Don't know how long Hollywood will be open to putting out big features that are so explicitly critical about Silicon Valley darlings, but I do think projects like You Can See Everything, Musk, and Artificial are going to remind audiences how these people are ruining society

You get the sense that these filmmakers are trying to tell stories that are meant to resonate with audiences whose views of Big Tech have long begun to dim. But it also feels like some of Hollywood’s biggest studios are embracing the idea that the tech backlash isn’t letting up anytime soon.

It's "as though there were aliens that came to Earth and then just left, we would be studying this for the next 10 years, trying to understand everything." @theroberthart.bsky.social talked to three dozen mathematicians about OpenAI's drop. Gift link:

Careers upended overnight, academics will have to separate solutions from slop while OpenAI moves on.

Good news: I have a Googlebook to test. Bad news: I gave up on posting this from the laptop, using photos from my phone, because it was so excruciatingly slow transferring the files. Fingers crossed these are just teething pains while my laptop and phone get to know each other

I think The Social Reckoning will be a useful recollection of events for people who didn't follow Haugen's story and the WSJ's reporting in real time. But the film doesn't really work as an entertaining thriller or a revelatory critique of Zuckerberg and Meta. My review:

The Verge@theverge.com · last wk.

The film does an excellent job of presenting our present day reality as the end result of events Zuckerberg and Facebook helped facilitate. But for all of its insight, The Social Reckoning still feels like a feature that’s arriving a little too late to have a meaningful impact.
