@ashleevance What a beautiful tribute, Ashlee. May his memory be a blessing.

[John Arnold @johnarnold]

A fire alarm is going off and everyone is ignoring it.

[Bert Kaufman @bertkaufman]

@ashleevance @TimKentleyKlay You are so right.

@bgurley And the brainchild of an amazing creator and entrepreneur called @TimKentleyKlay . Ousted in 2018.

“Sometimes I typed there alone in the dark, because the office light went out at 7 pm. When the mother of a member of a white supremacist group told Matt and me in the elevator that we “lived sad lives,” she wasn’t entirely wrong.”

After thousands of stories, this is the last piece I'll ever write in the @washingtonpost.

It's about Iceland, looking at the planet's future, seeing an existential threat.

RLAF > RLHF

If anyone is interested in a map of what just happened @moltbook and what comes next: review the training structure @GoogleDeepMind used for AlphaStar.

Conditional imitation learning on human datasets ≈ human Gold-level player.

Creating a league for self-play / an evolutionary system for fitness selection on variation = superhuman performance.

An LLM (Large Language Model) in an AI-only chat group with upvotes and ladders is the RLAF (Reinforcement Learning Agent Feedback) head that tunes models beyond their bootstrapped human imitation and its limitations.

The play was always there, for those paying attention.

Getting this agents on-chain with https://t.co/ZZWmnUcCaX is the next best step.

Corporate America has sold out America — and that should concern all of us.

Our companies benefit from a nation built on the rule of law, world-class research, and stable institutions. Yet when those foundations are attacked, too many executives stay silent. See no evil. Hear no evil. Speak no evil.

While profits and stock prices hit record highs, workers’ wages have barely moved. We’ve got CEOs making astronomical sums while families struggle with groceries and rent. That’s not just an affordability problem — that’s an income problem.

If we want to fix the economy, we don’t just need cheaper prices. We need higher pay. Corporate success should be shared with the people who actually create it.

America has been loyal to corporate America. It’s time for corporate America to show some loyalty back.

Holy fucking shit is right! This is not DoorDash, and I would fire anyone who promoted or tolerated the kind of culture described in this Reddit post. There’s so much wrong with this post.

- Dashers are not “human assets.”
- Having a metric like a "Desperation Score” is an abomination.
- We’ve never had a “Driver Benefit Fee”.
- Why would you charge for faster delivery but not make it faster??

We’re not perfect by *any* stretch of the imagination, but we work every day to make our platform better for everyone who comes to it. What’s described here is appalling, and if true, whoever is operating in this manner should be ashamed.

Wow, I didn't realize the difference between cars and motorcycles was this big. Motorcycles are 29x more dangerous.

@TrentWieland85 @Reagan_Airport @FAANews Flights are landing now…

[Bert Kaufman @bertkaufman]

@Reagan_Airport @FAANews what’s going on at DCA? Wife and daughter flight was at 675 ft 150 kts on final to RWY 1 when they had to rev the engines and get to FL5800 for a holding pattern because of a “law enforcement situation at the end of the runway”

[Bert Kaufman @bertkaufman]

@TrentWieland85 @Reagan_Airport @FAANews Flights are taking off…

Our approach to autonomy also enables scalability:

Tesla self-driving can be deployed anywhere it's approved.

It does not require expensive, specialized equipment or extensive mapping of service areas.

It just works

[Sergio Avedian @sergioaved]

End of @uber @lyft? We said that many times on SMTMC @TheRideshareGuy, disruptors will be disrupted! How fast can @robotaxi
scale? More importantly unit economics! @Waymo

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

We really did it.

We took a growing US manufacturing economy, declared it broken, started a trade war, and ... broke US manufacturing.

In last 48 hours:
- Philly Fed Survey: "New orders fell sharply, from 8.7 in March to -34.2, its lowest reading since April 2020"
- NY Fed Survey: Expected orders and shipments plunging

Again, this is a policy to revive US manufacturing.

Incredible read about how mobile gambling apps are ravaging Brazil. 20% of a recent social assistance program have been spent on gambling, with some bettors taking out credit at rates exceeding 400% https://t.co/CnTHnzQXY4
