Will 'AI-Assisted' Journalists Bring Errors and Retractions?

Meet the "journalist" who "uploads press releases or analyst notes into AI tools and prompts them to spit out articles that he can edit and publish quickly," according to the Wall Street Journal.

"AI-assisted stories accounted for nearly 20% of Fortune's web traffic in the second half of 2025." And most were written by 42-year-old Nick Lichtenberg, who has now written over 600 AI-assisted stories, producing "more stories in six months than any of his colleagues at Fortune delivered in a year."

Most of the height is taken up by the 80W fast... Read more

Psychology says the people described as having a strong personality aren’t dominant or difficult, they’re the ones who stopped softening themselves to make every room comfortable, and what reads as intensity from the outside is just the absence of the apology most people are still adding to every sentence

There’s a person in almost every room who seems to take up more space than everyone else. Not because they’re loud. Not because they’re aggressive. Just because they’re… present. They say what they think. They don’t soften every sentence with “I mean, I could be wrong” or “sorry if that’s a weird thing to say.” ... Read more Read more

There’s a specific kind of person who answers ‘what do you want for dinner’ with ‘whatever you want’ and isn’t being easygoing. They genuinely lost access to the question a long time ago, in a house where wanting things drew the wrong kind of attention.

The reflexive "whatever you want" isn't easygoing — it's the sound of a faculty that hasn't been online in decades. Why some people genuinely cannot locate their own preferences, and what it takes to rebuild the signal. Read more

Remembering Zip Drives - the Trendy Storage Technology of the 1990s

Back in the 1990s, floppy disks "had a mere capacity of 1.44MB," remembers XDA Developers, "which would soon become absolutely tiny for the increasingly large pieces of software that would come about." Floppy disks also felt quite fragile, and while we got "superfloppy" formats that were physically larger and had more capacity, those were pretty unwieldy as portable storage. Enter 1994, when a company called Iomega introduced its variant of... Read more

It carries no solar panels, no rechargeable batteries. Just the slow, steady release of nuclear warmth, which diminishes by about 4 watts each year. After nearly five decades, that decline has become critical. During a routine... Read more
