Google is using its search monopoly to coerce schools into adopting AI. This highlights the danger of allowing an unregulated monopolist to control an essential service.
Multiple courts have found Google liable for violating antitrust laws, and this latest move shows it remains unchastened.
As the public increasingly pushes back against the use of AI in schools, Google is making clear it will punish those who don’t fall in line.
Breaking: Google will turn off web search for schools that opt out of A.I. for kids.

Haley Stevens has spent a long time telling us what she prioritizes and it's not American democracy or Black owned businesses. A sadly predictable yet profoundly dangerous turn of events.

Love John Turturro:
“There’s a lot of things I’m nostalgic for that have been lost. When I was young, I could go do so many interesting things, and I could afford to do them, even though I had no money. The city was so much more affordable. When I do plays at BAM, I always want to make sure that there’s affordable tickets for younger people, because I don’t want to just perform for rich people my age. I think that’s important, because it opened my eyes to so many things.” bkmag.com/2026/10/30/john-tu…

Striking detail in the big NYT piece on Taiwanese families adjusting to working at the huge new TSMC chip plant in Arizona: their surprise at the lack of rigor in US schools.

Nothing can prepare you for seeing who Joe is talking to here.
Joe Rogan: What Trump stood for, some of it turned out to not be real. Like 'no wars.' We're at a war with Iran, so that wasn't real. And it's nuts to just give someone a $50,000 ICE signing bonus, you train them for seven weeks and then give them guns, and you have a militarized force running through the fucking city streets. It seems crazy.

"Eclipsing foundational art and sovereign history with an exhibition on wartime loyalty carries a cynical subtext, suggesting that Native heritage is most welcome in federal halls when measured by devotion to the state that dispossessed them."

“DuVernay uses generative AI to bring still images of Black people from the Reconstruction era to life.”

One more possible sign that AI is already impacting employment in NYC:
For the first time in decades, NYers ages 22–27 with a college degree have a higher unemployment rate than those without one.
How long do we wait before we start treating this as real?

If A.I. programs “cannot be trusted to work within the law, the companies should not release them,” the editorial board writes. “If the programs break the law, the companies should face the consequences.” nyti.ms/4hHbsyQ

The most likely long-term outcome of the AI boom will be massive capital destruction in the US, with market share going to cheaper open-source Chinese models, according to Jefferies. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
