I like to think of the Prospect Park Loop as a sort of transportation version of the Stanford Prison Experiment, in which cyclists finally have the same powers as their tormentors — cars — and behave exactly like them in every way.

@Noahpinion Any enacted policies of his admin so far that you take issue with? I’ve gone from weakly pessimistic to weakly optimistic since he’s taken office (and I live in NYC).

@btal @altina Congrats, Tal! Exciting times

[Tal Bar-Or @btal]

After two years of building quietly, I’m excited to share what I’ve been working on: a new kind of hearing eyewear, made for conversation.

At @altina, we’re designing eyeglasses with AI-powered hearing enhancement to help people stay engaged, even in noisy environments.

We’re collaborating with the British eyewear brand Cubitts, one of London’s most respected eyewear makers.

@krispuckett Strongly agree with this. I was left wondering who would ever want to work at a company that operated as described

@dadiomov Stroll down Smith or Court st for good coffee, food & shops, check out Tortelli for pasta, Books are Magic, and Brooklyn Magic Shop. Walk Brooklyn Bridge Park. Catch a show at Lunatico.

@lay2000lbs Claude isn't even good at picking restaurants in Manhattan relative to GPT. The fact that this use case is much more popular/valuable for most users is all the reason OpenAI should need not to pivot into enterprise. They're training the leisure brain, Anthropic the work brain.

@tszzl @aidan_mclau Isn’t it clearly true that parts of many jobs are not bottlenecked by tokens spent, e.g. those that involve talking to a customer? Will burning 100m tokens to prepare for my sales meeting make it go 10x better than the counterfactual where I burn 10m?

When I enter any REI there is at least a 50% chance another customer will walk up to me with a gear question thinking I work there

@davidshor I’m curious if you’ve looked at how other outcomes like education, health, and economic well being differ between Israeli Jews and Israeli Muslims, as well as between Israeli Muslims and Muslims in neighboring countries?

@tszzl @antoniogm which big business model rightfully feels most threatened by OpenAI Advertising? Google Search Ads. what ads product should OpenAI build? A new take on the same kind of product, native to the AI experience.

@patrickc @Vernon3Austin This is a great insight.

@WillManidis What if what we are seeing is not the use of a tool shaped object, but a broadly distributed search for a tool’s useful purpose? WebVan wasn’t a tool shaped object. It was a tool that turned out to be broken. Better tools came in its stead once we figured that out

being the MAG7 company with the greatest Pentagon exposure, MSFT stock falls on the news that the US will not use force to take Greenland

I've just written about my very intense relationship with my father and how running helped me both connect with him and avoid becoming him.

It's also my first article ever for @TheAtlantic . My dad wrote for the magazine in 1967, and i t seems fitting that the first piece published here from my family in 58 years is about him.

almost 2/3 of Americans do not want this bill. it is obviously a fiscal and strategic fiasco. why are we doing it?

@Noahpinion It looks like Ukraine domestically manufactures them, but likely uses components made in china https://t.co/MDn6Z4KoSZ

@elaifresh have you gone to the doctor?
