Caleb Hammerâs Humiliation Economy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Caleb Hammer, a thirty-one-year-old personal-finance YouTuber, gets particularly exasperated, his voice enters a shrill upper register. He wrenches the eyeglasses from his face and rubs the bridge of his nose with a pair of pinched fingers, unable to disguise his disgust. Hunching over a microphone, he calls the person sitting across from him any number of derogatory epithets: âretarded,â usually, but also âmoronâ and âtwinkie.â These fits of annoyance occur with some regularity
Flock Wants a Closely Surveilled World with No Exit (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Garrett Langley, the founder of Flock Safety, frames surveillance as a Faustian bargain. If we want to live in a world where “crime is unsustainable” and “a thing of the past,” in his words, then we must “sacrifice our privacy.” Imagine: no more carjackings or kidnappings, murders or robberies, rapes or vandalism. “Everyone, in my opinion, deserves the right to be safe,” Langley said, during a TED talk last month. “It should not matter the color of your skin, your political affiliation, or your

Read excerpt
We know the story well: Kim Kardashian got famous off a sex tape. She was a twentysomething Los Angeles socialite and aspiring celebrity, the daughter of one of O. J. Simpsonâs defense attorneys, gallivanting around town with her pal Paris Hilton and befriending tabloid reporters, hoping theyâd feature her in their pages. (One former editor at In Touch Weekly said that Kardashian was a âmousy, dull girlâ in desperate search of fame-inducing stunts; her lawyer has denied the claim that s
The Mark of the Machine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week, Anthropic announced an unexpected policy change: text created with Claude, the company’s large language model, would now contain an invisible watermark. If a person were to copy and paste a chatbot-crafted passage into a separate document, an A.I. detector would be able to determine the likelihood that it had been processed by Claude. A.I.-detection systems aren’t new, of course; programs such as Pangram and Turnitin have become entrenched in academic and publishing practices. But, wh
