We fetched 871 articles published in the Guardian by Bryan Armen Graham over the last six years. It's clear that he is increasingly relying on AI.

In two weeks in February he churned out nine articles classified by Pangram as fully AI-generated.

Many people assuming I meant job loss anxiety but that's just one presentation. I'm seeing near-manic episodes triggered by watching software shift from scarce to abundant. Compulsive behaviors around agent usage. Dissociative awe at the temporal compression of change. It's not fear necessarily just the cognitive overload from living in an inflection point.

One not very hot take - The Claude C Compiler has the best internal architecture docs of any compiler I've ever seen. Far, far, better than any compiler I've ever written, lol :-)

@gavinjoyce Great little tool. `cal 2026` and `cal 9 2025` also handy.

@simonw We published our definition today, which aims to be precise and objective: https://t.co/vn69A7mkjt

@Padday Main benefit is surely that the thinking actually makes the answers better!

I think it’s interesting how R1’s approach actually has _less_ design than OpenAI’s clever obfuscation. It just prints tokens.

[Stephen O'Brien @steobrien]

@RonanKMcGovern Yep, agreed. Feels to me like the state should help startups by simplifying regulation, fixing options, shaping tax policy, etc. Not by trying to be an incubator.

@ciaran_lee US regulators had also signaled they would block.

Defund antitrust!

@thoughtwax I think his clarification of the quote makes it a little more beautiful

Today we launch Workbench, a product I believe will change the way everyone works.

Security teams need AI that helps them securely access their proprietary data and take action in real-time. Workbench gives them that superpower.

Very proud of our @NatRevNeurol paper, published today, on the neuromuscular complications of checkpoint inhibitor therapy:

@alexkaplan0 I just noticed this in the wild with my morning coffee. I was flabbergasted by how well it worked and the simplicity. Bravo!
