Paste several links at once. Yank finds the five things worth knowing in each, with their sources, then read them in turn, or play them through: videos and podcasts in their own voices, everything else read aloud by an AI voice.

Videos and podcasts play in their own players, from two seconds before each line. Articles and documents are read aloud by an AI voice from ElevenLabs, reading only the words already on each yank's page, or by your device's own voice if you choose it. It keeps playing if you go to another page.
Augmented Pathology: How AI Gets Trained by the Wrong People
A conversation about how the same ideological monoculture that captured social media is now shaping the humans who train our most powerful AI systems — and why that's a civilizational problem.
- “We're going to produce hyper-powerful avatars of our own flaws.”
- “If we're going to generate augmented intelligence, we better not generate augmented pathological intelligence.”
- Deciding by fiat that an AI is correct, then shielding it from market or environmental feedback, is literally the definition of how to make something insane.
- There's way more ways a system can go wrong than there are ways it can aim upward in an unerring direction.
- You see no ideological competition between Harvard and Yale, the New York Times and the Washington Post, or the major AI labs — what looks like a free market keeps producing cartels.
