[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Today, I send my deepest condolences to Aleksey Navalny's staff and supporters who will continue his work, despite Putin’s attempts to stamp out opposition.

And above all, to his family who shared Aleksey's dream of a better future for Russia.

May God bless Aleksey Navalny.

Introduction of ChatGPT is so similar to HTML and the Internet early days. Everyone knew it would be impactful but we made it seem far more complicated that it was. Any kid that learned html and built websites for businesses was considered a tech genius. It’s the same with using ChatGPT/LLMs. It will go from being perceived as difficult, to being recognized as being fundamental and used by everyone. It’s easy to try and experiment with. If you haven’t. You should.

If your company uses the Salesforce platform, you need @see_sonar for change management. Sonar makes sure that you don’t break downstream integrations and workflows when you change a field in SFDC. @craft_ventures is excited to lead the Series A!

“I exercise executive prerogative. I don’t have to justify it, I don’t have to convince you... And the reason is, CEOs are only there for one reason, and that is they need to win. When you win, nobody can hurt you. And when you lose, nobody can help you.” https://t.co/Y6XpvZAszp

@DavidSacks Let’s Gooooo!!!

@andrewrsorkin @cole45_ What about the “trends” being created by social media. Doesn’t have to be true...just has to trend. How can we protect people from really bad investments without destroying a free market.

[MELISSA SMITH @melissaksmith2]

@mcuban Pretty sure most 25 and younger consume information across topics through audio/video.

Many people rn think we have to choose between censorship and incitement. They opt for censorship as lesser evil. This is false choice. First Amendment does not protect incitement. Big Tech could have adopted moderation consistent with FA principles. See:

.@Apple’s suspension of Parlor from the App Store is a game-changing step with massive implications for how it thinks about its responsibility as an uber-platform and how it might have to police it going forward.

.⁦@lloydblankfein⁩, a critic of Trump, said: “For Wall Street, it was lower taxes, less regulation. He was delivering what ‘we’ wanted. We put a clothespin on our nose. We weren’t ignorant of the kind of risks we were taking. We repressed them.” https://t.co/iU6X6HdDVT
