This is the best use of a chatbot that I’ve found so far: if you get a text purporting to be from your financial service provider, log into your app and ask their chatbot if the number is legit.

Bonus points to Wealthsimple for coding the bot to ask if you want to speak to a human 🤖

Absolutely love this video of two 50 y-o women attempting every Winter Olympic sport (and laughing throughout). This is the #Joy we need to cultivate in our lives.

Don’t ban teenagers from social media Restrictions would do more harm than good

Youngsters have a right to share in new technologies. Adults must seek to make their time online as safe and as rewarding as possible

LLMs do not understand, will not understand, and cannot ever understand information. It's a glorified search engine combined with auto-compete, and you should treat it as such. No matter how much LLM companies try to tell you their machines can think or reason, they cannot and will not.

Trichomonas and Brooklyn Blackout Cake Emails and texts show a warm relationship between Urologist and Jeffrey Epstein

I wrote about the urologist, Harry Fisch MD, who was a celebrity MD in the 2010s and who had a warm relationship with Epstein that was not just medical. Haircuts, dinner with Woody Allen and Dick Cavett, and Brooklyn blackout cake. Deserves same derision as Attia. open.substack.com/pub/vajenda/...

DOJ Released Unredacted Nude Images in Epstein Files A note from investigators in the files said some images Epstein had were "POSSIBLE CSAM."

The big picture to keep in mind is that modern destabilization and foreign interference usually isn’t about invasion. It’s about: undermining trust, amplifying division, convincing people their own system is illegitimate.

Once enough people believe that, outside pressure becomes easier to justify.

Our highest loyalty doesn't belong to people or parties. It belongs to principles.

If you wouldn't accept it from your opponents, you shouldn't accept it from your allies.

Integrity is standing by your values even when your own group violates them.

my girlfriend just tried to describe a podcast to me as "there's two guys yelling at each other about random stuff, and one of them is maybe a little bit in love with the other." babe that's every podcast

One of the most important pieces of advice that I got from a famous friend is that it’s ok to block people. You don’t need to justify it. If someone is wasting your time being awful, you don’t owe them anything. Block and never think of them again. It frees up your time & energy to do other things.
