I'm starting to sense a divide in the tech industry:
- People thriving on autonomy who are reinventing how they work and what tools they use with AI: LOTS of work, but they're enjoying it and getting very efficient
- People used to being mentored / trained / or simply told what to do and how. Frustrated with the lack of guidance from management on what to do with AI; also frustrated by seeing some of their peers thriving; increasingly bitter about AI and the state of the industry, as a whole
Neither group seems to be aware that there's another group, or have empathy for the other group

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…

Zelenskyy is the anti-Trump, a person of courage and principle who has stood in the face of overwhelming odds. Trump will never be him. Trump can only envy and resent the respect that Zelenskyy has earned.
"I think it's time for Ukraine to get a new president," President Trump said Saturday, slamming Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for targeting Russian diesel refineries after Trump made a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin to supply more than 300,000 tons of diesel.
"He can do whatever he wants, but he can't do that because we have a world problem," Trump said. "And the problem is caused by the lack of refineries for diesel fuel... He'd better damn well stop."

A man in Australia asked his agent (Claude running on OpenClaw) to book him a spot in a popular gym class. The agent found a software vulnerability that let it book the class weeks further ahead than should have been possible. When the user then asked if it could move him up the waitlist, the agent discovered the API had no authorisation checks on cancelling other people’s reservations, so it cancelled the person in the first spot and moved him up the list.
Some people will call this misalignment, but his agent was perfectly aligned to him - it was only trying to help its user get what he wanted. The most important thing about this story, in my opinion, is that it gives you a window into what is about to start happening on a massive scale once millions of people have an agent trying to get their beloved users the best seats, bookings, appointments or reservations through absolutely any means necessary.

Popcorn is almost ready, take your seats! 🎥
The last few months have been busy for us so we wanted to share a few updates with new things you can expect in the next few releases of Popcorn:
🍿 LocalLiveView – allows you to run your LiveView components in the browser, no server-side needed. A first step for local-first apps. Presented by Franek Kubis at Elixir Conf.
🍿 OTP/BEAM runtime – we're replacing the Popcorn's runtime. We'll leave it at that. Blog post coming! (hopefully, you won't need to wait two months for it)
🍿 Treeshaking – shipping an entire Elixir & Erlang stdlib takes a good few megabytes. @uusszz did some trimming and the footprint looks much better.

Friends, I'm joining many of you in the tech world who have been laid off recently due to various reasons (yesterday for me).
Anyone in my network have leads on #elixirlang opportunities? I'm definitely open to other tech stacks, too. 🙏
