This openAI vid with Altman and Ive is…really cringe right? I mean the products may end up being wildly successful, but just waxing poetic about San Francisco? Guys…

I swear the Met Gala happens at least 3 times a year. It never feels like it’s been a year since the last one

That’s pretty explicitly not what Casey is saying. But to take the comment in good faith…there is a difference between access journalism biases and being well sourced. I don’t think Casey is particularly credulous, at least in the published interviews he does

“Reflexive AI” manifesto from Shopify CEO. Honestly, I think his general premise that everyone has to learn and use gen AI is correct. It’s just a reality. But this graf is…not a fun read

Respondents emphasize that Abrego Garcia was improperly removed to El Sal-
vador because, although he could be removed anywhere else in the world under a
2019 order of removal, that order granted statutory withholding of removal to El Sal-
vador alone. But, while the United States concedes that removal to El Salvador was
an administrative error, see App., infra, 60a, that does not license district courts to
seize control over foreign relations, treat the Executive Branch as a subordinate dip-
lomat, and demand that the United States let a member of a foreign terrorist organ-
ization into America tonight. For starters, because MS-13 members such as Abrego
Garcia have since been designated members of a foreign terrorist organization, they
are no longer eligible for withholding of removal under 8 U.S.C. 1231(b)(3)(B). Fur-
ther, the United States has ensured that aliens removed to CECOT in El Salvador
will not be tortured, and it would not have removed any alien to El Salvador for such
detention if doing so would violate its obligations under the Convention Against Tor-
ture. Moreover, respondents treat the relief here as “routine,” Resp. C.A. Stay
Opp. 1, but that relief goes far beyond merely facilitating an alien’s return, which is
what courts have ordered in other cases. This order—and its demand to accomplish
sensitive foreign negotiations post-haste, and effectuate Abrego Garcia’s return to-
night—is unprecedented and indefensible.

If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

I’m usually pretty cynical about political theater like filibusters…but Cory Booker seems to have really broken through with his 25 hour floor speech. Someone’s gotta be calculating this, but I’m curious what the total views/impressions generated has been

My favorite genre of business podcast is Wharton grad hosts talking to Stanford grad guests about their secrets to success. Both grew up rich and got super connected in school, but their success is all about time boxing and getting up early.

The backend of BlueSky is really impressive. I’m naturally skeptical about the premise of a Twitter alternative, but the UI is only a small part of the company. The decentralized infrastructure and algo tools are wild
