Solid work by our teams to bend the AI cost curve while continuing to enable broad adoption. AI adoption at Uber is up 7X since Feb, while cost per session is down over 50% since the peak in May. More here: https://t.co/m0q4RlS2hi

"AI makes everyone a developer" is true the way cameras made everyone a photographer. Most of the output still isn't worth shipping.

Your vibe-coded MVP isn't shipped until a second engineer can delete a file without first saying a prayer.

It took about 2 hours and I got cut off from the search function for suspicious activity 80% through, but I’ve mostly recreated my follows list on T*reads now.

Amazing how much not wanting to use an Elon product will motivate you.

An American crocodile in Costa Rica laid a clutch of eggs. That was peculiar: She’d been living alone for 16 years. One of them matured in an incubator, yielding a perfectly formed but stillborn baby crocodile.

Game-changing device at a price point that means the game will only be changed for a very small subset of the market… for now.

Someone talk me out of buying an island on Loch Lomond.

142 acres, a cottage and a jetty for £995k.

What could go wrong?

@ChanceKelch Fair. Though I imagine it wouldn’t include a total comp number because men haven’t been socialized to look for that from a partner.

Exactly a decade ago, on May 30, 2013 I wrote this Op Ed in Bloomberg arguing for everyone to put 1% of their net worth in BTC.

The average price that day was $128.80.

Sadly, @business still won't release this from behind their pay wall.

@RonAmadeo @eric_young_1 Fact-based? It was a list of blue links ranked by an algorithm that went to other pages with statements and opinions, often crafted to game the system and drive you to the page - all of which could be subordinated beneath a long list of paid ads. What made that more trustworthy?
