@Raganomix @TheProjectUnity yes but why? Makes no sense.
Someone does this to me, I erase their house the same day.

Gelje Sherpa is a superhuman.
I truly believe that humans are hardwired for the one “thing” in which they will excel in life.
Training can only push you to be superhuman, you can’t become superhuman.

On May 18th, 2023, while leading a Chinese climber toward the summit of Mount Everest, Gelje Sherpa discovered a stranded Malaysian climber on the verge of death. To save the climber’s life, Gelje persuaded his Chinese client to end his summit and descend to the Everest Base Camp, allowing him to focus on saving the stranded Malaysian climber’s life. He wrapped him in a sleeping mattress, gave him oxygen, put him on his back, and hiked him 6 hours down the mountain to safety.

@Raganomix @TheProjectUnity That's what I thought last week. No sense flying 8 hrs just to return to departure point.
He flew to a safe spot.
What I don't get: why no replica newsroom + decision room built to fake it?
English
@TheProjectUnity This looked totally AI. I think it’s being purposefully put out so that we think he’s dead, but he’s really in hiding.

early observations re seedance v2
now that i’ve finally been able to spend some real time with this model, a few things are very clear:
- prompting is EVERYTHING. if you know what you want, you need to articulate it with precision. this model rewards clarity more than anything else
-the model does a pretty good job following editing requests, but let’s not overstate it... it’s still a stretch to say it can edit everything, and i’m definitely still editing the good old fashioned way
-image quality matters a lot more than people think. it has way more impact here than if you were generating video straight from text
-this is one of those models where small prompt decisions make a big difference. the more deliberate you are, the better the output tends to be
-guardrails seem noticeably more relaxed on the official ByteDance platform, and so far i haven’t run into issues with humans, models, etc
still experimenting might do a part 2

live translation is something out of sci-fi isn't it a big deal? people seem to not care about it at all
Apple Hub@theapplehub
AirPods Max vs AirPods Max 2
English
it's not truly seamless between two people yet.
like, you have to basically hand them your iphone or have them do the same thing in order to initiate it
someday maybe it'll be seamless in public when two people have live translation enabled devices and get near each other, and it'll somehow connect the two

Because the Average Chinese person owns their own home, and university and medical bills are tiny, Chinese people save 40% of their income, and can still afford to go out every night of the week.
Can you? Why is that?

@danyay @MediaKing True. The most inspired ones left to follow solo careers.
Which means tech is still a thing when done right.
English
@MediaKing Amazing that every single one of those tech sites decided to exclusively hire journos who hated tech.
English
Honestly, all the old tech websites are dead.
Wired, ZDNet, TechCrunch, Engadget, The Verge, etc.
Nobody talks about any of them anymore.
Rohit Mittal@rohitdotmittal
Literally no one mentions TechCrunch anymore. It’s such a fall from grace. They were the top place founders wanted their startups covered, now no one shares their coverage on it. 20 year old brands can die quickly if they don’t move with the times. They would’ve been on a tear if they had not turned against tech (as a tech publication.)

Shawn got busted by @Yuchenj_UW for writing slop.
Free advice from my past career:
- Build your talking points
- Be singular
- Be human (this one will be the most important)
You can't build a successful personal brand by being vanilla and blending in with 5000 Johns' warm takes.
Shawn Chauhan@shawnchauhan1
Yuchen's departure from Hyperbolic isn't just a personal reset. It's a symptom of the brutal talent wars reshaping AI startups. Founders pour everything into these ventures, but the pull back to Big Tech is relentless. Look at Mira Murati's Thinking Machines: launched with $12 billion ambitions, yet lost co-founders Barret Zoph and Luke Metz to OpenAI within months, drawn by seven-figure packages and equity that startups can't match. Hyperbolic's story echoes this. Tens of thousands of sign-ups, ARR takeoff, but DDoS attacks and market pressures expose vulnerabilities. Executive churn in AI firms spiked 40% in 2025 per Gartner, as 55% of employers regret AI-driven layoffs and scramble to rehire. Startups like xAI saw co-founders Tony Wu and Jimmy Ba exit amid reorgs, while Thinking Machines replaced its CTO after unethical conduct allegations. These departures aren't failures; they're market signals that AI's real value lies in scalable talent ecosystems, not isolated products. Small teams innovate fast, but sustaining against Meta's $26 billion AI spend requires alliances or acquisitions. Yuchen's Singularity nod hints at bigger plays, perhaps rejoining a giant to climb that mountain. In AI's gold rush, founders aren't quitting; they're cashing in on experience premiums, forcing investors to bet on retention over raw innovation.

Left the last hotel early because I found this place for $120/night. Word of mouth, it’s not on the booking sites.
Maybe because it’s not licensed yet? Looks like a bar-to-unit conversion
Anyway, happy to have hot showers and internet >1Mbps down
Dan Nunn@danyay
Staying in the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at in a Philippine island, Siquijor. No hot water, no bum gun, obviously no hair dryer or fridge. Giving them 5 stars to throw off other white travelers.

Kalshi is a fraud and rigged with insiders.

@danyay @EcomwithRutty What I love most about all those people is that they claim to know the secret sauce to a 10-figure business, yet none of them replicate it to quietly disappear with golden spoons and private jets.

Yes — and neuroscience actually supports this.
When bilingual people switch languages, the brain activates slightly different neural networks tied to memory, culture, and social context.
That shift can subtly change tone, gestures, and even personality expression.
Same brain. Different cognitive mode.

@EmeraldRobinson @shellenberger The weirdest part was the UFO video 2 minutes before the end. It looked like an attempt to cover up the 3-hour disaster.
Rogan looked at him like, WTF.

Did everyone figure out yesterday that @shellenberger is not a journalist but an op?
That clown really thought he could make the Epstein files disappear on Rogan.
Another one bites the dust.

@rickygervais @chippychop_ My mom said the same thing. A dog doesn't choose his life, so you must give him the best life possible.

@chippychop_ I travel too much as I’m always on tour and I believe if you own a dog you should give it the best life possible and play with it everyday for 15 years.
