So, last year, for a brief moment, I considered getting my Master's in creative writing. I wanted to go get it in the U.K., original home of the English language. When I looked into student visas, I learned that you cannot get one to study humanities at the graduate level. Only sciences and technology. I was devastated. Gave up on the Master's idea.

So, my university is wiping out all Humanities teaching.

Many talented people over the past few years were declined an offer or even an interview @xAI. My apologies. @BarisAkis and I are going through the company interview history and reaching back out to promising candidates.

@beffjezos xAI was not built right first time around, so is being rebuilt from the foundations up. Same thing happened with Tesla.

@forwarddeploy @xai I make prototypes from scratch! I created a time-series graph vector database (write an ArVix paper on it), then I built a real-time voice-voice avatar assistant on top of it! DM me!

Honestly think a lot of American men would gladly buy themselves a child bride if they could and a lot of insecure ⚪️ women would be thrilled to have all the competition under wraps and invisible. I'm not even kidding.

James Maxey@JamesAllenMaxey·
"Show, don't tell," is advice that knocked the breath out of American literature. It's good advice against a specific sort of literary sin where the author turns fiction into an essay, but it's been taken to the extreme that any hints of interiority or direct description of thoughts and emotions are suspect. But telling is the superpower of a novel! Too many authors, agents, and publishers seem to think novels are just unfilmed movies, and should follow the beats and convention of that medium. Novels are uniquely suited to convey the inner life, whether calm or turbulent. They are the medium where a character can watch the steam rising from a cup of tea and find himself undertaking a ten thousand word struggle against his own beliefs, and it's more gripping than a thousand car chases. To toss away this unique feature of novels is a kneecapping of the art form.

Using the phrase "youth organizing" in 2026 is fuckin hilarious. How the fuck else you gonna organize young people besides online? Church youth group? An ice cream social? A sock hop? Please, tell us some more ideas from 1952!

“Harris’ uninspired Headquarters gambit does not signal much about her future political ambitions, but it does underscore a Democratic Party that still conflates youth organizing with digital content creation.” My latest for @MSNOWNews. ms.now/opinion/kamala…

I used to kind of seethe when I was in school and girls would take of my glasses without asking to put them on and ask how they look and joke how blind I must be—because I was pretty blind without them and it’s disorienting But now I understand they were just hitting on me

Regina “Feral Bog Witch Cult Whisperer" Calabrese
@agraybee Because we’ve learned just how terrifying and dangerous most people are and would like the ability to ghost them and peace the fuck out the minute we don’t feel safe. And I’m not even a “youth” by any stretch of the word.

Sometimes I try to impart some of my hard-earned dating wisdom on here and then I'm reminded that the youths have dating norms that seem almost intentionally antithetical to socialization.

If your boss asked if he/she could shadow you on a specific area of work that you perform daily, how would you feel about that?

@signulll WTF is your problem? AI ads are SIMPLE. if you're asking about a product, they'll recommend you options and it's ads. ethical? that's another question entirely

at some point you’re gonna see a slow drip pr push from the non ad ai companies trying to warm people up to ads in chat. the conditioning cycle has already begun in some ways. the interesting part is that ads have never actually worked in a chat interface. like, name a single chat product that figured it out. facebook’s been holding the whatsapp/messenger bag for a decade & still can’t monetize them well. this is because chat is deeply intimate. borderline sacred. once a product is living in your linguistic cortex, the ux tolerance goes to zero. any hint of bias or intrusion feels like a parasite. contrast that w/ google, maybe the most elegant business model ever constructed where ads felt native, even helpful, because they were aligned w/ the search intent. ai chat is the opposite because it’s personal. it’s porous. it’s a weirdly confessional interface. stuffing ads into that space is a high wire act. the ads layer for ai is gonna be one of the hardest synthesis problems in the whole stack. you have to nail relevance without feeling manipulative, integrate commerce without violating trust, & somehow keep the model from steering you toward whoever pays. will be fascinating to watch this all play out. i have posted a lot about ads for ai before.
TBPN@tbpn

Marc Andreessen (@pmarca) on why internet ads aren’t going anywhere: “If you really want to get to a billion and then five billion people, you can’t do that with a paid offering… you need an indirect business model. Ads are the obvious one.” “If you take a principle stand against ads, you’re also taking a stand against broad access; global per-capita GDP just isn’t high enough.” “A well-targeted ad at a specifically relevant point in time is actually content; it enhances the experience.” From his appearance on the show in August.
