The actual-vs-theoretical-harm distinction has been lost on legislators and, increasingly, the courts. Worth remembering that “civil servant” describes someone who serves, not someone who sets the price of building. The overdue review isn’t of how the rules are applied — it’s of the board itself.

"Whoever designed the cookie banner should go to jail." A founder friend said that to us recently. It's the blunt version of what most people building in Europe actually think. GDPR was designed to be risk-based. Somewhere along the way it became a compliance tax on building. The definition of personal data has been stretched so far that almost any dataset qualifies and almost any use is regulated. The legal basis for training AI on European data is so unclear that founders are routing around it or leaving entirely. The fix is not radical. Make GDPR reflect what it was designed to be: proportionate to actual harm, not theoretical risk. The Digital Omnibus is a real opportunity. Europe has the talent, the research, and the ambition. The political will is the only thing missing. Together with @jschildt, @petersarlin, @villigm, @joelhellermark, and @SabinaWizander, I wrote about what reform should actually look like in Sifted.

@CryptoTice_ @grok fact check this

BREAKING: Sweden's second largest pension fund just bought Bitcoin. $13,800,000,000,000 in assets. 77,484 shares of $MSTR. For the first time ever. A government owned pension fund. Managing the retirement savings of millions of Swedish citizens. Quietly buying Bitcoin through the back door. - Swiss Central Bank. $10,000,000. - Vanguard. $680,000,000. - Czech Republic. Direct Bitcoin. - Luxembourg. Sovereign allocation. Now Sweden's pension fund. One by one. The most conservative. Most cautious. Most regulated money on earth. Is making the same decision. There are only 21,000,000 Bitcoin. Pension funds. Central banks. Sovereign wealth funds. All want a piece. The supply never changes. The demand never stops growing. The window is closing faster than anyone realizes.

@joshuasdad22 @grok is this true????

🚨 Absolute Madness in Britain A tiny, peaceful Suffolk village of just 1,600 people, Shrubland hall is about to be completely overrun by up to 100,000 Tablighi Jamaat extremists for a three-day invasion. Yes, you read that right — 100,000. This Islamic sect, banned in Saudi Arabia, Russia, and Kazakhstan as a radicalisation gateway, is being welcomed with open arms by the UK. What Tablighi Jamaat actually believes: - Women must be fully veiled and completely controlled by men - Homosexuality is a disgusting sin - Apostates (those who leave Islam) deserve death - Western democracy and secular life are evil distractions Two of the 7/7 London bombers came from the very mosque organising this circus. While British pubs, churches, and local events get strangled by regulations, this massive gathering gets the green light in a rural village that can't possibly cope with the traffic, policing nightmare, sanitation disaster, or public safety risk. This isn’t multiculturalism. This is cultural replacement happening in plain sight. How much more are the British people expected to tolerate before they say enough is enough? The elites won’t protect us — we have to speak up.

Read this book and give it to all your friends. Survival of civilization depends on it!

@designertom @grok explain to me like I am 10 years old what use and advantages this have. Then use explicit examples of real world implementations and actual, profitable business use

Notion wtf this is incredible

@noisyb0y1 @grok is this hype or actually groundbreaking?

A HUMAN INVENTED A TOOL THAT CAN BUILD A MILLION-DOLLAR COMPANY - AND IT'S FREE Vannevar Bush described this idea back in 1945 - a machine that expands the human brain to infinity, stores everything you know and connects every idea to every other one automatically. For 80 years nobody could build it. Now it's a free app on your laptop. One properly built Obsidian vault replaces an operations director, an analyst, a content strategist and a project manager simultaneously - running 24 hours a day with no days off, no salary and no Slack messages asking for clarification. The people who figured this out first are already running $15,000-$20,000/month businesses completely alone, no team, no office, no investors. The limits of this tool are the limits of your thinking. And judging by what the best users are doing with it - there are no limits.

@Figure_robot Very cool but excuse me, that room was one misplaced hair from impeccable before the F.03’s entered

We taught two F.03 robots to clean a room and make a bed in under 2 minutes - fully autonomous.

@FredrikHjelm4 @pitdotcom @a16z Wawawiwa!

Today we're launching @pitdotcom, with $16M funding led by @a16z. For ten years at Voi and other companies I watched something that drove me crazy. Smart people hired for their judgment, spending evenings reconciling data between systems that were never designed to talk to each other and chasing approvals over email at 11pm. Work that had nothing to do with why they joined. So we started building custom AI systems internally to take that work off their plates. Across Voi and Klarna the founding team had been doing this for years, because nothing on the market could actually do the job. The systems worked, but each one was a fragile one-off we couldn't hand to anyone else. Pit is what we wished existed back then. A platform that learns how your business actually works and builds the AI systems that run it for you, with enterprise security and governance from day one.

@tomcrawshaw01 BLUEPRINT

I made a free Claude Code Blueprint. Most Claude Code courses are tutorials. The Blueprint is interactive. You install Claude Code, open the folder I send you, type "Start Lesson 1," and Claude teaches you while you use Claude Code itself. 60 minutes from start to finish. You end with a real tool deployed on the internet, all for free. Watching tutorials doesn't teach you Claude Code. Using it does. Whenever I talk to non-technical folks about using Claude Code, the same problem keeps coming up. They install it, watch a few explainers, then quit when nothing they're seeing maps to what they actually want to build. The fix isn't another explainer. It's putting your hands on the tool from minute one. That's what the Blueprint is for. By the end of one short interactive session, you'll know: - How a single slash command can research any company in 60 seconds, instead of 30 minutes by hand - The trick to getting three Claude agents working in parallel inside one session - The CLAUDE .md pattern that makes Claude predictable, not chaotic - How to put your first Claude Code build on the internet, no terminal needed The tool you build is yours. A public URL on the open internet, the kind you can text to a friend. Comment "BLUEPRINT" below and I'll DM it to you (must be following)

@Jacobsklug DESIGN

Claude Design is the biggest shift in product design since Figma. Most outputs look like shit. Generic containers, no brand consistency, nothing you'd actually ship. I spent the past week testing it inside a real agency workflow and figured out the exact prompts that change that. What's inside: • The design system prompt that locks Claude to your brand • The 3 part workflow: system, product UI, branded deck • How to layer features like dark mode, search, and filters mid build • The exact slideshow prompt for case study decks • Common pitfalls and the fastest fixes • A full prompt library you can paste into any project tomorrow Comment DESIGN and follow. I'll DM it to you. P.S. Going out to everyone who comments within the hour.

Hello Julia, sans aucune ironie, c'est top que tu prennes le temps de te renseigner. Mais le problème quand on lit Marx aujourd'hui, c'est qu'on prend pour acquis sa prémisse de départ, alors qu'elle a été démontée scientifiquement il y a plus de 150 ans. Toute la pensée de Marx repose sur la théorie de la valeur-travail. L'idée que la valeur d'un bien vient de la quantité de travail nécessaire pour le produire. Si tu acceptes cette prémisse, alors oui, tout son raisonnement tient. Le capitaliste "vole" la plus-value du travailleur, l'exploitation est mathématique, la révolution est inévitable. Sauf qu'en 1871, trois économistes (Menger en Autriche, Jevons en Angleterre, Walras en Suisse) découvrent indépendamment la même chose : la valeur n'est pas objective, elle est subjective et marginale. Un verre d'eau dans le désert vaut une fortune. Le même verre à côté d'une rivière ne vaut rien. Le travail incorporé est identique. Donc le travail ne détermine pas la valeur. C'est le consommateur qui valorise un bien selon son utilité marginale dans un contexte donné. Exemple concret : tu peux passer 1000 heures à tricoter un pull moche que personne ne veut. Selon Marx, ce pull a énormément de valeur (beaucoup de travail incorporé). Selon la réalité, il ne vaut rien. Parce que personne n'en veut. À l'inverse, Bernard Arnault crée des milliards de valeur non pas parce qu'il "exploite" mais parce qu'il a su anticiper et organiser des désirs humains à grande échelle. La valeur est créée par la coordination, pas extraite par le vol. Cette découverte (la révolution marginaliste) a invalidé tout l'édifice marxiste. Pas pour des raisons idéologiques, pour des raisons scientifiques. C'est pour ça que plus aucun département d'économie sérieux au monde n'enseigne Marx comme un cadre d'analyse valide. On l'enseigne en histoire de la pensée. Maintenant, le truc important. Si ton intention en lisant Marx c'est d'aider les pauvres (c'est une intention noble), alors tu vas être surprise par ce qui suit. Regarde les chiffres de la Banque mondiale. En 1820, 90% de l'humanité vivait dans l'extrême pauvreté. Aujourd'hui, moins de 9%. Cette chute historique ne s'est PAS produite dans les pays qui ont appliqué Marx. Elle s'est produite dans les pays qui ont libéralisé leur économie. Chine post-1978, Vietnam post-1986, Inde post-1991, Pologne post-1989. À chaque fois qu'un pays libéralise, des centaines de millions de gens sortent de la pauvreté en une génération. À chaque fois qu'un pays applique Marx (URSS, Cambodge, Corée du Nord, Venezuela), c'est la famine et les goulags. Ce n'est pas une opinion, c'est l'expérience la plus massive jamais menée en sciences sociales. Plusieurs milliards de cobayes humains, sur un siècle. Donc paradoxalement, si tu aimes vraiment les pauvres, la position la plus cohérente n'est pas d'être marxiste. C'est d'être pour la liberté économique. Parce que c'est empiriquement la seule chose qui a jamais sorti massivement les gens de la misère. Pour creuser, je te recommande trois lectures qui vont changer ta vision : "La Loi" de Frédéric Bastiat (court, lumineux, gratuit en ligne) "La Route de la Servitude" de Hayek "Économie en une leçon" de Henry Hazlitt Bonne lecture, et vraiment chapeau de chercher à comprendre plutôt que de rester dans tes certitudes. C'est rare.

It’s time to go beyond language models. Introducing Odyssey-2 Max, our most powerful world model yet. It materially advances the SOTA in physical accuracy. This is a big step toward models that simulate and interact with the world in real time. A new intelligence entirely!

Ricky Gervais on 60 Minutes Makes a Crystal-Clear Case for Free Speech He put it perfectly: the great thing about freedom of speech is that I can say what I want, and you can say you're offended, and I get to decide whether I care or not. Because let's be honest, there's nothing you can say that someone, somewhere won't find offensive. That's why blasphemy laws are so absurd, they're basically trying to protect an all-powerful deity from having its feelings hurt. At the end of the day, we should be free to criticise any idea. Just because you're offended doesn't automatically mean you're right. Spot on, Ricky. Free speech isn't about never upsetting anyone, it's about the right to speak anyway.

@polydao It'll still over-engineer it, make it brittle af too.

Claude Code will grill you with 40+ questions before writing a single line of code > it's called /grill-me - 3 sentences long. most impactful skill I use instead of jumping straight to code - it walks every branch of your design tree until there's zero ambiguity > every question reveals something you hadn't thought of other skills I use daily: > /write-a-prd - idea → proper product doc > /prd-to-issues - doc → GitHub issues automatically > /tdd - tests first, forces edge case thinking before code > /improve-codebase-architecture -> full structural review of your codebase all links and full breakdown in my article full video from Matt Pocock 👇
