For knowledge workers, the two skills that’ll matter the most going forward will be the ability to evaluate the quality of AI output and being able to figure out what to do (or ask the AI to do).
Actually doing the work is not going to be the bottleneck. Execution will be free or close to it.
Another forever war like Russia Ukraine is brewing in South America
Tesla is now a company selling stock not cars
I don’t subscribe to his newsletter but his points resonate.
LLMs are primarily pattern matching and token prediction making it unlikely that this is a foundation for actual intelligence even though they mimic intelligent behavior.
OpenAI isn’t untrustworthy but it’s just another VC funded startup
At this point X is like 1950s Vienna, a whole place made up entirely of spies, running ops against other spies, with no non-spy people. Or maybe like a 1971 Black Panthers convention where 3/4 of the attendees are conintelrpo.
If you're in a hurry, on a long road trip, or drive all day for work, finding the right charger could make all the difference.

Please write to your local MPs and ask that X is closed down in the UK and the EU. Sign and share the petition so the numbers can be cited to parliament.

Pack it up, I found the perfect gaming device.
I left Twitter two years ago and haven’t regretted it once. Popping back in to say you can do it too. Staying here means choosing to let your mind marinate in a right-wing cesspool. I don’t care how savvy you imagine yourself to be, you’re not immune to its distortions. Get out.
Time for my annual Get Out tweet. Feels like a lost cause at this point but anyway …
What the Twitter takeover did so effectively was fracture the way we get our news. If, for example, I want to get in-depth updates on Sudan I still check in with Twitter as that's where a lot of the biggest accounts are. There's no one-stop shop anymore.
the adhd cycle of procrastinating on things so you get overwhelmed and then you're so overwhelmed that you procrastinate harder as multiple life fires spiral out of control
What can I say other than everyone should be listening to @hypervisible.blacksky.app not just on smart glasses, but on everything else too. One of the most insightful tech researchers out there. Don’t miss our conversation!
Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.
Hakeem Jeffries voted for Charlie Kirk Day but still isn’t sure if he’ll endorse Zohran Mamdani. This is why the approval rating of the Democratic Party is lower than Trump’s or the GOP.

And yes, I was the last Black full-time columnist in the Opinion section.
Washington Post -- operating in a city which for a long time has been majority Black, is now without any full-time Black opinion writers.
This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.
Elon Musk & X @elonmusk • 1h Remigration is the only way 9.. 8 Steve Laws • @Steve_Laws_ • 13h Go anywhere in the UK and look around, you'll just see foreigners everywhere. ≥ It's truly sickening the damage that has been done to our nation and our people....
Musk now supporting the deportation of anyone who isn’t white.
*Do not* use the term “remigration”. It’s an attempt to normalise Nazi hate.
An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.
Interesting. So the language will become “LLMs are ‘part’ of artificial intelligence” rather than “LLMs are not artificial intelligence, they are a statistical model of human language that can be used to predict the next token that might be in a string of words.”
Some coders have the budget and time to play with all the latest LLMs and various AI tools.
That's not me.
My budget for tools is $0. I have little spare time.
I still get stuff done with AI.
For free join me and Isaac Flath as we talk about it on August 5th.

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet.
ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.
One of the things I’ve found fascinating is that we all have this universal experience that despite how much we use smartphones, they don’t show up in our dreams.
The theories as to why this is the case are so speculative that they might as well be conspiracy theories.
Cloudflare open sourced an OAuth library that was almost entirely vibe coded using Claude. They also shared the prompts that led to completed library which is an interesting study.
We’re in a weird intermediate period where you need to know both programming and telling an AI what to program.
Still jarring to see it in print.
