"AI is increasing the intensity of work rather than reducing it," per WSJ

@FmrRepMTG And just like that we’re supposed to go about our day hoping POTUS sent another hyperbolic message and Congress might do *something*

25TH AMENDMENT!!! Not a single bomb has dropped on America. We cannot kill an entire civilization. This is evil and madness.

New start-up colors dropped

you get to pick one song for your journey to space. what is it? 🚀

It’s because of this photo that I had Nutella tonight. Not even Don Draper could have pitched an ad this good.

Literally every working professional should watch the Artemis II lunar flyby as a communications training opportunity. Listen to how clearly, tactfully, and respectfully the crew communicates with mission control. Hard to imagine misinterpretations or misunderstandings.

Take at least five minutes and tune into this historic moment. As Victor Glover, Artemis II astronaut, said, "You are special in all this emptiness." When I see the images, what immediately comes to mind is amaze, amaze, amaze.

April fools doesn’t hit the same living in a misinformation epidemic

@ProofofIntern but hey, an honor to make the list, right?

@Polymarket we're in the age of contract work over FTE

JUST IN: Andrew Yang says the number of jobs eliminated by AI will be “many times higher” than the number of jobs it creates.

someone teach me how to properly do a candid pose

@Polymarket i.e. the (new) ballroom

BREAKING: U.S. Military reportedly building a "massive complex" beneath the White House ballroom.

@jzux the bubble will burst within 2 years imo

AI companies will say AI is inevitable and then be like “please please please please please please please please use us”

@maggielove_ Yes, the system is unjust. Yet, we persevere and fight for a better future.

The invisible labor of childbearing and raising is never accounted for in our social welfare system, and the injustice is vicious. If all else fails, most working Americans will have their Social Security or other pension benefits to reap. But a mother who took time off, or otherwise suffered workplace setbacks due to her divided attention, gets a terrible deal. She faces a greater likelihood of impoverishment in old age if her children or husband do not provide for her—all the while the wages of her children are cut to finance the retirements of others. Motherhood is not Rational @SarahTheHaider

a woman recommending something to her friend group has a higher conversion rate than your entire paid ads budget

@carolinerenard_ Grants where are thou? Can’t wait to learn more about the project

Launching another crowdfunding soon for my next short. I’m tired of this grandpa!

@maggielove_ Learning things get harder and easier at the same time

they warn you about pregnancy tired they warn you about newborn tired but they do not warn you about teething tired and it's by far the most tired you'll be and it lasts...forever??

@maggielove_ ➕➕ and doing this helps keep your tone of voice too

The simplest AI trick I use almost every day: I have Claude interview me. I'm not joking. It sounds ridiculous but it works. Here's what I do: I'll be stuck on something like an email I need to send, a decision I'm trying to make, a post I'm trying to write, and instead of staring at a blank page, I paste this into Claude: "Interview me about improving SheFi quest completion. Don't give me answers. Just ask good questions one at a time." Then Claude asks me questions. I answer them. And somehow, by the end of the conversation, I've figured out what I actually think. It's not that Claude is solving the problem for me. It's that answering questions out loud forces me to articulate what's actually going on in my head. This is what I mean when I say I'm learning AI in public. I'm not teaching you to code. I'm showing you what actually works when you're just trying to get your work done faster. Most people think AI is for outputs—write this email, draft this post, make this thing. But the best use I've found is getting clarity before you even start. Try it this week. Pick something you're stuck on and ask Claude to interview you about it. See what happens.

@ProofofIntern it's still alive but not well you need an internal referral above anything else

is the cv dead? (resume for linguistically challenged people) people started using ai to write their cv’s and recruiters got so many that they started filtering through their own ai which caused applicants to use ai even more to tailor them and make them perfect for each individual role. so now recruiters get hundreds/thousands of perfect cv that they’re overwhelmed by it. also hearing that recruiters are mostly only checking the first wave of applications due to the number that they get. no idea how true that is though.
