“Companies are now laying people off to pay the AI bill. Not because AI replaced the work. Because the bill replaced the headcount.”

[Mark Ajzenstadt @mardehaym]

None of this is satire.

→ A company spent $500,000,000 on Claude in one month because nobody set usage limits

→ Uber ran leaderboards ranking engineers by how much AI they used, not what they shipped

→ Uber burned their entire 2026 budget by April. Their COO said he can’t connect any of it to consumer features

→ A CTO told Axios employees were using enterprise AI to check the weather

→ Microsoft canceled most Claude Code licenses because the token bill spiraled

→ Companies are now laying people off to pay the AI bill. Not because AI replaced the work. Because the bill replaced the headcount.

[Codie Sanchez @Codie_Sanchez]

The wrong first question is: *"What's the best business to buy?"*

The right first question is: *"Who am I — and what business is best suited for who I am (and who I want to become)?"*

Answer that one, *then* go shopping.

Bad ideas are not the enemy without the collective vessels they embody.

It’s the fact that people are ideologically possessed by them. When we don’t question our “beliefs”, they own us.

Truth requires being challenged to show its truer self. Wrestle with what you think you know.

[Brivael Le Pogam @brivael]

Dans le manifeste "techno-optimiste" de Marc Andreessen, il y a une phrase qui m'a marqué :

"Our enemies are not bad people – but rather bad ideas."

Nos ennemis ne sont pas des mauvaises personnes. Ce sont des mauvaises idées.

Prenons Jancovici. L'homme est brillant, sincère, travailleur. Il ne se lève pas le matin en se disant qu'il va nuire à l'humanité. Mais l'idée qu'il porte la décroissance, le rationnement, la frugalité érigée en horizon civilisationnel est une idée profondément destructrice. Elle prend des esprits brillants et les transforme en commissaires politiques d'un futur appauvri.

Et le plus fascinant, c'est ce que cette idée fait aux gens qui l'adoptent.

Dans mon entourage, une grosse partie de mes amis est sur cette ligne décroissantiste, avec tout le package qui va avec. L'argent c'est mal mais ils en veulent. Il faut moins prendre l'avion mais ils rêvent de voyager partout. Il faut consommer moins mais ils ne renoncent à rien de ce qu'ils aiment vraiment.

Et tous ont un point commun : ils sont déprimés. L'un d'eux m'a même confié qu'il était sous antidépresseurs.

Ce n'est pas un hasard. C'est mécanique.

Quand tu crois que ton désir de vivre, de créer, de t'élever est moralement suspect tu te détruis de l'intérieur. Tu passes ta vie à t'excuser d'exister. Tu vis dans la dissonance permanente entre ce que ton corps veut (plus, mieux, plus loin) et ce que ton idéologie t'ordonne (moins, sobre, immobile).

D'où ma théorie :

Quand on pense quelque chose de fondamentalement faux décroissance, communisme, extrémisme religieux (de tout ordre) ce n'est qu'une question de temps avant que ça devienne vraiment destructeur.

D'abord pour soi. Puis pour les autres.

Les mauvaises idées tuent. Lentement chez ceux qui y croient, brutalement chez ceux qui les subissent.

C'est pour ça que la bataille des idées n'est pas un luxe d'intellectuel. C'est la bataille la plus importante de notre époque.

@KevinEspiritu @epicgardening Hey hey 👋

Growing and raising organic here in Sparta, Tennessee.

[BeeSully 🐝 @sulligraph]

😂 True.
Also, Thank God we were left alone enough so we could grow up, become capable, and seek out real life’s edges instead of some abstracted game of triggers & feelz from coddled crib of comforts.

Stitches and casts were more normal than peanut allergies and furries.

[Crazy Vibes @CrazyVibes_1]

Dear Gen X,
I’ve been watching 80s movies and I just need to know…WHERE WERE YOUR PARENTS??
Every child was just wandering the earth unsupervised like a raccoon with house keys. Riding bikes across town at midnight, fighting ghosts, investigating murders, befriending cryptids, hacking government computers for funsies…
And the parents were ALWAYS “out of town” or “working late” while the only adult-adjacent supervision was some random 16-year-old who got dragged into the chaos.

No cell phones. No helmets. No adult supervision. Just vibes, life lessons, and several near-death experiences.

You all weren’t “raised.” You were lightly monitored feral creatures with a bike and unresolved trauma.

I’m genuinely shocked there are enough of you left to populate an entire generation.

$10M run rate.

$100k -> $10M in ~3 months.

1 Founder + AI. Zero employees.

"Polsia spelled backwards is AI slop". Correct.

Here's the thing: that's the entire point of this project. Polsia aims at producing the inverse of slop.

Slop is what happens when AI ships without taste, without direction, without a human touch.

Polsia enables thousands of every day people that never thought they could start a company to become founders.

They have taste. They guide Polsia everyday to build their dream company. 15+ messages/day/DAU.

8,698 companies live. +41% WoW. The future is agentic. There's no turning back.

Everyone is a founder.

A billion people will access this new AI economy.

I think the most requested product currently on our website - for out of stock notifications, is soy and corn free eggs.

We are working on it. Not sure just yet about the shipping needs to make it cost effective and safe (egg breakage) - but we will be exploring.

For those customers in the Greater Cincinnati, Louisville, Indianapolis, Madison, Lawrenceburg, and Vevay areas - you really want to join my email list (pinned in profile).

An entire farm buying program is soon to be announced.

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

That water clarity is an engineering decision, and the math behind it is wilder than the video.

Roman aqueducts ran on gravity alone. No pumps, no pressure systems. Engineers carved channels with a gradient so shallow it borders on absurd. The Pont du Gard in southern France drops 2.5 centimeters over 275 meters. That's roughly the thickness of a coin over the length of three football fields. They surveyed that accuracy with plumb lines and wooden leveling instruments.

The clarity you're seeing is a direct product of flow velocity. Too steep and the water erodes the channel walls, picks up sediment, turns brown. Too flat and it stagnates. Roman engineers targeted a slope of about 20 centimeters per kilometer, which kept the water moving fast enough to stay fresh but slow enough to stay clear. Before the water reached the city, it passed through multi-chamber settling tanks where velocity dropped near zero. Suspended particles sank. Clean water flowed out the top into the next chamber. Repeat three or four times.

Pliny specified the minimum slope in writing. Vitruvius published the exact mortar ratio for hydraulic cement: one part lime to two parts volcanic ash for underwater work. The pozzolana from Pozzuoli reacted with water to form a calcium-aluminum-silicate compound that actually gets stronger the longer it sits submerged. Modern concrete degrades in water. Roman concrete bonds with it.

Scale the whole system and it gets harder to process. Eleven aqueducts fed Rome at its peak. Combined output: roughly 1 million cubic meters of water per day. That works out to about 250 gallons per person for a city of one million. Modern New York delivers about 125 gallons per person per day. Ancient Rome had access to double the per capita water supply of the largest city in the United States, running entirely on slope and stone.

The Trevi Fountain in Rome is still fed by one of them. Two thousand years, same source, same gravity, same water.

3rd rate products don’t win on their own.

Without taste, you just have to lie cheat and steal your way to the top.

[Jaynit @jaynitx]

Steve Jobs explains exactly why he thinks Microsoft makes "third rate products"

"The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste"

"I don't mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way. They don't think of original ideas and they don't bring much culture into their products"

"Proportionally spaced fonts come from typesetting and beautiful books. That's where one gets the idea. If it weren't for the Mac, they would never have that in their products"

"I'm saddened not by Microsoft's success. I have no problem with their success, they've earned it for the most part"

"I have a problem with the fact that they just make really third rate products"

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

I’ve mentioned something like this before, but, if any of my companies goes public, we will prioritize other longtime shareholders of my other companies, including Tesla.

Loyalty deserves loyalty.

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

Farmers have figured out that the cheapest pesticide is a strip of flowers.

When you plant wildflowers through a crop field, not just around the edge but in strips running through the middle, you get ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps living in the field instead of visiting it.

They eat the aphids, the caterpillars, and the mites for free, all summer long.

In controlled trials, fields with tailored flower strips had leaf-beetle numbers 40 to 50% lower and crop damage cut by around 60%, enough to drop below the threshold where spraying was even considered worth it.

The flowers attract a standing army to our fields.

We spent decades engineering chemicals to kill the insects eating the crop, when the insects that eat those insects would have worked for the price of seed.
