Abdul El-Sayed: “We don’t live in capitalism. We live in corporate socialism. If you’re a corporation, you can buy a politician to get that politician to rig the system for you so you make more money and you ex out every other market in which you compete. You need good healthcare. You need a good education. We need childcare. We need good roads and bridges. We don’t need to send our money to big corporations to subsidize them, we need to be invested in people so they have the human capital to be able to do all the things as they graduate and come out”

@AndrewYang I have found it to be a force multiplier for me and the team I am on (devops engineer), I have not really seen data to support any mass layoffs, not discounting that it could happen, but at the company I work at we have added a bunch of CS interns working on AI software dev.

Anthropic just dropped a full 2-hour training on building Claude agents from scratch.

And it’s taught by one of the engineers behind Claude Code.

Save this before it gets buried 🔖

It walks through the entire system:

• designing agents that can manage tasks on their own
• giving them terminal access to execute, inspect, and fix
• using the file system as long-term memory
• reducing hallucinations with Hooks
• running agents across large codebases without creating chaos

By the end, you’ll understand how to use Claude far beyond simple prompting, and turn that skill into something valuable.

Beginner or advanced, this covers the full workflow in one place.

Honestly, it’s more useful than most $500 AI courses online.

Everyone asks if Atlas can bring them a drink, but this robot can bring you the whole fridge. Using AI-driven behaviors, Atlas is doing hard work and coordinating its whole body to manage heavy objects, balancing complex contact points with accuracy and reliability.

@scottsantens @RBReich love the idea. most people better off except high earners. seems like an easy swap, according to gemini it would add ~1 trillion in revenue, but given the defense budget is over that now, seems like we could borrow from that to help cover the cost.

@JustinWolfers i liked your "economy is like a pot luck dinner" analogy. Very fitting :)

[Scott Santens @scottsantens]

We don’t have a shortage of resources. We have a distribution problem. Universal Basic Income isn’t just about poverty—it’s about giving all citizens a dividend on the collective progress of our society that's grown over generations. It’s time we all get a % share of the economy.

[Scott Santens @scottsantens]

The Cook County, IL budget for 2026 that just passed sets aside $7.5 million per year from the county budget for a permanent guaranteed basic income program, making it the largest permanent county-level GBI program in the US. No details yet on design, just the funding.

GD gave $550 to every adult in the Khongoni subdistrict of Malawi, reaching over 85k people. It was enough outside money to 2x local GDP. Extreme poverty plummeted by 88%. Inflation was negligible.

Now they're going even bigger by giving $550 to 185k people - an entire district.

@adcock_brett Very cool tech. I am curious how your robots will handle outdoor conditions. Like if they were helping on a farm. Would weather be an issue?

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

BIG MISTAKE BY DOZY DON!!!!! SPACE COMMAND BELONGS IN SAN FRANCISCO, NOT ALABAMA (A TOTAL DISASTER OF A STATE). EVERYONE KNOWS SAN FRANCISCO IS THE FUTURE HOME OF "STAR FLEET ACADEMY" ("LIVE LONG AND PROSPER"). THAT’S BECAUSE CALIFORNIA IS #1 FOR AEROSPACE, #1 FOR TECHNOLOGY, #1 FOR AI (ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, VERY SMART PEOPLE, MUCH SMARTER THAN JD “JUST DANCE” VANCE, WHO HAS LOW IQ). SAN FRANCISCO IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD FOR ENGINEERING AND INNOVATION... ROCKETS, SOFTWARE, "THE STARTUPS.” ALABAMA’S GOVERNOR “KRAZY” KAY HAS NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON. JUST LIKE LITTLE HANDS, SHE IS SLOW AND BURPS A LOT. SHE HAS DONE NOTHING FOR HER PEOPLE AND MADE THE STATE VERY UNSAFE!!! A MURDER RATE 190% HIGHER THAN CALIFORNIA’S. "SPACE COMMAND" MUST BE HERE IN CALIFORNIA, THE GREATEST STATE IN AMERICA, WITH ME, THE YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL GOVERNOR GAVIN C. NEWSOM. THE SLEEPY GOLFER IN THE WHITE HOUSE DIDN’T MOVE IT HERE. HE HAS NEWSOM DERANGEMENT SYNDROME (NDS). SAD!!! — GCN

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

Actually, the cities with the highest murder rates in America are all in Republican led states, yet Trump isn’t sending the National Guard into these cities:

1) Jackson, Mississippi - ~77.2 per 100K
2) Birmingham, Alabama - ~59 per 100K
3) St. Louis, Missouri - ~40 per 100K
4) Memphis, Tennessee - ~40 per 100K
5) New Orleans, Louisiana - ~40-50 per 100K

The murder rate in Chicago is ~21.4 per 100K. Los Angeles is ~8.4 per 100K.

It's all political theater.
