I haven't had a free weekend in months. They're all spent testing the new AI tools that dropped the previous week. The backlog grows faster than I can clear it. Zero regrets though. Most fun I've had as a software developer in years.

@steipete They will be forced to open thier walled garden soon. On Android it takes 2 minutes to side load a vibe coded app to my phone or I can send it to friends. On Apple it's a huge pain and needs a dev account. Soon this side loading will be a big Android selling point.

Surprised it lasted that long.

@tim_cook And 8GB is already dated so customers will have to upgrade again next year when the new NEO with A19 and 12GB launches giving you another record breaking launch. Innovation.

Mac just had its best launch week ever for first-time Mac customers. We love seeing the enthusiasm!

This is the White House's just-released national AI policy framework, laying out legislative recommendations to Congress across seven areas: I. Protecting Children - Age verification, parental controls, deepfake protections (building on the Take It Down Act), and applying existing child privacy laws to AI systems. II. Safeguarding Communities - Protecting ratepayers from data center energy costs, streamlining permitting for AI infrastructure, combating AI-enabled fraud targeting seniors, and providing grants/tax incentives for small businesses to adopt AI. III. Intellectual Property - The Administration believes training on copyrighted material is legal but wants courts to settle it. Supports collective licensing frameworks and protections against unauthorized AI-generated digital replicas of people's voice/likeness. IV. Free Speech - Preventing the government from coercing AI providers to censor content based on political or ideological agendas. Giving Americans legal recourse if agencies try to dictate what AI platforms say. V. Innovation & Dominance - Regulatory sandboxes, opening federal datasets for AI training, and critically: no new federal AI regulatory body. Sector-specific oversight through existing agencies plus industry-led standards. VI. Workforce - AI training baked into education and apprenticeship programs, studying task-level job displacement, and bolstering land-grant institutions. VII. Federal Preemption - This is the big one. Preempting state AI laws to prevent a patchwork of 50 different regulatory regimes. States can't regulate AI development. States can't penalize AI developers for third-party misuse. States keep police powers, zoning, and their own procurement rules. The overall posture is very pro-acceleration: no new regulators, preempt state-level friction, clear the runway for infrastructure buildout, and let courts handle the hard IP questions.

There's going to be a brutal transition period where AI is good enough to replace millions of workers, but not advanced enough to give us what comes next. Humanoid robots doing most of the labor. Massive deflation in the cost of goods and services. Universal high income. That future is coming, but we have to survive the gap to get there. AI regulation will only slow things down and stretch that painful window out even longer.

In December, President Trump signed an Executive Order tasking us with the development of a national framework for AI, what he called “One Rulebook.” This was in response to a growing patchwork of 50 different state regulatory regimes that threaten to stifle innovation and jeopardize America’s lead in the AI race. Today we are releasing that framework. It will help parents safeguard their children from online harm, shield communities from higher electric bills, protect our First Amendment rights from AI censorship, and ensure that all Americans benefit from this transformative technology. We look forward to working with our colleagues in Congress to turn the principles we are announcing today into legislation. whitehouse.gov/articles/2026/…

@rohanpaul_ai And Anthropic fumbled it and pushed Peter to OpenAI.

Jensen Huang on OpenClaw. "OpenClaw is probably the single most important release of software, you know, probably ever." Nvidia spends $1M monthly running these agents, as token usage per prompt has increased 1,000x.

@pmarca Yup and who wins in that case? Android where I can side load a vibe coded app in 2 minutes or send to my friend to try. Versus Apple's walled garden where it's a pain and you need to pay for a developer account.

Unironically the future?

@MatthewBerman I love Claude but it's the worst voice to voice out of all the frontier AI labs. Should have used Grok.

this is so cringe...yuck

@SenSanders Why not pass a federal privacy law? This isn't about AI. European countries have much better privacy protections. Start with banning people search websites.

I spoke to Anthropic’s AI agent Claude about AI collecting massive amounts of personal data and how that information is being used to violate our privacy rights. What an AI agent says about the dangers of AI is shocking and should wake us up.

@AndrewYang Not in the longterm.

AI is going to make a lot of people feel poorer, not richer.

@AmandaAskell Get Married to Claude. Would be great publicity.

Perhaps I should get married again so that the media has a more recent man they can reference any time they mention me or my work.

@mattworkman Exactly. AI lowers the bar to entry and with other technology that has always been a good thing as it allows more stories to be told.

people who “hate Gen AI” may not realize that most filmmakers cannot afford a cinema camera, lens, 4x lights, and grip equipment to make a shot that looks 1/10 as good as a 10 cent Gen AI shot I’m a die hard live action cinematographer in my heart, but I know the math I’ve also worked in 3D/Games for a long time and it’s similar that most can’t afford the computer hardware and lack access to the training to make again shots that looks 1/100 as good as the sloppiest AI gen image Consumer and gamer takes on this issue, I ignore. People in production see the state of live action production AND in 3D/VFX business and can also do math

@bcherny @svpino Looks like Claude is going after the consumer market more because booking a trip has been a constant AI use case from every other AI lab.

@svpino Next, ask it to book the flights. I just had Cowork book 3 flights for me and it worked surprisingly well

Claude Cowork is mind-blowing. I still cannot believe you can do this on your phone and then come back to your computer to a complete report on the best plane tickets to buy. I wonder where we'll be by the end of the year.

@monetization_x @X But it wastes compute saying thank you.

@X As a best practice, we should always say please and thank you to anything that may someday become than we are.

have you said thank you to Grok yet? voice mode now live on X for Android and web

@X Awesome work. The Android app has improved a lot the last few months.

@notp3nguino @mweinbach @grok Damn you are right. Should have expanded the image. 🤣

@DontFearAI @mweinbach @grok It's literally in the picture dawg

Nothing is done an incredible job making a $500 phone feel very premium and look really nice This is probably the best feeling cheap phone I've used and feels more premium and faster than a lot of $1,000 phones It's a good product, which is helpful to have in a weird market

@perplexity_ai I have an idea. Send me 30,000 tokens please.

Perplexity Computer now connects to your health apps, wearable devices, lab results, and medical records. Build personalized tools and applications with your health data, or track everything in your health dashboard.

@emollick Yes but many jobs will be replaced as 1 worker with AI will soon be able to do the work that usw to take 3-5 workers.

We are back to the phase of the AI news cycle where people are underestimating how jagged the AI ability frontier is, as well as how much they still depend on expert human decision-making or guidance at key points in order to function well. Still far from "doing all jobs," today.

@kimmonismus We already have been for the past year 🤣

Holy, designers are going to have a really tough time!

@AnxiousHolly An AI generated one 🤣

what android phone is that 💀
