I’ve been saying the past few months that we are all creating Faster Horses 🐎

(Yes, a Detroit, Michigan analogy, you’re welcome! 🧤)

We aren’t creating cars in the AI-verse but optimizing the heck out of the horse. We’re feeding the horse vitamins and putting the poor thing on rollerskates.

Instead of solving impossible problems, we are solving the SAME problems FASTER and also doing nonsense things like saying, look AI can do this faster than a human.

Why is AI competing with humans rather than solving problems we’ve never been able to solve?

When smartphones came out, we solved previously unsolved problems (how can we have a portable cash register for small businesses —Stripe/Square/some shape, how many we figure out what song is playing — Shazaam, how can we figure out how far we ran — RunKeeper)

BUT with AI, we’re determined to do email faster.

I don’t know about you but I don’t want faster email. I don’t want email at all!

If you are truly solving a previously unsolved problem with AI, please holler below. We’d love to showcase you on a stage somewhere 👇🏼

Till then I’ll be on a quest to chase all the fast, wild horses I can 🤷🏽‍♀️

Astronaut Gene Cernan was born on this day in 1934. He served as pilot of the Gemini 9A mission, lunar module pilot of Apollo 10 and commander of Apollo 17, when he became the last person to walk on the Moon (so far).

Today is NASA’s Day of Remembrance. We honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for exploration during missions like Apollo 1, Challenger (STS-51-L), Columbia (STS-107), and others who lost their lives in flight training accidents.

We remember you today.

Yes, I am.

Asking AI for help is like pair-programming with a genius who occasionally lies for fun.

Well stadiums in Europe mainly were for Football(soccer) and we barely eat before during or at the half…in Europe we go to see the game and that’s it….and we do the lunch or dinner before or after in near by restaurants or at home! Is a !miss opportunity? Yes…but is the way it is…we consume too many calories in stadiums! The Stadiums of The Gods of Sports can not be The stadiums of the Gods of obesity!😇

[Justine Bateman @JustineBateman]

Big, sad slow-clap for Dr Seuss Enterprises, and their "Whoville @Walmart" ad sell-out.
The entire message of "The Grinch" is that Whoville finds the true meaning of Christmas: love and being with each other. And they find that as a result of the theft of all their presents.
But, WAIT. What if instead Whoville is actually full of a bunch of Walmart mobile-app users, and they can just order a bunch of presents to be delivered?!
Well, congratulations to the organization that is supposed to maintain the integrity of the Dr. Seuss material. Slow clap for you.
If you'd also like to congratulate them, you can email them here: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected].
I guess if you don't want your artistic material's integrity destroyed, don't die.

Any nyctophiles out there? Here's a fun fact you may enjoy:
Spokane has some of the earliest winter sunsets in the contiguous United States. In sixteen more days on December 1st, 2025, the sun will set before 4:00 p.m. in Spokane for the first time this year. 🌉🌙

We have successfully established contact with both ESCAPADE spacecraft, 💙 Blue and 💛 Gold.

We're on our way to Mars to enable @NASA and @ucbssl to study the Martian magnetosphere!

[Eric Berger @SciGuySpace]

HOLY SHIT! They landed the booster. Huge congratulations to Blue Origin and everyone who worked their asses off to make this happen.

[Everyday Astronaut @Erdayastronaut]

I can’t get over how incredible today’s @blueorigin New Glenn launch AND LANDING was!!! Huge congrats to everyone who made it happen!

There’s something strangely amusing about the way Rocket Lab is taking about its ESCAPADE spacecraft being launched, without saying who will be launching them. While Blue Origin talk about launching ESCAPADE without mention who built them.

[Julia Bergeron @julia_bergeron]

Per FAA, there will be a prohibition on launches beginning Nov. 10 at 6 a.m. Launches will be restricted to the hours of 10 p.m. - 6 a.m. local time. This is in addition to the reduction of flights that impacts 40 airports. ESCAPADE has the 9th to get gone.
