Social networks are the overworked writer’s best friend. It’s easy to observe the latest outrage on Twitter, grab a few good jokes from Reddit, or screen cap the ridiculous things people write on Facebook and turn them into blog posts. Writers used to have to find stories to chase — now they just have to be willing to sift through gargantuan masses of shit to find a few nuggets of social media gold. There are a few problems with this: the people whose content has been lifted don’t always like someone else taking credit for their words, photos, or videos; relying on outside platforms can lead to the meat of a publisher’s blog posts falling right out of their sandwich of context and witticism; and social networks don’t need writers to surface their best content.

In response to Fortnite's workaround that sent users outside of the App Store to make a purchase, Apple kicked the game out of the App Store.

  • Hands-on with the Claude AI app: It's pleasant to use, but janky
    Mashable, Wednesday - 05/01/2024 - 06:00 PM

    Anthropic's Claude is arguably the best consumer-facing large language model at the moment, with its top-tier version having bested OpenAI's GPT-4 in at least one major benchmark test and on a popular LLM user evaluation site. So it's only natural that Anthropic would take advantage of the halo effect by releasing a Claude iOS app.
