Two new videos out of Traverse City and Cassopolis, Michigan show helicopters running airborne electromagnetic surveys. They’re mapping aquifers to gauge how much groundwater they can claim.

It's pre-ritual for an inbound data center.

This was my advice to @KevinGuskiewicz November 2023. I take zero pleasure in its accuracy. MSU is permanently broken.

One of the biggest scams going on at airports is Indians, who are perfectly capable of walking, are abusing the airport wheelchair service to skip long walks and get priority boarding

🚨 Wow. Seven of the eight new internal medicine residents at taxpayer-funded Indiana University are foreigners. Half are from Pakistan.

Does anyone believe no American medical students are qualified? IU has our country’s largest medical school.

We need to end the H-1B visa scam

Truck drives around Shibuya playing “learn Japanese motherfucker”

What's the message here?

[久野伊智🌸🌒✨🐦‍🔥 @kunoichi_jp_]

To my friends learning Japanese,

Let me warn you about a word your textbook will mistranslate.

Otsukaresama.

Your textbook will say: "Thank you for your hard work."

This is technically correct.

It is also completely useless.

The real meaning lives in the way Japanese people use it.

When a colleague leaves the office at 7 PM: otsukaresama.

When you join a Zoom call at 9 AM: otsukaresama.

When you finish a karaoke song poorly: otsukaresama.

When a friend tells you about a difficult weekend: otsukaresama.

When someone finishes a long shift: otsukaresama.

It is hello, goodbye, thank you, well done, I see you, that sounded rough, and good luck — all in one word.

The literal translation is closer to "you have become honorably tired."

It is the word a country uses when it has decided that the default assumption about every other person you meet is:

they have been working hard,

they are probably a little tired,

and the polite thing to do is to acknowledge that out loud.

Most languages have words for greeting.

Japan has a word that begins by assuming everyone is doing their best.

87% of MBA grad students think they will be making $700,000 per year by age 35.

Among those same students, they list ‘work life balance’ as their top priority.

There might be a disconnect in expectations.

Our Anthropic bill is about to jump from $400K → $1.4M/yr.

Not because usage exploded, but because we're about to cross 150 seats.

Past 150 seats you're forced into Enterprise tier. Seats stop including any usage, every token bills at standard API rates. At our current run rate that's 3.5x overnight.

Unfiltered thoughts on AI spend:

1. We should spend tokens to grow as aggressively as possible. But most people (me included) aren't conscious of what they're spending.

2. Visibility comes first. People see their personal number and they're shocked. I accidentally spent $4,000 in 3 days in Claude Code.

3. For engineering the spend is clearly worth it. Pay for the best model, it saves more than it costs.

4. For a lot of other roles it's questionable. Apps nobody uses, skills someone already built. No ROI.

5. Spend limits are coming. We already require approval for more tokens on our support team.

The era of token-maxxing is coming to an end.

Entire off-shore team in India (200+) was laid off by OpenDoor and is being replaced by smaller ai-native teams in the US.

This is a watershed moment in AI Ops. It shows how advancements in frontier models are paying off and how it affects the cost-arbitrage that made India a popular offshoring destination.

The entire outsourcing playbook has moved. Might see do away with ops-heavy workforces to nimble ai-native teams on-shore.

BREAKING NEWS: Anthropic's latest model will NOT help you if it thinks your ML research/ML engineering is interesting, and/or will secretly degrade its IQ so that the average engineer won't notice. We are already seeing Anthropic's latest model's moderation filters our GPU inference research and programming 😭

Hospitals: post your real prices and comply with federal law.

Patients deserve transparency. Hospitals that continue hiding prices will face consequences.

The news just broke that SoftBank could not secure a 6bn$ vs its OpenAI shares

Let me tell you a thing: if you cannot secure a 6bn$ loan against collateral you claim is worth ~100bn$, then the latter isn't worth ~100bn$. In this case, it might be worth not much more than 6bn$.
