Jobs called computers "bicycles for the mind" -- tools we could shape to our will. But they never were. Until now. Every morning an agent preps me for my day -- calendar, news, last 24hrs of Slack -- in a personal podcast. I made it by asking. Same for hundreds of other things.

Representative Nancy Pelosi, the only female House speaker, said she will not run for re-election. She wielded immense power and became a Democratic icon, while she was demonized by conservatives.

Mayor @daniellurie is right! Under his leadership and DA @brookejenkinsSF, crime in SF is at record lows and the City is already working in partnership with state & federal law enforcement to get fentanyl off our streets. We don't need National Guard deployment in our City. It

Really important to see @OpenAI under @sama prioritizing teen safety over growth. A good standard being set for the whole space. Setting the teen safety model as the default for users is a BIG deal. We can build AI informed by our values. That is up to US!  https://t.co/ntPY2Clea5
