Hi there — my fellowship at the New York Times ends in a month. I’ve spent the year editing, commissioning, researching, fact-checking and writing for New York Times Opinion. I’m looking for a full time journo job, although I’ll be content freelancing for willing editors.

It's official: President Biden has signed the TikTok ban or sell bill. CEO Shou Chew posted a TikTok video in response saying 'It’s obviously a disappointing momentum, but it does not need to be a defining one … Rest assured, we aren’t going anywhere.'

My latest: Earlier this year, Bolt, the $11B checkout startup, offered to buy back shares from investors at a 97% discount. Now an investor lawsuit alleges that Bolt's ex-CEO Ryan Breslow masterminded the lowball offer to maintain his hold on the startup.

Days before my Businessweek cover story on sextortion dropped, Meta rolled out a new feature: automatically blurring nude photos shared by minors.

And that’s a (pre-pub impact) move I hope all other social media platforms follow…

My old stomping ground (Australia) has referred ByteDance to local anti-money laundering regulators following last week's report that TikTok was cut off by HSBC over AML/CTF concerns, and then lied to EU regulators when asked about it 👇

It's the AI industry's worst-kept secret... everyone is copying each other.

Developers tell me they're using data from OpenAI and Anthropic's LLMs to create cheaper alternative LLMs that power their products—and they're not telling customers.

I'm guessing you haven't heard of Thomas Tull.

Well, he's worth $3b; he produced The Dark Knight, Inception, Godzilla; he has the ear of Congress & the Biden admin; and he's one of today's biggest defense tech investors—so I think it's about time you did:
