I watch documentaries for sport, to try to spot bias and political messaging. Don’t trust anyone who buys film by the yard (or now gigabyte). True of “The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist” on Netflix. @WSJFreeEx wsj.com/opinion/free-express…

The yield on 10-year Treasury bonds is dancing around 5%. It was 4% in March. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, facing higher borrowing costs, is in a quandary as to how to lower it. Roadblocks include… wsj.com/opinion/the-bessent-…

WSJ: The AI Luddites Are Here "If only Donald Trump had come out against data centers, the mood would be different.

Class warfare is in the air again—usually a sign that both sides have run out of ideas. The midterms are a battle over who is taking care of the working class. But what is “working class” anyway? wsj.com/opinion/whos-working…

AOC’s “Woke 1 was crazy.” has the numerology wrong. It was instead Woke Zero: addictive, artificial sweetener-stuffed, anxiety-inducing absurdity (pregnant men?) that leaves you empty and rots your brains. wsj.com/opinion/the-summer-o…

Four Stories, Four Lessons I looked to my left and, shockingly, there sat Martha Stewart. I wanted to ask about her company, which recently went public, but all she talked about were flourless blueberry waffles. wsj.com/opinion/lessons-from…

Zoh-Mart would be great branding for New York’s city-run grocery stores—though they’re doomed to fail. “You’re a mayor, dude,” Sen. John Fetterman (D., Pa.) said on Newsmax, “Pick up trash. Fix some potholes.” No fun in that. wsj.com/opinion/viva-la-dsa-… @spencerpratt @BillAckman

WSJ: Does AI Have a Fiduciary Duty? A 2025 OpenAI study noted 28% of AI use is for “practical guidance.” Fiduciary means a legal responsibility to act in someone else’s best interests and not for your own profit. wsj.com/opinion/does-ai-have… @ylecun @mustafasuleyman @elonmusk @sama @openai @GoogleDeepMind @AnthropicAI @Meta @ajassy @nvidia @geoffreyhinton @demishassabis @gdb @ESYudkowsky @ericschmidt @AndrewYNg @drfeifei @finkd @ajassy @emollick @miramurati @thinkymachines

Politicians doing the same things—the horseshoe theory has become reality. The left and right, progressives and MAGA, bend around and almost touch. More like a teething ring, going round and round in a politician’s mouth with biting down and inflicting pain on all of us. Or an M.C. Escher drawing with everything confusingly connected. I don’t like it one bit. @adamcarolla wsj.com/opinion/different-pa…

“Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose,” Janis Joplin sang in 1971. Blues rock songs are supposed to be sad, but was this one ever wrong. Freedom isn’t emptiness but the seed of all greatness—another word for everything to gain. wsj.com/opinion/freedom-isnt…

Palantir used AI to lower early death rates from sepsis by two thirds in Tampa. Bernie and AOC introduced the AI Data Center Moratorium Act. Do they want us dead? wsj.com/opinion/live-free-an…

China fields roughly 600 hypersonic missiles, according to a military assessment leaked last year. Hypersonic means Mach 5. Colorado-based Ursa Major is helping close the gap. wsj.com/opinion/the-race-for…

Isn’t it odd that teetotaler Donald Trump is our first “vice” president? Think about it, a guy famous for cringey dancing to the Village People’s “YMCA” is singlehandedly loosening controls on weed, psychedelics and gambling. Is it now hip to be square? wsj.com/opinion/the-presiden…
