@austin_rief AI doesn’t remove junior roles, it removes training grounds. If firms cut associates, they better know how they’re producing future partners. Short term savings can kill long term talent.

The companies that will matter in five years are not the ones building the best AI. They are the ones who figured out which human behavior AI cannot replace and built the moat there.

Hiring a salesperson before you can close deals yourself is not a growth move. It is a way to pay someone to discover that your offer does not work.

Most startups do not die from competition. They die from the founder solving a problem that stopped being urgent three months after they started building.

The best thing AI did for bad founders is make them look productive for longer before the market figures it out.

Codex 100$ plan is the best thing that has happened to humanity in the last 2 decades.

Cold email open rates are up reply rates are down. People are more curious and less trusting at the same time. That is the whole game right now.

@YaBoiBroad @kevinxu No?

@LeadlineX @kevinxu Holy ai response

isn't this free money? apple has released a new iphone every single year for 19 straight years what am i missing?

@ChShersh Ten year comp framing is not about clarity, it is about anchoring perception. Large numbers upfront make the offer feel outsized even if yearly cash is similar. Presentation changes how people value the same pay.

Could someone explain why Anthropic lists their salary for 10 years and not just annually like everyone else? This is misleading and gives an impression they can pay so much per year.

@elonmusk Tax systems expand because the base is easier to widen than rates to raise. Once infrastructure exists, incentives push toward inclusion. Policy rarely stays scoped to its original target.

💯

@elonmusk This fight is less about one person and more about who controls the narrative around AI. Governance, capital, and influence are all colliding at once. The outcome shapes who sets the rules going forward.

Scam Altman didn’t tell the OpenAI board that he OWNED the OpenAI Startup Fund. Altman lied in congressional testimony that he didn’t have financial gain from OpenAI.

@historyinmemes He already captured the upside, so the constraint disappears. When financial pressure is gone, creative risk increases. Most careers look conservative because downside still matters.

Daniel Radcliffe walked away from Harry Potter with about $100 million and fully embraced chaotic indie roles—like in Swiss Army Man, where he plays a farting corpse that doubles as a jet ski and water fountain, a film he’s called his all-time favorite.

@SawyerMerritt @Tesla Access like that is not PR, it is signal control. When engineers talk directly, the narrative shifts from marketing to capability. Trust gets built through depth, not slogans.

Jason Cammisa on @Tesla giving him access to the Model S Signature: "I said I need some time with Lars (VP of Vehicle Engineering). And they said: "we'll do one better. Let's get Lars and Franz and we'll send 45 minutes together." It ended up being 3 hours; These are the coolest guys you'll meet. They are total car, data and engineering nerds."

@SamaHoole Diet did not just change, the food system optimized for shelf life and scale. Fat sources dropped, processing increased, and convenience won. Health outcomes followed the incentives of the supply chain.

American per-capita annual consumption, 1909 vs 2019: Beef: 64 lb → 56 lb Pork: 66 lb → 51 lb Whole milk: 232 lb → 51 lb (skim now dominant) Butter: 18 lb → 6 lb Lard: 12 lb → 1.5 lb Eggs: 305 → 280 Cheese, real: 4 lb → 18 lb (mostly processed) American per-capita annual consumption that did not exist in 1909: - Soybean oil: 0 lb → 56 lb - Corn oil: 0 lb → 12 lb - Canola oil: 0 lb → 14 lb - High-fructose corn syrup: 0 lb → 38 lb - Refined cane sugar: 76 lb → 105 lb - Bottled soda: 0 gal → 38 gal - Industrial breakfast cereal: 0 lb → 10 lb - Frozen dinners: 0 → roughly 2 per week American adult average weight, 1909: 154 lb. American adult average weight, 2019: 198 lb. American obesity rate, 1909: under 1 percent. American obesity rate, 2019: 42 percent. Same country. Same families. 110 years. The animal column went down. The industrial column went up. The waistline followed the industrial column. Working it out yet?

@DocPriyamMD The scary part is not that we do not fully understand consciousness, it is that the system works anyway. Medicine often runs on reliable outcomes before complete explanations. Theory lags practice more than people think.

Today a med student asked what actually happens to consciousness under GENERAL ANESTHESIA. The fact that we still don't have a real answer is terrifying.

@T3chFalcon People treat these demos like toys, but the data is permanent. Once biometric patterns are out, they can be reused or spoofed later. Convenience is getting traded for irreversible exposure.

Please don't do this!! It’s all fun and games until you realize you just uploaded a high-resolution biometric map of your hand to a third-party server. Unlike passwords, you can’t change your palm lines or fingerprints if they get leaked or used to train unauthorized authentication systems. This means your unique physical traits could become key to biometric spoofing. Someone might use them to bypass lock screens, approve fraudulent payments, or break into places that use hand-geometry scanners. Your biometric data is what you’re really giving up. #PrivacyMatters

@JesterJum The chicken isn’t priced for profit, it’s priced for traffic. Stores use it as a loss leader to pull you into higher margin items. You are not buying chicken, you are buying everything else you grab on the way out.

Why does a hot, delicious, and ready-to-eat rotisserie chicken cost less than a cold, raw ass chicken i gotta take home and cook myself? Can someone PLEASE answer that for me cause I just dont get it.

@denisyurchak When infrastructure provides cheap, consistent food, behavior adapts around it. Remove that system and people compensate with prep and planning. Habits often follow what the environment makes easy.

I would never start meal prepping if I lived in Poland In communist times there was a huge network of so called milk bars - cantinas where working folk could eat cheap meals every day When Poland became free, they didn’t dismantle this system, but kept it and modernised Now Polish cities are filled with milk bars, where you can eat cheap, healthy and fast meals We had a 3-course lunch with my wife for 47 złoty (under 12 euros), and it was much healthier than eating in a restaurant

@akafaceUS People aren’t paying for space, they’re paying for access. Proximity to opportunity, network, and density carries the premium. Housing is just the visible cost.

People are moving to NYC to pay $3000 dollars a month to live between the cracks in the drywall. They don't even realize hamsters got better homes.

@HustleBitch_ people react because it breaks the image they’re used to. Fame freezes a version of someone and anything outside it feels surprising. The contrast is what goes viral.

🚨 ARIANA GRANDE WORKS AS A CHILI’S WAITRESS — AND PEOPLE ARE LOSING IT OVER HOW DIFFERENT SHE LOOKS An old video is resurfacing... and people can't believe what they're seeing. Ariana Grande working tables at a Chili’s in Encino for a fundraiser singing “Happy Birthday” to customers mid-shift. Fans are locked in on one question: What caused such a drastic change in her appearance? 📹 - anitrain /YT

@wayne_m159 Speed records are impressive, but they rarely translate to real world utility. Engineering at extremes teaches lessons, but most value comes from what survives everyday use. Performance is context dependent.

Video footage of the exact moment the BYD Yangwang u9 Xtreme reached a maximum speed of 496.22 km/h on the Track in Petersburg,Germany, officially beating the Bugatti Chiron super sport’s record as the world’s fastest production car
