re: @DarioAmodei asking for embedded auditors
if only there were whole, independent organizations staffed with curious critical thinkers who could discover, synthesize and communicate information without fear or favor…
What irritates me about San Francisco is that it’s a city with boatloads of money floating around (like Titanic-levels of cash), yet institutions like @SFOpera run deficits that are entirely fixable by a sliver of a random company’s Series D raise.
Management initially asked musicians to take pay cuts (and then amended this to a pay freeze) at a time where rent and the general cost of living in this city have shot up insanely. Would you take a pay cut or freeze in this economy?
being a dog adoptions counselor has been v healing, but i’m looking for my next news gig…so if anyone has leads on editorial jobs in sf, hmu!
i’ve written for @WSJ, @business & @theinformation…i also worked in news product @washingtonpost and edited newsletters @axios!

Not a huge surprise to see @Uber hiring (or-rehiring!) people who've worked on commercializing autonomous vehicles at companies like @Waymo, @Nuro, @May_Mobility and @GM's Cruise (rip) as it looks to expand its autonomous offerings.

an understated part of the awful @wsj tech layoffs is the amount of mentorship the paper just lost.
interning in the sf bureau solidified my want to pursue tech journalism, but it more importantly taught me about the type of people and editors I want to work with.
jason was one of my biggest advocates, even going so far as to request a metal printing plate be shipped to SF after I wrote my a-hed!!
my non-media friends know my former colleagues' names because I wouldn't stop raving in group chats about how great and supportive they were.
After finishing post-grad internships @wsj and @business, I’m happy to be returning to @theinformation to report on the future on transportation & mobility! (aka Waymo, AVs, ridehailing)
