The Democratic Party doesn't really need to do any soul searching. Deker Thompson (@dkthomp.bsky.social) and Ezra Klein basically did the work for us. Read Abundance.

Nope. The US military is not a distressed asset that can be picked up in a bankruptcy sale, especially when the bankruptcy was self inflicted and can be ended. "Pentagon to use $130 million donation from anonymous Trump ‘friend’ to pay military members"

Lead with the truth, then point out the lie not the other way around.

OpenAI’s Apps SDK makes ChatGPT a super app — an app store woven into an AI assistant. We look at implications for devs and businesses.

Statements and headlines headlines like these about US military deployment in us soil should be flood the zone right now: “Wasting an estimated $10 million on made up problems is an insult to Americans who are struggling with the cost of living, access to affordable health care, safety”

DOGE was sold to the American people as a cost-cutting initiative. Instead, it is clearly something far more sinister: a sprawling data-harvesting operation that threatens the constitutional foundations for American democracy, Laura MacCleery writes.

🚨 Open source isn’t a nice-to-have anymore, it’s the backbone of the next tech stack. From agentic AI to multimodal copilots, Laura Sellers lays out why open source is now table stakes, and how to make it work securely, at scale.

It really feels like we did automation backwards. Giving all of the thinking tasks to machines and giving ourselves the manual labor is so backwards. In the meantime - if you have 10 years on your hands, robotics investments seem to make sense.

Kelsey Piper from Vox sent me to this cheery forecast on AI’s possible impact for my morning read. Highly recommend. ai-2027.com

Ok, so this Model Context Protocol seems to be a pretty big deal. Looking forward to all of the awesome integrations. This feels like the way computing should have been all along.

I wouldn’t offer my creative work in a paradigm where a platform could absorb years if not decades of expertise with no benefit to me. techcrunch.com/2025/05/11/t...

Just reread OpenAI's Superalignment essay. Makes me think Google should've dedicated 20% of compute to "don't be evil" to avoid their current dumpster fire state. Not sure if OpenAI will avoid self-immolation or setting the world on fire, but I applaud the approach. openai.com/index/introd...

Can we really understand LLMs? Sudheer Singh's new article explores "Mechanistic Interpretability" and Anthropic's "Circuit Tracing" technique, a new way to visualize the inner workings of language models.

Time to trade rainy Portland for too hot Vegas. Off to #googlecloudnext.

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

Roadmap's learning tools are outrageous.

I love this line of conversation. Everybody wants and needs education. Everybody wants affordable medical care. Everybody wants security. Everybody wants a safe, secure place to call home. Every time access to these things is degraded or destroyed the people responsible should be called out.

If you're a newsletter operator that is summarizing content from pubs like The Verge, TechCrunch, etc., name the outlet in your newsletter, next to the headline. They put huge resources into great writers and you couldn't do what you do without them. Giving them credit keeps you and them going.
