Xi Yin just left Harvard for OpenAI.

String theorist. Youngest full professor in Harvard history.

His words: "AI gives me 100x speedup. Weeks of output would take me 10 years."

Then: "I don't believe there's any human intellectual ability AI cannot replicate."

The man who said that is the one who would know.

Or stepping into an experience people in Singapore have experienced for years.

[StripMallGuy @realEstateTrent]

I flew out of Newark Airport this morning and experienced something that is obviously going to become standard everywhere within the next few years.

There was no TSA agent checking IDs. No pulling anything out of my pocket.

I walked up to this new machine, it scanned my face, the gate opened, and I kept walking.

There was no line because the process moved so fast.

It felt like stepping a few years into the future, and it was awesome!

I think that means we need eight hours of sleep per night.

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

You may have noticed that the word for ‘night’ in many languages appears to be that language’s word for ‘eight’ with an ‘N' in front of it.

English: N + eight = Night
German: N + acht = Nacht
French: N + huit = Nuit
Spanish: N + ocho = Noche
Italian: N + otto = Notte
Portuguese: N + oito = Noite

Japan: We deeply apologize for 3 min of delay.

NYC MTA: The train showed up before next Tuesday, and the mysterious brown fluid only flooded half of the car. What more do you want?

[BSAT Properties @BSAT_Properties]

I was on a train in Tokyo. We stopped between stations. Announcement in Japanese, then in English: "We apologize for the delay. We will resume shortly."

The delay was maybe 3 minutes. Not a big deal.

When the train started moving again, another announcement: "We sincerely apologize for the delay. We were stopped for 3 minutes and 20 seconds. This is unacceptable. Thank you for your patience."

Three minutes and twenty seconds. They measured it exactly. And called it unacceptable.

When I got off at my stop, there were station staff on the platform bowing and handing out delay certificates.

I took one out of curiosity. It was an official document stating that the train had been delayed by 3 minutes and 20 seconds, signed and stamped.

The staff member said in English "for your employer. So they know the delay was not your fault."

I said I'm a tourist, I don't need it. He looked confused. "But the delay affected you. You deserve an apology."

Three minutes. They were treating a three-minute delay like a major incident.

Later I mentioned this to a Japanese friend. They said "oh yes, delay certificates are normal. Trains are supposed to be exactly on time. If they are late, they must apologize."

I said three minutes isn't late, it's nothing. My friend said "in Japan, three minutes is late. On time means on time. Not approximately on time."

They said the train company probably investigated why there was a 3-minute delay. "They will find the cause and fix it so it doesn't happen again."

I kept the certificate. It's framed in my apartment now. A reminder that somewhere in the world, people care about three minutes.

@kevinakwok Years of leadership in big tech trains me well for this.

[Danqing Wang @danqing]

What’s wild about it is the new Friendster has zero connection to the OG Friendster, no legacy accounts, no graph, nothing. Respect to anyone trying to build a social network from scratch in 2026, but my 5 cents says this thing is DOA.

So… can I still use Manus at work or are we back to suffering? It was the fastest way to make decks for meetings that should have been emails that ran late and solved nothing.

The aunties are your matchmakers, not your dates.

But good luck. A Singaporean aunty will track your location, audit your bank account, and find you a wife, but only after she spends three hours making you stand in line to save $0.50 on a plate of chicken rice.

[OK Then @okaythenfuture]

Passport bros are on the edge of an unimaginable victory,

Singapore’s Government is promoting a tourism campaign in America encouraging American men to come to Singapore to date Singaporean aunties.

This is unexpected, but this may be the greatest opportunity of your life for some of you.

The patent for AI-simulated user activity could naturally extend to the deceased, but claiming it's built for the deceased is sensationalizing.

FWIW, the tech sounds remarkably similar to @simile_ai. I’m curious to see how their performances compare.

[unusual_whales @unusual_whales]

Meta, $META, has obtained a patent for an AI system that could simulate deceased users by analyzing their historical data, allowing the account to keep posting, messaging, and even making video calls in their behavioral style.
