The crypto rollercoaster continues, and my book "Cryptomania," which follows the insane drama of the last bull run, is out today!! Thank you for the kind words @esquire! https://t.co/m79aEZOqDH

This is an incredible piece on the Recap Era, but specifically the strange way that online writing form both follows and jets past its own economic context. If @knguyen wanted to write, say, a book about this broad phenomenon, I'd read it!

Twitter died this year. We published a series to reflect on what the platform was—really, to say goodbye
This website used to be Twitter. It was never the biggest social network, but for over a decade, it was easily the fastest, most influential, and funniest platform https://t.co/niXczGS1QF

If you worked in a newsroom over the past two decades, you probably encountered the dark art of "SEO." Here is the story of the people who got very rich doing it, and how it broke the web. "The People Who Ruined the Internet" by @msamandalewis

SEO experts got very rich filling the web full of garbage. But are they to blame or is Google?

For the last four years, my family and I have been stalked by a self-described racist who hates Asians. I've never even met her, but she wants us dead. Authorities have been mostly indifferent. I talked about it publicly for the first time with @verge: https://t.co/C3a9ycqUY7 1/

It didn’t matter if she knew you — if you were a professor and Asian American, you were a potential target.

Stalkers are not uncommon in the academic world unfortunately. I gave this interview a year ago and now it is out in @verge. As some of you know, Sara Hunter has been harassing me for years. This is a story about racism and police inaction. (1/8)

My favorite detail (out of many) in this story is that while GPT-4 can generate reams and reams of text, it cannot identify the adjectives in a sentence.

How many humans does it take to make tech seem human? Millions.
