Our regulators have lost the plot. Literally, figuratively, and metaphorically.

it’s in gemini, just create it in ai studio. oh, that’s for your personal google one account. for workspace you need gemini business. no, not gemini advanced, that’s ai pro now. unless you need ai ultra. oh agents? you do that in spark actually. no, not gemini api managed agents, that’s different. for coding use jules. unless you mean the agentic ide, that’s antigravity. no, that’s the old antigravity, download the new one. actually gemini cli is being deprecated, use antigravity cli. no the flash model is smarter than the pro model. unless you need pro. if it’s video, use flow. no, flow uses veo. no, nano banana is images. actually that’s in gemini now. unless you’re in search, then it’s ai mode. no, research is notebooklm. anyway it’s all very simple.

@RogersHelps I am trying to transfer my business internet from my old office to my new office. Unfortunately, every time I call they tell me my location doesn't have service. They quoted me $999,000 to run a line to my new address. Funny thing is, my new office already has rogers infrastructure installed. Other units in my building also already have Rogers services. I seem to have hit this customer service wall. Does anyone have any contacts for someone at Rogers who can actually help me?

If I hit this dictation button after sending a text and it beeps and stops my music one more time,

I’m gonna find everyone at apple and put them in a rear naked choke hold

Even if I turn off dictation I somehow hit the voice note thing

The send button should not have multiple functions in the same spot

If any payment comes to me, please send it back to Anthropic with my thanks for including my books in their AIs. 

The judgement website offers a way to opt out of the payment, but I found it cumbersome, so I didn’t.  (I’m principled but too lazy to be highly principled.)

[Stewart Brand @stewartbrand]

So, there’s a $1.5 billion judgement against Anthropic for including 480,000 books in training their AIs. Five of my books are among them. Word is, there might be $1,500 payout per book, according to my agent Max Brockman.

I wrote him the following:

Economic growth is literally everything. People fondly remember the times of high GDP growth and treat the ones with low growth as the dark ages. Growth means positive sum thinking becomes the optimal strategy and this is the bedrock of civic society.

We must build more companies and export products to make Canada better. No other mechanism exists. The schools are obscuring this fact and media often distorts it. Kudos to the Globe for getting it right here. Nature is healing?

How long until every brand has this type of search and buying experience?

Shopify merchants will be able to sell directly in ChatGPT.

We’ve been working with @OpenAI for quite some time so people can search and buy products in chat, and it’s something we’ve had a hard time keeping quiet.

Rollout is coming very very soon.

Here’s what the sounds meant.

[Ryan Petersen @typesfast]

Soon we may find ourselves in a bullwhip scenario where Trump relaxes the tariffs, all those cancelled orders get rebooked creating a huge surge. And with all the cancelled services and repositioned vessels, there won’t be enough throughput in the ocean network to keep up.

[Ryan Petersen @typesfast]

Thousands, and then millions, of American small businesses, including many iconic brands, will go bankrupt this year if the tariff policies on China don’t change.

Resist censorship.

Resist lawfare.

Resist disarmament.

Everything else is downstream.

It surely must be tempting for Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta and Apple to simply say "we're exiting your dumb market" and turn off every computer in Europe.

This is a big moment for the Silicon Valley people who moved (or moved their biz) to Texas, like @elonmusk, if they oppose the new abortion law.

Gov today hyped biz migration to TX. It's his defense shield. This means these people have outsized power to pressure for reversal.
