Inside the DOGE Takeover of the Federal Government In early 2025, Americans first learned about the takeover of the federal government by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). DOGE had been operating under a veil of secrecy, with l...

Really proud of us at @wired.com for this. The work we did on DOGE is some of the work I am personally proudest of, and it's amazing to see that work and impact recognized.

Facebook and Instagram Tighten Censorship Rules for Saying “Antifa” Meta’s new rules let it ban users or suppress comments that include the word “antifa” alongside “content-level threat signals.”

Meta recently added new restrictions around "Antifa content" on Facebook and Instagram. Internal documents I reviewed show it applies when a user merely uses the word "Antifa" in a post.

Post from me from December 2024 that says RFK Jr. is not trained in any area of medicine or science. He has never applied for a research grant, conducted an experiment, or published a peer-reviewed paper. We should never, EVER compromise with people who lie about vaccines and public health.

Post from me from December 2024 that says RFK Jr. is not trained in any area of medicine or science. He has never applied for a research grant, conducted an experiment, or published a peer-reviewed paper. We should never, EVER compromise with people who lie about vaccines and public health.

I have never wavered in my position that there can be no compromise with RFK Jr. He is a dangerous fraud who has caused incalculable damage to public health.

It’s extremely disappointing that the President of the American Medical Association was doing a photo op with RFK Jr. this morning.

Ai2 releases MolmoWeb, an open-weight visual web agent with 30K human task trajectories and a full training stack Ai2's MolmoWeb is the first open-weight visual web agent to ship with its full training dataset, giving enterprise teams the ability to audit, reproduce and fine-tune a browser agent without a per-call API dependency.

Computer use /Browser use is the next big thing for AI - Basically AI that does stuff for you in your browser. The problem is that until today, no one had a full open source version, with full open source training data to see how it all works.

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year.

Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants.

They are good for society and the economy.

Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI ‘Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics—without their consent.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.
