Every time I pass the @AmericanAir gates in Cle, I remember how they stole my bags during my first business trip of the year and did absolutely nothing to help. I’ll really use those 50 “free” miles they gave me to make up for all my clothes, toiletries, hair styling tools etc
LEAKED AUDIO FROM META ALL-HANDS AHEAD OF LAYOFFS TOMORROW
Mark Zuckerberg, in his own words, told Meta employees their devices are being tracked to train AI models.
His reasoning? Meta employees are smarter than the contract workers the rest of the industry uses for data labeling. So instead of hiring outside help, Meta is turning its own workforce into training data.
"The average intelligence of the people who are at this company is significantly higher than the average set of people that you can get to do tasks if you're working through these contractors."
He wants the AI to learn how "really smart people use computers" by watching employees work. He says the content is "stripped out" and none of it is used for surveillance or performance tracking.
Then he admitted the rollout was botched but said Meta intentionally kept employees in the dark because leaking competitive AI strategy would help rivals.
"It is not strategically in your interest for us to communicate everything in all the detail that we normally would on this."
Translation: We're watching you, we told you as little as possible, and we did it on purpose.
AI is replacing the contractor. Then the employee trains the AI. Then the AI replaces the employee.
This story and this company keeps getting weirder.
the engineer who built Claude Code just dropped a 28-minute video on how to write prompts that actually work
I've seen $300 courses that don't cover what he shows in the first 10 minutes
CLAUDE.md files, memory shortcuts, parallel sessions, prompting patterns
all in one video and completely free
works whether you're a developer, a beginner, or someone who's been using Claude for months
based on this, I put together 18 things you can copy and use in Claude today
full guide in the article below
I’m begging @RepThomasMassie to go on the House floor asap & read all of the names in the #EpsteinFiles - you were a hero for survivors - you believed them & fought for them. Your actions were brave & heroic. Now pls blow the whole thing wide open. Thank you.
NEW: The NYT sent an email to freelancers today forbidding contributors from submitting "any material for publication that contains content generated, modified or enhanced" by generative AI.
The "reminder" follows a string of AI incidents at the paper:

Bob was one of a kind. So sad to hear the news. Not only did he have a great voice and was a pro’s pro behind the mic, he was a really good guy with such a strong faith. He will certainly be missed.
RIP, Bob 🙏
