If you get a moment today, please watch my film about the last 18 months living with long covid. I think I can safely say it's the most important thing I've ever made youtu.be/Fm8WsO_FQYk

Hire James! He is a great, ambitious editor who sweats the details. He is also a compassionate newsroom leader who works to make writers feel supported and listened to.

I’ve been laid off from WIRED. I’ve worked here for almost a decade in a bunch of different roles—reporter, culture editor, digital editor, news editor. It’s hard to be leaving such an incredible team.

"Forgotten, unheard, disbelieved, isolated" - some of the words used by people with secondary illnesses triggered by long Covid. @LizJJackson1 has been speaking to people who have been largely suffering in silence.

OK, so I may be biased, but I wholeheartedly agree with @guardian today. @PeterKGeoghegan's excellent new Democracy for Sale substack isn't to be missed. (Had some sneak previews of what's coming up next, too...) Sign up here 👇democracyforsale.substack.com

There's a tale & a half behind this story. But for now, I'm dedicating this to all the tech bros who told me - *still tell me* - that Cambridge Analytica was 'snake oil'. Snake oil + hacking + black ops + a Russian spy... With the great @skirchy theguardian.com/world/2023/feb…


Funny that after all those columns insisting that AI isn't anything to worry about because it can't be creative, the problem turns out to be that it's way too creative


Good roundup of Amazon’s current difficulties which includes this nugget. If “just walk out” shopping is so good, why isn’t it more widespread? on.ft.com/3lBv3WA

I read this book years ago and I still think about it all the time. A wonderful philosophical novel by one of the best writers working today

My Real Children, winner of the Tiptree and RUSA Awards, my 2015 novel about a woman with dementia who remembers two different versions of her own life in two different alternate histories is only $3.99 as an ebook right now amazon.com/My-Real-Childr…



This is incredible

ChatGPT (black pieces) tried chess. It was an absolute fucking disaster. (from r/AnarchyChess on Reddit)

Telling that all the early access shots of Bing + ChatGPT are on desktop because there's no way this is going to work on mobile

This is really cool: you can ask Bing for context on the page you’re looking at without giving it any additional context.
