introducing friend. not imaginary. order now at friend.com

@cremieuxrecueil I agree

I went from hating United to really liking it. It is the most-improved airline with the best rewards program, and Delta has fallen off hard.

@DanielNMiller Beautiful

Amid the angst over the Paramount-WB deal, I'm reminded of this map of Hollywood by Lowell E. Jones. It's from 1947 — the peak of the studio system. A year later, a legal ruling forced studios to sell their theater chains. Zoom in: the studios were almost stacked atop each other.

@ExaltedFoks Canal st also still cooking

Of course the only unaltered friend sign I’ve ever seen is in Park Slope lol

@ExaltedFoks Cute

@kejca It’s true that scrolling short form content is one of the worst things humanity ever created. Maybe worse than bombs, because at least you go quick.

Apple CEO Tim Cook: "I don't want people looking at their smartphone more than they're looking in someone's eyes." "If they are just scrolling endlessly, this is not the way you want to spend your day. Go out and spend it in nature."

@m1guelpf @ruedart Where’s mine @ruedart

my amazing gf @ruedart designed and hand-painted this super sick hoodie for my birthday!!! will be wearing this everywhere 😁

@m1guelpf @ruedart Drip

@PromptLLM Love it

the magic you seek is in the words you speak

@reiro369 Wow

@its_me_shelia Beautiful

@AviSchiffmann didn’t expect this in Paris metro lol

@rSanti97 I thought this was you @edwinarbus 😂

Some professional news: I'm joining Anthropic's editorial team! I'll be leading the team's work on economics and policy, and working closely with the Anthropic Institute (about which more here: x.com/AnthropicAI/st…). Dramatic AI progress is coming in the next two years, and researchers+policymakers+the public alike will need the best information available about that shift. It's a big new challenge, and I can’t wait to get started. [Some important housekeeping: I’ll keep running Statecraft at @IFP as a Nonresident Senior Fellow! And will remain on the board at Recoding America/ as a journalist-in-residence at @johnshopkins School of Government and Policy. I start at Anthropic in a few weeks.] The move from frontier think tank to frontier lab is bittersweet. I’ve been at IFP for three years, and it’s been the most formative professional experience of my life. In a short period of time, IFP has become one of the most effective institutions in DC, generating a truly shocking amount of counterfactual policy impact (not all of it public). Being on this team has permanently raised my ambitions. I'm very grateful.

@jeffdafo @surajgajula I’ll probably do another much larger scale one

@AviSchiffmann @surajgajula Wish there was a recording of the debate, such a salient topic right now.

@TMZ RIP

🕊️ Chuck Norris has died at 86. tmz.me/N3EVxQe

@PoppyPancho I don’t really know what that even means. Follow the most confident option and you will reap the rewards you deserve. You cannot be unsatisfied if you follow your heart

@AviSchiffmann How much of this is survivorship bias though?

@m1guelpf God speed on the next 10 thousand

joined twitter the day i turned 14, to share my journey learning to code 10 years later I’ve met so many amazing people, gotten my dream job and made so many cool things here’s to 10 more

@mattparlmer @DanielleFong I don’t believe the f35 thing

This continued expenditure of scarce standoff munitions plus the F-35 incident gives me the strong impression that claims of air superiority are wildly overstated

@seinecle Interesting, send me any others you see

@blakeir @coryetzkorn 🤔💭

voice in, text out feels like the most natural interface right now

@tszzl @scottastevenson ChatGPT is unbearable to use solely because of how cringe it is. None of the other models are really like this anymore. I can’t stand it

@scottastevenson It’s not a 10 minute change

The default writing style of ChatGPT makes me nauseous. I’m sick of seeing it in X comments, blog posts, emails, memos and ChatGPT itself. It’s out of fashion, the flavor has grown stale. I use Claude just to escape it. Very simple fix for OpenAI: change the secret system prompt to abolish this tiresome tone. Or create a more automatic way for people to give it their own tone. This feels like an instance where a 10 minute change could make a product 2x better

@PixelPoncho_ @BestMovieMom No way there’s a wildwood movie?

@BestMovieMom My most anticipated:

The movie year we’re about to witness is INSANE
