The agentic AI rollout has a contradiction at its core: the same software that vendors call a colleague is, in controlled studies, making the humans around it measurably worse at their jobs

Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google are reportedly selling software that introduces itself by name, holds a Slack handle, and shows up on org charts.

Instagram will let users endlessly swap the audio on old posts

There's a symbiotic - and sometimes frustrating - relationship between social media sites and the creators that depend on them. Platforms need influencers' and creators' content to keep consumers on their apps; the creators, in turn, need to be able to reach those audiences to justify creating their content in the first place. Creators want […] Read more

Judge Pauses Paramount-Warner Bros Merger

A federal judge has temporarily paused the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger after a 12-state coalition led by California argued the deal would violate antitrust law. The 14-day restraining order (PDF) preserves the status quo while the court considers a preliminary injunction, which could effectively determine whether the merger survives. Variety reports: "Plaintiff States' showing at least demonstrates that serious questions going to the merits remain, weighing in favor of preliminary injunctive... Read more

Psychology says people who remain kind despite a difficult life aren’t weak or in denial — they’re often running on a kind of strength that only forms under sustained pressure, the way certain metals do

Some of the gentlest people I have ever met had lives that would flatten most of us. A woman who worked the pass at one of my restaurants comes to mind. She had every reason to be hard. Instead she was the one who noticed when a new hire hadn’t eaten, who covered a shift ... Read more Read more

Psychology says people who regularly eat alone in public without self-consciousness aren’t loners, they’re often the ones who have learned to distinguish between solitude and loneliness, a distinction that takes most people decades to make

“Table seven, one cover.” That was the line that used to make my floor staff sigh. One cover means a single diner. Somebody eating dinner with nobody across from them. We treated it as a tiny logistics problem, which tells you plenty about how the world reads a person who shows up to a nice ... Read more Read more

Marcus Aurelius warned that the desire to be remembered was pointless because both the famous and those remembering them would disappear, a thought written by one of the most powerful men alive

Marcus Aurelius wrote one of his clearest warnings about ambition in the fourth book of the notes now called Meditations. A person longing for fame after death, he argued, forgets that everyone preserving the memory will also die. Their successors will die too, until the chain of remembrance ends. The observation came from the Roman ... Read more Read more

A TED talk watched tens of millions of times promised that standing like a superhero for two minutes would lift your testosterone and your nerve — yet larger studies found no such hormone effect, and the study’s own lead author walked it back

Stand like a superhero for two minutes before a job interview, and your body chemistry shifts to make you braver. That was the promise of one of the most-watched talks in TED’s history. The trouble is that the claim about your hormones did not hold up, and the scientist who first reported it later said ... Read more Read more

Psychology says people who keep a paper calendar beside their phone aren’t resisting technology—they trust the version of time they can see all at once more than the version that disappears behind a screen

There is a particular kind of desk that looks as if it belongs to two eras at once. A smartphone handles messages, maps, calls and appointments. Beside it sits a paper calendar, open to the whole month, with crossings-out, arrows and small blocks of handwriting. The easy interpretation is that its owner has failed to ... Read more Read more

Singapore had no natural resources, no fresh water and no land to spare when it was expelled from Malaysia in 1965, and within a single lifetime it became one of the richest nations on Earth

Singapore became an independent country on 9 August 1965 after a brief and bitter union with Malaysia. It entered that day with no hinterland, no industrial base, no significant natural resources and a water supply that depended heavily on agreements with the country it had just left. “Expelled” is a fair description of the political ...

Adults who prefer physical books aren’t necessarily romanticizing the past—they’re protecting a form of attention in which the device cannot interrupt the experience it was chosen to provide

A physical book makes a narrow promise. Open it and there will be the book. No messages will arrive in the margin. No application will ask to be updated. No alert will appear over the final sentence of a chapter. For adults who continue to choose print, that limitation can be the point. The preference ... Read more Read more
