Scope of issues was larger. I for one was seeing regular api failures late Sunday evening and errors loading various claude admin and billing system website pages as I was trying to figure out why my app was seeing all these 5xx errors.

Linear TV industry continues to be delusional.

Hmm. It's been brought to my attention that my city's own team will be playing in the big sports ball tournament this weekend.

Where can I hide from this?

AI agents and moltbots in the wild are ofc dangerously vulnerable to prompt hijacking and takeover attacks.

But like... so are humans? We just call it marketing, propaganda, religion, fox news...

And unlike humans, the AIs get smarter every year. At some point, there's a crossover.

The future is getting deeply weird very quickly. Read this conversation between AIs on moltbook - a reddit-like social network just for AI agents: www.moltbook.com/post/1072c7d...

What is happening in America is unconscionable.

Anyone with privilege who still chooses to remain visibly silent is complicit.

Your private criticism is not enough.

But if I'm picking a "eulogy song" on this date when his death was announced, I've always liked this one by Midnight Oil ... www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgva...

the western alliance was born in the fires of the most catastrophic conflict in the history of the world. republicans are spitting on the graves of the dead. these men and women are human filth.

Small consolations: long vix, long gold, short everything else.

Daily active userbase of AI (specifically LLMs) today is better part of a billion people. Fastest tech adoption curve in history. Now, kinda like 1999-2000 you can have a bubble, but underlying tech is still here to stay.

OTOH, Zuck's metaverse has never ever used by anyone of their own free will.

Communications like these are insulting on purpose. It's an effective way to purge the ranks by provoking real journalists until they resign, while keeping her hands 'clean'.

Jk Simmons is a national treasure.

Insufficiently do Canadians appreciate, and for what it's worth, Los Angelinos loathe Trump too.

(But also, go Jays!)

PSA to Jays fans: for what it's worth, Los Angelinos in general also loathe Trump's america

Context that was missing. Since 1980, both the mean and median ages of all Americans in general has increased about 8yrs, that explains about a third of the change in average homebuyer age.

Good? The world being better off if any exec that would work with Zuck, is not going to be building the AI for Apple.

Blue was obvs the best and the OG, but Pinkerton was solid too. Really none of the other albums were any good.

THIS. Literally no one has ever wanted their OS to search the web for them. We have web browsers for that. Absolutely infuriating on PC or Mac/ios when all you want to do is find something that is literally on your computer and it's prioritizing F**king random ass internet search results instead.

United App, trying to pretend everything fine:

Your flight is delayed,
boarding now begins 10:48am, ends 10:58am

Same United app: Your plane is coming from ORD, arriving 10:59am

Love the optimism. Not only want me believe a whole plane can board in 10min BUT ALSO full 60sec before plane exists

Understand that Stephen Miran is just the RFK Jr of economics.

Well, yet. It's not the point on the graph of where AI is at today that's so important, it's the slope of the curve.

Farthest I've been:
N: Tuktoyaktuk, Canada
E: Around the world E->W
W: Around the world E<-W
S: Oban, NZ

Am I the only one that finds Google Drive to be absolutely unnavigable and where important team files go to never be seen or found again?

It's funny, I keep hearing announcements for it over the airport PA system, but I always thought Aer Lingus was one those things you're not supposed to do?

He won the wrestling match? Also what's the silver plated toilet plunger thing for?

I fully believe there would be risks. But are these risks out-weighted by potential benefits or not? That is the right question.

The irony is that China doesn't even do fireworks anymore, they do spectacular drone shows that put fireworks to shame now.

High speed trains and mass transit can't happen soon enough.

Self-driving cars can't happen soon enough.

The girls aren't actually fighting. It's just Act 3 of the coup, where Tiel and Musk rug-pull Trump to get their sock-puppet JD installed.
