Can newsrooms become social platforms themselves? Should they?
The future belongs to organizations that understand their communities, not just their analytics. In this post, I dig into a reader question that speaks to the future of social, newsrooms, and AI.

Can newsrooms become social platforms?
How community-first thinking can help newsrooms survive AIBen Werdmuller
This is a great post on the good news, bad news dynamic of the AI boom.
The good news is demand is exploding. Nvidia can’t make GPUs fast enough nor can Microsoft & Google bring data centers online fast enough to meet demand.
The bad news is demand is exploding. New features like Deep Research or Agehts use 10x - 100x the resources of vanilla chatbot queries from a year ago. AI companies simply can’t raise prices high enough to match usage. $200/month it isn’t enough.

tokens are getting more expensive
the goal with this is to generalize what happened with claude code & windsurf to the fatal flaw in the idea that “models getting cheaper” will bail out consumer ai marginsEthan Ding (ethan's mandates)

Ok, oggi ho iniziato a settare #orgmode in #emacs . Prima reazione : maremma che caos. Dopo tre o quattro tutorial invece ora penso: sarà anche un po’ rognoso da settare , ma è una figata ! son solo agli inizi ma…. Trovo sia decisamente meglio di logseq e obsidian sommati insieme, se vinci la diffidenza. E c’è anche #roam-mode e sia benedetto il cielo evil mode (shortcuts di vim , che faccio fatica a tenere a mente sia quelli di eMacs che quello di vin!)
#linux #opensource #emacs
Comunque, se mai deciderai di usare Emacs "seriamente" ti consiglio lo stesso di limitare pacchetti e configurazioni solo per quello a cui proprio non puoi fare a meno... all'inizio anche io mi affidavo a "preset" scritti da altri, tipo copiando init.el da blog vari, e con il senno di poi questa cosa mi ha fatto più male che bene. Ho veramente iniziato a usare il potenziale del programma quando ho abbandonato tutto e sono ripartito da zero.
