We are an anomaly. Like a statistically impossible bullseye shot from before time itself. I'm so happy to be here, and what a time to be alive too!!!

It’s been pathetic. Everything in politics has been pathetic for my entire life, and the consequences of that grow every year.

Democrats, don't fuck this up. Focus on the economy & ending wars Don't go back to bringing men into women's bathrooms and DEI racism Let Americans be able to take care of their families based on meritocracy & hard work

we will need to rebuild and rewrite much of software to adapt to a new, faster pace. code used to arrive one drop at a time. soon, if not already, code will be written as if it were a continuous stream, like a violent river twisting and turning as it pleases. this is not a new thing: big tech cos have had to deal with this with the enormous scale of their engineering teams. but now ai has brought an incredibly elastic and capable workforce wielded by every engineer. this is your problem now, and the only way to adapt is to evolve your systems so agents - even and especially the ones with little context about the right way of doing things - can thrive. make the easy thing the right thing. your codebase is becoming organic architecture. agent contributions grow around the constraints and guardrails you’ve designed. good software engineering matters even more now! and no, the continuous stream of code is not something you have to watch helplessly. be more ambitious and design systems, frameworks, and languages to control the chaos. the time for mourning coding is long over

Reasonable people could disagree about whether these risks are acceptable, but our society has given up any rights to police high-risk/high-reward parenting in light of our official comfort with the medicalized maiming of children. This kid is likely to be an exceptional, well adjusted adult. End of story.

I just introduced the Red Meat Inspection Exemption Act with @chelliepingree to allow small farmers to slaughter and process their own livestock for direct-to-consumer sales without federal interference. This bill keeps Trump’s promise by reducing regulations on producers.

Phenomenal, incredible, and amazing... One example after another And anyone can!
Opus 5.5 designing LEGO 👀 I asked it to design a Microduck I can build with real LEGO pieces. It: > designed it life-size using 1113 real LEGO parts > verified: 3,204 connections, 0 collisions, every step buildable, centre of mass inside the feet 🤯 > made a 141-page LEGO-style booklet (237 steps) > priced every piece in the browser and prepared the orders on BrickLink

The system is backwards. Transparency is for government. Privacy is for the people.

Facial recognition is quietly becoming normal everywhere. Airports, stadiums, concerts, office buildings, and more. ----- The Walt Disney Company's implementation of facial recognition at Disneyland entrances poses a real risk of non-consensual biometric extraction. A $5 million federal class-action lawsuit reveals that poorly marked opt-out lanes funnel unsuspecting families into automated face-scanning checkpoints that link physical identity to corporate databases. Because the system's actual data-retention timeline remains disputed, visitors should demand manual ticket validation to protect their biometric privacy.

They shut down the Legislative Branch of the United States of America because I was outmaneuvering the Speaker to expose a global sex trafficking ring and impeach a rogue cabinet secretary. It was the only way they could stop me.

Introducing the US Gov Graph - a complete map of the people and positions of power in the federal government. To fix our institutions we must understand how they work, so we are using AI to model and monitor every government in America. This is Palantir for The People. Check it out here: graph.civlab.org/us We exist to set the conditions for an era of civic excellence unmatched since the Founding. We will need nothing less to navigate the age of AI. I'm looking for exceptional engineers and designers to work with me in San Francisco. If that's you, inquire here: tally.so/r/KY97RK. Self-governing civilization is counting on you.
