Relieved I don’t have to go through the Open Claw install ordeal. Most of my work happens in Google.

@ehikian Amazing run Andrea!

after 5+ years, today is my last day at x/twitter. it’s been the most interesting job of my career. i have so much love for this platform, the people building it, && all the internet friends i’ve made along the way.

@sriramk @DavidSacks @realDonaldTrump Wow! Bring public service into the future please. 💪

@earnin r/wallstreetbets!

Where do you go to get money/personal finance advice? 👇

@LondonBreed Please do a better job protecting pedestrians. Doing it properly will require making journeys by car much more inefficient, but the cost is worth it. You’re failing at it now.

Today there was a tragic collision in West Portal. Two lives were lost, including a child. Three more are in the hospital. I’ve just visited the scene and it is heartbreaking. We will share more information when we can, but now our focus is on the victims and their families.

@cyanhex There’s some interesting research on this. Not sure where you are on Andrew Huberman, but what I learned is there’s almost no substitute for real daylight, even on cloudy days. I do remember that there’s some discussion of good lamps for this. hubermanlab.com/episode/journa…

Super Bowl ads and AI generated images demonstrate that surrealism is the most successful art movement in history and I’m so over it.

Last night I was lucky to be among the first group in New York to get to taste chicken grown from a droplet of muscle cells. It was.... DELICIOUS. Succulent, moist, the right texture. Chicken as it should be. Even though full commercialization is a way off, it made me excited for the future. It also made me even more frustrated with a tiredly cynical article in the NYT at the weekend "the revolution that died on the way to dinner". As if it were ever going to be easy to transform the way 8 billion humans feed themselves. This chicken came from Upside Foods, whose founder and CEO @UmaValeti is one of the most inspiring and impressive entrepreneurs I've met. The beautiful facilities he's building will allow this next-gen meat to start to become cost competitive. Let me tell you something about those facilities. They're housed in glass. Nothing to hide. Inside are large, clean metal containers for growing this meat, and growing it in half the time it takes for modern, artificially inflated chickens to grow. Those chickens, by contrast, are not grown behind glass. They're shielded inside closed-off massive meat factories. And for a reason. If we could see the hell-hole of cages, feathers, beaks, chickenshit, bird-flu, antibiotics and, worst of all, brains tortured with a short but horrifying life of suffering, we'd throw up before downing our next drumstick. To imply as the NYT did that next-gen meat will be slowed by some kind of ick factor is a woeful under-estimation of human adaptability. When the truth will out - and it will when there's actually an alternative available - the ick factor will run the other way. This technology really matters. It will probably be impossible to lure humans away from our meat addiction. I personally love meat. I want it to be part of my future. And last night I saw a glimpse of how that can happen in a way that will be both delicious and kind -- to our fellow creatures, and to the planet. I'm not an investor in Upside. But I wish I was. I certainly would not bet against them. When you peel back to the fundamentals, a system in which you're using your nutrients only to grow meat, instead of bone, brain, feathers, claws and beaks, and to do so in a shorter time horizon, has every chance to become cost competitive. I predict the New York Times will be proved embarrassingly wrong on this one. Just because a better future is hard to build, doesn't mean we should stop. For me, I'll throw my lot in with the determined, the visionary. Uma, an honor to meet you.

@cyanhex 👋

🛩️ SFO Nearly six years since I’ve been back in the bay 🤯

Nice work @ram180

Great to see this

All Americans should be horrified and outraged by the brazen terrorist attacks on Israel and the slaughter of innocent civilians. We grieve for those who died, pray for the safe return of those who’ve been held hostage, and stand squarely alongside our ally, Israel, as it dismantles Hamas. As we support Israel’s right to defend itself against terror, we must keep striving for a just and lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike.

@UrbanHikerSF What a cool way to see the city.

Did you know we also do running tours?! We’ve had a blast showing around the folks at Dreamforce this week!

@SawyerMerritt @Tesla Flashing the brights saves the video like honking does now

Reply below with what you think @Tesla should improve. Various Tesla execs/employees follow me, so maybe they'll see some of your responses and implement changes!

Anyone getting dozens of voicemails, less than a minute long, with a single word? @googlefi how do I stop this? Goodbye.
