Although the scale of this is still to be assessed, this is the inevitable outcome of the monetization of the algorithm. Rage-bait becomes a personal revenue model. Nothing about this should be a surprise.

Between this and Sean Duffy and telling us to dress nicer on planes, I think we need fifty New York Times op-eds about the GOP's "scoldy elitism" problem.

the entire beltway media complex is rotten all the way through, I truly believe Nuzzi's just the worst at hiding it
The more Lizza writes the more he indicts himself in serious ethical lapses but there are a lot of editors and publishers who are complicit here, too.
The whole thing is just gross.
(And shout out to the serious journalists who do good work. You deserve better peers and a healthier industry.)

Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.

In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

Normally I would say that the United States military is as close to unstoppable in a direct military conflict as exists in this cherry-blossom World.
With these incompetents in charge? All bets are off. Particularly with the new kind of war in Ukraine which I'm not confident in our ability to fight

The Trump team's actions are _so_ focused on how to do the most damage to America that 'do damage' has to be the intentional plan. America pushed them down on the playground in 1st grade and they've lived their lives to get revenge.
If there is any field in America that's a growth industry over the next few decades, it's medicine. So of course the Trump administration is pulling this move.

Really excellent point that often gets lost in the (deserved) mockery.
These things are not neutral arbiters of truth. They are easily manipulated extensions of the ideology of their creators.
The attempt to shove them into every conceivable knowledge space is an explicitly political project.

The grok stuff is pathetic but it’s also a perfect and undeniable illustration of chatbots as ideology. It’s no less true for chatgpt or other bots, but sometimes not as visible.
