Let it handle all your mundane administrative tasks like booking travel!
I find these takes really confusing.
you have a 150 IQ+ tireless genius living in your computer. it can use your browser and read your email and access any file you want. it won't complain if you give it the most tedious administrative tasks. it is willing to work 24/7 for less than minimum wage. it can work unsupervised for hours at a time.
and you can't think of any way to put it to use?
are you completely lacking in imagination or do you enjoy mundane administrative tasks? you enjoy paying parking tickets and triaging emails and manually unsubscribing from spam and vetting credit card payments and canceling subscriptions and renegotiating insurance? you like doing that?
To the skeptics: This is just fresh, ear-to-the-ground tech reporting about this company that launched publicly over a year ago. It's NOT an ad and I don't know why you'd think that.
.@Polymarket @Kalshi are markets up yet for when we see Platner's hog? Leaving money on the table
Artist’s rendering of guy forlornly shouting “FEEEEEMALES” on /r/incels in 2013. Masterfully done.
It’s totally fine and reasonable to think Graham Platner is a bad person and shouldn’t be a Senator. But if you don’t understand this is how every “omg campaign ending oppo dump” is gonna go, you profoundly don’t understand the moment in American politics
This is fine if you want to be left behind, but if you're truly cracked, I'm building the only AI connected to this guy's AI.

Adam Jentleson’s extremely embarrassing “heterodox” think tank has been online for over a year, pays thousands of dollars annually for that gold check mark, and has less followers than i do

Let's be clear that this is either delusional or deeply idiotic. Everyone is just going to build an AI business from their bedroom? Selling what? To who? AI is not some magic box that gives everyone money.

NJ primary is on 6/2 and ballot access deadline is long past. Kean will be nominated even if he announces today that he's out of the race (or if he's dead). If he's out, GOP committee members pick a new nominee.
I suspect they know he's out of the race and are both a) scrambling to coalesce around a nominee and b) playing out the clock to prevent potential grassroots insurgency (e.g., someone they don't like spins up a write-in campaign, obviously loses to Kean in a landslide but gets enough votes to make the nomination a shouting match instead of a coronation)
Ignoring the AI of it all for now as that it's own pyschosis, there's a truth that everyone who's ever been very good at something knows: This is near-exclusively a signal of a low performer.
If you want to know which guy in the office is the one who never accomplishes anything, just listen for the phrase "sense of urgency." It's that guy.
The one who takes 6 weeks of PTO a year and spends a couple hours snacking and BSing every day is the one who knows he can do his job and a couple others without breaking much of a sweat.

I use AI for a lot of things, but this is a pretty bonkers anecdote from Nat Friedman, the former CEO of GitHub. theatlantic.com/technology/2…
I empathize with this because no doubt jobs have gotten worse and the 90s look pretty great by comparison.
But the youth can’t conceptualize what it was like to work a job like this with no phone/no internet/no headphones.
“Three years deep into the company newsletter archive on the intranet” is a different level of bored

A lot worth reading in this excellent piece from Rob, but to me this anecdote tells a lot of the story.
We wanted to post about Project 2025 on Kamala HQ. Others wanted to rename it “Donald Trump's Extreme Agenda” because they thought that would test better in focus groups.
Project 2025 was a real plan with a real name. The instinct to sand down every sharp edge, run everything through a filter, and replace a real thing with a poll-tested substitute is how you end up with tactics but no brand.
So, I actually talked to the DNC autopsy.
Here’s everything I told ‘em, and more:
