@BukamuT @24Ent_Updates @discreetdiva_ Hijacking a yellow luxury car nogal? You'll stick out like sore thumb.

@0fficiaNBARefs @GoodForBaseball @eadiaz57 @antonkostalas You're still competing against yourself. I cycle, mostly by myself. Despite that I always want to beat my best times. I say it's fan service because we're mostly looking at the story and nostalgia. They arent, their dopamine is all about beating difficulty. Its their achievements

[Tim @timzzo]

@0fficiaNBARefs @GoodForBaseball @eadiaz57 @antonkostalas But your game skills don't suddenly dissappear because you're playing a single player game. Precision is precision, it all boils down to motor skills. Reading of the situation and being able to beat it doesn't go away once you play a single player game.

[Tim @timzzo]

@0fficiaNBARefs @GoodForBaseball @eadiaz57 @antonkostalas Their skills are still honed and built through those competitive games. Games like Super Meatball are known for their difficulty, the intuition and button precision is scary. Even
I'm like nah I have enough stress at work, no way Im playing that. It's fan service for older gamers

[Tim @timzzo]

@iAreShay @0fficiaNBARefs @jamrockshamrocc @eadiaz57 @antonkostalas We have references in games like Spiderman, there's little girls finishing Dark Souls. They're way too advance. I've heard my little one joke about some level 100 being too easy. Games like Mario got hectic and we beat them. This is small stuff for the mordern kid.

[Tim @timzzo]

@0fficiaNBARefs @eadiaz57 @antonkostalas There's 7yr old kids playing Spiderman on Hard difficulty(including mine) and Platinuming their achievements, this looks even easier. You're really underestimating today's kids. Your kid ever tell you "Dad this is boring, it's too easy." The human mind always wants a challenge.

@0fficiaNBARefs @eadiaz57 @antonkostalas I think you've been answered.

[Tim @timzzo]

@GoodForBaseball @eadiaz57 @0fficiaNBARefs @antonkostalas You do know there are creator modes right? And the reason why those live service games make money is because they're largely way more competitive, so yes I'm said what I mean.

[Tim @timzzo]

@eadiaz57 @0fficiaNBARefs @antonkostalas Even my kids won't find this reasonable, today's kids want a challenge. These games are made for us. My boys would rather beat some hectic puzzle level 100 in Roblox or Fortnite than go through these sequences. This is nothing but fan service. I'll grab it from the used pile.

[Tim @timzzo]

@pieterplats2628 @RenaldoGouws @PublicSafetyMMC @CoJPublicSafety @CityofJoburgZA @CdeDada Plenty ways to game nowdays, including through cloud. All you need is decent connection and you're good to go. Someone is not tech inclined. Keep up.

🟥 Liverpool, Bezos and the Price of Staying at the Top

Well, it’s done. Jeff Bezos is now part of Liverpool’s ownership structure through K5 Sports, within the 1892 Holdings consortium led by Amit Bhatia. The stake is understood to be around 30% to one third, with Bhatia becoming vice chairman. FSG retain majority ownership and operational control.

I’ve written two long Substack pieces about where I think this ultimately leads, but it’s Friday night and, two glasses of red wine into my weekend, a tweet is about all I can muster.

My instinct hasn’t changed.

This feels like another step towards the eventual end of FSG’s ownership, even if that day may remain years away. The transaction documents reportedly allow flexibility over how the relationship develops, although there is no predetermined route towards further ownership.

The uncomfortable part is what Liverpool are becoming, or perhaps what elite football has already become.

I understand the excitement. Bezos, Bhatia, the Saverin family, extraordinary wealth, global connections, technology, Asia, new commercial possibilities. There could be enormous long term benefits.

I also understand supporters who feel deeply uneasy.

Liverpool’s soul matters more to me than another £100m signing. Shankly’s Liverpool and billionaire capitalism make uncomfortable bedfellows.

Yet who buys a football club worth billions in 2026?

That's modern football’s grim contradiction.

We want Liverpool competing at the very top without losing what made Liverpool worth loving in the first place.

FSG have made their move.

Now we watch very carefully what comes next. #LFC

@rickyalderete If you wanted click engagement then just say so, you're an idiot just like her, you're actually just as worse. Mbappe had every right to defend himself

@TotesOfficial_ @TheGameVerse This is where governments should step in, in some countries mobile phone makers were forced to include chargers. Any title going taken off should come with a fine or a refund. At least PC can still preserve old titles.

Barack: You told me all those years ago that you couldn’t promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life. Of course, you outdid yourself and managed to give me both.

Eight years in the crucible, and not once did you melt from the heat. Not once did you let it harden you. Instead, you used it to reveal your truest essence: your stubborn optimism and unflinching courage, your dazzling brilliance and unpretentious decency, your ferocious work ethic and absolutely unshakable moral fiber.

Spotify's Chief Architect just showed how they ship 4,5K deployments /day with Claude at Anthropic stage

27-minutes. free. By #1 music app dev

"More than 99% of our engineers use AI coding tools. Adoption took off after Opus 4.5"

Worth more than any $500 vibe-coding course.

@Ravious101 America is an angry country, what the hell are you trying to prove by getting into an altercation with an old person like that? I guess most aren't trained on emotional intelligence.

@Footballtweet Funny enough it was the last tournament in the US. I remember it fondly because we had sticker collection book. Famous for Baggio missing the winning penalty against Brazil.

🚨BREAKING: Anthropic just published a study mapping exactly which jobs its own AI is replacing right now.

The workers most at risk are not who anyone expected. They are older. They are more educated. They earn 47% more than average. And they are nearly four times more likely to hold a graduate degree than the workers AI is not touching.

The argument is straightforward. Anthropic built a new metric called "observed exposure." Not what AI could theoretically do. What it is actually doing right now in professional settings, measured against millions of real Claude conversations from enterprise users.

For computer and math workers, AI is theoretically capable of handling 94% of their tasks. It is currently handling 33% of them. For office and administrative roles, theoretical capability is 90%. Current observed usage is 40%. The gap between what AI can do and what it is already doing is enormous. The researchers are explicit about what comes next. As capabilities improve and adoption deepens, the red area grows to fill the blue.

The demographic finding is what makes the paper uncomfortable. The most AI-exposed workers earn 47% more on average than the least exposed group. They are more likely to be female. They are more likely to be college educated. This is not a story about warehouse workers or truck drivers. It is a story about lawyers, financial analysts, market researchers, and software developers. The exact group whose education was supposed to insulate them.

Computer programmers showed the highest observed AI exposure at 74.5%. Customer service representatives at 70.1%. Data entry keyers at 67.1%. Medical record specialists at 66.7%. Market research analysts and marketing specialists at 64.8%. These are not predictions. These are measurements of work that is already happening on AI platforms right now.
Then there is the pipeline finding nobody is talking about loudly enough.

Anthropic's researchers found a 14% decline in the job-finding rate for workers aged 22 to 25 in highly exposed occupations since ChatGPT launched. No comparable effect for workers over 25. Entry-level roles were never just jobs. They were the training ground where junior analysts became senior analysts, where junior lawyers learned how arguments hold together. If that layer disappears, nobody has answered the question of where the next generation of senior professionals comes from.

The detail buried in the paper that most coverage missed: 30% of American workers have zero AI exposure at all. Cooks. Mechanics. Bartenders. Dishwashers. The technology reshaping professional careers is completely irrelevant to roughly a third of the workforce. The divide is no longer between high skill and low skill. It is between presence and absence.
The company publishing this study is the same company selling the AI doing the replacing. Anthropic had every commercial incentive to soften these findings. They published them anyway.

If you spent four years and $200,000 on a degree to land a white collar career, the company that builds Claude just confirmed your job is more exposed than the bartender pouring drinks at your graduation party.

Anthropic just pulled Claude Code from the Pro plan.

Pro users wanting it need Max now.

$100/month minimum. 5x jump.

I'm on Max 20x so I'm fine.

Flagging for anyone on Pro who's about to find out.

No announcement. Just a pricing page edit.
