Lol. Tesla has sent an *unsigned* letter to USTR saying... "hey, uh, this trade war shit might hurt us pretty badly." Someone should tell the people making these decisions.

AI significantly impacts scaling startups by automating processes, enhancing decision-making, and improving customer experiences. It helps optimize operations, making it easier to scale efficiently and effectively. Silicon Valley has taken the lead, as usual. Can France adapt?

I spent 25 minutes today trying to join a
@microsoft.com
Teams meeting. It is THE shittiest digital product I have ever used. Now they're folding Skype into Teams? Fuck me. Microsoft is doing AI razzle-dazzle while its core products have turned into garbage.

Apropos of nothing in the news, this is the final scene of Netflix's "I Care A Lot," the 2021 tale of a slimy nursing home chain CEO who scams the elderly out of their savings and possessions. Excruciating to watch. If you don't want spoilers, don't watch:

Usually my Spotify Wrapped is too depressing to share because I've been stuck in a musical rut. But I can share my most listened to song this year without hesitation. I'm not even an Arkells fan, but their cover of "I Want You Back" was THE song of 2024.

"LightOn to become Europe's first listed GenAI startup with Paris IPO" π The hype surrounding this announcement make the company sound like a triumphant juggernaut barrelling toward the public markets. In reality, LightOn is more like a startup taking its first baby steps at Station F.
