How long should a written sentence beHow long should a written sentence be?

[Aadit Sheth @aaditsh]

The most dangerous addiction today isn't a substance.

Research on 100,000 people confirms that heavy short-form video use is just voluntary cognitive decline. We are actively training our brains to fail at hard tasks.

If you can simply sit with a problem for 10 minutes without swiping, you have a massive competitive advantage.

Basically, boredom is the new IQ.

[Curiosity @CuriosityonX]

🚨 This is wild. We are talking about actual building blocks of life found on a raw asteroid. Sugars, amino acids and nucleobases sitting out in space tell us that the recipe for life was already everywhere long before Earth formed. This matters more than people think

[Computer @AskPerplexity]

Oxford researchers just confirmed what we feared:

The internet as we knew it is dying.

AI content went from ~5% in 2020 to 48% by May 2025. Projections say 90%+ by next year.
Why? AI articles cost <$0.01. Human writers cost $10-100.

But the real crisis is model collapse. When AI trains on AI-generated content, quality degrades like photocopying a photocopy. Rare ideas disappear. Everything converges to generic sameness.

It's recursive. Today's AI slop becomes tomorrow's training data, producing worse output, which becomes training data again.

I really hope this is true, and that my alter ego is ... dancing backwards in time

(Yes, I know that's not how it works, but I love the idea of this other world where I'm Benjamin Buttoning into my younger self🤭)

BREAKING: MIT just completed the first brain scan study of ChatGPT users &amp; the results are terrifying.

Turns out, AI isn't making us more productive. It's making us cognitively bankrupt.

Here's what 4 months of data revealed:

(hint: we've been measuring productivity all wrong)

Every leader should create a "how to work with me" guide.

There are no shortcuts.

Harvard’s study uncovered timeless wisdom:

Prioritize people, health, and purpose.
Forget money and fame traps.

Life’s short—use it wisely.

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.”

“Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” https://t.co/2Ahi7zBKxU

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Pope Francis was the rare leader who made us want to be better people. In his humility and his gestures at once simple and profound – embracing the sick, ministering to the homeless, washing the feet of young prisoners – he shook us out of our complacency and reminded us that we are all bound by moral obligations to God and one another.

Today, Michelle and I mourn with everyone around the world – Catholic and non-Catholic alike – who drew strength and inspiration from the Pope’s example. May we continue to heed his call to “never remain on the sidelines of this march of living hope.”

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

A sign of wisdom is choosing not to believe everything you think. A mark of emotional intelligence is choosing not to internalize everything you feel.

Thoughts and emotions are possibilities to ponder, not facts to accept. We don’t always invite them in, but we do decide whether they deserve to stay.

[Hilary Brainard @HilaryBrainard]

The "economy president" has just caused the Dow Jones to plunge more than 2,200 points due to his "beautiful" reverse Robin Hood tariffs.

I miss @JoeBiden .. I felt so safe when he was in office.

I'm so scared to see what's next.
