A Wikipedia editor put it well: "You almost want to pat them on the head and say 'Yes, of course it will' in the same way you'd tell a small child that Santa Claus will be delivering their presents."

Other platforms will soon follow, a senior administration official told POLITICO on Tuesday. “We got Lake America changed on Google Maps, and many other maps are changing in a couple days. And Wikipedia is going to change as well,” said the official, who was granted anonymity to speak frankly.

“The New Gods have a god for everything! What is their personification of death, Jack Kirby?” “Hrmm. He’s a guy on skis! He’s a war veteran (like me).” Hey, he invented the Silver Surfer too. Happy Birthday Jack Kirby!

Algorithms killed the spectrum of emotional valences. Everything now is set to 10. Bring back the eyeroll, the exasperated sigh, the hand wave, the shoulder shrug. Some stuff is just mildly annoying or blandly dumb. You don’t need to blow every emotional outburst on the mundane.

8) SV has really screwed up a number of marketing-related things lately, AI chief among them. They don’t appear to have even been correct about it slashing headcount, but what a world-historic idiot thing to lead with anyway.
