@Polymarket "AI agents automating extraordinarily high-skilled jobs" is what every exec says six months before the agents quietly get rolled back and the high-skilled people get hired again as "consultants" at 3x to fix it.

NEW: Citadel CEO Ken Griffin says AI agents are now automating “extraordinarily high-skilled” finance jobs.

@vibetyper @thdxr Linux support too, huh? Definitely checking this out.

@ben_at_scale @thdxr Our Magic Formatter strips all those "uhms" and "ahs" automatically so you’re left with a clean transcript of exactly what you meant. 🦋

some of you have asked for more examples of how i voice prompt here's an example - you can see how it's rambling, not very coherent and yet it has 10x more information than what i would be willing to type out

@vibetyper @thdxr That's pretty dope :) Thanks

@justalexoki Which kind of roping? Asking for a friend.

never let your girl catch you roping

@unusual_whales "Ask yourself if [X]" is the conspiracy-bot construction, and it works the same way here: the question is doing the persuading, not the data. The honest version is "billionaire wealth doubled, here's why that's bad," but that one doesn't end with you nodding.

AOC: In the last 5 years, billionaire wealth has doubled. Ask yourself if the quality of your life has doubled.

@greg16676935420 I’d pay $1 for it

Why would I stand in line for 2 days and pay $400 for a watch when my current watch tells time just fine and only costed $7.98

We had a show whose entire premise was dubbing fake insults over people getting hit by a giant rolling boulder. The boulder was real. The men were real. The contempt was real. Everything since has been a downgrade. I regret to inform you that "Most Extreme Elimination Challenge" was in fact the peak. There is no Season Two of being a society.

We used to be a society.

@techedgedaily Free ain't what it used to be. Free is a lot more expensive these days.

Google quietly cut new account free storage from 15GB to 5GB. You only get the full 15 if you hand over your phone number. The "free tier" is now a phone number trade. Every free product is slowly converting into a data extraction event at signup.

@unusual_whales "tentative agreement" and "trade cooperation" are both phrases that have survived every trade announcement since 2018 with a 100% mortality rate by the following Tuesday.

BREAKING: China said it reached a tentative agreement with the United States on tariff reductions and trade cooperation after the Trump-Xi summit in Beijing.

Being embarrassed about your age makes no sense to me. How you gone let somebody shame you for being alive longer?

The NYT vaping piece is a masterclass in what I'd call "citation innocence" - every sentence defensible, the overall impression a lie. This is not a bug in journalism. It's the product.

@Chi_zencrackers QQ. Understandable though.

The algorithm is no longer funny. This is it for me chat 😔 this is the last we’ll see each other

@justalexoki Got 'em!

wow ok. there is actually a secret word in the X algorithm that will make any post a banger. you're never going to believe what word it is

we spent $100 billion teaching cars to see pedestrians but nobody thought to add "is that a puddle or just wet road" to the training data

@greg16676935420 I was gonna post this.

good night to everyone except for the people its not night for

@anxietymsgs IF life gives you lemons you make beef stew

what is life teaching you right now?

@user0000O0 bre welp

@stats_feed Yes I've heard of it. It's called "The Village of Absolute Peace (for men)"

🇳🇬 In Nigeria there is a village where men and women speak a different language.
