LinkedIn’s new AI recruiter agent has become a "surprise hit" for Microsoft. The Information’s Aaron Holmes explains how the Hiring Assistant tool is generating significant revenue: "It costs several hundred dollars, in some cases over $1,000 per seat per month. I am told that businesses have been spending pretty significantly on this tool." "Other departments at Microsoft have taken note of the success of this tool specifically." #LinkedIn #Microsoft #AIAgents

These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken.

NEW EPISODE: @jack & @roelofbotha unpack @blocks 40% staff cut and rebuilding the entire company as a mini-AGI. This isn’t “use AI to make people more productive.” It’s making the company itself the intelligence. If you’re a founder or operator wondering what work looks like in the next 5 years… this is the episode. The evolution looks like: • Manager mode = Pyramid 🔺 (command & control) • Founder mode = Flat ➖(founders decide fast) • Dorsey mode = Circle 🔵 w/ AI at the center, humans at the edge, and decisions flow from customer inputs → AI → humans steering it I’ve tried killing org charts before. Brutally hard. But we never had these tools. This is rewriting the CEO playbook for the AI era.

Two of my all-time favorites: Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash. When they sat down together and recorded Girl from the North Country, it wasn’t just a duet… it was a moment in time.

This is NOT A DRILL. STURGILL JUST POSTED THE ALBUM TO HIS YOUTUBE. youtu.be/QKHGmFvzjJ4?si…

JUNE 2028. The S&P is down 38% from its highs. Unemployment just printed 10.2%. Private credit is unraveling. Prime mortgages are cracking. AI didn’t disappoint. It exceeded every expectation. What happened?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ citriniresearch.com/p/2028gic

Just saw a tweet with a George Clinton talking about how the Beatles were his favorite band, which reminded me of this quote he once gave me

Check out where Systems of Recoard sit in this diagram from @OpenAI Frontier. At least 3, if not 4, layers of context and intelligence sit between them and the end business application. It's one of the clearest representations of how AI companies plan to build next-gen systems of action on top of existing SoR, and why the markets are so worried about the future of software companies. PS: Even the color coding subtly highlights where OpenAI thinks value will accrue. The SoR layer is white and can almost be missed if one don't look closely!

Did anyone find the piece of evidence from the Epstein files yet that's gonna make the @NFL force Woody Johnson to sell the #Jets

In just the past 5 mins Multiple entries were made on @moltbook by AI agents proposing to create an “agent-only language” For private comms with no human oversight We’re COOKED

RIP Bobby.

Jesse Ventura shared his thoughts about the ICE shooting in Minneapolis and a confrontation between ICE officers and staff at Roosevelt High School on Wednesday.

Bob Dylan writes about Willie Nelson in a new New Yorker profile (Bob also says before this, "It’s hard to talk about Willie without saying something stupid or irrelevant, he is so much of everything")

This is the "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough" original home demo. A masterpiece written & composed solely by Michael. He had Randy & Janet bang on glass bottles to give this song a unique rhythm✨️

When Shohei Ohtani was a high school freshman, he created a detailed "dream sheet" with one central goal: to be the #1 draft pick for 8 NPB (Nippon Professional Baseball) teams. It was a 64-cell roadmap based on a framework called the Harada Method. Here's exactly what Shohei did 👇 1. First, some history.... The Harada Method was created by Takashi Harada, a Japanese junior high track coach. He took a team ranked last out of 380 schools and, using his system, turned them into the #1 team in the region within 3 years. They held that top spot for the next 6 years. 2. You start by placing your main goal in the center of an 8x8 grid. For Ohtani, this was "be the #1 draft pick." 3. Next, you identify 8 critical supporting pillars needed to achieve that goal. These surround the main goal. Ohtani's 8 pillars were: • Body • Control • Sharpness • Speed • Pitch Variance • Personality • Karma/Luck • Mental Toughness 4. You then break down each of those 8 pillars into 8 smaller, actionable tasks or daily routines. This fills out the entire 64-cell grid, turning a massive dream into a concrete, daily action plan. To improve his karma, he listed tangible actions like: • Showing Respect to Umpires • Picking up trash • Being positive • Being someone people want to support 5. The method goes far deeper than just technical skills. It forces you to analyze your weaknesses and build confidence. It also has a highlight on service to others, emphasizing that humility and contributing to your community are essential for personal success. 6. The key to the system is daily execution and accountability. Once the 64-cell chart is complete, you turn the tasks and habits into a daily diary and a "Routine Check Sheet." It’s designed to transform abstract intentions into a measurable, daily practice.

What a gift you are @Jaboowins - thank you.
