It was refreshing to chat with @lizzieohreally about the TikTok ban and what it really means. I feel like I've made the same points hundreds of times at this point, and it was great to finally step back and look at what has changed over the last 4 years slate.com/podcasts/what-…
About that TikTok ban … With @lmatsakis and TikTok’s own Dadchats. slate.com/podcasts/what-…
SCOOP: Meituan is working to debut its food-delivery app in the Middle East with Riyadh as the first stop. Launch could come in months bloomberg.com/news/articles/… via @_szheng @JaneZ901 @technology
What will the impact be on creators? “This is my livelihood, this is how I am going to feed my child, this is how many people are feeding their children,” a TikTok creator told WIRED today. Read more: wired.com/story/senate-v…
For @WIRED, I wrote about how TikTok isn't the same app that Trump first tried to ban in 2020. The platform has completely transformed since then, and the implications of getting rid of it have changed too wired.com/story/senate-v…
A dose of actual sanity from @cwarzel: "The case for TikTok is debatable, but the path the government has taken to determine its fate is unquestionably sloppy and short-sighted." theatlantic.com/technology/arc…

tbh Elf Bars are better designed than the Humane pin lol
this was so fun!!!
Here's the latest ep of Better Offline. It's about how industrial glycine company Donghua Jinlong accidentally got turned into a meme. Writers @lmatsakis and @tianyuf walk me through how and why memes about glycine keep going viral. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bet… Linktr.ee/betteroffline
There are so many interesting and important things to say about China that are actually true. It makes me really depressed to see high-profile commentators spreading total misinformation like this. There is *no numeric social credit score* wired.com/story/china-so…

In this week's edition of You May Also Like, I wrote about where the dildos come from youmayalsolike.beehiiv.com/p/tiktok-whist…
The path forward for AI and low-resource languages isn't about "indiscriminately telling the world it needs ChatGPT, but asking native speakers what the technology can do for them," writes @matteo_wong theatlantic.com/technology/arc…
next week's episode of better offline covers the donghua jinlong glycine meme, and also has important journalism around dildo making machines, featuring @lmatsakis and @tianyuf

Things I feel I’ve been saying privately to friends and colleagues about the risks of building a business atop LLMs finally becoming more acceptable discourse.
I made this last weekend to experiment w/ building an app end to end on LLMs: vibecheck.market It's like Wirecutter, but uses an LLM to recommend product choices based on reddit conversations and reviews, so you don't have to spend 20-30min reading reddit My experience:…
Not for nothing, it has also become a core platform for news, and probably the greatest proof point of sustained desire for news by those who do not subscribe to stuff or watch TV
