Pretty smart of z.ai to have copy page and toggle for markdown vice. I do so much CMD+A and copy/paste on web pages.

> Executive Briefing: Cheap Intelligence Won’t Matter If Your Context Is Trapped many people here likely follow @natebjones and today's executive briefing prompted me (I know) to rework my Obsidian brain/wiki skills to work across all my harnesses: claude, Codex, and agy.

Lower Saxony is a major VW shareholder pushing the company to build Chinese-designed cars in German factories rather than close them. Blume called it "a very intelligent solution." Those are the same factories the 100,000-job restructuring targeted for closure.

V8 take rate in half-ton trucks: 65% in 2020, 38% in 2024. Ford quietly dropped the Coyote from its two most expensive F-150 trims, no announcement, just a configurator change. Ram brought the HEMI back after customers revolted. GMC added new V8s to the redesigned Sierra.

Mixed feelings on the whole loop engineering thing. On one hand, YES PLEASE. We have been automating the loop for decades, it is literally part of our jobs! More is good! But I worry that we’ll go the wrong way and replace deterministic processes with uncertain ones.
