@ianbremmer @thomaschattwill This can’t possibly be true… far too brazen and traceable

@OttoSuwen I dunno, maybe crytpo should build great products that people love versus begging for government to make their products good for retail
English
Both the Biden and Trump administrations turned out to be utterly worthless for retail crypto investors. Although there isn't really a solution since Americans are screwed no matter which party they choose to vote for.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna@RepLuna
At this rate, it’s not even about being a Democrat or Republican anymore. It’s literally the American people versus a uniparty establishment that is corrupt to the core. It’s time for voters to wake up when they go to vote on Election Day. Stop sending the same garbage to the Senate.

Six months ago we launched Jill. We hit 100% MoM growth with hundreds of companies hiring through her despite the rough edges.
When customers put up with your janky MVP, you know you're solving something real. So we spent five months rebuilding from scratch.
Introducing Jill 2.0.
Here's what's new:
Ridiculously well connected - Jack and Jill now know 110,000 of the best tech talent in London and SF. Not just their profiles. Jack has 500+ briefing calls a day with candidates. When Jill searches, she's working from actual signal.
Really gets you - Jill builds detailed briefs through conversation. She challenges your requirements, researches your existing team to understand what good looks like, then shows you calibration candidates to prove she's nailed it. You get clarity before sourcing, not after interviews stall.
World beating search - We've rebuilt our algorithms maybe 10 times. We test on the latest talent search benchmarks and outperform everyone on the market. Jill identifies best-fit candidates with a level of nuance other tools completely miss.
Super speedy - Used to take days for a shortlist. Now pulls candidates in seconds once Jill understands what you're after.
Always working, always learning - Close the tab, Jill keeps going. She calibrates in the background and proactively sends new candidates or search strategies while you sleep.
Way more convincing - Jack engages candidates on WhatsApp with real context. Jill articulates exactly why your company is exciting with a configurable pitch. Much faster conversion to warm intros.
Audited for bias and fairness by a third party - Because brilliant hiring means nothing if it entrenches the wrong patterns.
The people you need aren't scrolling job boards. They're already doing great work at top companies. Jill can introduce you to them.
Jill is now the smartest, best-connected, hardest-working external or agency recruiter you'll work with.

Talk to anyone over 63 who had private insurance through a spouse who was a contractor—aka a small business owner—and you’ll hear the exact same story every time: it was manageable, predictable… and then Obamacare hit, and premiums went through the roof.
The people who built their own livelihoods, who played by the rules, got crushed the hardest.“Affordable Care” didn’t make it more affordable—it flipped the script entirely.
One of the biggest bait-and-switches ever sold to the American people.
Everything the democrats do turns to 💩💩

@nrmehta @rowantrollope What science and healthcare improvements tho?
English
@rowantrollope I don't know yet but I know the current statements of "you might lose your job" or "everything will be fine don't ask questions" or "if you lose your job, it's no biggie" are own goals.
Part of it is we need more energy on the science/healthcare improvements v just automating.

Elevators used to be manually operated and were especially risky if the operator was tired or inebriated.
Now, you just get in, press a button and a modern elevator, if inspected regularly, is extremely safe.
James Stephenson@ICannot_Enough
Nobody is skeptical of autonomous elevators because nobody alive today was even around to see a human elevator operator in real life before the last one got laid off. Automation is far safer.
English
Any US resident in a leadership position that is planning a layoff and using AI as the excuse should really think twice. Enough of this and we'll end up speed running into a socialist uprising and losing our current edge in AI.
The employees impacted by such layoffs will turn anti-AI and join a growing chorus of socialist voices who are pushing for reducing data center investment, power generation, and heavily regulating AI to slow progress and disruption.
And they'll have a fresh set of angry voters to support this agenda.
We can have a progress without shooting ourselves in the foot and giving people time to adjust and evolve.

Product idea:
An app that takes today’s top headlines, run @karpathy’s iterative argument/counter argument loop, summarize both sides and send it to me so I can read both sides and come to my ow conclusion.
Andrej Karpathy@karpathy
- Drafted a blog post - Used an LLM to meticulously improve the argument over 4 hours. - Wow, feeling great, it’s so convincing! - Fun idea let’s ask it to argue the opposite. - LLM demolishes the entire argument and convinces me that the opposite is in fact true. - lol The LLMs may elicit an opinion when asked but are extremely competent in arguing almost any direction. This is actually super useful as a tool for forming your own opinions, just make sure to ask different directions and be careful with the sycophancy.

Science corner guy @friedberg is totally fine with this as long as taxes get cut
Mike Levin@MikeLevin
This is absolutely infuriating and completely idiotic. An estimated 95,000 scientists and researchers have left federal agencies since Trump returned to the White House. These are the people tracking hurricanes, studying pediatric cancer, and modeling the climate tipping points that determine whether we can still prevent catastrophe. We lost them because this administration defunded their work, shuttered their offices, and made clear that finding out the truth is no longer a government priority. NASA’s own administrator just said studying climate change isn’t part of NASA’s mission. The agency that first warned Congress about global warming in 1988 now treats that work as a distraction. Meanwhile, China and Europe are recruiting our scientists, funding their labs, and making long-term bets on the industries of the future while we gut the research infrastructure that took generations to build. We are surrendering global scientific leadership voluntarily, deliberately, and one resignation letter at a time. nytimes.com/2026/03/25/cli…

@Jason @friedberg @DavidSacks Good thing sacks admin cut funding for a lot of this research, deported and scared off the bets scientists and made the costs of this go up with tariffs

Not for long… @friedberg and @DavidSacks are gonna correct this with the most powerful PCAST squad ever assembled!

Yep. China is winning in biotech. They are now definitively ahead of the United States.

What's interesting about Bukele's rule is that it's all so obvious. You can just flip the switch and make your country powerful, be beloved by the people, get rich, etc. That this is not widely regarded as something worth striving for shows a deep sickness in Western politics.
Balaji@balajis
So far, Nayib Bukele is on track to be the Lee Kuan Yew of Latin America. The Simon Bolivar of the new century. He focused on building up his own country. He embraced hard money and cut off hard drugs. He did imprison criminals, but did so with the minimum necessary force. He persuaded first, and compelled only when absolutely necessary. Like Lee Kuan Yew, Bukele turned his country into a bonafide showcase for a global audience. Bukele built a domestic coalition in his native Spanish and an international coalition in fluent English. He balanced El Salvadoran nationalism with diplomacy and capitalism, recruiting Tether, xAI, Bitcoin, and tech to the country. Incredibly, he’s made El Salvador into a model not just for Latin Americans, but for North Americans. And he did it in less than ten years, with absolutely no precedent in the region.

It is the end of democracy if voter ID is not passed

It’s cannot be understated how unfathomably cooked we are if we can’t even get basic voter ID laws passed in this country.

@jonathankennell @zachweinberg Have you talked to the average American?
There is mass suffering

@zachweinberg Socialism: mass suffering
Capitalism: mass prosperity…. But some people do end up super duper rich

This is why moderate Dems feel homeless with the current Dem party leadership.
Elizabeth Warren, one of the faces of the Dem party, is actively just anti-business. Doesn't really want to help anyone, just angry that sometimes people make money building things for customers.
Alec Stapp@AlecStapp
This is why we must hold the line against slopulism in housing policy. At first Warren's position was "investors can build as many apartment buildings as they want, they just can't build single-family homes to rent" Now she is sending menacing letters to institutional investors who build multi-family apartments and manufactured housing.

NYT shaken by my advice to founders to never talk to their journalists.
The truth is, no one trusts the media, and it's their own fault.
Too many anonymous sources, too many hit pieces and far too much bias.
The NYT isn't taken seriously, except by the far left -- and they're even losing them of late!
For leaders wondering whether to go direct, understand that the average NYT story gets 100-400k views. A breakout might do a couple of million.
In other words, the average NYT story is irrelevant when compared to the number of followers and listeners a founder can reach directly.
NYTimes Communications@NYTimesPR
Jason, business leaders from your industry and others speak to The New York Times, as they have for years, because our reporters produce insightful, fair reporting that illuminates audiences everywhere. We're not publicists and we're not promoting anyone's pitch deck.

@Jason @NYTimesPR Hey man, the biggest companies in tech have done bad things recently.
It’s like complaining that big tobacco wasn’t getting good press in the 80s and 90s

@NYTimesPR Go read your last 100 tech stories and report back how many are negative vs positive.

@jason@Jason
Founders: take my advice... do not talk to the press, go direct and do long-form podcasts. Wired and the NYT are as biased as Fox News and MSNOW these days This is a function of their need to pander to one side to survive, be it through $ 3-a-month subs or rage-baiting ad-based stories. Attacking tech gets views (see Karen Swisher)... and views get advertisers (paradoxically, tech advertisers support the folks trashing tech! let that sink in!) Founders: If you talk to the NYT or WIRED, they will trash and misrepresent you 95% of the time in order to get more subscribers and page views It is what it is...
