog loves car rides.
