Let’s work up a go to market plan that involves the opportunity to purge themselves of their sins (and money) Toward the public good.

Hold on a sec

I really can’t improve on this.

Wild to keep hearing anti-AI sentiment described as an "echo chamber" by people who pretend there's never been a coercive dogshit marketing campaign actively pissing people off about it for two years or any no-opt-out half-baked shovelware making everyone's PCs and phones worse

Free bitcoin with every toke(n)!

Storing anything with google is a devil’s bargain. Might want to move your Google Photos albums.

I think it’s actually pretty funny that Tesla managed to design themselves into a corner with thousands of software dependencies all hinging on a fairly complex set of hardware dependencies. Fuck them.

To be clear, I think not going all in on AI was the right move, but the execution has been poor. Hope Ternus is a big privacy person!

Ternus is a smart guy who puts smart people in place and I have a feeling he will make some changes to the software org at Apple in time.

IMO, Apple has left a lot of software advantage on the ground in the name of privacy and the fruits of that will work, or won’t.

My hot take is that formulaic suggestions for others to take in specific situations leads to places like Reddit, where everyone is a helpless little baby, unable to do the most basic research or self-awareness.

Trump Administration Takes Steps to Refund $166 Billion in Tariffs

Starting today, companies that paid Trump's illegal tariffs can seek a refund.

You know who won't get any relief? YOU, the consumer, who's paid for them all along.

That's outrageous. Republicans need to join Democrats to stop Trump's stupid tariffs & deliver relief to American families.

Aramark ruins yet another Yosemite treasure.

Sorry if you'd been hoping to have a special occasion dinner. Maximum revenue extraction means fewer choices.

Are you aware that you are admitting this?

I can’t say I’ve got any respect whatsoever for the concerns of people who believed Elon’s bullshit and spent $50k on it because driving is just too tough.

We won’t stop laughing at the scorched sidewalls, ruined wheels, broken cars and other results (dead people) of this software.

I can’t say I’ve got any respect whatsoever for the concerns of people who are up Elon’s bullshit and spent $50k on bullshit.

Fine. Let them sue. We won’t stop laughing at the scorched sidewalls, ruined wheels, broken suspension and other results (dead people) of this asstastic software.

It’s true. I renewed my Onion subscription.

You can imagine how the conversation around Flock is going in Storey county. All our libertarians think it’s good, actually to be tracked and monitored in perpetuity.

I’m pretty sure Reddit exists to give people a place to be crazy and act like little children. Seems like a problem.

You’d have to be stoned to buy this

I’m watching it happen with the people I know at Meta. The smart and competent are experiencing extremely low morale and confusing directives.

To say respect for the CEO exists at all is speculative, yet there exist plenty of yes-people who will drive right into the ditch.

Your writing is a good model of talking with audiences, helping them through concepts and repercussions. Thanks for gifting us with this essay.

I really appreciate your recap - that we don’t know which two digits are at stake here, or when the new millennium begins.

Push polls are so much fun to answer.

21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

Palantir is part of the "regressive and harmful" subculture that destroyed USAID, terminated mRNA research, trashed NIH & CDC & FDA & EPA, and brought back measles. Within the next few years, their subculture will be responsible for more preventable deaths than any other in human history.

Holy shit wait until I tell people about the automobile

Just wanted to let the baseball enjoyers here know I attended a MiLB AAA game the other night. Lots of fun. Weird mascots.

Would like to join your secret society and need to know if an MLB club Is a requirement.

French toast morning with hot coffee and my sweetie and some marmalade to make things just a little sweeter.

Same. the process of cleaning is a hook but I have serious doubts the carpets involved got that way naturally unless they were all in floods…

F yeah
