AI versus accuracy? We're willing to make the trade-off. When asking AI about the news, readers “know the answers they are getting are not perfect.” They keep asking anyway.

Research suggests people who use AI tools to find news seem to prefer them over clicking on individual stories, despite being conscious of their limits when it comes to accuracy. @aisvarya17.bsky.social and I wrote about what publishers can learn from this www.cjr.org/tow_center/a...

The Indicator guide to investigating ecommerce sites A practical walkthrough of the tools, techniques, and indicators used to analyze online stores and identify ecommerce fraud operations.

Ecommerce fraud is rampant. It's also easy to launch and hard to trace.

My new guide to investigating ecommerce sites covers how to ID the store platform, trace ownership, analyze traffic, do a safe test purchase etc. I also found a few free, new-to-me tools: indicator.media/p/the-indica...

Still great! Would love to see more of this from journalists in general, re the Twitch / streaming space

You and me trying to figure out Fortnite was one of the funniest things I've seen in a while

Trump shares video depicting Obamas as apes Tim Scott, the sole Black Republican in the Senate, called it ‘the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House.’

I suspect that the echo chamber of Truth Social and conservative media, along with X becoming a safe space for racism and extremism under Musk, has given our Republican leaders a deeply skewed idea of what ordinary Americans find acceptable www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

the only molt book I care about

I think “agent” may finally have a widely enough agreed upon definition to be useful jargon now I’ve noticed something interesting over the past few weeks: I’ve started using the term “agent” in conversations where I don’t feel the need to then define it, roll my eyes …
