on Amazon I have discovered a book called "Infinite Jeffs" which is apparently a copy of Infinite Jest where each word has been replaced with the word "Jeff"

i’m surprised that no one is connecting the @tbpn purchase to the recent shift in openai’s & @sama comms well, now i’m connecting it also, hard to underestimate getting your mojo back

Most people I know in AI think the median person is screwed, and they have no idea what to do about it. I spent the last 3 months talking to dozens of researchers, economists, and policy experts about AI's impact on work; including reps from every frontier lab and several Congressional offices. Unfortunately, I was not reassured. The AI industry is raising the alarm, but can't change course. These companies' core business model relies on the disruption they are warning about: their faith in full automation only makes them go faster. Policymakers are waking up, but still paralyzed by data and debates. Econ wonks disagree on plenty, but even the limited scenario looks like a "painful transition" that will disempower millions of workers. But an "underclass" is not inevitable, but rather a societal choice — and one we can and should stop. Instead of waiting for impact, we should start planning now to support workers through AI disruption. Whether policymakers can assuage concerns about economic security may determine if we get to reap AI's gains at all. New from me for @NYTOpinion. I put a ton into researching what I think may be the biggest topic of the year, so hope you read it (gift link here!) nytimes.com/2026/04/30/opi…

Between Anthropic hiring a video director for $250k, and WSJ announcing that their video team is now 65 people, I think it's a really good time for young people to learn how to shoot and edit video. Tech companies and legacy media companies are investing in GOOD video teams

everyone is a developer now my feeling is the job of ‘creator’ which previously meant youtuber or the like will expand greatly careers will be hugely different in the next ten years

another dip in the archive: business cards but make them dance @GIPHY always with the best swag 🖕 🙏 @darkigloo **DM us your best NY tech startup swag for an invite to our show and tell next week** @Borthwick #30yearsofsiliconalley #internet

Everyone has a health story. The late-night searches. The trial and error. The fear you might never get better. The hardest part isn’t the symptoms. It’s feeling like you’re in it alone. Introducing Qi Health👇

@gavinpurcell haha I do the same thing

There is no shame like claiming you're 5'11" & 1/2 for 30+ years and having your teenage daughters roast you about the extra 1/2 inch and then insisting on getting measured in front of one of them at the doctors to find out you are actually 5'11".

@radbrowndads let us know if we should send a rescue crew - or at least a fruit basket

been stuck at a hotel in a blizzard with two flats, a baby, and no fresh food. been eating crackers and leftover pizza but these kirkland siggies are looking like a reasonable way to get my fruits and veggies now

@ischafer @TaylorLorenz we should go back in time and kill the internet.

@TaylorLorenz It’s like going back and killing baby hitler

@VickiStClair @duolingo Thanks so much - looking into this!

@moth @duolingo Android. And my phone is a relatively slimline model. Thank you, Tim!

check out what's changed since 2020 in our language report: blog.duolingo.com/2022-duolingo-…

@VickiStClair @duolingo Thanks so much. Are you on android or iOS?

@moth @duolingo 2/2 - Tim, just found the barbell on mobile. However, same as PC note above ... practice lesson, no story options.

@dens I had a good friend as a young kid on Long Island really into this. I don’t know if this still exists but i remember visiting whole stores filled with these cars, and places you could go with elaborate indoor tracks to race them.

Just fell down the “slot car racing” rabbit hole HARD. How did I not know this world existed? (model train landscapes meets car racing). 5yo is gonna get 1:43 Carrera Go from 🎅🏻 (ssh!) Any advice/tips appreciated!

@VickiStClair @duolingo Hi Vicki - congrats on your streak! Stories are still there. You should be able to find them all in your Practice tab (the barbell) – please let us know if you can't!

@duolingo 1000+ day Spanish learner here ... like the new lesson guides, but PLEASE BRING BACK STORIES. Makes learning conversations more fun and gives users options. Gracias!

@EvanEdinger @LuisvonAhn I'm probably WAY behind you Evan!

@moth @LuisvonAhn Pick it up sir

@alt_horizon @dtmax depends on how much he was planning to spend on the recovery...

@moth @dtmax Well... Technically he's gaining money then... As his loss is getting smaller 🤔😅

@AgentM @BouncingSoulsNJ I miss those guys, those kids and those days

And now I'm listening to Maniacal Laughter and remembering a @BouncingSoulsNJ show we had at Deja One on Long Island in '98 or '99. Jam-packed with kids and I can still picture the walls, they were dripping wet from the heat and humidity in the place. Great damn show.

I introduced Catherine to @BouncingSoulsNJ this morning on the ride to school with a jam I knew she'd love. youtube.com/watch?v=YowSB2…

@August__May @mollycrabapple “probably mostly”

@moth @mollycrabapple Thats probably mostly some pseudo-spiritual fantasy nonsense, the loss will be fewer people getting personal enjoyment from doing art as hobby because of never getting into it because AI art exists.

@ChamathWarriors @pmarca *crickets*

@pmarca Yep, writers are obsolete, they just don't know it yet.

Overheard in Silicon Valley: "This is the Golden Age of AI. People will tell stories about these prompts/answers like Jobs talking about the blue box."
