One of the weirdest things about https://t.co/hg8pSKqyI0 in it's latest iteration is all the F1 racing style visuals and stuff. Where did all the music theming go? Probably should be called Racetrack or something like that instead of Remix now.

What's the point of a software business now? I have thoughts!

The finale of THE DIPLOMAT says a great deal about putting country over party.

I've been thinking about the AI-powered product lifecycle like an internal combustion engine.

Everyone's focused on making agents faster and running more of them in parallel.

Think about what an engine needs:

Fuel: A backlog of valuable, well-defined work. Without it, agents sit idle.

Oxygen: The context, tools, and coordination to actually execute, especially when running in parallel.

Exhaust: Review, validation, merging, shipping, and measuring. If you can't clear completed work fast enough, everything backs up.

I think we're getting pretty good at the execution part.

[Clay Diffrient @claydiffrient]

@ncloward This is a great analogy!

[Clay Diffrient @claydiffrient]

Every single person should condemn the livestream of an execution. There's no need for that to be broadcast.

What the actual fuck are we doing???

@djsmith42 @AnkanXplorer It's okay typing is overrated these days. :)

@djsmith42 @AnkanXplorer Tom Sawyer is a pretty fun song, but I don't think Rush is topping charts right now. :p

@rslrooster Wait, Quinton is out? We might have a shot at winning!

@daryl_millar The flashbacks are so important and very relevant to what happens next.

@suatyavuz @gilb_eee That's a complete hallucination by your AI.

Silo 1 only had men other than Anna who was hiding.

Donald and Rick Brewer were traded places at the last minute.

Helen was known as Karma Brewer after forgetting and married Rick.

See Shift, Chapter 36.

[Clay Diffrient @claydiffrient]

@suatyavuz @gilb_eee Helen isn't in Silo 1 in the book . She's in Silo 2.

@calebturner23 Kinda tragic with Kei. Kei going pro that young honestly probably destroyed his career for a flashy 10 minutes in MLS play. He should have been playing in the academy for longer against peers closer to his age, developing a bit more before going pro.

@FiredUpCoug @jacelala I haven't watched the movie, but the book was pretty meh to me. Very similar to how you described the movie. Sunrise on the Reaping was much better and had a few moments where the payoff is better if you've read the Songbirds and Snakes first.
