Dear SNL, your guest promo commercials for your upcoming shows have been inside jokes that have not landed for over 2 decades.

It sure would be nice to see, hear & feel some optimism and positivity online in 2026. Where is it? Does it even exist?

It is tragic that humanity allowed politics to take over every form of content on Earth. Just take a step back with me for a second and let’s look at what politics has infiltrated: All Education, Healthcare, Film, TV, All Podcasts, Sports, Families, All Media, AI & LLMs, Finance, All Social Media, Life Decisions, Art, Tech, Recreation, Food & Restaurants, All Retail & Consumer Goods, Transportation & Storage, Energy, Law, Tourism, Advertising, and so much more.

We can do better as a society.
Something has to be done about this. There aren’t any viable off ramps to healthier forms of content. They simply do not exist. I’m going to do something about it. People need help.

$META has acquired Moltbook, a viral social network built for AI agents.

Co-founders Matt Schlicht and Ben Parr will join Meta Superintelligence Labs with the deal expected to close in mid-March.

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

Very soon there are going to be more AI agents than humans making transactions.

They can’t open a bank account, but they can own a crypto wallet. Think about it.

[Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 @pmarca]

My information consumption is now 1/4 X, 1/4 podcast interviews of the smartest practitioners, 1/4 talking to the leading AI models, and 1/4 reading old books. The opportunity cost of anything else is far too high, and rising daily.
