Really @reidhoffman?! AOC is where you’d consider throwing your weight behind? Sure gender & race could be factors against her, but so could her lack understanding of basic facts, or her inability to sound reasonable? 🤦🏽‍♂️ yahoo.com/news/politics/arti…

Jeez, going back in time, I’m finding their other stuff too. How did I not see this before? Voice handling too? Cool.

Oh cool, they also make the tech available to devs.
Excited to add our AgentCloak data protection skill to @OpenCode! Now developers can protect sensitive data with a simple prompt instead of learning an API! Great when sending data between systems or cross-border. Check out the demo video or learn more at incountry.com/integrations/o…

Oh, this is sick!!! 😂. Love it!
Introducing AgentCloak: Use any AI without sharing your real data. Chinese AI services, ChatGPT, Claude, doesn't matter. You probably try to hide details before asking: different names, fake numbers, no address. But then the answer's useless because the AI is missing actual context. AgentCloak runs in your browser. It swaps your sensitive info for realistic fakes before sending anything, then swaps your real info back into the response. You get what you need. The AI gets nothing about you. Works entirely in-browser. Already trusted by some of the biggest companies in the world. Now free to use. agentcloak.ai/

The Great Barrier Reef's “obituary” was written again and again. But the patient didn’t comply: the five best years in the monitoring record are the five most recent. The reason you may not have heard this: alarming predictions are prominently reported, but rarely revisited when catastrophe fails to arrive. latimes.com/opinion/story/20…

love seeing Netflix suffer after bait & switching us from the original ad-free promise to the crap they offer now (unless of course you pay them more money so they can bait & switch us again ;). good to see i’m not the only one telling to pound sand 🤣 wsj.com/business/media/netfl…

dear @united, if u want to know why ppl hate your airline, it’s because u have some of dumbest people working for you dealing w/some of the most complicated set of rules imaginable. a dastardly combination. funny how i don’t get a stupid survey request after that last interaction

Why do I get the sneaking suspicion that the ultra-millionaire label will apply to those who have a number just above her millions 😉
The Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act would generate over $6 trillion over the next decade—without raising taxes on 99.85% of American households. This wealth tax for millionaires and billionaires could pay for universal child care, free community college, Medicare expansion, and more.

And the U.S. wants to hold the high moral ground on access to data of foreign citizens too. What an outrage, but par for the course with the current pro-biz FTC we have installed now. If it’s good for business, f**k the people 😆
The FTC just settled with OkCupid and Match Group for secretly handing nearly 3 million users' dating profile photos and location data to Clarifai, a company that builds facial recognition software(!!!). The penalty? A promise not to do it again.

Another day in California 🤦🏽
Gavin Newsom wants to remind you it is now always peak fire season in California. Also, please ignore the massive homeless encampment that was set up in the exact spot of this now raging infrno sending people running for their lives in Santee, California.

How’s this working out for California, @CAgovernor? Probably as well as an avg. gasoline price of $6/gal. (much more in some parts). On the bright side, EV sales are down and they’re about to lay the tracks so they can begin laying the tracks for the bullet train 🤣

This is again complete and utter bullish. LLMs are nowhere near human intelligence. And Amodei knows this. The question is why do he keep lying about it?
🚨 Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei: “We are so close to these models reaching the level of human intelligence, and yet there doesn't seem to be a wider recognition in society of what's about to happen … There hasn't been a public awareness of the risks.”

He’s so brave 🤣. Low hanging fruit compared to the Nancy Pelosi stock scandal. I guess prediction markets are easier to take on than Wall Street, and the money the politicos are making is “too big to fail” 😆
I’m signing an executive order banning California state officials from using insider information to place bets, including in prediction markets. We will not tolerate this kind of corruption in California.

sometimes i wonder how much science goes into people like @mzjacobson’s analysis, since the stuff they’re proposing doesn’t pass the basic physics & chemistry test. here’s an example of that from someone who’s not even adverse of various energy sources: open.substack.com/pub/rogerp…

D’op!
Perhaps AGI is not imminent after all.

This is only the beginning. And it won’t just be billionaires leaving since everyone knows CA can’t help itself & will quickly move down the income levels. Funny, they wouldn’t need to do any of this if they clamped down on the corruption driving tax $s into scammers’ hands 🤦🏽‍♂️
Larry Page is gone. He wasn't just pretending to move to Florida. He has moved. The proposed wealth tax hasn't even passed, and already it has cost California both Larry's presence and all the tax revenue it made from him.
