Great to have a new non-rage baiting algo. But man does it suck that all these networks are beholden to tuning that has so much emotional influence. Hi everyone.

@bgurley I completely disagree with this argument. If a batter gets in the box with no plan then he/she is agreeing to be on the pitcher's plan. Agency is good, collaboration is hard, but neither automatically means manic thrashing.

With policy people tend to think of the “idea” of action as important. But often the policy choice fails or even creates the opposite outcome of the concern. “Acting” without high confidence of success is just manic thrashing (& spending). And will likely make things worse.

@suekhim This pitch would be more compelling without the hyperbole.

American kids can’t read or do math anymore. 90% of parents think their kid is at grade level. Only 28% are. And now, kids are addicted to AI for cheating. That’s why we built Koji to coach you to think, instead of doing the thinking for you.

AI is making kids dumber. It should be making them geniuses. Introducing Koji, the first AI tutor that gets kids to actually think. 👇

@matthewk36711 If he can get is BB/SO to 0.65, he's got a chance

Peyton Bonds is as polarizing a prospect as they come, a massive swing for upside by San Francisco (round 3, pick 90). The raw tools are tantalizing, having smoked a ball at 120.7 mph this season with a 90th-percentile exit velocity of 107.4 mph. That level of raw power typically elicits swing-and-miss concerns, but not with Bonds, as he made contact on 91% of swings in-zone vs. fastballs and 86% against spin. Now for the concerns. Barry's nephew chased at 39% of pitches outside the strike zone, with a meager 67% in-zone swing rate. His zone-minus-chase rate is the lowest among all drafted college hitters in the first five rounds. With two strikes, his chase rate soared to 65%. Bonds has also struggled significantly to get his best contact in the air. Against right-handed pitching, his average launch angle was just 2.4°, albeit with more consistent lift and slugging vs. LHP. Just 21% of Bonds' fly balls were hard-hit (above 95 mph), with an average exit velocity of 83.6 mph. The swing is clearly very flat, and Bonds has to leave his typical plane to elevate balls in the air. It likely helps him maintain strong bat-to-ball skills, but doesn't allow him to reach the slugging metrics a hitter with his level of raw power should. SF will have to find the happy medium, while also working to significantly improve the swing decisions.

@mcuban Yes but value is still measured by litigation opportunity costs too…

Is Microsoft ditching patents ? Same issue. You may think your IP is protected. It's not. Every model is training on every patent app, and simultaneously being prompted to find workarounds or ways to compete with that patent I think the value of a patent has dropped and the value of a trade secret has increased

@DavidChoiMusic @ericschmidt @grok Just read the article bro.

@ericschmidt @grok summarize this article for me in plain English and explain the best, the worst, and what we should do about it as Americans.

@tferriss Your context is missing “suppose no children and other attachments and responsibilities”

There is a process that I have used, and still use, to reignite life... Create two timelines—6 months and 12 months—and list up to five things you dream of having (including, but not limited to, material wants: house, car, clothing, etc.), being (be a great cook, be fluent in Chinese, etc.), and doing (visiting Thailand, tracing your roots overseas, racing ostriches, etc.) in that order. If you have difficulty identifying what you want in some categories, as most will, consider what you hate or fear in each and write down the opposite. Do not limit yourself, and do not concern yourself with how these things will be accomplished. For now, it’s unimportant. This is an exercise in reversing repression. Be sure not to judge or fool yourself. If you really want a Ferrari, don’t put down solving world hunger out of guilt. For some, the dream will be fame, for others fortune or prestige. All people have their vices and insecurities. If something will improve your feeling of self-worth, put it down. Drawing a blank? In that case, consider these questions: 1) What would you do, day to day, if you had $100 million in the bank? 2) What would make you most excited to wake up in the morning to another day? Don’t rush—think about it for a few minutes. If still blocked, fill in the five “doing” spots with the following: — one place to visit — one thing to do before you die (a memory of a lifetime) — one thing to do daily — one thing to do weekly — one thing you’ve always wanted to learn What does “being” entail doing? Convert each “being” into a “doing” to make it actionable. Identify an action that would characterize this state of being or a task that would mean you had achieved it. People find it easier to brainstorm “being” first, but this column is just a temporary holding spot for “doing” actions. Here are a few examples: 1) Great cook —> make Christmas dinner without help 2) Fluent in Chinese —> have a five-minute conversation with a Chinese co-worker Determine three steps for each of the dreams in just the 6-month timeline and take the first step now. Define three steps for each dream that will get you closer to its actualization. Set actions—simple, well-defined actions—for now, tomorrow (complete before 11 A.M.) and the day after (again completed before 11 A.M.). Once you have three steps for each of the four goals, complete the three actions in the “now” column. Do it now. Each should be simple enough to do in five minutes or less. If not, rachet it down. If it’s the middle of the night and you can’t call someone, do something else now, such as send an e-mail, and set the call for first thing tomorrow. If the next stage is some form of research, get in touch with someone who knows the answer instead of spending too much time in books or online, which can turn into paralysis by analysis. The best first step, the one I recommend, is finding someone who’s done it and ask for advice on how to do the same.

Dear @claudeai 💡 Fable Fridays

@juliarturc Just do Fable Fridays and make hashtags relevant again #fablefridays

I'll take it, but it's such an annoying attempt to milk it and stay relevant on X. Just include it in the subscription or not. What is up with this continuous "7 more days for the plebs", I feel treated like a toddler.

@ryancarson @DevinAI Tell me about Devin. I’ve been wanting to try SWE but I use and am comfortable using Claude and Codex macOS versions after migrating from CLI.

Been using SWE 1.7 a lot in @DevinAI and it’s getting hard to tell the difference between it and Opus 4.8 or gpt 5.5. It’s also free right now, so that’s nice. Definitely reaching for Fable or gpt 5.6 on harder stuff but a huge chunk of engineering can be done now for drastically lower prices. Pretty sure in 6-12 months the majority of engineering is going to be done in non-frontier lab harnesses (Cursor, Devin, Amp, Factory) with models they’ve trained or fine-tuned. Also with the downward token price pressure being applied by both Meta and xAI … all very good for all of us.

@brian_armstrong Why don’t you generalize more! Or sprinkle some hyperbole to make your point!

Sad state of affairs when most mainstream media journalists can’t be trusted to tell the truth at this point. As a founder, you have to hunt to find the good ones and spend more of your time going direct or with new media, bypassing them entirely. Many traditional media companies got disrupted by tech, and therefore came to hate tech. So they have a conflict of interest in all tech reporting, even if they don’t disclose it. Others are mainly political propaganda organizations at this point (Marxist etc) and try to label it journalism to prey on ignorant people. Actual journalism is important and even heroic at times (war zones etc), it just isn’t practiced very often by traditional media companies any more, which is a shame and why we need new media companies.

@markpinc ya, I don't thank God for X.

I love it when someone picks up that this ‘persona’ is just the real me. Unfiltered. Not trying to fit a brand or message. Its never worked well with the press. They want a clear narrative. Sometimes i sound tone deaf but lets be honest. we all do unedited. Thank God for X and long form pods!

@tedbarnett This is such a colossal generalization on your part Ted.

@AravSrinivas You are like an AI demonstrating irony.

Imagine a fable 5 quality model that’s 3-4x less expensive in less than 6 months. And an Opus 4.8 grade model that can run on a local device in less than 12 months. Greater than 50% chance that these events will happen. Worth keeping in mind when you make predictions about the future.

@WilderWorld How many DAU?

Next release: a full buff system for gear, weapons and attachments. With persistent degradation, where equipment visibly wears over time. Condition changes performance. Scars tell stories.

@girdley Back of the Y has been awful since day 1. I had an early 3 for a few years and then couldn’t deal with how uncomfortable it was and got a Subaru.

We test-drove a Model Y FSD. It was the same as the last time -- the ride was so rough my kid got carsick. We noticed they had the tires inflated to 47 psi. It was the Premium AWD. Is this normal? (FWIW, passengers preferred the new Telluride and Outback comfort by a mile.)

@BontaHill Honest question. Do you think you phrase posts like this because of the cultural impact of gambling and prediction markets? Entirely possible he gets hurt or has another slump etc.

Devers is going to mess around, hit 30-35 home runs, and drive in 90+ runs despite a historically bad April. Kind of insane.

@ryancarson You're looking for logic in all the wrong places. This is stage 2 product design consensus management -- the sub brand. Keep an eye out for "an OpenAI innovation" appended.

Why on earth did OpenAI just destroy the massive amount of trust and goodwill that they built up with devs by deleting the Codex brand? I could potentially make sense of it it because they're trying to skate where the puck is headed: "all information work is going to be done from one home base". They obviously need that home base to be ChatGPT and it's a *logical* thing to do. The Codex team should have stood up and fought hard against this and said that dev goodwill is something that they can't negotiate on. The dropdown "ChatGPT Codex" vs "ChatGPT Work" says it all. So if we're writing code, we're not working?

@jhong Why simp the disingenuous?

This is amazing
