Me talking to anyone with a Pulitzer.
Denzel Washington says he doesn’t do movies for Oscars & doesn’t care about them. “Man gives the award. God gives the reward… On my last day, Oscars aren’t going to do me a bit of good”. (Source: @JakesTakes)

I’ve got an amazing idea for a “Harold & Maude” reboot.
With today’s young men and women increasingly polarized over politics, Gen Z is facing a sexual apocalypse.

I'm so excited to help an incredibly talented team tell the biggest stories in the business world at the best paper around. (But I'm also quite excited to spend a few weeks riding my bike/cooking for my family/cleaning my garage first.).

Sadly, this means I won't get much of a chance to work with @delaney, someone I've admired for years. But I'm excited for all my @sfstandard colleagues to have such a phenomenal new newsroom leader.

This scenario where we realize p(doom) is high and then motivate to do something about it doesn't make sense to me. Isn't the argument that AGI takeoff/breakout would happen so fast it would be impossible to respond?.
Google's CEO says there's a high risk that the technology Google is trying to build will cause human extinction, but he's optimistic that humanity will rise up and do something about this

The “brave fighter pilots” in question were, of course, bomber pilots, who are not fighter pilots.
Karoline Leavitt, a WH spokeswoman, said it was “flat-out wrong.”. “The leaking of this alleged assessment is a clear attempt to demean President Trump, and discredit the brave fighter pilots who conducted a perfectly executed mission to obliterate Iran’s nuclear program.".

Mike Bloomberg has hired hundreds of paid "digital organizers" to boost his presidential bid on social media. A look inside the operation reveals potential downsides to this approach.
Was stopped on Eastern Parkway by a Cuomo canvasser and she told me she was voting for Zohran lol.
