Why do we keep outsourcing decision-making and risk-bearing to individuals least equipped for it? on.ft.com/48GbhPt

Really feels like someone needs to release a model that ends with 6.7 before the opportunity is lost.

The people with the dashboards and the power are still reluctant to talk about the costs of scale in plain, accountable language. open.spotify.com/episode/5Q1i...

Search “Alo” on Amazon and you won’t actually get Alo. You’ll get a dozen cheaper look-alikes, all “sponsored.” The chaos isn’t bad UX — it’s the ad system doing its job. Every scroll, detour, and duplicate keeps the auction running.

AI progress isn’t linear. It’s doubling its ‘attention span’ every ~6 months. That means going from 2-hour tasks → 8-hour → 32-hour → whole projects in just a few years. If that curve holds, real white-collar job loss could occur in the 2030s. windowsontheory.org/2025/11/04/t...

Imagine the overlays you could leverage this for on Youtube TV: dynamic labels for players, refs, possession, shot distance, foul/violation hints, and +2/+3 markers. www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA...

The alignment problem wasn’t about truth. It was about tone.

Sora feels built around the creator dopamine loop, making your own videos is the real fun. The feed’s still all Pikachu and Sam Altman, but once there’s more variety and music rights from labels, it could evolve from a toy into something that actually competes with TikTok.

Incredibly cool but I wish the demo weren't so squarely focused on productivity. Aren't the medical breakthroughs among the ALS community far more inspiring? I don't need yet another way to hold a meeting with a colleague or to jot down half-baked ideas in the Notes app. www.alterego.io

Not terribly surprised by this news. I sincerely felt the sidestepping of Arc was a critical mistake that might accelerate a decision like this. That said, Dia is promising and I hope it, eventually, subsumes the best of Arc. browsercompany.substack.com/p/your-tuesd...

The heater @pablo.show is on must be studied.

The Comet browser by Perplexity is impressive. It's got read + write access to Gmail and GCal so I can just say, “Set up a call with Brian,” and Comet reads an email thread and creates a calendar event with all the relevant details. Bulk event upload is also clutch for my kid's daycare calendar.

Cannot think of something more user-hostile than distracting people with Teams messages while driving. www.theverge.com/news/708481/...

I wonder what techno-speak we’ll settle on for agents. “Take over” sounds like a coup. A singular verb that’s both powerful but not too ominous. “Pilot” “Guide” “Operator”

Biggest lie of corporate PM life is “[Exec Name] says it’s okay to use existing artifacts for the meeting.”

1/ Cloudflare’s out here doing god’s work with pay-per-crawl. Finally, content creators can get paid instead of just blocking AI or giving it away free. blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-...

This is such a strange, almost soap-operatic moment in tech.

The METR study found AI tools slowed down experienced devs in code-heavy IDEs. Makes me wonder if a terminal-native tool like Claude Code—no code visualization, just pure text—changes the equation? Curious if the interface is the real bottleneck. h/t @brianmc.bsky.social metr.org/Early_2025_A...

A potential intermediary solution for us while we wait for background agents. It wraps around Claude Code and helps orchestrate many agents at once. code.dblock.org/2025/06/21/u...

Black hole physics are mind-boggling. Tl;dr: Our universe might be inside a black hole, so the Big Bang was just our local beginning. Time and space as we know them only exist within this black hole. www.port.ac.uk/news-events-...

I guess the market was expecting more from WWDC.

It’s funny how the people best equipped to ride the next wave are often the ones most content to watch it roll by from the shore. fly.io/blog/youre-a...

“The companies we’re looking at are very unlikely to lose money.” There’s something almost performance-art funny about a VC uttering that line with a straight face. techcrunch.com/2025/05/23/k...

AI news is dropping so fast I half expect Shams to announce a new model signed with Microsoft on a four-year max deal.

With the news of @mozilla.org shutting down down Pocket, there's never been a better time for me to recommend @plinky.app for your link-saving needs. Even better, just open Plinky today to get 50% off of Plinky Pro! 🎁 plinky.app/pro

The myth that you can “one-shot” your way to mastery is wild. AI and model makers keep selling shortcuts, but the real game is built in the margins—awkward silences, late-night edits, watching someone seasoned handle chaos with a look. www.ft.com/content/e4eb...

Not a chance, Gerrit.

I spoke to a PM at Max today who found out about the name change on Twitter/X. He works on the Max app.

I finally feel like there's such thing as a 10x PM now (i.e., conversant with AI-assisted tools, knows how to get the most out of them to accelerate development).

Walking into Game 1 at MSG like.

My prd was at go/affiliations internally. I wonder if this still works inside X.

“Gemini needs a skunkworks team to bring this whole thing together. Right now it feels like disjointed geniuses putting LLMs inside anything they can see - inside Colab or Docs or Gmail or Pixel.” www.strangeloopcanon.com/p/in-defense...

Hell yeah. Claude Sonnet is my favorite LLM by far. www.anthropic.com/news/claude-...

The White Lotus has masterfully dissected wealth through tropical hedonism, but S4 needs snow. The beach setting—while perfect for exploring vanity, sex, and performative leisure—has shown us what it can.

I genuinely admire the attempt to alter humanity's relationship to smartphones. Hopefully others will be more successful than Humane. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

1/5 Health hack: Created a personalized health consultant by uploading Function Health results, clinician notes & Apple Health data to a dedicated Claude project.

Frontier AI models still struggle with real-world freelance software engineering. A new benchmark found that even the best model, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, earned less than half of $1M in available payouts—outperforming OpenAI’s reasoning models yet again. arxiv.org/abs/2502.12115

Why do leaders reach for reorgs and RTO mandates? Because process metrics and data-driven organizational improvements are hard. Like, really hard. And they make people uncomfortable.

1/5 Great long weekend read about military recruitment's transformation from civic duty to transaction. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Wow this chart. The "computer and mathematical" job functions make up 37.2% of all Claude conversations yet only represent 3.4% of the US labor force. www.anthropic.com/news/the-ant...

Algorithms are tiring. Feeeed feels more like scrolling on my own terms—just the newsletters, podcasts, Bluesky follows, subreddits and YT channels I actually care about. Highly recommend. feeeed.nateparrott.com?ueid=3003d3a...

A rare Kendrick interview. I think the last time he did a video sit-down was eight years back, with GQ and Rick Rubin. Look at the crowd—they’re so quiet, you can tell they’re clinging to every word. youtu.be/sgmOONFqYOY?...

DeepSeek story is fascinating: Chinese quant fund pivots to AI, hires fresh PhDs, gets hit with US chip sanctions... then innovates around them to build an OpenAI competitor at 1/10th the cost. Shows how tech restrictions can spark innovation rather than hinder it. www.wired.com/story/deepse...

New benchmark shows even the most advanced AI models score under 10% on expert-level academic questions, while expressing over 90% confidence in their wrong answers. Humanity's Last Exam reveals the significant gap between AI capabilities and genuine expertise. lastexam.ai?ueid=7ee62a9...

Great podcast with NYU professor Austin Campbell discussing the Streisand effect of Gensler’s attempts to crack down on the crypto industry—unintentionally mobilizing degens to the polls, potentially aiding Trump’s election. open.spotify.com/episode/1iMc...

Very sad my #Lions lost but, on the bright side, I have a nontrivial portion of my brain back now that the season is over. Definitely will need it for when my first kid arrives in March.

The challenge is balancing strategic effectiveness with the institutional stability that sustains democracy. Some ideas: 1. Stop neglecting state races. Rs have dominated state legislatures/courts for years while Dems chase national headlines. That's where real power lives.
