The explicit goal of folks hyping AI in recent years has been to eliminate people’s jobs, which they’ve done in numerous sectors. Now they want to use it to eliminate jobs for real human doctors, at a time when our country already has worse health outcomes than most advanced industrialized countries

Normal people are out there doing extraordinary things. My mom's health aide emailed me: ICE took 2 of her neighbors; when she told them they weren't welcome, she was met w/a rifle. Now she's driving a neighbor to work hidden in the back of her car & escorting the neighbor's kids to the bus stop.

A lot of people cannot just start a paid newsletter or become freelancers to sustain their careers. The sports, metro, and international desks did work that requires *team* resources, like legal checks, documents, access to archives, and long-term beat experience.

no like literally I am sitting on so many stories that I don't have the legal protection to run at my newsletter and I can't find a newsroom with the money or resources to commission them
individual newsletters also don’t have the infrastructure for the more investigative journalism that risks lawsuits so we lose that when we tell people essentially to start a blog instead of having a robust newsroom with resources!!!

"Learning how to watch a thing for the job you want to do" is such a key part of learning that job. I know that sounds vague but learning how to watch basketball or football to write about it took me a lot of time and study, but it was worth it.
i went to usc film school and “how to watch a movie” didn’t actually click until i read peter woolen’s signs & meaning in the cinema during the summer between my freshman and sophomore years
If there’s a short answer, how do you teach someone how to watch a movie? It strikes me even with that sentence that our language is not up to the present task: “how to watch a film” has always meant interpretation, not “how to look in one consistent direction for about 100 minutes”
