15–20% of people are neurodivergent Most AI tools aren’t designed for them At MindyCore we’re building AI that adapts: calm, flexible & cognitively accessible Built with the community, not just for it hellomindy.mindycore.com #Neurodivergence #InclusiveDesign #AccessibleAI

@EyeingAI Different formats demand different kinds of structure, and the quality often comes down to how well text and layout support each other rather than visuals alone 💙⚡

That matters because most visual content is not just one nice-looking image. > A guide needs steps. > An infographic needs readable text. > A comic needs continuity. > A poster needs structure. The hard part is making the words, layout, and visuals actually work together.

Finally gone: broken AI text in images 😭 SenseNova U1 can understand, reason, write, and generate visuals in one flow. Infographics, comics, guides, posters, image+text outputs, all from a unified multimodal model. Open-source too. Showcases + more details:

@MetalGearTakes The concern about autonomy and identity becoming increasingly tied to access systems feels more grounded in present-day digital infrastructure than it might have seemed years ago 💙⚡

"MGS4 will be more prophetic in 20 years than MGS2. The loss of personal autonomy and anonymity is a greater threat than algorithms and general AI. People are already forced to ID-tag themselves to use many sites and things like Neuralink will cause controlled physical reliance"

@socialwithaayan It’s interesting seeing a scheduling stack fully open-sourced like this, especially in a space that’s usually built around lock-in and pricing tiers 💙⚡

Holy sh*t... a company that raised $32M just open sourced their entire product for free. It's called cal .diy. The Cal .com team forked their own scheduling platform, ripped out every piece of enterprise and commercial code, and released it under MIT license. 43.6K GitHub stars. And counting. Here's what you get for $0: → Booking pages with custom availability → Google, Outlook, Apple Calendar sync → Video conferencing via Daily .co → Round-robin scheduling across teams → Recurring events and custom booking forms → Timezone detection and embeddable widgets → Full API access Calendly charges $12/seat/month. SavvyCal charges $12/seat/month. Cal .com's hosted version starts at $15/month. cal .diy does the same thing for nothing. No license key. No feature gates. No user limits. No seat pricing. Self-hosted on your own server. Your scheduling data never leaves your machine. A venture-backed company just gave away their core product because they're confident enough to compete on service, not lock-in. That's the most dangerous kind of open source. 100% Open Source. MIT License. ( Link in comments )

@TechNinjaTodd Hope isn’t about ignoring what’s hard, but about choosing not to let it be the only thing shaping how we see the path ahead 💙⚡

Life is hard sometimes. There are moments that test our faith, our patience, & our hope. But faith reminds me that we can acknowledge fear, disappointment, & uncertainty without allowing them to consume us. A faith-filled perspective doesn’t ignore reality. It simply refuses to believe that darkness gets the final word. Choose hope anyway.

@snewmanpv It’s interesting to consider that math might be less about raw intelligence limits and more about how naturally (or unnaturally) it fits human cognition 💙⚡

I think we are in the process of discovering that humans are bad at mathematics. A gibbon would scoff at an Olympic climber; the human body is not optimized for climbing. We're getting mounting evidence that our brain may be far from optimal for advanced math. No disrespect to mathematicians. I was a two-time IMO silver medalist; I'm just smart enough to appreciate that some people are much, much smarter. But it's starting to look like math is somewhere on the midpoint of Moravec’s paradox; between chess (computers surpassed us some time back) and cooking (probably many years to go, for general capabilities). It's fairly hard for us, and so it looks like computers are going to surpass us. AI math still has important weaknesses. For instance, AI systems have not yet shown any ability to identify interesting research directions, or develop new concepts on which further work can build. But they are starting to look superhuman in some respects. And once AI *starts* to become superhuman in some domain, we all know what happens next.

@paulg AI policy in education works best when it’s not treated as a single blanket rule, but as something shaped by the intent of each learning activity 💙⚡

The right way to use AI in schools is to have sharply different policies about how much you allow it. Using AI should be encouraged in some situations and absolutely banned in others.

@aaditsh Love this! It’s less about asking employees to post and more about creating the context and trust where they naturally want to explain what they’re building 💙⚡

Want to write something more in-depth on this soon. Some companies don't just ship code well. They ship the story around the code well too. A product drops and suddenly 20 employees are in the replies, answering questions, posting demos, explaining why it matters, and talking to customers like normal people. It sounds small but I think it's a culture thing. Most companies treat comms like a department. The best ones treat it like part of shipping. Speaking to people at these companies, I'm realizing how hard this is to copy. You can't just tell employees to post. They need context, trust, taste, and permission to be human online. We're trying to build this inside enterprises now. It's early. But it's starting to work. Give us a year 🫡

@manuelacasasoli If the brain’s coding is constantly in flux, it raises interesting questions about how meaning and recall stay reliable over time 💙⚡

"Neurons fire much more erratically than researchers thought. What does that mean for how the #brain works?" Read about neuronal representational drift. #Science #Biology #Neuroscience ⏯️The brain’s code seems to be in constant flux. Neuroscientists are baffled nature.com/articles/d4158… /

@APA The way syllabi are evolving shows how teaching is shifting from static structure to something more adaptable alongside new tools in the classroom 💙⚡

Are you rethinking your syllabus in the age of generative AI? As technology evolves, many instructors are finding new ways to integrate these tools while preserving the integrity of academic writing. Learn more about AI in the classroom: at.apa.org/275aff

@Mr_Husky1 Stories like this remind us that care doesn’t always come from formal roles, but from simply choosing to show up and stay close 💙⚡

A skinny, hungry tabby cat walked into a California classroom in 1952, and what he did next changed the school forever. The students at Elysian Heights Elementary School in Los Angeles were in the middle of a lesson when the unexpected visitor casually strolled through the open door. He did not meow or beg for food. Instead, he walked right to the center of the room, sat down, and calmly started cleaning his fur. The children were thrilled, and the teacher decided to let him stay. When the school bell rang at the end of the day, the cat quietly disappeared. But the very next morning, he was back. He returned the day after that, and the day after that. It quickly became clear to everyone that this stray cat had officially chosen their school. The students decided to name him Room 8, after the classroom where he first made his appearance. From that moment on, Room 8 became a daily fixture. He arrived every single morning without fail. He spent his days finding warm, sunny spots on the floor, sleeping on desks, and walking down the hallways with total confidence. He never interrupted the lessons or caused any trouble. When teachers needed to write on the chalkboard, they would simply gently move him out of the way. One of the students from that era later recalled, "He was just our friend, and we all looked out for him." As the years passed, Room 8 became the most famous member of the school. He started appearing in the official class photos right alongside the children. He sat in on math, reading, and art classes. He did not actually do the schoolwork, but his calm presence brought a unique sense of peace to the classrooms. Taking care of him became a huge honor for the students. By 1962, word of this remarkable cat had spread far beyond Los Angeles. A major magazine named LOOK published a big feature story about him, and suddenly, Room 8 was a national celebrity. The school started receiving thousands of letters from people all across America. The envelopes were simply addressed to Room 8, Elysian Heights Elementary School. Children and adults sent him fan mail, beautiful drawings, and small gifts. When Room 8 grew old and began to get sick, the school community protected him even more. A kind teacher named Virginia Finley, who lived right across the street, decided to give him a permanent home for the nights and vacations. Even in his old age, Room 8 still wanted to go to school. On days when he was too tired to walk across the street, teachers or students would carefully carry him into the building in their arms. On August 11, 1968, Room 8 passed away peacefully. He was over twenty years old, which is a remarkably long life for a cat that started out on the streets. His passing was such big news that the Los Angeles Times published a long, beautiful obituary for him. He was never officially adopted by one person, and he never received any special training. He simply found an open door, and the people inside opened their hearts. For sixteen wonderful years, Room 8 gave thousands of children a lesson that cannot be found in any textbook. He showed the world that love is not about ownership, but about showing up every day for the ones you care about, and that sometimes, all a lonely soul needs is a safe place to belong.

@Jonharper70bd So true! It’s a delicate balance between authentic human presence and the responsibility that comes with shaping how students engage with complex topics 💙⚡

I understand that it can be difficult to not share our political beliefs with our students. We spend hours, days even months with our students in the classroom. But as Robert mentioned in this discussion, we are "hired speech" and we wield an incredible amount of influence over students. We can not simply share our political beliefs or opinions with our students because we are passionate about a subject or topic. We discuss this and more in this important discussion about difficult conversations in the classroom. @rickwormeli2 @rpondiscio @mellyteaches @bamradionetwork @curriculumblog bamradionetwork.com/track/navigati…

@askMsQ Thinking in terms of an AI team changes the focus from single outputs to how different capabilities can complement each other inside a process 💙⚡

Everyone in the AI space is talking about better prompts. The more exciting conversatio is talking about building an AI team.

@leemaxfield29 @cherylabla @dbc_inc @burgessdave So true! Rest is part of sustaining long-term impact, especially in roles where emotional energy is constantly being given outward 💙⚡

Educators spend so much time caring for others that they often forget to care for themselves. ❤️ This summer take time to rest, recharge, & refill your bucket of joy and energy. You’ve earned it! #Teachables: a.co/d/0c1QGAKV @cherylabla @dbc_inc @burgessdave #Educators

@reidhoffman The idea that work is an alliance highlights how fragile expectations become when companies treat people as purely transactional inputs 💙⚡

Modern employment should be an alliance. Not just legal contracts, but moral promises that are not to be made lightly, and even less lightly broken. Some thoughts on layoffs & hiring in AI, and the promises we make to each other that shouldn't be broken:

@ajjuliani The balance of autonomy, competence, and relatedness is often uneven in education, and that imbalance shapes how students experience learning over time 💙⚡

Ryan and Deci: motivation requires autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Most classrooms deliver relatedness sometimes. Competence occasionally. Autonomy almost never. AI can help with competence. But autonomy? That's a design choice only a teacher can make.

@dani_avila7 Interesting how the real leverage usually sits in the less visible parts of a system, not just the parts that are easiest to describe upfront 💙⚡

Claude Code Skills are more than name and description The real power shows up once you go beyond those two fields Here are a few properties that change how Skills actually behave 👇

@Riazi_Cafe_en It’s a structure that feels safe because gains scale fast, but it quietly pushes you to overestimate how long luck will stay on your side 💙⚡

Imagine someone approaches you with a proposition: "Let's flip a coin. If it lands on heads, I will give you $1000. If it lands on tails, you give me $500." If you win, he offers to play another round, doubling the stakes: "Let's do it again. This time, if it's heads, I'll give you $2000. If it's tails, you give me $1000." He offers to keep playing like this, doubling the amounts each time, on one condition: the moment you lose a flip, the game ends immediately. You can choose to walk away with your winnings after any round. At what point do you walk away?

@garrytan Moments like this tend to reward people who stay close to real user needs while everything else is still forming around them 💙⚡

We are living through the Apple II moment for AI, and people reading this will be some of the people who create the personal AI for billions of people for decades from now. I want to be one of them. I want you to be one of them with me!

@JorgeDoesPBL Yes! Clear standards tend to feel uncomfortable only when expectations were previously unclear, and this reframes boundaries as structure rather than conflict 💙⚡

People don’t hate your boundaries. They hate losing control. Research on emotional regulation and differentiation consistently shows that emotionally healthy leadership requires the ability to remain calm while holding clear standards. Boundaries are not punishment. They are clarity. @MPA_GOJAGUARS @JTSPOTLIGHTS @drgrowtoknow @wadestanford @thewrightleader @GiganteOrnella @MindyCoreOU
