“My Word of the Year? Podcast“ by @nickfthilton.bsky.social.

This was a decent read on Medium.

Looks at how different generations view the meaning of the word podcast.

Baby boomers: it's a pre-recorded radio show?
Millennials: audio.
Gen Z: video/YouTube.

The New York Times reports on how David Sacks is using his position as the White House’s AI czar to benefit his investments and those of his friends.

While this sounds like conflict of interest, there’s an old Silicon Valley VC saying - “No conflict. No interest.”

Corruption is just good business.

this is very cool: Kodak quietly relisted Kodak Gold and Ultramax on its website and confirmed to me it is selling the films directly to photography stores again. this is a big deal because for the last decade, Kodak has not controlled distribution of its own film
