People used to read books
The prequels, at the end of the day, are about a young man trying to claim what is rightfully his. And he’s treated with suspicion, contempt, or even outright hatred because of it.
He wants skill, power, influence, order, hierarchy etc. and isn’t afraid to tell people that. He kills the guilt that he used to feel for wanting what he should have.
It’s remarkable how relatable all of this actually is for many young men. Made to feel guilt for who or what they are. Denied what is rightfully theirs by birth. Villainized by a weak, corrupted, aging Republic that has long outlived its usefulness.
Fortunately, everyone seems to be on the same page on this. We’re going to reclaim what is ours.
Make no mistakes
This is INSANE. Cisco’s president Jeetu Patel has given a 27-year-old engineer unlimited AI tokens to try to rewrite 98% of the company’s legacy code within 24 months, Fortune reports.
Padmanabhan Krishnamurthy thinks he can do it with a two-person team. He has just four weeks to prove the approach.
Lmao at this point I’d rather AI just take my job
🦔Anthropic launched “smart reports” for Claude Enterprise this week. A manager picks a team and a date range, and Claude reads the team’s chat transcripts and flags “inefficiencies,” including sessions it labels “personal or off-topic.” Anthropic says the reports shouldn’t be used to evaluate individual workers or make employment decisions.
My Take
Companies cut jobs and pin it on AI, while 90% of executives in one big survey say AI hasn’t made their companies more productive. Now the AI can hand a manager a chart of who looks “inefficient.” Anthropic says not to use it for employment decisions, but Proton just told its staff their jobs depend on an AI re-interview, so I don’t think that line holds for long.
Anthropic also has more than $800 billion in compute and lease commitments to pay for, and this report comes with a button to raise a worker’s spending limit. So it doubles as a sales tool. The catch for Anthropic is that workers who know a manager can read the chart will think twice before they open Claude.

People have been talking about the no star Soviet flag for decades.
Memory is the least reliable sense we have.
This delusion seems to happen every 10 years or so
A new Mandela Effect is rising.
Since when does the Soviet flag carry a star above the hammer and sickle?
Many of us remember it clearly without one.
If you recall the flag without the star… you may be from the old Earth.
Shifted into this denser, clown-world timeline.
The memory itself is the proof.
The body knows.
The soul knows.
We are not crazy.
We are remembering.
I miss the old Earth too.
Yet we are here now to hold the Light and anchor a higher one.
Who else feels this?
How much does X pay for these AI fairy tales?
My father has never hugged me.
Not when I was born. Not at my graduation. Not when I left home.
That's normal for a Japanese father his age. Love is a full gas tank when you visit. A bag of oranges handed over without a word.
Last month, my friend from Texas came to dinner at my parents' house. When it was time to go, he did what Texans do.
He hugged my mother.
Then he turned around and hugged my father.
My father froze. Arms straight down. Like a soldier being hugged by a bear.
Three seconds. Nobody breathed.
After he left, my father sat at the table for a long time. Then he said:
"In America… do they do that with their fathers too?"
"Every time," I said.
He nodded. That was all.
Two weeks later, I went home for dinner. When I was leaving, my father stood up, walked to the door, and put his arms around me.
Badly. Like he was assembling furniture with no instructions.
I'm over forty. It was the first time.
He let go, looked at the floor, and said, "Drive safely."
My mother told me later he'd been practicing on the dog.
Love the pasta.
The real ones have always been here for the Russian roulette. Fuck the bunker, i want to see the flash when it all goes off.
W = MP definitely for sure
So glad I went to grad school for economics otherwise I wouldn’t understand

Who actually wants this?
Sam Altman: AI models will need their own devices so they can stay with you and understand the context of your life.
“The iPhone is probably the greatest piece of consumer hardware ever created.”
“But it wasn’t designed for a world where hardware needs to capture the context of your entire life.”
“My phone is sitting in my pocket, but it’s not going to understand us.”
“I’d want a device that can participate in the conversation, understand it, and know the context.”
“And OpenAI is committed to building something like that.”
AI first hardwares are going to take over soon.
