Brewster Kahle of the Internet Archive makes the case for web preservation in The Atlantic. 🌐 In The Internet Needs A Memory, Kahle explains why blocking the Wayback Machine won’t stop AI. It will only make the public record harder to preserve. Read it 👉 theatlantic.com/technology/2… @Brewster_Kahle @TheAtlantic

I don’t believe AI will make humans useless. What concerns me is a future where millions of people become so dependent on AI that they stop thinking critically, questioning its answers, and making decisions for themselves. AI should amplify human intelligence, not replace independent thought. It should be an extension OF you.

AI is becoming part of everyday work. The challenge is that costs don't always scale predictably alongside it. As usage grows, more leaders are focusing on AI economics, building the discipline to manage costs and capture value over the long term. mck.co/4s32xv3

UC Berkeley researchers found that just 10 minutes of relying on an AI tool to solve math and reasoning problems significantly affected people's ability to focus and persist with difficult tasks — highlighting the importance of designing AI tools that build on human abilities rather than replace them. bit.ly/3UiDYh5

Study explores how AI use affects performance on math and reasoning tasks - Berkeley News

A UC Berkeley researcher co-authored a study that raises profound questions about how we interact with artificial intelligence in education — and daily life.

Il y a de moins en moins de ventes de smartphones et d’ordinateurs. À cause du développement de l’IA, les puces électroniques se font de plus en plus rares, car elles permettent de faire fonctionner les datacenters. Les fabricants de smartphones sont alors contraints d’augmenter le prix de leurs produits. 🎥: Ludivine Dewulf #smartphone #ordinateur #IA #datacenter #franceinfoRF

Amateur radio history survives because people saved it. Much more has been lost in attics, basements, and forgotten files. 📻 Kay Savetz writes about recovering magazines, recordings, manuals, and materials for the Digital Library of Amateur Radio and Communications. 📚 📚 "Digital Library of Amateur Radio and Communications" by Savetz is in VANISHING CULTURE. 📖 Download & read, FREE: archive.org/details/vanishin… #Booktwitter

The fear about AI and jobs is that disruption will arrive suddenly. But researchers from MIT FutureTech estimated that AI could reach success rates of 88% to 97% on most text-based workplace tasks by 2030 at a minimally sufficient quality level, though near-perfect performance remains several years away. That gives governments, organizations, and workers a window in which to plan for the prospect of AI automation at the task level. Learn more: bit.ly/4hC5Zcq

How to write the best paper in 2026 with AI: 1. Question, not topic 2. 5-7 strong sources 3. Thesis + outline first 4. Draft messy, edit later 5. Cite as you go 6. AI = assistant, not author Save this.
