Personalization systems are actually the AI technology I have the most beef with: I don't think we've fully reckoned with the algorithmic manipulation of information they do. Suddenly the info sphere is not an object you can interrogate, but you become the object, and the infosphere around us is made into a mirror.
Weirdly, LLMs used well are actually _better_ about this because they're somewhat more able to be interrogated (though naive questioning is not probing so much why as one would hope). But the breadth of the corpus and the freedom we have to query within it are currently new capabilities. Not to say that some companies aren't well on their way to researching how to personalize that into a reflection again. Google must be stopped, and I trust OpenAI just as little. People's chats still end up adding quite a reflective lens on things, but the raw access is still there if we want to make use of it.

Tiny plastics in drinking water may be making dangerous bacteria stronger
Tiny plastic particles in drinking water may be doing more than contaminating the environment.

These tougher biofilms become more resistant to disinfectants, making them harder to remove and potentially increasing public health risks.

On Thursday, Trump said in a press conference that “it would be a disgrace” if the Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship.

in PROTEST over the fact that the United States Senate is not capable of passing THE SAVE AMERICA ACT,”
Trump, who could still change his mind and sign the legislation, posted on Friday.
The b…

SpaceX can be defined in many ways.
SpaceX is a financial instrument for Musk.
Before the IPO, SpaceX acquired xAI, Musk’s artificial-intelligence company, which itself acquired X, the social-media site, back in 2025.
The maneuver allowed SpaceX to claim that it believed it had “the largest actionable total addressable market in human history”:
$28.5 trillion, to be precise.
$26.5 trillion of that, according to the filing, would come from AI infrastructure and a…

What Has SpaceX Become?
