“Bridge Over Troubled Water” is the most beautiful song ever recorded   And its YouTube comment section? The most universally human corner of the internet   A place we should all visit from time to time No trolls. No negativity Just people sharing how the song carried them

we need AI for action, not just answers I can't get this story out of my head, true or not (because we all know it's happening) Greg has lunch with a 22-year-old Stanford grad. "Smart kid. Perfect resume. Something felt off though." Couldn't remember words. Dependent on AI.

Just had a fascinating lunch with a 22-year-old Stanford grad. Smart kid. Perfect resume. Something felt off though. He kept pausing mid-sentence, searching for words. Not complex words - basic ones. Like his brain was buffering. Finally asked if he was okay. His response
