If you’re inclined to dig a layer deeper than the surface “next word predictor” descriptions of Generative AI, this is an excellent read for those who want to know more. https://t.co/5miXQuNXK4

It is mind blowing how big these ships are. However, the Captain blew horn at me as I took a photo and waved at him. Thanks, Captain! ❤️ #pavoLeader

All because Ellison wanted to close a deal. A treasure gone. #thelateshow #stephencolbert #classact

Watching the Architecture Digest YouTube going thru the Late Show set on the Ed Sullivan Theatre. Colbert & team gave it so much respect. Shame he got cancelled - full stop.

So: How many months are we away from a mechanical robot operating as an avatar for a mainstream LLM? Counting from 1 May 2026.

@yankeedraft 7.
1, 3 & 4 will be miserable as Trump spends 10 hours hassling Kamala. 1 & 2 are also toilet-adjacent. 5, 6, 8, 9 & 10 are middle seats, next to celebs who will keep to themselves with no meaningful conversations. Plus, I’m an aisle guy.

Please @whignewtons and @DavidAFrench - please recommend 2 books (each) as choices for a book club about the US founding / founders & legal system, as a set to choose from for the USA 250th.

@Brick_Suit @the_culturist_ Better. But still unnecessary?

[Jay Batson @jab]

@the_culturist_ It’s not the USA. Our major sites memorialize things that history has decided were positive people, or meaningful moments. This is nothing but jealousy of Paris. Stop it.

@buzsokk Thing is, the illusions don’t look like that from the side of the pedestrian…. #staged

[Jay Batson @jab]

@nikunj Similar thing can be said about calendaring / scheduling - something that sounds simple until you start to see how deeply complex it is.

I’m not sure @bariweiss would be happy to be included as a MAGA megaphone… Nonetheless, interesting. https://t.co/mItWU2t1qy #axiosam

When doing AI-assisted coding, it's tempting to ask the AI to do more within a single prompt thread, since it has context. But soon, all that context starts to interfere with good AI thinking. Still trying to find the right amount of stuff to have in a single thread.

@WizLikeWizard Best post I’ve seen in a while. I regularly say this to startups I advise. Too-few listen, I’m afraid.

As usual, @dries has wise words that should be heeded by the #EU https://t.co/T4Lv3rktFF

@Tiana_Celine_23 As much as Rita is amazing, and kudos to anyone willing to dance next to him, watch this again and defocus your eyes a bit; take in the two. Astaire is just more fluid, expansive & expressive. #legend

@0xwhrrari @grok analyze for truth vs viral sensationalism

[Jay Batson @jab]

I read a lot of advance review copies of books. Publishers should be judged by editorial quality. Famous authors rarely get pushback from developmental editors (but should), and many books lack strong line and copy editing. Sloppy proofreading in ARCs is the clearest quality tell

Unless I’m missing something, #Safari on #apple #iOS 26.3.1 is leading to unaware tab proliferation leading to slowdowns. Closing a tab now takes 3 taps, and is buried/non-obvious. Friends cite phone slowdown; checking tabs shows many 10s open, likely using resources.

How have I been a Christian for all of my life, and not really truly appreciated this distinction? This is an awesome article. https://t.co/1CTYuwLTKb

Yes. https://t.co/CkDwC5LPV4 via @NYTOpinion
