“AI can’t ____” statements are strange. They always forget to add “yet” or “today” while arguing against it. That would require critical thinking. Imagine seeing the first airplane and saying “but it can’t cross the Atlantic.”

Forza Horizon 6 is almost here, and I’m proud to play a role in shaping its business strategy. This franchise has always set the bar for what open-world racing can be—FH6 proves that. See you at the starting line! 🏁

Couldn’t help but repost when I came across this on LinkedIn. Every day I see new evidence that these tools are already being leveraged. linkedin.com/posts/bstirrup…

After living in Washington for eight years, I forgot what an actual diverse city looks like. Maybe I’ve been too critical of Atlanta.

Imo, this is the most important part of Asha's new memo. news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/04/…

@Julian_DDP Last week man! Still getting things sorted

@brandonstirrup Long time man. When did you move

Just realized Micro Center is only 18 minutes from my house in Atlanta… super dangerous for my wallet…

Alright, time to cancel Gemini? At this point, I’m actually considering Claude’s $100/plan.

@woelfel Yes sir. Moving back to our home state to be closer to family since we have a little one now.

@brandonstirrup Oh? Coming to the East Coast...we welcome you. :D

After two month of planning and packing, today my family relocates from Washington to Georgia.

New lobby car 😍

“Microslop” memes aside, I’m increasingly bullish on Microsoft’s AI strategy. As models become commoditized and optimized to run locally on modern devices, would you rather be a lone frontier lab or the platform partnering with all labs to provide optionality?

Waiting for @claudeai Opus 4.6 with high reasoning to complete a plan I spent 3 hours building

Seeing AI as a binary 'good or bad', even for creative applications, is a failure of nuance. ‘Smart’ people can give you a million reasons to reject AI, but true intelligence requires perceiving shades of gray that others mistake for black & white. It’s not a zero-sum game.

I've achieved expert-level certification in agentic AI business solutions. I'm proud of this milestone, as it represents years of exploration, experimentation, and a growth mindset focused on real-world applications. @MicrosoftAI @Microsoft learn.microsoft.com/api/credential…

@majornelson @claudeai Get a GitHub Copilot free account + Visual Studio Code. You’ll thank me later. 🫡

Was trying to use @claudeai to code up a simple project for my server. Starting to think that free tiers are being throttled...hard.
