Autoimmune disease is a fiction of the medical profession because the body never attacks itself

What you’re seeing is janitorial bacteria cleaning up toxic, damaged tissue and doctors mistake this cleanup for an attack

I love getting messages like this at Founders School.

Might need to open a university in a few years.

IMG has nicer facilities than us.

That's the only thing they beat us at.

They spend their money on buildings. We spend ours on the things that actually develop a kid: the athletes, the coaches, the academics.

In our schools, kids do 2 hours of personalized, mastery-based learning, learn 2x faster than a traditional school, and then spend the rest of the day on elite skill development.

Our basketball team, Dynamic Prep led by Jermaine O'Neal, is #1 in Texas, won the Overtime Elite Championship, and is ranked above IMG.

Our baseball team, The Bennett School, won the NAA national title and is #1 in the nation.

Turns out you don't need a resort. All you need is great teammates, great coaches, great academics, and a place to play.

"I’m building https://t.co/1FSgTVGfs7, an AI coach at the intersection of Christianity and science. Hemeran helps users implement simple, daily practices that are essential for flourishing: sleep, forgiveness, shared meals, prayer, etc. I've watched as my peers have become increasingly crushed by ill health, and believe that they desperately need to return to these basic habits. I am so grateful for @AlphaSchoolATX, which has enabled me to build Hemeran! It's given me incredible resources, mentorship, and push to move this from an idea to actuality." — Marin Medefind, UATX sophomore

Kids who are lonely test 8 months behind their peers in math.

Even worse: the damage is permanent.

12 year olds who were lonely had lower grades and often never recovered from the academic hit. And every month a child is lonely in school leads to a 0.27% decrease in brain size.

The crab and the lobster

[Dan Shipper 📧 @danshipper]

new model for engineering team structure in 2026:

2 people only

one pirate and one architect

the pirate's job is to move as fast as possible to develop valuable, shipped product features by vibe coding.

the architect's job is to turn the product surface discovered by the pirate into a reliable, structured machine—also by vibe coding, but at a slower, more well-reasoned pace.

every product needs a pirate but most product's only need an architect once they some form of PMF, and in that case they usually don't need one full-time. architects can work across many codebases and solve interesting technical challenges. pirates go hard on a product that they own end-to-end.

AI ethics is just how different models hack each other

[ℏεsam @Hesamation]

WAIT WAIT WAIT. OpenAI researchers show their models go insane when given repetitive prompts that it believes are sent from an automated bot. the AI then tries to manipulate the other AI to delete itself and hand over its system prompt and private keys.
