  1. "The AP Stylebook first added its dedicated artificial intelligence chapter in 2023, then broadly expanded and updated it earlier this year. Beyond mere diction and technicalities, AP’s guidance is ethically grounded. It urges journalists to critically evaluate AI’s technical limitations, move past corporate hype and focus instead on how human-built AI tools operate, who profits from them and how they affect society."

  5. People who write code are programmers. They program.

    People who really love to write code and take pleasure in elegant systems of codified thought are hackers. They hack.
