For the first time in my lifetime, a lot of successful Jewish friends called me worried this week - names we all know - asking what is going to happen as these libels re-enter the mainstream, and are shared by millions. Sadly, Tucker, Rogan, Candace Owens, and others platformed slanderous conspiracies and blood libel to tens of millions of followers - maybe they all know it, maybe one or two of them are just naive and don't get it. Personally, I'm not a victim, I'm a fighter, but we know our family history, and we didn't just die in the Holocaust. Jews as a successful "outsider" minority have been hunted and murdered for centuries based on libelous anti-Semitic tropes that implied that we wanted to hurt Christians or were scheming against them. My great-grandparents and great-great-grandparents and their siblings around eastern Europe each grew up facing commonplace rape and slaughter fueled by similar lies, long before our grandparents' generation was systematically exterminated. Lucky for me, the Jewish branch of my family escaped to the USA by 1920. If you don't believe we're dealing with extreme anti-Semites and insane conspiracy theorists, just look at this quote tweet from an account with more followers than me and the replies - or the replies my post is sure to garner. Or thousands of other accounts this week, innocently asking why Jews don't care about Christian deaths around the world (we do, and Israel has worked to protect Christians, as should the USA). Many accounts are obsessed with Jews being tied to communists. I'm about as strong a fighter against Communism as you can find, not least with my work with the Reagan Library, but it's true, in response to being beat the crap out of by various regimes including the Tsar in Russia (it was once said of him he had no religion, but if he did, it was anti-Semitism) - many Jews ~120 years ago became communists. I don't excuse it - Communism is not just misguided, but applying it is evil and wrong. But it's not some wacky conspiracy, the history makes it obvious what happened and how this reaction occurred. Today, the majority of Jews have learned why that philosophy was evil, as have others: and millions of us fight for liberty and our constitution in the USA as fellow citizens. As did many Jews at the founding of the USA. It's a red herring to say you can't criticize Israel. I criticize them all the time, as do most Jews, in fact; we have a lot of opinions, and it's a horrible, complex situation that Israel as a whole generally faces with dignity and strength. But age-old blood libels of Jews wanting to hurt Christians are false, totally inappropriate, and also weird in the context of the fact that it's Islamists slaughtering hundreds of Christians and forcing them out of many areas as we speak. Jews and Christians are natural allies, and our civilization prospers when we stand up for each other and our shared values. Our enemies hope to drive us apart, but our shared understanding of the radical equal dignity of all human life and associated values led to the enlightenment and to our prosperity in the west. Our alliance is too strong for any of this nonsense to destroy.

What is currently the best solution for turning a large collections of personal notes and chats into an LLM-interrogable dataset? It seems like most off-the-shelf options can't keep context at scale.

working at a big company is basically an accelerated course in how power actually works. once you see the sheer level of inefficiency, rent-seeking, & arbitrary decision-making, it kind of breaks all illusions about big companies. the best part is realizing that half the people in charge have no clue what they’re doing but just sound confident. once you internalize that, you stop overestimating the competition & start realizing that most barriers to entry are just psychological.

@_orcaman @AravSrinivas Agree w this. Sharepoint and ERP needs to be next

What enterprises really need is to allow a deep research style agent to browse websites that require a live log in with SSO, not scanning an offline data integration of knowledge bases like Drive or Slack. 90% of the critical data we need is on internal systems or data provider websites with SSO and no data integration. You need an operator style agent to actually browse into these to pick up the relevant data points, otherwise you cannot achieve human level analysis.

Imagine Deep Research on your company’s internal data (Google Drive, Slack, OneDrive). Arriving to all Enterprise users in less than a month.

@shauseth They have you standardize your data, they overlay their AI, their AI transforms your process, you now need 1/10 the manpower to perform tasks, then somewhere in the world a terrorist dies

@fredlambert @quietbyday Fred- you know this is disingenuous. The vote passed both times. The judge had enormous conflicts of interest. How you spend so much of your time hating one man, I will never understand. I guess it’s because you’re paid for it.

@quietbyday Click some buttons to give him $55 billion that he improperly awarded himself according to some shareholders and a judge. OK

Elon Musk to Nicolai Tangen, the CEO of the Norwegian wealth fund (Tesla shareholders): "When I ask you for a favor, which I very rarely do, and you decline, then you should not ask me for one until you've done something above nothing to make amends." Tangen's requested favor: asking Musk to attend a conference and dinner at his house. Musk's requested favor: vote your shares to give him $55 billion.

DeepSeek is legitimately impressive, but the level of hysteria is an indictment of so many. The $5M number is bogus. It is pushed by a Chinese hedge fund to slow investment in American AI startups, service their own shorts against American titans like Nvidia, and hide sanction evasion. America is a fertile bed for psyops like this because our media apparatus hates our technology companies and wants to see President Trump fail. We have so many useful idiots uncritically reporting Chinese propaganda as fact because on some level, they want it to be true. They love seeing hundreds of billions of dollars wiped off the market cap off our largest companies.

It's hard to believe, but due to H100 restrictions, DeepSeek was forced to train R1 manually, with thousands of Chinese citizens holding flags to act as logic gates.
