16 years ago, the BP oil spill devastated the environment and the communities in the Gulf of Mexico. Now, Interior is green-lighting BP’s even riskier, even deeper Kaskida offshore oil project to drill up profits and export oil abroad—all at the expense of our environment.

The Claude app doesn’t see the content on your desktop like Claude Cowork and Claude Code do. But if you wire up a telegram bot as a channel connected to your desktop, it can see all sorts of fun stuff, like your knowledgebase !
I was a little ahead of the curve on Claude Design !

After HarvardXR last night someone asked me if Unreal pays me to say such nice things about their staff & product. I said no I’m just thrilled w/ what a great partner they’ve been for 8+ yrs and I talk about it.
What a nice surprise to come to home to new swag, thanks to @unrealengine.bsky.social !
Today I learned the wifi is always best by the cafe car.
A new study shows that Black women outpace every other group of women in workforce participation. Yet they are still paid less & retire in poverty at twice the rate of white women. This is a system. It is long past time this country started carrying them the way they have carried us.
enjoy!! loved stockholm
Thank you!! I hope it ends up being a useful talk.
Tomorrow!
This is going to be a fun one-- loved that this forced me to look back on the last decade. Also, we might be taking the "From Pixel to Voxel" theme a little too seriously. 😇

Ooof
We're using a heck of a lot of Claude Pro Max right now, but very much to train local LLMs. Frontier models are going to become super expensive in the not too distant future and if you don't want to get priced out, now is the time to get the free models trained up to do what you want them to.

Before the end of the year will be able to talk about it more
Good thread !!
Honestly the lede is an all-timer.
Textbook corporate greed.
We have an amazing new something to play with at our office and it’s very possible it will affect all of our future work and it has nothing to do with AI.

For sure.
6/10 times it’s legitimately faster than me.
3/10 probably we’re about the same speed but my brain didn’t get the satisfaction of working/problem solving.
1/10 I’m down a nightmare rabbithole where I’m constantly hoping we’re one step away from solving the edge case but hours go by and…
Oh and I’m not sleeping enough because there’s always “one more thing” I want to ask it to try working on before I go to bed, then I get pulled into watching Claude think through it all… then suddenly it’s done and I find myself adding one more thing again !
It can now do so many things I can do… but better. I’m learning a lot by seeing some of the shortcuts it uses to tackle various tasks faster than I how I’ve approached them for many years. It’s thrilling for busywork, disconcerting for areas I considered myself more of an expert (eg advanced UE dev)
Claude Code is sucking away my life force, but I’m kind of enjoying it actually?
really can't be said enough that this case was decided by the same court that decided plessy v. ferguson. if they could have found a plausible rationale to limit birthright citizenship they would have done it. but there is none! the text is as clear as constitutional language can be.
