The Top secret OpenAI + Jony Ive love,from hardware device revealed! This ChatGPT “salt shaker” will see EVERYTHING that you’re doing and “help out” in the house. #openai #techweek #gadget #gadgetguy
Just putting this here before meltdown: Pew Research Center says: A median of 34% of adults say they are more concerned than excited about the increased use of AI, while 42% are equally concerned and excited. A median of 16% are more excited than concerned pewresearch.org/global/2025/…
Here’s what a smaller piano live jam looks like at #burningman in Black Rock Piano Lounge with Eric Lewis aka ELEW. I shot this video. No other approvals are necessary Anyone can use the video in their content crediting “@meltonjohnartcar and donate to @watchdutyapp”
Who’s afraid of a little dust and 50% less shade structures when we rebuild? We had this carnage removed and had a great live music piano party two hours after this video. #burningman #windstorm #duststorm #BRPL @meltonjohnartcar
This reminds me of the Samsung vs Apple wars of 2009. What I’ve found is that when teams are forced and cajoled to work together like Zuck is doing, there will be infighting and egos. Work output goes down. Unless he builds #Llama like the manhattan project with different Indy’s.
SCOOP: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is hitting back at Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s recent AI talent poaching spree. "Missionaries will beat mercenaries," Altman wrote in an internal memo to OpenAI researchers.

I’ve hosted sessions on #AI replacing low level #jobs like paralegals or analysts, preventing them from 10K hours needed to become an expert in a field. This story is pretty interesting on how #Claude can’t run #retail. My first job was a lemonade stand. time.com/7298088/claude-anth…
Female attention to complex details is tried and true, Rosie the Riveter helped win the war! Oh, after four years of building our LED total within @BurningMan747 was something like 300,000 #Artnet controlled pixels over 135 feet of #747 fuselage for #burningman from 2016-2019.
Thanks for the good times in the #superboom in the forest with innovators from @BoomCapital and new and old friends like @Scobleizer @samlevin @barneyp etc!

Knowing how the world works is a torment.
Went to a camp today of entrepreneurs. Run by @CCgong. Great event.
Sat next to the guy who built the computer vision systems just deployed on many San Francisco poles.
Our unconference session was hosted by @ggdm on how to stay private in an AI world.
I am in a post privacy world.
Don’t see a way you all join me. The group couldn’t come up with much.
I’ve heard of underground storage for data centers. But keeping moldy cardboard boxes with paperwork is nothing we should be doing in 2025.
Federal employee retirements are processed using paper, by hand, in an old limestone mine in Pennsylvania. 700+ mine workers operate 230 feet underground to process ~10,000 applications per month, which are stored in manila envelopes and cardboard boxes. The retirement process takes multiple months.
Wait, is this John Stewart @TheDailyShow on @cspan supporting @elonmusk working with @POTUS and not slamming them? 2025 is the final season of the #Apprentice IRL!
Back when I was a kid, we didn’t have rules for spring break, or shootings, or ghost riding, or takeovers or disrespect of the law. #springbreak #worstspringbreakever #miamibeach
Consider this your reality check. Spring Break and Miami Beach don’t mix.

My old #malibu apartment was a victim of the #PalisadesFire yet the house next to it luckily stayed intact. Private water providers helped keep the Village shopping area safe. Neighbors across the street lost their home as well, sadly.

Blistering ending monologue from Bill Maher as he torches LA Mayor Karen Bass 'Nero who fiddled in Ghana as LA burns':
"Axios ran a story on how getting the water out of the hydrants in Pacific Palisades was more complicated than it seems.
I'm sure it's very complicated. That's why I pay 13% of my income in the state every year to people who I assume were working on things like this.
LA's mayor, Karen Bass, the Nero of American politics, was fiddling in Ghana while the city burned. and later . I've heard people say, do you want to pay more taxes to fund this? No, I want you to use the exorbitant taxes you already collect to prioritize it."
Any Democrat who thinks they need to raise taxes in response to the LA fires truly has Stockholm Syndrome.
AI assisting complex problems is the future of work. Word salad poetry and music is not.
