“Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo, buffalo Buffalo buffalo.”
The above sentence actually means something and is grammatically correct.
Come with us on this journey where the buffalo roam.

16. Norway Is So Damn Rich
In 2022, Norway's oil fund was larger than the combined wealth of the 10 richest people in the world.
It makes $1 billion per week -- and holds 1.4% of the world's shares.

2. The Rise Of Negative Media
Since 2010, the media massively increased headlines that use fear, anger, disgust, and sadness.
It has also decreased articles of neutrality and joy.
It's no surprise that few media outlets are covering this meta point.

Deja vu.
I'm told Facebook is announcing tomorrow it will block ALL news for 5% of Canada starting Monday. When FB ran this play in Australia, it was a global intimidation playbook. Canada is at finish line to pass similar law #C18. #ParliamentStayStrongAgainstBullyMonopolist

What Wikipedia did: we stood strong for our principles and fought to the Supreme Court of Turkey and won. This is what it means to treat freedom of expression as a principle rather than a slogan.
Did your brain fall out of your head, Yglesias? The choice is have Twitter throttled in its entirety or limit access to some tweets. Which one do you want?

At the @guardian we've been quite quiet about generative AI. It's mainly because we're treating a complex topic with the care it requires. Here's my piece on journalism, responsibility and why, in some crucial respects, nothing has changed theguardian.com/commentisfre…

ChatGPT is trained on a large amount of news data from top sources that fuel its AI. It's unclear whether OpenAI has agreements with all of these publishers. Scraping data without permission would break the publishers' terms of service.

Here is how #platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. 1/
