Oh, I don't know, maybe he did it because you're running on a platform of "let's take all of Elon Musk's stuff and throw him in the gulag"?
Elon Musk is dumping half a billion dollars into Republican races. Why? Because Democrats in Congress won’t be a rubber stamp for Donald Trump and will actually fight to lower costs.

i personally dont really care about the downward thrust, but the lateral and rear thrust... dude, that could make for some crazy fun on track. wonder how much time and kWh it takes to compress that much air. that's a lot of mass.

seems like a good way to get way less work done. i don’t know about the rest of you but i am now unable to manually do work that ai can do. it feels like a huge waste of time. these people are going to be sitting on their hands.
New: Accenture has told employees it will only fund $29 per month of Claude use. Meaning that employees who often spend as much as $1,000 a month are now scrambling to find ways to keep access to the tool. A sign of the continuing crack down of AI 404media.co/accenture-tells-…

i had my @Muse make a sharable web app for my voting guide. asked it to research every issue on my particular ballet and present each side like @Ground_app might do it. be neutral and give me the facts. not bad... one shot. muse.ai/s/ballot-guide-xjxm6…

i can't wait until this hits the sciences 🤩
NYU math professor Tristan Buckmaster says OpenAI’s Tuesday drop of 722 AI-generated math papers wiped out entire research programs: “This recent dump of papers on Tuesday destroyed the careers of early career mathematicians.”

The people who keep complaining about having children—how hard and stressful it is, how expensive it is—should be quiet. They’re just discouraging everyone else from this heavenly experience. They’re kids; they need attention, and it’s such a pleasure to care for them, be their safe haven, and hold them when they need to be comforted because of discomfort. And of course it costs money, but so do lunches, dinners, and nonsense shopping. It’s been one month so far, and everyone says the first months are awful. I think it's beautiful. I’m enjoying the activities around my baby, and it’s so cute. Best. Don’t listen to the negative people. If you're on a fence to have a baby, do it! (I have so many girlfriends reaching out to me saying they want kids now too, because I’m showing them how nice it is. And I’m a boss babe too! It can be done.)

i can't decide if computer/browser use agents are good or bad for executive dysfunction. on the one hand i'm getting more uninteresting/necessary work done than ever. on the other hand i can't seem to make myself use software at all. the act of using a mouse or typing for anything other than communication or fun now gets categorized in that "can't force myself to do it no matter how hard i try" category.

someone has to be working on a specialized model to solve this problem, right?
I'm getting increasingly tired of thinking about reasoning effort levels. In the near future, models will reason as much or as little as needed, and we'll feel silly for exposing 5+ options in a dropdown.

ok so @amazon blocking @Muse has ruined my day. i'm literally using it to buy stuff. why are we being blocked?!

We're adding support for AGENTS.md to Claude Code. Starting today in version 2.1.277, if there is no CLAUDE.md in a folder, Claude will check for and use AGENTS.md. You can toggle this behavior in /config.

exactly, deflation is the only option.
Unpopular opinion: Software should get cheaper. If AI lets us build in 2 days what used to take 2 months, why are we still pricing it like nothing changed? We can’t have 10x productivity without prices eventually coming down.

would be great if @bot generated unique fun names by default when creating new bots. trying to build teams and have to think too hard.

finally started using @bot. first instinct: freaked out at the lack of control over everything. a few minutes later: yeah this is what normal people will want.
