There‘s a growing trend for politicians to “test the waters” by running information campaigns on some questionable change and back off when they have too much pushback, but more and more people would actually act on those campaigns as if they were actual laws already, and they’re right. For one thing here has to be accountability for what is said too, but also that’s like an early warning sign. You have to read the signs. I wonder how many HNW’s Netherlands already lost over their capital gains tax idea

Larry Page is gone. He wasn't just pretending to move to Florida. He has moved. The proposed wealth tax hasn't even passed, and already it has cost California both Larry's presence and all the tax revenue it made from him.

Айтишники, которые не верят, что их заменит ИИ, напоминают мне конюхов в начале 20 века, которые думали, что это вонючая безлошадная телега им не страшна. 🤡

Meredith Whittaker says AI agents make encryption irrelevant. To be useful digital employees, they need system-level access to your messages, browser, files, and clicks. That collapses the blood-brain barrier between applications and the operating system. “Our encryption no longer matters.”

@elsandro @DiscussingFilm It was uncomfortably silly up to the point me and my wife were giving looks to each other “who filmed this and what were they under”. Kids loved it though

@DiscussingFilm Can anyone who has seen the movie say if it is good?

The live-action ‘MINECRAFT’ movie earned $57M in the film’s domestic opening day.
• Biggest opening day for a video game movie ever
• Now tracking for a $150M opening weekend, doubling its projected figure

Instead of doom & gloom we have to promote this vision of AI enabled future. Visualise. Many people are unable to do so out of fear.

@elonmusk There is one problem with this. In order to switch work done for the us government to performance oriented metrics you will have to employ enough qualified people that can set these metrics, formulate the requirements and validate the result.

@elonmusk Please make it remember the whole history of conversations with the user. It will make it infinitely more useful

@gregisenberg Before trying to see AI (or the hand of god for that matter) in everything, one should try "the old ways" - you get very strong negative correlation if you do the statistical analysis on this data and the US base rate data taken with a 1 year delay. It is literally like -0.98

This chart is nuts. Software developer jobs down 70% from peak.
People will blame the end of free money. But something way more interesting is happening.
The middle class engineer is dying. And it's dying because they're not needed anymore.
One good dev with Github Copilot ships what entire teams did five years ago. Microsoft just reported the highest revenue per employee in history.
The "entry-level engineer" doesn't exist anymore.
Instead, we have product builders who happen to code. Armed with AI, they ship entire products in days.
Meanwhile, the truly elite engineers are making more money than ever.
And they've shifted to working mostly on frontier tech. I mean the stuff that's really hard.
AGI at OpenAI.
Designing rockets at SpaceX.
Self-driving car tech at Tesla.
Product builders are becoming solopreneurs and creators Frontier engineers are making hedge fund money
In 2025, "software engineer" doesn't mean what it meant in 2020.
And that's what this chart really shows.
The middle is gone. The top is elite status. And everyone else is becoming a builder.

I did an Exec MBA at University of Oxford 10 years ago, after having worked in various positions in IT for almost 15 years prior to that, from tech and up to higher management. Key thing is everyone had jobs and most were good at their jobs, so it wasn’t about selling yourself to the highest bidder. It was about filling the gaps and broadening the experience by mixing with people from different backgrounds and industries. You don’t get that in a cohort of people who have never worked. I personally would rather hire someone who spent 2 years building something than someone who spent that time getting an MBA before they ever worked.

@Scaleupsimon @HarryStebbings I’m guessing we will soon find out.. Not the same scale or impact on the society for sure but the root cause looks vaguely similar to the tremendous scandal which is now unfolding in the UK
English
@_realomen @HarryStebbings I agree, so why aren't they doing it? It's giving them bad press everyday. I think TBH there has been some sting operations in H2 of last year, there was some arrests for just this type of crime. No wonder the Americans want to hold on to their guns.

I love London, I have lived here my whole life and I am immensely sad to be writing this.
In the last week I have seen 4 phone thefts and tonight had my phone stolen by a bike gang for the 2nd time.
I pay $2M in taxes per year, the lawlessness is off the charts, the entrepreneurs have left, the taxes are higher than ever.
London is sadly falling.
English
I got my phone stolen in front of Burlington arcade. It then reappeared at a particular place in London which could have been easily raided by the police. It’s purely a matter of political will. Setting up a bait operation, having police agents in plain clothes supporting it, catching offenders, making them give up everyone in their gang and then deport. This has been done by police around the world for decades. Detective work 101. One very compact but effective police force could clear the streets from this in a matter of months.
English
I agree, I've seen it happen many, many times around Mayfair. My question is, in reality what can the police do about it? Without having a police car on every street corner in London. Ban these electric bikes? Persuade people that walking around carrying and using a £1200 easily saleable fashion accessory isn't a great idea with gangsters around? You tell me, I'd love to know the answer. My car has been broken into twice in 2 years and my laptop stolen from the boot. How can we fix this, police say mainly asylum seekers, no ID or police record. I had an AirTag in my rucksack on the last occasion and the police didn't have the man power or tech to track it 😭

Obama won 2008 elections by actively using email campaigns. No one has done it on that scale before and that allowed his message to reach his voters without distortion. Trump's campaign made same breakthrough
