For those who’ve never experienced it, fatherhood is being asked, “Where’s mom?” 10x every hour.
While I’ve never experienced motherhood, I’d imagine it’s being asked for everything else.

Is it me, or does the entire business model of broadcast television depend on pharmaceutical commercials?

Amplifying this. With so much suspicion around tampering with voting this election, reasonable voices with real-world knowledge about how elections work are needed.
@ElectionBabe is one of those voices. Follow her and bring some sanity to your feed.
Florida is a paper ballot state. There’s an ADA-compliant machine for disabled voters at each site required by law, but the vast majority of voters vote using a regular paper ballot. Which county/EV site reported a problem? Specifics matter.

Agree.
Senator Cotton is right. Permanent Daylight Savings has been tried and Americans didn’t like it. The better way is permanent Standard Time because it’s based on science. No dark mornings, it keeps our time in sync with the Sun, and no more changing the clocks. Arizona has been on Standard Time year round since 1968 without issue.

AI has finally answered the question "What would Dumb Donald from 'Fat Albert' look like without his hat on?"
The singularity has arrived.
That's Dumb Donald from Fat Albert. He always wore that pink stocking cap. Here's a version without it covering his face. In the cartoon his full face was never drawn, but the 2004 movie showed him handsome underneath.

The problem posed by AI isn't AI to human alignment, but human to human alignment.
The nuclear age began with the bombing of 2 cities. Through coordinated effort and strong multilateral institutions, nuclear power has been used exclusively for the benefit of humanity. (cont.)
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

@RPKent was the one who taught me money = work and work = energy. Replace money with tokens, and we have the AI economy in a nutshell.
Marc Andreessen: “This is the grand unification of AI and crypto”
“I think AI is the killer crypto app… It’s now obvious that AI agents are going to need money. It’s already happening.”
Marc explains:
“My friends, who are the most aggressive users of OpenClaw, have given their Claws bank accounts and credit cards. And not only have they done it, but it’s obvious that they needed to do it… It’s just completely obvious. The number of people who have done that today is, I don’t know, probably 5,000 or or something. But it will grow. That’s how these things start.”

Agree. By reducing the cost of producing software, AI has opened the door for software to profitably serve niche markets.
I heard an incredible analogy from a VC friend that I can’t stop thinking about.
“The moat in software was the cost of building software. And Claude Code just mass produced a bridge.”
It’s wild when you think about the impact of this.
The SaaS boom produced a few dozen billionaires and a bunch of zero sum winners.
But the AI SaaS era will mass produce millionaires.
There will be fewer ServiceTitans hitting $5B valuations, and instead there will be 50,000 companies doing $500K-$5M each, run by 1-3 people with deep expertise and huge margins.
To be clear, I believe that the total value of software goes up, and the number of companies created goes up exponentially.
But the number of people who capture the value also goes up 100x.
I don’t believe in the “SaaS is dying” headline, I think it’s missing the point.
It’s simply that the power of SaaS is changing hands.

My experience with AI thus far has given me a better understanding as to why Han Solo was always yelling at C-3PO.

Why isn’t Moody’s downgrading the US credit rating front page news?
Reminder: if we cut all discretionary federal spending, the US would still run a deficit of $200B.
There’s no way out of this hole without entitlement reforms & raising taxes.
