@ashleymayer @Techmeme 👏 👏

Oh hey, I know this guy! Happy almost 20th birthday, @Techmeme & team. Impressive longevity for any startup, let alone one in media that hasn't taken any outside funding. 🎂

@eladgil Absinthe has fast WiFi and plenty of tables. At least it’s where I spent my evenings working at the bird house.

Any favorite spots (restaurants, coffee shops etc) to work out of in the evenings in SF?

@SaraJChipps beep boop

Testing, testing.

@kevinweil 😎

So excited to welcome Jony Ive and the io team to OpenAI!

@andrewparker ask my hip friendz for their Spotify profile / playlists. (RIP rdio.)

Where do you find good new music recommendations?

I shared this note with the Washington Post team this morning: I’m writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages. We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets. We’ll cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others. There was a time when a newspaper, especially one that was a local monopoly, might have seen it as a service to bring to the reader’s doorstep every morning a broad-based opinion section that sought to cover all views. Today, the internet does that job. I am of America and for America, and proud to be so. Our country did not get here by being typical. And a big part of America’s success has been freedom in the economic realm and everywhere else. Freedom is ethical — it minimizes coercion — and practical — it drives creativity, invention, and prosperity. I offered David Shipley, whom I greatly admire, the opportunity to lead this new chapter. I suggested to him that if the answer wasn’t “hell yes,” then it had to be “no.” After careful consideration, David decided to step away. This is a significant shift, it won’t be easy, and it will require 100% commitment — I respect his decision. We’ll be searching for a new Opinion Editor to own this new direction. I’m confident that free markets and personal liberties are right for America. I also believe these viewpoints are underserved in the current market of ideas and news opinion. I’m excited for us together to fill that void. Jeff

Teenagers have started calling AI art “boomer art” and consider it cringe. I honestly couldn’t be happier.

Giving AIs "lifelike" voices shows a desperate lack of imagination. I want a studiously inhuman chip voice. I want a voice like wind. I want words made of birdsong, that trick my auditory cortex and read as human speech. Anything but quotidian human speech.

I AM FINE

Crazy story of the week: The tragic incident surrounding the Netflix adaptation of the "Three Body Problem" series is not widely known among its fans. Lin Qi, a visionary and brilliant young billionaire, acquired the rights to the "Three Body Problem" with the ambition of creating various products from it. He enlisted the expertise of Xu Yao, a distinguished lawyer, appointing him CEO to spearhead the business operations, including securing a deal with Netflix—a feat for which Lin compensated Xu with a salary of nearly $3 million. However, Xu's performance did not meet expectations beyond the Netflix agreement, leading Lin to reduce his salary to $750,000 and bring in additional executives to enhance business operations. Xu, retaining his CEO title, was reportedly infuriated by this demotion and further aggravated by not being credited as a producer on the Netflix project. Driven by revenge and inspired by the TV show "Breaking Bad," Xu meticulously planned Lin's murder. He purchased 160 phones and established a company in Japan to acquire the necessary chemicals for his scheme, testing them on animals. Xu then poisoned Lin and his colleagues, disguising the lethal substances as an advanced probiotic. Lin unsuspectingly consumed it and soon after was hospitalized, where it was immediately apparent he had been poisoned, though the specific toxins were unknown. The police quickly suspected Xu, who, had he disclosed the nature of the poisons (later found to have included exotic substances such as pufferfish poison and mercury and at least three other poisons), could have saved Lin's life. However, he chose not to, ensuring Lin's demise. Just a few days ago, as the show was premiering globally, Xu was finally sentenced to death for the murder of Lin and attempted murder of two other colleagues, who survived but with lifelong injuries. Lin Qi, credited as an executive producer on the Netflix project posthumously, passed away at the age of 39. RIP 🕯️

@lawrencecoburn 😕

I’ve lived in the mission for 20 years and it’s never been this bad. Tired of it.

Big debate in my household whether my 13 yr old daughter can walk solo to school, 5 blocks. On Friday, on this same walk, I had to physically intervene for a random woman getting harassed by a mentally ill guy. Today we were greeted by this guy foaming at the mouth.
