The Washington Post is advised to retain the temporary editor, Matt Murray, from the Wall Street Journal as the editor, hire a CEO, and employ a skilled digital professional to innovate new revenue streams until the election. It is suggested to revisit the strategy in December to ensure financial sustainability and attract staff by offering competitive wages.
Kara and Scott discuss the drama surrounding the Washington Post's new publisher and incoming editor, as well as Amazon's One Medical facing questions about its call centers. Then, Stanford's Internet Observatory, a prominent disinformation research group, is facing an uncertain future amid ongoing political attacks. Plus, OpenAI announces its newest board member, and might be moving closer to becoming a for-profit company. Finally, our Friend of Pivot is California State Senator Scott Wiener. Senator Wiener is working to pass an AI regulation bill, but not everyone in Silicon Valley is happy about it.
