O Donald Trump foi jurado de um concurso de modelos adolescentes em 1991. O concurso tinha garotas de 14 anos. Recentemente o jornal The Guardian descobriu que o concurso era fachada para que milionários pudessem transar com as garotas.
Classic Elon.
Elon Musk paid Black people to campaign for Trump in Michigan and then fired them and left them stranded in the streets when they complained about unsafe working conditions for being shipped around in the back of a U-Haul without seats or seatbelts.

Automated code generation is one of the biggest use cases for generative AI.
Meta gave SF’s top hackers 24 hours, thousands of dollars in prizes, and a ton of compute to see what’s possible.
Here’s what we saw at the @AIatMeta x @FactoryAI Codegen Hackathon in SF (🧵):
I’m surprised more people aren’t drawing the conclusion that Putin has Kompromat material on Musk and has been using him to help Trump get elected for years.
Shocked
Based on internal docs, X's Q3 2024 US ad sales was $173 million, down 31% from the same period last year when revenue had already fallen off a cliff.
It means advertisers are not returning or spending as much as before, unhappy with X's direction.

Smart thinking about Retail Media Network consolidation from Andrew Lipsman's Media, Ads + Commerce newsletter. He proposes the concept of an Ecosystem RMN that bundles the inventory from long-tail RMNs and sells it programmatically. The benefits of first-party data and native categorical relevance are preserved while providing inventory scale.
This is vaporware. Nothing like this is shipping in the next 5 years.
Faster, more affordable
– No driver fee
– No expensive radar or lidar equipment. FSD uses cameras alone
– Call it once & and it’s yours as long as needed, for quick trips or all day
Will be less than $30k when purchased
Tesla “robotaxi” will be a Model 3 with 2 seats. He’ll promise to start production next year but won’t. He’ll promise going live next year, but won’t. And 5 years from now we’ll have another “FSD” event where he’ll mostly run the same playbook.
Are you telling me Googles Family Link for limiting kids access and screen time allows the kid to just click “Emergency” and they can call anyone they want 24/7? How is it possible they built it like this?

WOW ---> Mark Robinson:
- Sexually attacked a woman in a department store
- Cheated on his pregnant wife with an adult film star
- Committed financial fraud
- Insulted American war heroes and veterans
Oh sorry that is Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for President.
I get why Meta is ok with investing a lot of money into AR/VR. I don’t at all get why Snap would do anything remotely similar.
Okay it happened! Snapchat Spectacles AR glasses.
Fully standalone. 46 degree field of view. 37 pixels per degree. That’s roughly like a 100” TV screen! 2x snapdragon chips. 45 minutes of battery. Auto transitioning lenses.
Designed for co-presence. Spectator mode and more.
Gotta hand it to Snap for pushing on this extremely hard engineering challenge, despite the rest of their peers going VR first as a stepping stone to this ultimate vision.

I worked on these for about a year at Snap, and I have a million negative things to say about the experience and the device, but I think the product speaks for itself and is obviously bad.
I don’t want to get into the specifics because I might inadvertently break an NDA, and would probably hurt some people’s feelings who worked on it, but it’s really a disaster.

Bringing back pre-existing conditions. These people are straight up evil. Like, they are doing the devils work.
Update: Vance went into even more detail on health care in NC today and again talked about separating people with chronic conditions into separate insurance pools — a major change from the ACA's approach to pre-existing conditions.
Relevant portion: "We're going to actually implement some regulatory reform in the health care system that allows people to choose a healthcare plan that works for them. If you only go to the doctor once a year, you're going to need a different health care plan than somebody who goes to the doctor fourteen times a year because they've got chronic pain or they've got some other chronic condition.
That's the biggest and most important thing that we have to change. Now, what that will also do is allow people with similar health situations to be in the same risk pools, so that makes our health care system work better, makes it work better for the people with chronic issues, it also makes it work better for everybody else."

Today, @CFPB is ordering @Navient to pay $120 million in refunds and penalties for its wide-ranging student loan servicing failures. More importantly, Navient, formerly known as Sallie Mae, will be banned from ever directly servicing federal student loans. consumerfinance.gov/about-us…
