The US job market is experiencing a historic divergence:

US information technology employment has declined -11%, since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022.

During this period, the tech sector has shed -332,000 jobs, down to 2.78 million.

At the same time, private education and health service employment has risen +13%, to an all-time high.

This comes as the sector has added +3.16 million jobs.

As a result, technology employment is now below pre-pandemic levels seen between 2017 and 2019.

AI remains a key force transforming labor market conditions.

Who’s taking a chance this summer?

here’s my offer:
> skip the internship
> come to San Francisco
> build your own ideas now

we built a campus for doing exactly this.

🇨🇳 Censorship in China is backfiring now that young Chinese are secretly learning about the Tiananmen Square massacre.

Even with AI scrubbing every trace of June 4, 1989 from the internet, China’s Gen Z is finding the truth anyway... and often in the weirdest ways!

Olympic skater Alysa Liu’s dad was a Tiananmen protester who fled.

When she won gold, Chinese netizens exploded: some called him a traitor, others got curious.

One 20-year-old Wuhan student dropped a hint on RedNote and her comment got nuked in hours.

Teens are stumbling on it through random livestreams and digging behind the firewall.

They come out stunned: “I had no idea the protests were that huge” or “my whole worldview just collapsed.”

The regime’s total blackout is actually creating curiosity bombs.

Young Chinese are horrified when they learn students were shot and tanks rolled over people, and some now want out.

Truth will always find cracks.

Even the Great Firewall can’t stop it forever.

I've dedicated months to a project that might be entirely a wasted venture. The pool projection thing is a very big ask for each customer.

- They need a pool table.
- They need a suitable projector mounted above it
- They need a suitable camera mounted above it
- They need a PC with a GPU
- They need to train a model on their balls in their environment

Even if it goes no where, it's alive in my studio and it's by far the coolest thing I've ever built, and it's going to turn me into a monster pool player.

Elon Musk: "If you punish people too much for failure, then they will respond accordingly, and the innovation you will get will be very incrementalist

Nobody's gonna try anything bold for fear of getting fired or being punished in some way. So risk-reward must be balanced and favor taking bold moves, otherwise it will not happen"

Today, we’re open-sourcing the draft specification for DESIGN.md, so it can be used across any tool or platform. We’re also adding new capabilities.

DESIGN.md lets you easily export and import your design rules from project to project. Instead of guessing intent, agents know exactly what a color is for and can even validate their choices against WCAG accessibility rules.

Watch David East break down this shared visual language in action👇. New capabilities and links in 🧵
