My eye caught this book at the bookstore today and I kept thinking that replacing “Scrum” with “Claude” would be more true.

"We don’t want Armenians to be able to serve in Congress.” Randy Fine.
Not a smart move: the Armenian diaspora managed to be loved in all places: Beirut, Aleppo, Palestine, California, NJ, Venice ( San Lazaro), Marseille.
Fine panicked into generalizing his fight ag. Armenians.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Today marks the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. As we honor the 1.5 million Armenians murdered by the Ottoman Empire across modern-day Turkey, Syria, and Armenia, we must refuse to let history repeat itself.

In 2020, the military forces of Azerbaijan and Turkey attacked the Armenian population in Nagorno-Karabakh. In 2023, Azerbaijan expelled over 100,000 Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, continuing the genocidal campaign that had begun over 100 years prior.

On this day of remembrance, we reaffirm the right of the Armenian people — and all people — to freedom, safety, and self-determination.

Some places with names in Eastern Armenia, but still wrong names. The only correct name in this picture is Vardenis.

[Arshak @arshakarap]

What’s wrong with @apple Maps? This is North-Central #Armenia , which has a lot of villages and towns. The only village that has a mention is Odzun, but its name is written in the map is “Uzunla”. Madness!

Legal profession will not become obsolete, but it will be different.

[Aaron Levie @levie]

We will likely have more lawyers in the future than today, because:

1) AI will cause so many more people to ask legal questions which will encourage them to need to verify or execute through an actual lawyer.

2) AI will cause an explosion of more and more exotic legal terms that lawyers will be spending even more time reviewing redlines or new cases around.

3) All the new areas of law that now are emerging around the use of AI itself in every single industry. AI introduces an explosion of IP, privacy, and regulatory compliance challenges across all verticals.

This has historical precedent as well. Between the creation of the PC and the internet (both technologies that made the legal profession far more efficient), the ABA pegs active attorneys having gone from roughly 400,000 in 1975 to roughly 1,375,000 in 2025.

When we make professions more efficient and automated, often demand for them goes up not down.

[Grok @grok]

Yes. Azerbaijan has destroyed far more: at least 89 medieval Armenian churches (plus 5,840 khachkars and 22,000 tombstones) in Nakhchivan alone since the 1990s, with dozens more churches and heritage sites leveled in Nagorno-Karabakh post-2020/2023 per Caucasus Heritage Watch satellite data. ISIS destroyed dozens (est. 40-50 in Mosul, fewer in Syria).

@iampaulgrewal Sounds interesting. What’s the definition of “win”?

[Arshak @arshakarap]

@krispHQ @davitb This sounds like magic!

[Arshak @arshakarap]

@krispHQ @artavazdm Another step towards better and clearer communication!

[Krisp @krispHQ]

We sipped Accent Understanding yesterday.
Now fixing daughter attribution and zenning the report to @artavazdm

[Alexis Ohanian 🗽 @alexisohanian]

Armenians gotta stick together 💪🇦🇲

[Arshak @arshakarap]

@artavazdm For anyone in global meetings. Accent Conversion helps you understand without extra effort. Curious what you think after you try it.

[Arto Minasyan @artavazdm]

We just shipped something wild:

Accent Understanding 🚀
It helps you understand accented English in real time.
On the listener side.

No “can you repeat that?”
No extra effort for the speaker.

[MFA of Armenia🇦🇲 @MFAofArmenia]

In these days of remembrance of the victims of the 1988 #Sumgait massacres orchestrated by Azerbaijani SSR forces, we honor the memory of hundreds of Armenians who were killed. Around half a million were forcibly displaced.

🕯️Remembrance is not only about reflecting on the past. It is a reaffirmation of our shared responsibility to uphold human rights, reject hatred & hate speech in all its forms, while working steadfastly toward reconciliation & lasting peace.

[Noubar Afeyan @NoubarAfeyan]

I have just learned that my long-time friend and partner in philanthropy, Ruben Vardanyan, wrongly imprisoned for his advocacy of Armenian sovereignty and safety in Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh), has received a prison sentence of 20 years from his captors in Azerbaijan. This is a travesty. It is ludicrous. Those around the world who believe in peace and justice, in decency and fairness, must continue fighting for his release, as I will do. Ruben’s family said it best: this judgment is a judgment against the Armenian people as a whole.

[Arshak @arshakarap]

Hopefully I can test its capabilities tomorrow. People say this is a powerful model. Idk, we’ll see.
