I read through a few of the remedy pages in the Google antitrust PDF. My expectations were extremely low for any sort of actual breakup. Sharing search index data with “qualified” competitors seems good, though. Kagi could use that, and of course all the AI companies will want it.

You might be a WordPresser if… If you identified with two or more of these statements, I am afraid to inform you might be classified as a WordPresser. What did I miss?

Even though I think AI is incredibly useful and in some cases even empowering, I’m open to the idea that kids should rarely use it, just as they should rarely use social media. When in doubt, limiting use to 18+ is okay. At the very least, I don’t think it’s a simple question.

How you know you’re reallllly old. You tell Alexa to play songs by Elton John and you find yourself singing along with Crocodile Rock with tears streaming down your face. Then they play Philadelphia Freedom. Mama mia. The thing about Crocodile Rock is that it's twice-nostalg...

In March, as part of President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, the United States sent more than 250 migrants, the majority being Venezuelan nationals, to El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center, a megaprison often referred to by its Spanish acronym, CECOT.  In ...

I don’t really understand Tesla’s latest master plan (post on Twitter / X) and I’m not going to think too hard about it, but the included illustration bugs me, especially the couple walking next to their baby stroller while a robot pushes it. AI is fine. Humanoid robots are a mistake.

Molly White covers recent activity on betting markets:

Prediction market platforms Kalshi and Polymarket opened betting markets on President Donald Trump being “out as president” as social media platforms erupted over the long weekend with rumors that he had died.

What a crazy world we’re living in. Trump survived a bad case of Covid before vaccines. He survived getting shot at. I wouldn’t bet on tomorrow let alone end of the year. 🇺🇸

The TT-inspired roadster debuts Audi's new strategy for “radical simplicity”—and it looks terrific.

President Trump’s deregulatory agenda emboldened prediction markets to push boundaries around permitted event contracts. Now sites advised by his son are allowing bets on his death.

Days before the start of the 2025 season, Naomi Osaka made an ominous remark about her future in tennis. "I don't think I'm the type of player that would hang around," Osaka said, if her ranking didn't improve. "I'd rather spend time with my daughter if I'm not where I think...

Earlier this year, Fonda made headlines for delivering a fiery critique of the Trump administration during a SAG-AFTRA award acceptance speech. "This is not the time to go inward," Fonda says. She spoke with Tonya Mosley about her career onscreen and off, as an activist.

This is a good change from OpenAI:

We’ll soon begin to route some sensitive conversations—like when our system detects signs of acute distress—to a reasoning model, like GPT‑5-thinking, so it can provide more helpful and beneficial responses, regardless of which model a person first selected.

Essentially, if the model notices the user is having a mental health challenge, it should slow down and use the best reasoning model, just as it would for other hard problems. There will also be new parental controls.

Fresh off the heels of the only disappointing 9-4 record in college football, Alabama fans this year must have been hoping to see a new Crimson Tide that looked more like the old ones. After a strong first drive in their season opener against Florida State on Saturday, it se...

When I received the email, I was holding a piece of toast. Dry, no butter. I remember this vividly because it was the last thing in my life with a clearly defined purpose. “You got tenure!” my partner said, beaming. “Oh! That’s… great,” I replied. “I think?” And so it began....
