That’s the problem with Tailscale, nobody ever talks about us. Best kept secret. Why are you all keeping your friends in the dark like this

The right approach for AI regulation should start with something like the NTSB
Haize began as an independent safety evaluator for frontier models, so I’m certainly sympathetic to Dario’s Pace the Frontier proposal but I’m skeptical embedded evaluators are sufficient some questions and four possible alternatives: leonardtang.me/blog/alternat…

Dear friends who are using one of the AI design systems: it is very easy to pay a few bucks for a typeface from a service like @futurefonts. You’ll look a little different and make the world a better place!

Usage is up!
1. Roll out articles so people can write really long tweets. These will mostly be written by AI 2. Then, use AI to summarize those articles back into tweets

We’re rolling out summaries for Articles now. Just tap the Summarize button if you want to know if it’s worth your time to read it (or if your attention span is 12 seconds).

A 100M$ dollar raise that somehow includes both Bain Crypto and The Knight Foundation. The future is amazing; much stranger than i imagined.
Last April, Bluesky raised $100M in Series B funding led by Bain Capital Crypto. Since then: 13M → 43M+ users. Join us. bsky.social/about/blog/03-19…

I think Sinofsky’s insight extends to social artifacts in general. Once everyone can do something, you aren’t differentiated. Once you aren’t differentiated, nobody cares...

I am much more vehement about this. I think that OpenAI's product choices are deeply deeply antisocial and inhumane. The way that they've implemented chat bots are isolating, sycophantic and have no reality in your relationships with others save for how you represent them.
i have a theory that those more susceptible to relationships with chatbots do not have groupchats in their lives the groupchat is, imo, an indispensable part of modern life in a world where we commune IRL less one needs a place to BS and get checked by friends on dumb stuff

These are _choices_ that OpenAI, Anthropic et al have made. There's no reason these technologies _have to_ work like this. Even Grok here is at least mildly more social in terms of how people interact with it.

And we can reflect on which scifi stories or tropes chat bots most resemble. It's definitely not StarTrek's Data or Starfleet's ship computers. For my money it's more like virtual reality in the Red Dwarf books.

The ATProto dev community is on the cusp of some amazing new things. Dan Abramov imploded his account here, but he just published a deep dive into the promise of ATProto: overreacted.io/open-social/

And yet, people continue looking to it across the political spectrum.
political violence is never the answer praying for this nation…

This incredible incompetence of the FBI under Kash Patel seems like a huge story.
Crazy that this guy was literally talking about his plans to shoot up this church for a month on the open internet, but @FBIDirectorKash and @PamBondi are too busy going after imaginary MS-13 Home Depot workers, if only they were doing their jobs instead. :(

Breakneck is full of original reporting, smart insights, and details about China I can’t find anywhere else. @Noahpinion and I are hosting a chat on 8/22 with @danwwang before the book comes out. Details here: lu.ma/gk9j5v06
