So Iran signs an agreement with the US, turns around, asks Hezbollah to attack Israel. Israel defends itself. Now: closes Strait of Hormuz again. Blames Israel for it all. Objective: strain US-Israel relations. Shame on us if we fall for this.

@DavidSHolz @lulumeservey @yitong It’s incredible.

[David Marcus @davidmarcus]

We officially reached the point where when we pitch potential customers and walk them through @Lightspark capabilities, we hear "this sounds to good to be true". We follow with "here's your sandbox access, try it". Disbelief → happy customers 🔁! https://t.co/MTvnsRlpyq

Can we get Fable back already?

[David Marcus @davidmarcus]

This was long in the making! @Lightspark Grid now supports realtime payments (B2B, B2C, C2C) to China 🇨🇳 and adds CNY. More currencies, more payment systems, more redundancy, best dev experience. Can't stop, won't stop! https://t.co/FX2JDQZSJp

[David Marcus @davidmarcus]

@spencerpratt Haha yes. Ugliest building I’ve ever seen.

[David Marcus @davidmarcus]

@eoghan @salesforce @fin_ai Congrats!

[David Marcus @davidmarcus]

I’m quite confident that this bunch will have no success in their adult lives despite their families sacrificing a lot to give them all the opportunities the world has to offer.

Stanford grads walk out as Google CEO Sundar Pichai takes the stage as commencement speaker. No mention of AI, unlike other uni speakers getting booed down this year. Story for @sfgate shortly

[David Marcus @davidmarcus]

Woah. That really sucks.

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.

The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.

Access to all other Claude models is not affected.

We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

Seeing Dems vilifying success instead of celebrating American exceptionalism to pander to their increasingly left/socialist-leaning supporters is disappointing but on-brand now I guess.

@davistrazza 🎯

[David Marcus @davidmarcus]

Congratulations to the entire @SpaceX team. On a day like today people only see the success. Not the grit, determination, ingenuity, blood, sweat and tears over 24 years to get to this point. Every bit of this success today has been hard earned and deserved.

[David Marcus @davidmarcus]

@tobi @dhh @TDSRacing_live Wow. So cool!!

[David Marcus @davidmarcus]

Openclaw: much more flexibility for complex projects requiring heavy customization and fine tuning.

Hermes: better in an unconstrained environment (access to LAN), or for people who aren’t paranoid enough.

I now use both for very different things and environments.

[David Marcus @davidmarcus]

Sorkin has an unhealthy and profitable obsession with Mark and won’t let truth get in the way of satisfying that. The fact that this whole movie is based on Frances Haugen’s also profitable bag of lies and hallucinations probably won’t matter to an oblivious audience 🤷🏻‍♂️

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

First trailer for ‘THE SOCIAL NETWORK’ sequel, starring Jeremy Strong, Jeremy Allen White and Mikey Madison.

The film follows an engineer who becomes a whistleblower on Facebook's most guarded secrets.

In theaters on October 9.

No question. There's literally no valid reason to oppose voter ID.

[Mike Solana @micsolana]

I think not supporting voter ID at this point is a pretty clear indication you don’t want fair elections, and we need to stop treating people who don’t want fair elections like they have a simple difference of opinion. freedom has been a relatively brief experiment. it’s at risk.

[David Marcus @davidmarcus]

Such a disgrace.
