This is nuts

Do you realize that DeepSeek is now treated much more kindly by the United States government than anthropic? Dramatically so

This is pretty great

Just walked in the front door after work.

My 5 year old son ran to greet me.

"Hi dad!" he said excitedly.

As he went to hug me, I grabbed his shoulders and said, "Bud, I think you're overestimating the value of human relationships. I read that in a Substack today. Everything is different now. I mean - it was different before, but it's super different now."

He blinked, clutching a plastic dinosaur. I couldn't believe it. Attachment to physical objects in a post-digital era. I gently rotated him toward the hallway mirror.

“Look,” I continued, “do you see that reflection? That’s legacy hardware. Carbon-based. High latency. Limited processing power."

As I kicked off my shoes, my 3 year old daughter came running up to me with a drawing she made in preschool this morning.

She was glowing. Beaming.

“Look, Daddy! I made this for you!”

I glanced at it and explained that Nano Banana one-shotted her entire effort. Her job prospects were hopeless if she didn't understand this.

“Sweetie,” I said gently, kneeling down, “this crayon sun? It’s 2022. Nano Banana can generate 100,000 emotionally resonant suns before you finish saying ‘primary colors.’ You need API access.”

She asked what an API was.

“Exactly,” I said, standing up.

The crying started around then. Very emotional household. Understandable. They hadn't read *the essay.*

My wife heard the children crying in the foyer and came to check on us.

"I don't understand what's happening here, but why don't we sit down for dinner and talk about this?" she asked. "I made chicken pot pies!"

“Dinner? Your contribution to a world where Amex and Mastercard are heading to zero by 2028 is DINNER?!”

I started laughing.

“Uh yeah…” I explained: “Cooking is a pre-Claude activity. Do you realize I can vibecode a functional DoorDash competitor in about 8 minutes now? It's all right there in the Substack.”

As the kids continued sobbing, my wife looked at me in disbelief.

“Okay, okay. Maybe it would take me 15 minutes to spin up a functional Doordash competitor,” I conceded. “Payments integration can be annoying.”

She asked if I was feeling alright.

“Better than alright,” I said. “I’ve seen the roadmap. I've read the Substack.”

I gestured broadly at the house: “This? This is a future data center. The hugs? Deprecated. The drawings? Automatable. The chicken pot pies? Disrupted.”

My wife folded her arms. “You used to like chicken pot pies.”

“That was before I could prompt at a few hundred words per minute,” I said.

Andrew Ng says the concept of AGI has become meaningless because everyone defines it differently

The original definition was AI that could do any intellectual task a person can — essentially, AI as intelligent as humans

"by that measure, we're decades away"

@chriskilika Holy cow, that is impressive!

[Jeff Schulz @jws2524]

This made me laugh.

“As the pandemic progressed, students’ doubts about the value of a college degree have increased. Almost two-thirds (65%) now believe that higher education is not worth the cost anymore, an increase from 57% in December and 49% in August.” https://t.co/G62282sbWJ

This is the most amazing dad shit I’ve ever seen. Dude let the baby go, caught the ball, recovered the baby mid air, only spilled a drop of beer and the baby didn’t drop the bottle.
Legendary!

[Bellwether @bellwetherorg]

The latest from @NickKristof features research from Bellwether on kids missing from school due to the pandemic.

“Yes, there’s uncertainty. Sure, there are trade-offs. But serving kids in schools should be a higher priority than serving drinks in bars...”

Good, science-based take. “Kids can die from the disease, but the risk of that happening is one in a million; they are about 10 times as likely to die by suicide.” https://t.co/ckCIGkTOLF

At this point, finding a public health expert who opposes in-person learning is like finding a scientist who doesn't believe in climate change.

A single-shot J&J Janssen COVID19 vaccine phase 3 results summarized in one table. Great news! Imagine being 💯 protected from death 28 days after a single shot, and 💯 protected from severe disease after 49 days - against all variants.

“Investing in growing an entirely new sector of public schools that disrupt incumbent players without also investing in an enormous political strategy to support that is like building a really expensive house and then not bothering to insure it.”

[Andrew Rotherham @arotherham]

Objectively, it's surprising charter schools face so much political risk. One reason why might be the elite style of politics.

students with disabilities *need* to go back to school. but if in-person instruction isn't an option, schools should:
- work with parents to modify IEPs
- leverage tech to extend impact and efficiency of services
- rethink instructional delivery
