Guinness World Record. 🏆 We build bigger in Texas 💪💪💪

BlueBirds just made history, recognized by Guinness as the world’s largest commercial communications arrays ever deployed in low Earth orbit.

An American breakthrough in space engineering.

Built in Texas. Broadband from space. A market we invented. 🇺🇸🌎📶📱

@rmcwhorter99 2027 Update: Handed my humanoid running Fable 8.5 an axe to chop down a dying tree in my yard. It ended up hallucinating and over pruning my azaleas in an attempt to optimize for flower bud growth.

[Ryan McWhorter @rmcwhorter99]

give me six hours to chop down a tree and i will spend the first four figuring out how to give to axe to claude

We found 42,000 accounts automating replies using chatbots and have removed them from the platform.

X's core value is providing an authentic pulse on humanity -- and using AI to programmatically engage with users without a human in the loop runs counter to our mission.

Those last 30 seconds really hit me. Amazing.

Success needs to be defined and metrics to achieve it are the logical byproduct. It seems like there needs to be more clarity defining “success” in AI marketing.

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

Amongst my friends, Spotify is the lowest quality consumer app we still pay for. It certainly hasnt gotten noticeably better in the last couple years (arguably worse). So, this is not the positive look Ant and Spotify are spinning here.

Bigger picture, this is the problem with a lot of AI reporting. It reports completely meaningless metrics like deploys per day or LoC. Why don’t we start reporting consumer satisfaction reports? Actually end state research results.

All the no nuance AI people always come out and think that this is anti AI. Again, I think AI is great and Claude is great. But this is bad marketing and makes both look like clowns.

[Tim Ferriss @tferriss]

Ninety-nine percent of people in the world are convinced they are incapable of achieving great things, so they aim for the mediocre.

The level of competition is thus fiercest for “realistic” goals, paradoxically making them the most time- and energy-consuming.

If you are insecure, guess what? The rest of the world is, too.

Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think.

Unreasonable and unrealistic goals are easier to achieve for yet another reason.

Having an unusually large goal is an adrenaline infusion that provides the endurance to overcome the inevitable trials and tribulations that go along with any goal. Realistic goals, goals restricted to the average ambition level, are uninspiring and will only fuel you through the first or second problem, at which point you throw in the towel.

If the potential payoff is mediocre or average, so is your effort.

The fishing is best where the fewest go, and the collective insecurity of the world makes it easy for people to hit home runs while everyone else is aiming for base hits.

There is just less competition for bigger goals.

@steipete @ATT Have you tried asking @grok ?

[Stephen @codeplanter]

$MU and $SNDK really earning their keep.

[Stephen @codeplanter]

@steipete Ideal way to digest X on very busy days. Great work. @nikitabier would it be possible to get a feature like this for the for you and topic specific feeds? I know it would take away from engagement time/ad revenue, would putting it in a subscription plan make up for that?

[Stephen @codeplanter]

Life felt more slow-paced back then, in a good way.

[The Golden One @TheGloriousLion]

Little Bear is great. I can highly recommend it if you have children.

• Calm, slow scenes (not ADHD cutting between scenes).
• Wholesome setting (mother, father, child). Little Bear is gentle, well-adjusted, and respectful to his parents. Mother Bear is motherly and caring. Father Bear is a classical father (not the “silly dad” that you often see nowadays).
• Not overly saturated colours.
• Nice, calm music.

Claude - "Fable 5's safety measures flagged this message for cybersecurity or biology topics. They may flag safe, normal content as well. These measures let us bring you Mythos-level capability in other areas sooner, and we're working to refine them. Switched to Opus 4.8."

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

JUST IN: Claude Fable 5 will redirect “high risk” prompts to Opus 4.8.
