Some rare good news: Journalists at the PEN Guild won their arbitration case against Politico, which deployed two separate faulty AI products (a "report builder" and a headline and summary generator on the homepage) without their knowledge or input.
That violated their contract, the arbiter found.

Journalists win a key battle over AI in the newsroom
PLUS: Artists fight for an AI transparency law in the belly of the beast, a Spotify mass deletion event, and an interview with a top video games journalist about AI and labor.

Typical shameless, mealy-mouthed framing from the Times here. Citizenship doesn’t “elude the grasp” of people in the final stages of naturalization! It is being taken from them by sadistic scofflaws. Why can’t you say that?
Sweeping immigration changes by the Trump administration have resulted in the cancellation of oath ceremonies, the last step in the process of becoming a citizen. The actions are the latest attempt to tighten who can call themselves an American. w/ Orlando Mayorquín www.nytimes.com/2025/12/06/u...

Oracle has taken on so much debt in order to build out its infrastructure to support the anticipated $300B in usage from OpenAI, that Morgan Stanley has now flagged it as a credit risk and a target for short selling.
I guess this is the closest you can get to shorting OpenAI.

Guillermo Del Toro's "At the Mountains of Madness."
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Humans will NEVER colonize another planet. Never.
If we can’t even agree to do the minimum to keep Earth habitable, there’s no way in hell we’ll cooperate to make another planet habitable.

One of the striking things in Epstein's emails is how fucking inarticulate he is, and how *every other billionaire is just as bad at communicating*.
They're the exact textual equivalents of any interview with Altman or Musk or Thiel etc just fucking babbling incoherent word salad.

More Senate Democrats folded to let Trump gut our healthcare than House Republicans folded to release the Epstein files.
This is example of why we can't have nice things.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.
