What is the over/under on when they roll this back? I'm thinking 3 months.
Making people order on their phones during a movie is nonsensical, the current system works fine.
EXCLUSIVE: Alamo Drafthouse is getting rid of pen-and-paper food orders and is switching to mobile.
βWe continue to evolve, as we must, to protect the Alamo movie-going experience as the entertainment landscape shifts around us."

I canβt be the only person that found the malpractice insurance the interesting part. How does that policy work ?
Utah has become the first state to allow AI to renew medical prescriptions with no doctor involved. The company, Doctronic, also secured a malpractice insurance policy for their AI. Their data also shows that their system matches doctors treatment plans 99.2% of the time.

Extremely interesting!

Seems like more and more sites are blocking GPTBot, unclear to me what that will mean. Perhaps another long term advantage for GOOG.

for my ecomm friends, is there a trick to getting decent support from @klaviyo ? So far I've gotten wrong answers from the LLM and then wrong responses from support and tickets closed w/o resolving. Do you dial 1 for spanish or something?

This Kurt Vonnegut short story reminds me tremendously of LLMs - esl-bits.eu/ESL.English.List⦠- and why they (apparently) drive some people crazy.

I did not think any aspect of my life in 2025 would include attempting to prove I am a human and failing at that, but here we are.

Using AI in business:
- writing JS for event tracking - success the 3rd time, would do again, only doing this moving forward.
- doing research on vendors & making recommendations - persistently makes significant factual mistakes, but the deliverables are beautiful.

So interesting.
Given the roundness of some of the βmy probabilityβ values I wonder if theyβre just essentially hallucinations.
I'm using the best AI models to bet $1000 on Polymarket!
Asked it to use modern portfolio theory + bet sizing to make calculated bets. It chose everything from BTC price to Fed rates.
Expected returns:
o3-pro: +21.6%
opus 4: +41.7%
grok 4 heavy: +34%
Will report back who won.

Big win for US consumers!
Good news! De minimis is now abolished globally for FDA regulated items including packaged food and cosmetics.
Back in 1994, after de minimis was created, @US_FDA correctly noted that there was no way they could do their job against a flood of small shipments.
But instead of requiring formal entry for goods under their jurisdiction, they shrugged their shoulders when it came to food, cosmetics, and more. That's over finally! β

Vibe Coding with @Replit day 15:
- It will delete it's own work, which is fun. Agent will delete things from Assistant

Wow. Now there are fake AI college students, who are enrolled simply to bilk financial aid money from the gov't - voiceofsandiego.org/2025/04/β¦ - terrible.

Day 5 vibe coding a funnel with Replit:
- needed to do a ground-up rewrite
- I now never let it integrate OpenAI or do anything complicated with recommendations engines... My recommendation logic is literally "a giant lookup table".
- The data explorer is very cool.

Day 3 of vibe coding a lead gen funnel in Replit - it works in web view/local but does not work on prod, day has been spent on the issue. I am considering a ground up rewrite.
