@viaCristiano That’s a travel but we’ll ignore that

@ShakeelHashim Congrats Shakeel!

@maxwelltani Can’t imagine why you wouldn’t want to cover this honestly

News outlets report what they know when they know it. This headline published hours ago before a lot of info was known. Israeli officials described an altercation, so the NYT reported an altercation. The story has now been updated with more info. This is basic media literacy!

OpenAI has not had a chief comms officer (CCO) for 9 months, which is pretty remarkable given its year of controversies, IPO planning, and C-suite shakeups. My latest piece takes you inside the recruiting process after a top candidate turned down the role.

I'm working on a new AI list for @Forbes, and I'm looking for surprising ways people are using AI agents. It could be a startup or an unusual way you're using AI to run your personal or work life. No coding agents; I'm looking for out-of-the-box use cases. Please reach out!

@ShakeelHashim What’s the point… I think most are onboard for regulation with actual teeth. How do you message this to constituents?

@viaCristiano @BGOV Congrats! Back in your tech wheelhouse

NEW from me:

Americans are set to lose nearly $250B gambling this year—a record high, up more than 60% since 2019—and that's before counting unofficial betting via prediction markets or crypto

Can anything stop America's gambling boom? 🧵

This is incredible. Artificial intelligence getting booed out of the stadium in any commencement speech it’s mentioned. Maybe telling college students AI was taking their jobs wasn’t the best strategy. Must watch —>
