Thank you America, thank you for your support, thank you for this visit. Thank you @POTUS, Congress, and the American people. Ukraine needs just and lasting peace, and we are working exactly for that.

Great analysis here from @Raph_dOrnano for anyone unpacking the Agentic AI revolution and the impact on valuations. .
🚨 The AI revolution is entering Act II: the era of autonomous agents. Forget growth projections. Architectural resilience is now the key to long-term value. A new framework rethinks who wins in this agentic era. Let’s dive in 👇

Yes, the #FetedelaMusique has officially jumped the shark. 10,000 bars blasting techno music through giant speakers. Just pure awfulness.
A quel moment exactement la #FetedelaMusique a arrêté d'être le truc sympa avec les chorales de quartier et les chanteurs du dimanche pour devenir un évènement où des sandwicheries mettent une grosse enceinte sur leur terrasse et diffusent une bande-son techno pré-enregistrée ?.

Wonder what the French equivalent would be?.
Xiaoma, a polyglot, was invited to give a speech at a high school for Language Week, and he delivered the entire speech in Gen Alpha slang.

So, a Frenchie is going to effectively be running @OpenAI! Congrats to @fidjissimo of Sète! (one of my favorite corners of France, btw.).
So excited to be joining @openai and contributing to its mission. Thank you @sama for the opportunity- it will be such a privilege to work with such a talented team on one of the most important and ambitious endeavors in history. I’ll remain CEO of @Instacart for the next few.

. American individuals and companies already pay far more for Healthcare and get worse outcomes than countries with universal Healthcare. The shift would be complicated, but overall it's about redirecting trillions of dollars from an insurance layer that serves no real purpose.

This framing of "pay more taxes" speaks directly to the stupidity of this debate in the US and how the nation convinces itself to stick with the grotesque current system. .
Would gladly pay more taxes so that the US had universal healthcare, *provided* it was done competently and on a state by state basis. Then folks will choose to live in the state that does the best job for them and their family. states competing is my favorite aspect of our.

I have yet to see anyone articulate an even remotely coherent business model for Tesla selling Robotaxis. Are these for consumers? Businesses? Would Tesla run its own Robotaxi biz?. Just epic silliness.
Scoop: Internal Tesla analyses concluded that the Robotaxi—on which CEO Elon Musk has bet the company—would struggle and possibly lose money. Musk pushed ahead with it anyway, convinced that the analyses missed the Robotaxi's appeal. The Information.

Good question here: the whole Studio Ghibli phenomenon has been fun. OpenAI double its users. But is that actually helping it build a sustainable business?.

Trump knows the only bounds on his power is whether Congress will impeach him. Which we know will never happen. So, that is all she wrote.
The Supreme Court made a unanimous decision, saying the lower Court’s order “properly requires the Government to ‘facilitate’ Abrego Garcia’s release.”. Calling on the White House to follow this directive.
