In April I wrote about what institutional silence measures: 890M lines of #WordPress plugin code, analysed and released free. No reply. Silence is data. #WPEngine litigation is one candidate. This week #Automattic's board put #MattMullenweg on leave. medium.com/predict/the-artif…

Anthropic CEO: "It is absolutely wild that people are talking about the same tired political issues, when we are near the end of the AI exponential." Dario Amodei spent 10 minutes explaining why almost nobody sees it. here's what he covers: > in 2017 he predicted exactly where AI would be today. he was right. > models went from "smart high school student" to "PhD-level work" step by step as planned. > the progress has not slowed down, not even close. > none of this surprised him, what surprised him is that nobody else sees it. the world is still focused on everything else. new episodes, memes, celebrity beef, election news.. meanwhile the most important thing happening right now goes unnoticed. this is not a slow shift, it never was. the people who understand this early and actually start using these tools properly are going to be in a completely different position than everyone else, that gap is already opening. the guide on how to be on the right side of it is in the article below.

We totally understand Your Excellency El Presidente of Venezuela and Cuba Governor of Greenland and Supreme Leader of Iran In the words of John the Baptist to his cousin Jésus “You are the one we’ve been waiting for” … the new blood, Trump’s reluctant protégés that brings in both political expediency and cultural composition of America Much love and God’s speed Amigo

Dear @elonmusk , please watch professor Hans Rosling's video on global population growth like this: youtu.be/jbkSRLYSojo?si=fIP5… And also the reason behind the changes like this: youtu.be/FACK2knC08E?si=Nz5K… So you dont have to panic about demographic change and think it's a conspiracy

[Cami] Most people, once they get to know their partner, they fall out of love. But a rare few fall deeper. A very rare few. How strange to be sitting at a table full of ’em. Best line, so far, this season. @landmanpplus

⁦@Starlink⁩ ⁦@elonmusk⁩ What does it take to inform this poor hotelier of mine that his dish needs proper alignment so that she and her guest get the 10x speed we could all enjoy? Don’t you think it is your responsibility too? speedtest.net/result/i/68141…

Hey @elonmusk — you’re all about that #FreeSpeech life, right? So where’s the tweet defending @JeffBezos’ right to show us Amazon’s tariff-driven price hikes when Trump comes at him? 🤔 Facts aren’t just for show, they’re free speech! 📊💥 #TariffTruth #FirstAmendment

"...οι πιέσεις, οι Άγγλοι, τα ανάκτορα, αυτά είναι λίγο - πολύ γνωστά" τα λόγια του Μάνου Χατζιδάκι που έζησε εκείνη την εποχή και τα ήξερε καλύτερα απ' όλους μας. ...κι αριστερό δεν τον έλεγες. ...το μεταπολεμικό καθεστώς "πούλησε" μια εντελώς πλαστή εικόνα για τον Μεταξά.

Very happy to announce that I am on the House of Common’s Defence Select Committee. Regular followers will be relieved that there will be more defence/conflict/geopolitical content from now on. You never know - even break out the 🖍️🖍️🖍️ every now and again!

Ομως αυτο για την Ελλαδα ηταν κατι ξενο. Εμαθα αργοτερα οτι διαφοροι ελεγαν στους επενδυτες μου οτι… εκανα υπερβολες. Βασικα χαλουσαμε την πιατσα, που θελει το αυτοκινητο ως επαθλο, ακομη κι αχρηστο γιατι δεν νομιζω ενα στελεχος να εχει αναγκη στα 40-50 ενα αυτοκινητο. 3/3

(Εννοω οτι εχει μεγαλυτερη αναγκη απο εναν τελειόφοιτο). Απλα και σε αυτη την περιπτωση ειναι το φαινεσθαι του… «στελεχους» και το καροτακι της “επιτυχιας” μεσα απο conformity. Τα θεμα με τα μαλλια, δεν ειναι… τριχες - ειναι ενδεικτικο της εν γενει νοοτροπιας 3/3+
