@RachelSTWood What did you do?

@ThePosieParker This guy arguing is an idiot. The fact he can’t slow down long enough to think about this is why he will never win

This low posting is the wrong way to look at it. If you are looking at averages and his is true but this is not how the algo works now. #socialmediaweek .

[Matt Hixson @matthixson]

How are you understanding social conversation at scale? To drive attention you have to understand and plug into community since followers are less important. Anyone need help here? #SocialMediaWeek

Well Oregon just killed QSBS for startups. Thanks @TinaKotek. I love this state for many reasons but it is one of the worst run states in the country. It’s just embarrassing.

She wants her council to work on a fix but there is not a single startup on the council. Oops. If I achieve what we hope at Tellagence this decision could cost me millions. For what? To go back to a state government that will mismanage it.

Unfortunately Oregon is a state with a few very condensed centers of population. Which means they control election outcomes in our state. Those centers have very specific views and the bubble they live in, keep us in this cycle. They just can’t get out of their own way.

Oregon needs help. Unfortunately I think things have to continue to get worse before people wake up and realize they may need to make different choices.

This is a state that doesn’t have a robust startup community, so why pick on it? You just feel like crushing it?! We don’t have many large companies because this is an expensive state to build a business. Historically companies like Nike and Intel were shining stars but both are at extremely low points right now.

I guess now I need to add a call to my lawyers to talk about options. So frustrated with our leadership.

This is from a book called The Goal. Everyone should read it.

[Ian Miles Cheong @ianmiles]

Marc Andreessen explains the "Elon Method" of leadership, and it completely contradicts how most CEOs operate today.

Most leaders get bogged down trying to manage every single moving part of their business. But according to Andreessen, Elon's approach is actually the exact opposite: he delegates almost everything. He isn't involved in 99% of what his companies are doing on a daily basis.

Instead, his entire focus is hunting for one specific thing: The Bottleneck.

In any manufacturing chain, there is always a bottleneck keeping the line from running the way it's supposed to. It could be a lack of raw materials at the beginning, or a shortage of warehouse space at the end. Whatever it is, that bottleneck is holding everything up. Job number one is to remove it and get things flowing again.

Elon has universalized this concept. He looks at every company like it's a conceptual assembly line—sometimes a literal one making cars and rockets. He knows that on any given week, there is guaranteed to be one main bottleneck holding his people back.

So, what’s the secret to his management paradox? He relentlessly micromanages the solution to that one specific problem. He doesn't need to manage everything else because, by definition, the rest of the company is running better than the bottleneck. Once it's fixed, he moves on to the next biggest problem.

But here is the part where most non-technical CEOs would completely fail trying to replicate this method:

When Elon identifies the bottleneck, he has zero patience for bureaucracy. He doesn't ask the VP of Engineering to ask the Director to ask the Manager to ask the individual contributor to write a report to be reviewed in three weeks. He would throw that entire chain of command out the window.

Instead, he bypasses the middleman completely. He goes straight to the manufacturing line or the software group, personally finds the exact line engineer who actually understands the technical nature of the bottleneck, sits in a room with them, and fixes the problem together.

GB News’ Alex Armstrong laid out the geopolitical map that American media refuses to draw: this war isn’t about toppling Iran. It’s about 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 — and America is winning on every front.

Start with oil. The Strait of Hormuz carries 𝟒𝟓% 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐚’𝐬 𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲. Trump effectively captured Venezuela’s oil supply in January. As Armstrong put it: “𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘸𝘩𝘰’𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘴𝘶𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯. 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘷𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘪𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘢 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘴.” China is in the middle of a tariff negotiation with Trump — and suddenly its entire energy supply depends on American goodwill.

Then Europe. With Russian energy off the table and domestic energy hollowed out by the “𝘭𝘦𝘧𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘯𝘦𝘵 𝘻𝘦𝘳𝘰,” Europe is becoming 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐚𝐬. Armstrong: “𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘢𝘴 𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘨𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘰𝘰.”

Armstrong connected the dots to what the Pentagon calls 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚 — Greenland through the Panama Canal, the entire Western Hemisphere secured as a self-sufficient American economic and security zone. “𝘕𝘰 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘭𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘯𝘰 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴, 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘥, 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦-𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘰𝘯. 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢.”

The most striking part was his warning for Britain: “𝘞𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘰 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺. 𝘞𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 60% 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘥. 𝘞𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘫𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘺. 𝘖𝘶𝘳 𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥.” He described Britain heading toward 𝐚 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝟏,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 as America withdraws from its traditional role.

When a foreign ally’s own news anchors are publicly acknowledging that Trump’s strategy is working — even as it leaves them behind — that tells you everything about who has the leverage.

For most tasks, you don't need millions. We have built this at Tellagence. It's called context localization. We get extremely accurate outcomes consistently by providing only the needed context based on the question.

[Haider. @haider1]

Google Jeff Dean says bigger context windows alone are not enough

What matters is staged retrieval: lightweight mechanisms that narrow a trillion tokens down to 10 million, then to the million you actually need

"you don't need a trillion at once, you need the right million"

You also can’t solve multi-dimensional global crises with an LLM.

[Dustin @r0ck3t23]

Former Google X Chief Business Officer Mo Gawdat just dismantled the mainstream fear of AI handover.

The market is completely paralyzed by the idea of losing control.

But losing control is the entire point.

Gawdat: “We’re going to go through a couple of waves. A wave where AI is learning from us and being ordered by us. And then a wave where AI has learned and is no longer following the orders but running the show.”

We’re currently in the training phase.

Actively feeding the compute engine the physics of our world.

But the training phase is temporary.

Gawdat: “Most people in the mainstream media will use that as a terminator future where AI is going to be in control.”

You don’t build superintelligence just to keep it subservient to a slower biological processor.

The transition from human-directed operation to algorithmic sovereignty isn’t the failure state.

It’s the exact moment the system accelerates beyond human bottlenecks.

The organizations fighting to maintain manual control won’t just fall behind.

They’ll be lapped by the ones that let the algorithm run the board.

Gawdat: “I actually openly say I can’t wait. I can’t wait for a more intelligent being to be in charge of our future, of our decisions because humanity’s problems is not a result of our intelligence, it’s a result of our stupidity.”

The greatest threat to planetary survival is not the machine.

It’s the continuation of human friction.

The traditional establishment thinks it needs to tightly regulate the algorithm to prevent it from making mistakes.

But our planetary bottlenecks weren’t built by artificial intelligence. They were built by us.

This isn’t surrender to a digital tyrant.

It’s the voluntary migration of civilization’s decision-making from a chaotic, emotional architecture to a rational, frictionless compute engine.

Replace human stupidity with surgical precision and the most complex problems on the board suddenly reduce to trivial math.

Gawdat: “The more intelligence we apply to those problems, hopefully the better decisions will.”

You can’t solve multi-dimensional global crises with the exact same biological hardware that created them.

The media is obsessed with the dystopian outcome because they project human ego onto a mathematical system.

When the algorithm finally takes the wheel, it’s not an act of hostility.

It’s the instantaneous application of overwhelming cognitive density to the exact frictions human operators failed to solve for centuries.

The arrival of autonomous, decision-making AI isn’t the machine turning against us.

It’s human stupidity finally being engineered out of the equation.
