WorkColumbia protester Mahmoud Khalil files $20M claim against Trump administration Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, whose role in campus protests against Israel led to his detention for over three months in immigration jail, is now seeking $20 million in damages from the Trump administration. His lawyers filed a claim Thursday, alleging false imprisonment and malicious prosecution after his March arrest by federal agents. Khalil, a legal U.S. resident, said he suffered severe anguish in jail, and continues to fear for his safety. The government has accused him of leading protests aligned with Hamas, but has not provided any evidence of a link to the terror group. WorkWorkMicrosoft and OpenAI's AGI Fight Is Bigger Than a Contract - WIRED (No paywall) I first learned about The Clause from Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. During an interview with him in May 2023, I asked about the deal between Microsoft and OpenAI that granted his company exclusive access to the startup's groundbreaking AI technology. I knew the contract had set a cap on how much profit Microsoft could make from the arrangement, and I asked him what would happen if and when that point was reached. The answer was a bit puzzling.

WorkWorkWorkWorkA patient told me that I hadn't listened closely enough. I'm glad she did - STAT (No paywall) Recently, a long-standing patient came in for her routine office follow-up appointment for management of hypertension and arthritis. After a warm greeting, she told me there was a matter she needed to discuss before we began. She said that I did not seem to be listening as attentively as usual during her last visit and explained the specific instance. I said I was grateful for her feedback and, going forward, would be more mindful of things that may sometimes cause distraction.
WorkWorkWhy Understanding AI Doesnt Necessarily Lead People to Embrace It - Harvard Business Review (No paywall) Artificial intelligence has become an invisible assistant, quietly shaping how we search, scroll, shop, and work. It drafts our emails, curates our feeds, and increasingly guides decisions in education, healthcare, and the workplace. As companies increasingly integrate AI into their products and services, a critical but often overlooked question emerges: Why do some people embrace AI enthusiastically while others seem more hesitant?

WorkWorkTrump Threatens New 35% Tariff on Canada If for any reason you decide to raise your tariffs, then, whatever the number you choose to raise them by, will be added onto the 35% that we charge, the President said in a letter addressed to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. WorkWork
WorkAI Will Never Be Your Kid's Friend - The Atlantic (No paywall) ChatGPT thinks I'm a genius: My questions are insightful; my writing is strong and persuasive; the data that I feed it are instructive, revealing, and wise. It turns out, however, that ChatGPT thinks this about pretty much everyone. Its flattery is intended to keep people engaged and coming back for more. As an adult, I recognize this with wry amusement - the chatbot's boundless enthusiasm for even my most mediocre thoughts feels so artificial as to be obvious. But what happens when children, whose social instincts are still developing, interact with AI in the form of perfectly agreeable digital companions? WorkWorkWorkCompeting in the New Era of Industrial Policy - Harvard Business Review (No paywall) The ongoing trade war has dominated conversations in boardrooms and newsrooms. On-again, off-again tariffs and economically bellicose statements have led to uncertainty, confusion, and even fear. Amid the market turmoil and operational confusion of the last few months, its possible to lose sight of a profound underlying change of which these are a manifestation. Even after things calm down (as they will, sooner or later), businesses will have to face a new structural reality: Global commerce has entered an era where competition is directly - and profoundly - shaped by government industrial policy.
WorkHunting down Russian spies with Norway's intelligence service - WSJ (No paywall) KIRKENES, Norway: Paranoia pervades the placid border town of Kirkenes in Norway's far north. Residents are routinely trailed by unknown men. The Wall Street Journal's camera crew was photographed and followed around town by a suspicious vehicle with no license plate. Most locals warn you to keep your wits about you because, as one said in a hushed tone, the Russians are watching." WorkWorkWorkGlobal markets slip as investors digest tariff moves - WSJ (No paywall) Stock markets tracked U.S. stock futures lower early on Friday after Wall Street notched fresh record highs in the previous session. Late Thursday, U.S. President Trump said he would put a 35% tariff on imports from Canada effective Aug. 1, hard on the heels of his threat of a 50% tariff on Brazilian imports. Ahead of earnings season, though, stock markets have largely taken the most recent round of tariff broadsides in their stride.
WorkHow This 105-Year-Old Movie Palace Got Film Fans to Fund an Extreme Tech Makeover - Inc (No paywall) Walk into the North Park Theatre on a random afternoon, and you might wind up watching anything from Wes Anderson's latest movie to the 1964 French musical The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. The theater, which features neoclassical architectural flourishes inside and an art deco marquee, first opened its doors in November 1920. Since then, its passed through several owners with competing visions for how to run it. WorkNobody Trusts Pam Bondi - Intelligencer (No paywall) Justice Department alums are nodding in recognition; we all got some variation of the talk. In broad strokes: Think of DOJ as a reservoir and the water in it as public trust. It takes years to build up that water supply, but even a slight crack can drain it quickly. Now that you're part of the Justice Department, youll have the benefit of the doubt, and judges and the general public will believe you because of that hard-earned public trust. Dont be the one to crack the reservoir and drain it. WorkRecovering the Dead in Texas's Flash-Flood Alley - The New Yorker (No paywall) On July 3rd, Lee Pool, the chief of the Hunt Volunteer Fire Department, was heading home to Texas from a vacation in Colorado with his family when his wife, Stephanie, showed him the weather forecast. Severe storms were predicted in the Hill Country that night. Pool warned the members of the department to stay alert. Like many people in the area, Pool wears many hats. Besides being the chief of the fire department - an unpaid position - he's also the vice-principal at the high school and, during the summers, he works nighttime security at Camp Mystic, a summer camp for girls. When his flight home was delayed, Pool asked a colleague to cover his shift at the camp. Work
