I cameo in this newsletter! @broderick takes a run at explaining why that All Eyes On Rafah AI image went viral in a way no real image did, suggesting that its a combo of being able to evade platform censorship, and being so refined that it can be easily and unknowingly adopted

No better way to sum up Apple than it being a company relentlessly obsessed with destroying stuff that functions, can be repaired at home, and can be passed down to future generations, and replacing it with a fragile technology that will break the moment a raindrop hits it

AI is killing the web with spam sites, mass article producing “AI editors”, AI-generated junk on Etsy, Reddit, and Wikipedia that exhausts moderators, and more

this is an insane story but also not dissimilar at all to the Kremlin using paid influencers in the exact same way. we talk about “the first social media war” but perhaps a more accurate observation it's the first conflict with so much uniformity in propaganda https://twitter.com/...
