This is good.
Incredible work @jgebbia and team
Amazing design and agent experience in a US govt product is mind blowing 🤯
Today we’re launching America.gov, a single front door to the federal government.
Instead of opening a bunch of tabs across different agency sites and trying to figure out which information actually matters to you, you can ask America a question and get the relevant answer from across 29,000+ official government websites, with the source and what to do next.

This is how it's done
We instituted an official AI Writing Policy at @Clay.
Massive thanks to @sophiebits on our engineering team who wrote this.
Originally this was just for eng, but other teams found it so helpful we expanded it company-wide.
Here are the four guiding principles:
1. You must stand behind every idea and sentence
It is your responsibility to make sure that the entire document is representative of your own thoughts before you share it.
2. Writing is thinking
Spending time on the writing process teaches you more about your topic. If you circumvent this process, you will walk away with a poorer understanding of the subject matter.
3. More time should be spent writing a document than consuming it
If you generate a document from a short prompt then ask your readers to go through the longer output, you are disrespecting their time. They can talk to ChatGPT themselves if they want to.
4. Longer is not better
AI makes it easy to generate long docs, and it loves padding them with sentences that say nothing. If you're producing docs from a short prompt, consider just sharing the prompt.
You can read (and borrow) the full policy below. Hopefully we all communicate a bit more clearly now :)

Showing your landing page to your ideal customer in person and watching them scroll and click in real time while you force yourself to stay silent will teach you more about conversion rate optimization than a month of analytics.

I’m convinced adaptability is the highest form of intelligence. Knowledge matters, but the ability to unlearn and change course is rare. The most impressive people I know change their minds often in response to new information. The goal isn't to be right. It's to find the truth.

at this point, @tryramp has created their own narrative and marketing lane that is unlike any other (especially in fin tech). fun, real-time, and has the product agility and execution to back it up. 🙌 @eglyman @diegozaks and team

Lazy work used to mean too little output.
Now, with AI, it often means too much and more work for everyone else.
@tobi call it "slop grenades."
A "Slop Grenade" is when you let AI produce the work and pass it on without adding any value (including checking it).
Someone else has to wade through it, catch the mistakes, and clean up the mess.
You save time and look productive but someone else pays for it.

I finally have all 1.2 million raw image files from my latest mission to ISS! Here is a sample of one of my favorite Milky Way photos, taken from the Cupola with Nikon Z9, Arri Zeiss 15mm lens, T1.8 with custom sidereal drive that cancelled out star motion relative to our orbit.

Today is America's 250th birthday.
1 year ago, I became of citizen of the USA.
America is the one place where chasing your crazy idea makes people root for you. Whatever the idea is.
A startup nobody asked for. A pop-punk band at 30. A weird little product you can't stop thinking about.
You say it out loud here and people get excited and ask how they can help. That's the magic.
Other places I've lived, I've gotten torn town. Not here.
The USA celebrates you for going after the thing you actually want to build. 250 years in, the best thing America still gives you is permission.
Permission to try. Permission to reinvent yourself. Permission to believe you can do better than the people who came before you.
It isn't perfect. No place is. But I think it's worth celebrating.
Happy birthday to the best place on earth to build your dream.
I'm grateful to be part of it.
Today, I officially became a citizen of the USA.
I’ve lived in other countries. Built companies in other ecosystems.
But there’s still nothing like America.
The optimism. The permission to reinvent yourself. The way people bet on ideas before they make sense.
Nowadays, you can build from anywhere, but America still feels like the home court for builders.
Just a feeling I have.
Where ambition isn’t seen as ego.
Where people want you to win.
Where capital, talent, and story all collide.
This country was built by people who thought they could do better.
That energy is still here.
Still infectious.
Grateful to officially be part of it.

As it wasn't an official sponsor of the FIFA World Cup, Levi's was asked to hide its logo on Levi's Stadium (Santa Clara, California).
And they did it in the smartest way possible. #WorldCup #FIFAWorldCup #Levis
