As a deeply technical person who understands the before and after, I have to admit, I am constantly in awe of the magic of LLMs when it comes to coding, system management, my day-to-day life "task completion" (e.g., "go research a new PC for my kid using reviews on these three sites," or "go find which store has item X in stock near me"), and so much more... It really does feel like a dream sometimes

76% of organizations now have a Chief AI Officer, up from 26% a year ago (IBM study, 2,000 CEOs). The title scaled faster than the org design behind it. The decision that matters is not who you hire. It is whether the seat reports to the CEO or the CTO. #AILeadership #OrgDesign

Dear @narendramodi and @nitin_gadkari, I urge you to heed science, reason, and the concerns of ordinary Indians. Here, I explain why India’s E20 policy hurts vehicle owners, water resource, and the environment; and helps the politician-middleman, the sugar, and the liquor lobby:

Living this. I run 26 AI agents and my token costs are unpredictable week to week. Per-seat made sense when humans were the bottleneck. Now the bottleneck is compute and the meter is spinning differently every day. Predictable flat-rate agent pricing would win me over instantly.

2/3 Salesforce's $34.9B revenue looks shaky as 15% of mid-market clients explore exits (per Gartner). AI layoffs (4K jobs) signal cost-cutting, not innovation. HubSpot’s up 25% YTD with agentic AI. Time to pivot or sink? #SalesforceExodus #TechTrends
Salesforce exodus alert: Companies are ditching the CRM giant in 2025 for leaner, AI-native alternatives like agentic tools & rivals (HubSpot, Dynamics). Why? Sky-high costs, bloat, & Benioff's AI layoffs killing the vibe. 4K jobs cut, stock down 18% YTD. Who's next? #Salesforce #TechLayoffs #AIshift [Thread: 1/3] Agentic AI is the killer—predicts sales dips, auto-orders stock, tweaks pricing. No more bloated suites! Startups: Build now or get left behind.

We’re cracking down on hidden junk fees in rental housing. Some folks have had to pay $100 or more just to fill out a rental application, even though a credit check can cost as little as $20. It’s simply not right.

Barbie’s opening weekend was $337M. That’s nearly 2x Oppenheimer’s $174M. Warner Brother's insane ”Operation Barbie Summer” is a big part of that success. These are 50 of the team's most amazing marketing stunts: 1. 3D ad in front of Burj Khalifa

A Crowdfunding campaign for Daniel Penny, the man who played a role in Jordan Neely's death, has raised $2,067,641 thus far. A Crowdfunding campaign for Jordan Neely's family, the man who will never breathe again, has raised $125,972 thus far. This post is not to judge either Neely or Penny. It's up to the court to decide whether Penny's actions amounted to a crime or not. But I would like to hear your thoughts. What does it say about society in general that the dead, homeless man's family has raised 6% of what the man, who has been charged with manslaughter in his death, has? Thoughts?
