We should know from Jeremy Allen White that a white t-shirt is not just a white t-shirt. The chances of a stylist or a tailor being involved are non-zero. And between her Chanel watch and his Loro Piano sneakers there's at $10,000 worth of clothes and accessories in frame.

I'm a data scientist @ourworldindata.org and I need help from a botanist or someone local to Kyoto, Japan! 🌸

We present one of the world’s longest climate records: 1,200 years of peak cherry blossom dates in Kyoto.

The researcher who maintained it, Prof. Yasuyuki Aono, sadly passed away last year.

I feel like that's a pattern established by the wire services, which is now being repurposed to imply market moving, breaking news without the attribution that could undercut it.

I personally use "dumb question" as an ice breaker for questions of any level, but I have seen what happens when there's an insecure leader or a power dynamic.

I think you have to look at it through the lens of organizational and societal trust. Is there safety to reveal your vulnerability? Who gets to do that?

Everything we've learned about Taco Bell AI suggests AI causes that.

The thing is, it's hard to build on this technology without making a series of ethical compromises, each required to get things done. Text generation has inherent political and social dimensions. And agentic systems supplant human agency to some degree.

You can also see the self-empowerment argument for vibe coding in the choice to mass personalize feeds, which was always part of the promise of the app, but which in practice I bet few have done.
