Well well well. I am not shocked tbh. Sad that I’m not shocked. But shocked I am not.

@sama Extending the life of pets by a substantial amount.

what problem do you most hope AI will solve in the future? maybe we can help!

lots of corporate press / comms people asking me to share drafts of stories before publication (??) these days. baby that is not how it has ever worked

this is incredible

Swatch AP madness around the world. Beagles beagles beagles touching grass for the first time. The Crash on Netflix. Off Campus on Amazon. And more pop culture. youtu.be/fpEH0inBAao?si…

@HunterBiden Would much prefer keeping it that way tbh my man.

I'm Hunter Biden. You've never actually heard from me.

@corbett3000 @Delta I am too. And not what I’m saying. Talking about international travel and leaving/going to LA/NYC.

@brooke @Delta This is just not true. Diamond Delta here. I almost always get the Delta One upgrade between SF and NYC when booking normal seats for like 30,000 miles. $300 worth of miles results in $1,500-$2,000 all the time.

A travel expert just told me that my @delta mileage and status were worthless and the worst mileage program by 10x. He said 200,000 Chase points or United miles worth more than almost 2 million Delta miles. Said the Delta Amex is the worst mileage credit card. I’m apoplectic!

@FormerlyWTC @Delta 😂

@brooke @Delta They don’t call those miles SkyPesos for nothing…

@MilesTalk @Delta That’s exactly what the guy I spoke to says. The least valuable mile in the us market. I’m so sad.

A bit exaggerated but not far off. They have arguably the best product in the US. But Medallion upgrades have become unicorns and they openly admit they don’t want to give value for SkyMiles. They are by far the least valuable mile in the US market. And indeed all your spend should be on transferable points cards unless your Delta Amex spend is intentionally to earn MQDs and will level you up meaningfully while you earn essentially less than a cash back card setup.

@SteveGosset @Delta I agree and have seen some great value but when the guy broke it down for me it was tough to see. Especially because my main cities are ny and la which are not awesome.

@brooke @Delta That’s a gross exaggeration at best. It all depends on the route and when you want to fly. Lately, DL has been pricier. But not always. And I’ve been getting upgrades despite only being Silver Medallion. I also have the Delta Reserve card and get enough value to justify the fee.

@nick_farina @Delta I agree… I explained that the experience is better than anything else, but they do need to figure out the mileage because more people are gonna figure it out. Like I can’t get to France this summer without paying retail and I have over 2,000,000 miles. Unless I fly multiple legs

@brooke @Delta The flip side of this is that by many measures Delta is the best airline. To have the best of all worlds, I carry the CSR card bc their points are incredibly valuable and flexible but would still fly Delta if I lived in a hub city bc of their ops and fleet. In ORD, stuck on UA.

@markwooster @Delta I do too, but he’s saying that the value of the miles especially if you’re in LA or New York are virtually worthless compared to others. What would cost 200,000 miles on one airline will cost about 1 million on Delta. He said it’s great if you’re outside of the US.

@brooke @Delta I have the Delta AmEx card plus cards with some other airlines and that’s not true.

@NYMag You’re a media outlet. Can you not afford a copy editor?

Jurors found that Must waited too long to file his $134 billion suit against OpenAI co-founders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

@NoemiTitarenco Haha. Fair. But I am a person who understands this chips race and this was just dumb.

@brooke you are not the target audience lmao. have you met a man before?

Not for nothing but this is a terrible ad.

@awwstn @grok Grok all you want. On the ground here it feels very niche. We will see! It’s fascinating.

@brooke hmmm, i'm not following very closely but that was not the sense i had. @grok is that right that spencer pratt's campaign is only resonating with super rich elites in LA?

I am not sure the Spencer Pratt strategy will work in the long run. The elitist super richy rich group is def a thing in LA but super small comparatively. And seems big because they are all over socials but I just think of you take a step back, it isn’t the driving force of LA.

@pmarca I honestly think this tweet is some of your best work.

Announcing General Condescension’s newest Managing Director

@awwstn He is only connecting with the super elitist richy rich. We will see!

@brooke wait isn't that the reason his strategy *will* work? he is speaking to people who are sick of the elitist super richy rich group making reckless decisions

AI can design viruses, toxins and other bioweapons. How worried should we be? nature.com/articles/d4158…
