Al Gore is the perfect model for today's DNC. Whenever we happen to something right, we will
(get paid to) avoid fighting for it and likely retract it. insideclimatenews.org/news/1…

If you work in the software industry and have time to read only one long-form post today, read this one.
If you have time to read two, read this one twice.
Highly #recommend
tl;dr: Stay off the yellow brick road that the frontier model companies are racing down. There is plenty of opportunity to solve hard problems elsewhere. Focus on areas where you can build the system of work (workflows), capture compounding, non-public data and deliver deterministic outcomes that customers need.
The people asking you to sign petitions in the Powell Bart station or misrepresenting their position. They claim it’s a pro BART petition but the main backer is Chris Larsen, so that’s bullshit.

Most leaders view AI guardrails as a set of handcuffs.
They’ve got it backward.

Over 40 years of combined Shopify App Store experience packed into one panel. I don't think this has ever been done before 🤯
See you next week, Toronto!
First: on night one (May 27th) at the Illuminarium, we're bringing together some true OGs of the ecosystem with an incredible breadth of experience for a wide ranging panel. Featuring @celispj, @EmiliHorncastle, @jasonnmyers, and @aaron_wadler, moderated by @l8r_graham.
@KyleBarr5 Ive (& the Android XR team that is copying him) is just going to provide us with a new addiction. No effort will be made to "save" us. & AI is slowing down because training these massive models is near impossible. Lack of data is entirely mktg BS to distract investors.
That said, $aapl should run, not walk, to acquire LoveFrom to repeat the NEXT experience by making Ive CEO.
