🇮🇳🇺🇸Just did a deep dive into the US-India tariff news (curiosity!) — if you want the key facts and fallout in bite-sized tweets, here’s a quick 5-part thread breaking it all down:

The country is 100% behind the president on fixing a global system of tariffs that has disadvantaged the country. But, business is a confidence game and confidence depends on trust.

President @realDonaldTrump has elevated the tariff issue to the most important geopolitical issue in the world, and he has gotten everyone’s attention. So far, so good.

And yes, other nations have taken advantage of the U.S. by protecting their home industries at the expense of millions of our jobs and economic growth in our country.

But, by placing massive and disproportionate tariffs on our friends and our enemies alike and thereby launching a global economic war against the whole world at once, we are in the process of destroying confidence in our country as a trading partner, as a place to do business, and as a market to invest capital.

The president has an opportunity to call a 90-day time out, negotiate and resolve unfair asymmetric tariff deals, and induce trillions of dollars of new investment in our country.

If, on the other hand, on April 9th we launch economic nuclear war on every country in the world, business investment will grind to a halt, consumers will close their wallets and pocket books, and we will severely damage our reputation with the rest of the world that will take years and potentially decades to rehabilitate.

What CEO and what board of directors will be comfortable making large,
long-term, economic commitments in our country in the middle of an economic nuclear war?

I don’t know of one who will do so.

When markets crash, new investment stops, consumers stop spending money, and businesses have no choice but to curtail investment and fire workers.

And it is not just the big companies that will suffer. Small and medium size businesses and entrepreneurs will experience much greater pain. Almost no business can pass through an overnight massive increase in costs to their customers. And that’s true even if they have no debt, and, unfortunately, there is a massive amount of leverage in the system.

Business is a confidence game. The president is losing the confidence of business leaders around the globe. The consequences for our country and the millions of our citizens who have supported the president — in particular low-income consumers who are already under a huge amount of economic stress — are going to be severely negative. This is not what we voted for.

The President has an opportunity on Monday to call a time out and have the time to execute on fixing an unfair tariff system.

Alternatively, we are heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear winter, and we should start hunkering down.

May cooler heads prevail.

I wore the Ai Pin every day for six months (for research) and here’s what it’s good at; where it fails, and where it could’ve gone.

CosmOS 1.3 rolled out this week, with Memory Recall.

Now you can ask questions about things you previously asked about, and even involve time and place.

This means you can ask things like:

"What was the name of the ramen place I was asking about last week?"

or

"What was the song I was listening to last time I was here?".

Context, personalization, and memory are fundamental building blocks of an Ai operating system - and it's powerful to see these in action today with CosmOS on Ai Pin.

Lots of other cool stuff in this update - make sure to check it out!

I had no idea matrix operations would become so important 😅

ML, LLMs and now quantum computing.

[Jeffrey Scholz @Jeyffre]

I read Google's paper about their quantum computer so you don't have to.

They claim to have ran a quantum computation in 5 minutes that would take a normal computer 10^25 years.

But what was that computation? Does it live up to the hype?

I will break it down.🧵

[Sam Sheffer @samsheffer]

@crowpto @nicholasjarboe @naval sounds like you watched the reviews or maybe even had a pin for yourself

we’ve shipped many software updates OTA (1.1.1 -> 1.2) and have mitigated the issues you’re describing

and no, you don’t have to enter your passcode like that anymore, either

please direct your attention:

[gaut @0xgaut]

just chat. drop the gpt. it’s cleaner.
