A new tool lets your favorite AI model talk with 2 million articles from The GuardianThe intersection of news archives and large language models is a topic for the courtroom these days â but it can also bring useful overlaps. By Joshua Benton. |
“Mario Guevara, a native of El Salvador, was arrested by local police on June 14 while covering a protest just outside Atlanta and was turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement several days later. He has been held at an immigration detention center in Folkston â in southeast Georgia, near the Florida border â since then.”
X (formerly Twitter) / Max TaniAxios makes its editorial policies more AI-friendly →“The new language replaces our original framing which was centered on how everything we do ‘will be written or produced by a real person with a real identity. There will be NO AI-written stories.’ That was written years ago and was unnecessarily limiting as we’ve learned more about what AI tools can and can’t do.”
The New Yorker / Hua HsuThe end of the essay →“Almost all the students I interviewed in the past few months described the same trajectory: from using AI to assist with organizing their thoughts to off-loading their thinking altogether. For some, it became something akin to social media, constantly open in the corner of the screen, a portal for distraction.”
New York Magazine / Ben Ryder HoweHave “Best of” lists made travel more bland? →“[The] subjects of travel articles â cruise lines, safari operators, airlines, and hotels â buy most if not all of travel-magazine advertising and thereby sustain those writersâ salaries. It is also an industry whose cash-strapped publishers rely upon underpaid freelancers to write about experiences costing $10,000 or more.”

Kim Reynolds signed in May and takes effect Tuesday.”
The New York Times / Cecilia KangSenate votes to allow state AI laws →“In a 99-1 vote, the Senate voted overwhelmingly to strike an amendment to the Republican economic policy package that would have imposed a decade-long moratorium on attempts to regulate AI by the states.”

• • •Status / Oliver Darcy60 Minutes draws the line →“The missive marks the first known instance of the 60 Minutes correspondents [Lesley Stahl, Scott Pelley, Bill Whitaker, Anderson Cooper, Sharyn Alfonsi, Jon Wertheim, and Cecilia Vega] taking a firm and unified stance on how they expect their parent company to respond to Trumpâs lawsuit.”
Columbia Journalism Review / Jon AllsopLunch with the FT, with FT CEO John Ridding →“I ask Ridding what he makes of some news owners and executives in the U.S. caving to Trumpian pressure. ‘My main thought, actually, is how incredibly fortunate we are to have Nikkei as an owner,’ he says, without missing a beat. ‘Their steadfast support for editorial independence is inspiring, and itâs reassuring.'”
Second Rough Draft / Richard J. TofelSome good news for a change: Better libel insurance is now available for smaller newsrooms →Previously: “Newsrooms are playing Russian roulette with libel insurance.”
