Blanche also said 200 DOJ attorneys reviewed the files and redacted the documents after the Act was signed into law. But as I reported, based on docs I obtained via #FOIA, the FBI directed 934 agents & other personnel to review & redact the files earlier this year.

WaPo CTO Vineet Khosla: "Hey kids I see you like podcasts! What do you say to a podcast that's a lot like the podcasts you already love, only is sucks shit? Pretty cool, huh?"

![I was intrigued by Washington Post C.T.O. Vineet Khosla’s take on the much-maligned rollout of the Post’s A.I. tools — which, as Semafor has reported, are furnishing readers and podcast listeners with inaccuracies and fabricated quotes. The conventional response here would be a hasty recall and mea culpa, but Khosla is standing firm and saying the company will “iterate through the remaining issues.”
In a recent interview with The Rebooting’s Brian Morrissey, Khosla cast the media’s obsession with accuracy as an impediment to innovation. Whereas the tech instinct is to ship, observe, and iterate, the media instinct — or, really, the journalistic instinct — is to prevent error. “Getting something slightly wrong is not the end of the world [in tech],” Khosla said, “but getting something slightly wrong in the world of media is often perceived as the end of the world.” I can hear the J-school crowd hyperventilating here, but it’s worth noting that this reflexively risk-averse mindset is precisely why investors typically hate media — and why it often takes the industry so long to catch up to changes in consumer behavior.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7vyyy23h3scgc3vrtzm5kbrx/bafkreide5oqyjxgnyh2ech5e37avdsslwkvine3ii3tlcjjg5el5dmn7ee@jpeg)

Yes, but it’s not a “nuclear option.” It’s the most basic, obvious, conventional option available if you want to actually do something effective. The fact that they’re not immediately promising it en masse tells us something, and that something is not good.
