Factors converging on the news industry to hollow it out, weaken the product, scare investors, and threaten jobs: 1/ With a few exceptions, the search for a stable business model has been unsuccessful, in part because the problem changes faster than R & D in the news business.

Attorney General Pamela Bondi

At my direction, early this morning federal agents arrested Don Lemon, Trahern Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lydell Lundy, in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. More details soon.

For those confused why the US state and Silicon Valley are having a meltdown on twitter today. China released multiple AI models that are 50x more efficient than the best American AI models and made them open source, ruining the AI market

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

I am very excited about AI, but to go off-script for a minute: I built an app with Codex last week. It was very fun. Then I started asking it for ideas for new features and at least a couple of them were better than I was thinking of. I felt a little useless and it was sad.

Hi! I'm one of the prompt writers that worked on this ad. It's a lot harder than people think! Prompts that my team used include: -make it funny -make it epic AND funny -funnier!!! Please be nice to my team as many of them will be laid off/replaced by AI

It’s patently absurd that Apple isn’t smart enough to make their own AI, yet is somehow capable of ensuring that OpenAI will protect your security & privacy! Apple has no clue what’s actually going on once they hand your data over to OpenAI. They’re selling you down the river.

"Jailed reporters, silenced networks: What Trump says he'd do to the media if elected" by NPR's @davidfolkenflik is a model of "not the odds, but the stakes" reporting. It collects the facts and sounds the alarm without a trace of 'both sides do it.' t.co

Never thought I would see "Meet the Press" publicly disssent from a decision made by NBC News, but it happened today. Chuck Todd to Kristen Welker: "Our bosses owe you an apology." Then two other panelists explained on air why hiring Ronna McDaniel is such a credibility disaster.

My quote in this article: “You have to look at Gannett and the other big newspaper chains not as media companies but as financial firms. They see newspapers as declining assets, and they ask themselves how they can squeeze a few more years of profit out of those assets.”

I mention this for a simple reason: Some of the wounds are self-inflicted. This thread is input. For the output go to CNN: "News industry off to brutal 2024 start as mass layoffs devastate publishers, raising questions about the future of journalism." t.co 13/

Last week CNN asked me how I explain the downturn in the news industry: big layoffs, scant investment, no recovery in sight. A list of factors is not an explanation, I said. But that is what I have. So here's my thread. None of it should be news to people in the business. 0/

The respected editor of the Los Angeles Times, Kevin Merida, abruptly resigned last week after getting fed up with owner interference in the newsroom. Sharon Waxman and Alexei Barrionuevo from @TheWrap share what they have learned. t.co A lot that's alarming.
