@jackfriks I have the opposite experience. Typing forces me to slow down and be more clear in my thinking.

Cracks in the current system are everywhere. And, like herbs under concrete, we are growing through them.

🔮 All elections from this point on for the next 5000 days will be driven by the deskilled career and the evaporated job market. The political class will grasp the last vestiges of crony communism and crony capitalism riding on the back of the masked Neo-Luddites. It will fail.

So Biosoft is here now?

Let me explain what just happened, because I don’t think people realize how INSANE this is.

> Cortical Labs put 200,000 real human brain cells onto a silicon chip and trained them to play Doom in just one week.

> Each CL1 system costs $35,000.

> A rack of 30 units consumes only 850–1,000 watts combined.

> The human brain operates on 20 watts.

> Large AI training clusters burn through megawatts.

>Backed by In-Q-Tel.
115 units began shipping in 2025.

> Cortical Labs is selling “Wetware as a Service” through Cortical Cloud, letting developers deploy code remotely to living human neurons with no lab required,

> priced like a software subscription but powered by real brain cells grown from adult skin and blood samples.

> it isn’t about gaming, it’s about biological computing that could eventually outperform traditional silicon in energy efficiency and adaptability.

This is getting really scary and we’re still at the very beginning.

@sircryptotips And now you know why the airport in El Paso was closed last week

@MattTorchia @MarlowNYC @amandacarpenter @grok Can confirm. Friends in the area know of no casualties so far. That doesn't mean there are none. They don't know everyone in town but are well connected in the community. Hoping it doesn't escalate further. Things could change.

Deaths have been reported in Guadalajara.

@Aurelien_Gz Thank God we dropped Flash from the web. It was never a good fit. Those sites only operated correctly in perfect hermetically sealed environments. And they broke the second your mom, and only ever website visitor, opened it in IE.

@ashux_ui @DenisJeliazkov Learn design. Design is a process for solving wicked problems.

@BrandNewFeel @DenisJeliazkov The guy who taught my first html & css class had a T-shirt that read "Learn to love rectangles" 😁

@aakashgupta @rachelwolan Interested to see the aha moment when she realizes Claude Code and/or Cursor will replace Webflow.

Seeing vibe bros struggle with design fills my heart with...

Since good suggestions are few here is one to get started with. Find your why. What do you wish to communicate? Why do you want to build?

[LTR @0xLTR]

I am attempting to vibe-code a personal website in Cursor, which is easy on the back end, but the design still sucks so badly and isn't what I want.

is there a better second tool for frontend design that is AI?

@larrykim @stephsmithio Thanks for being a voice of reason. And for years of inspiration 🙌 Nice to find you here on X!
