This is America. Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸

🚨#BREAKING: A German soccer fan who flew to the USA but was fearful about coming because of news about criminals and people being mean... ...breaks down into TEARS, live on air saying he has FALLEN IN LOVE with America after a random man named "Bob" in Boston gave him a ride home after he was stuck at a game with no way back to his hotel The German soccer fan's name is Sebastian, he said after meeting Bob, he extended his entire trip. He said leaving America will hurt worse than watching Germany get knocked out of the World Cup. "I fall in love with America. I'm sorry, it's just so emotional. Americans are not rude... if we are together, we can achieve great things." THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Was rolling out of Home Depot in my area, looked over, and saw these DC fast chargers. Not sure what’s going on there yet, but the product tour guide from my friend Grok was giving strong Soviet Charging energy vibes.

@JPoehnelt We’re hiring. I thought your agent-native CLI design and onboarding was fantastic. At @vercel we actively reward shipping useful open source tools for agents.

Two months ago I was fired by Google for creating the Google Workspace CLI. It went viral, hit #1 on Hacker News, gained thousands of GitHub stars and many thousands of actual users in just a couple days. It was an incredible, confusing journey, from directors and leaders asking what they could learn from the tool to getting grilled by legal about why the Google logo and brand colors are on the Google Workspace GitHub code repositories. I think the cause was that Workspace and certain leaders (and projects) were afraid of being disrupted. But the fear wasn't specific to my CLI, it was a broader fear in what agents meant for Workspace. Either way, the irony of my termination was the announcement at Google Cloud Next two days before I was fired that an official Workspace CLI was coming. I want this out there because it is easier for me to explain my story and it is an experience I want to fully own. It's also part of my healing. Nearly 7 years at Google was an incredible opportunity for me and I was fortunate to have wonderful teammates and a manager that fully supported me through these last few months. Thank you.

We’re witnessing an exciting moment in automotive history. @DavidMoss is about to reach 10,000 consecutive miles of uninterrupted @Tesla FSD engagement. His car has driven itself nearly halfway around the world without a human touching the controls. youtube.com/live/DP7miwTAV…

@japan_nobunaga Yes, I do. After being mildly skeptical of gun ownership, I became a gun owner after watching my wife get attacked right in front of me while walking around a neighborhood in Seattle. It was a mild attack, but it could’ve been much worse.

Be honest with me, Americans 🇺🇸 Do you actually own a gun? In Japan, I have never seen a real one. Not once. Not at a friend's house. Not in a drawer. Never. But online, every American just goes "oh, mine's in the nightstand" like it's a phone charger 🔌 So now I'm genuinely curious: What's YOUR gun? The very first one you ever got? Is this normal everywhere in the US? Or just some states?

Since May 16th, all for a fishing lure. And people wanted to believe the @USPS could handle ballots in an efficient and non corrupt way.

Dear @USPS, you've been sending my package up and down and all around the East Coast for months. I've called your customer service and consumer affairs departments a half dozen times. Nobody seems to be able to get this sent to my home in Colorado. Can you help me, please? 🙏

@Chrisgpt It's ego, and understandable to a degree. People aren't prepared to surrender the notion that ingenuity and invention aren't exclusive to the human mind.

I’m so sick of Luddites talking about LLMs like they have any serious understanding of what is happening. Riddle me this, what search engine constructs a new infinite family in discrete geometry and refutes Erdős’s unit distance conjecture. How do these people still exist

I’m getting tired of “experts” like this misunderstanding what they’re looking at. LLMs are giant databases of stuff HUMAN BEINGS have done. They are the EXHAUST of humanity. Prompts are database queries into EXISTING DATA. It’s a fuzzy search engine, not intelligence.

@X @elonmusk This happens far too often. It's a huge blow to everyone involved when @X arbitrarily separates an account from the community its owner has joined and fostered.

This was my favorite moment from Elon, Franz, and Lars yesterday. Elon: "I’ll tell you something, maybe at a fundamental level why the Model S/X succeeded, which is that, those cars were designed with love." Lars: "Absolutely." Elon: "That would be my advice for people out there who are making products or providing services, is do something that you truly love. Your customers will feel that love." Anyone who owns a Tesla knows exactly what he means.
Lars@larsmoravy

Each one built with love. When @elonmusk said that, really choked me up. Everyday we make our products with our customers in mind. We love all of you more than you know. Thanks for CONSTANTLY lifting us up. ALL THE LOVE!!!!

Am at Colorado Springs! The supercharger location pretty much surprised me once I got there. It was kinda flooded (not exaggerating lol) so I was curious which stall FSD was gonna take but luckily it was unfazed and parked like clockwork. The pic doesn't do much justice. @SawyerMerritt

Waymo has paused service in two cities because its robotaxis are driving into floods. They are recalling nearly 4,000 self driving vehicles over concerns they may not properly stop for flooded roadways. LiDAR clearly isn’t working.

@EspressoJose @KatieMiller Does not. Cameras are superior for this problem. Light rain, it’s irrelevant. Heavy rain blinds the sensors. Not only does adding lasers not fix that, but it also creates many new problems that are proving intractable.
