Anyone else having buggy Tesla app response for remote control of windows, charging, etc.? Been super buggy for me over past three months...

Watching final 49ers game this season. Wondering as Moody misses another field goal if he has photos or dirt on management. His worst-in-football record is now a statement on leadership more than on his broken will. Failure to replace has cost 49ers momentum, games & confidence.

Been a minute since I’ve posted or even visited Twitter—which is to say the platform I joined, loved, contributed to and received so much in return from. Not X. I’m giving BlueSky a shot if you want to connect there. https://t.co/WWZbKMxFa3

@billmaher Real talk: our college and TikTok educated kids and their friends on the algorithmic diet of anti-USA media are becoming disenchanted at best or apathetic at worst. The SM diet is a perfect way to inspire abandoning the hope/will to make it better, suppress voting, etc.

The problem isn’t that America isn’t worth defending. The problem is that you’re an arrogant, entitled whiner who has no idea how good you have it.

openai now generates about 100 billion words per day.

all people on earth generate about 100 trillion words per day.

[Jeremiah Owyang @jowyang]

Prediction: Sam Altman will get his 5
$7 trillion, in big part by the United States government and allies, in order to ensure the West achieves AGI before other regions.

Whoever achieves AGI first rules the world. It is likely the last invention humans ever create. Have a great Friday.

Peak startups? Contrarian view: costs less to start & become viable plus new platforms driving down barriers for dev, design & GTM.

Haters gonna hate, and Founders’s gonna found. Founders will find alt sources of funding and best will rise to the obvious for venture funding.

🚀 62% of US R&D and 48% of patents by value
💲 41% of US market cap
😱 92% of R&D and 93% of patents by value in the post-ERISA era
