If Congress wants to ban TikTok it should probably show us the evidence of Chinese interference.
We’ve heard so much about the dangers of TikTok from both sides of the aisle, and even had Trump flip-flop his position ostensibly over the political calculations of banning an app 170 million Americans use. But what exactly did the House select committee see in its secure briefing that led them to vote 50-0 in favor of the bill that would ban the app? If this thing is going to move forward in the Senate it seems like we should at least know the basics.

Figma CEO Dylan Field will be on stage with me at SXSW on March 9th.
Lots to talk about — life after the Adobe deal went away, of course, but much more interestingly there’s a lot going on with the web, design, and AI, and Figma’s right in the middle of it. We’ll see you there! (And check out the rest of the Vox Media Podcast Stage schedule, it’ll be a party.)
On this special episode of Decoder, Complexly co-founder and YouTuber Hank Green turns the tables on Nilay Patel.

“Imagine getting mad at your computer because it drew you a picture you didn’t like!”
Max Read on the Google Gemini silliness:
I think we need to acknowledge that it is, objectively, extremely funny that Google created an A.I. so woke and so stupid that it drew pictures of diverse Nazis, and even funnier that the woke A.I.’s black pope drove a bunch of MBAs who call themselves “accelerationists” so insane they expressed concern about releasing A.I. models too quickly.
Google made an A.I. so woke it drove men mad
