Excited to talk with developers who are adding access controls to their applications, about Google's Zanzibar approach to managing users, groups, roles, and permissions ranging from social networks to cloud resources on a livestream Monday:

RT @subbuvincent: The comparison between Reagan and Biden hasn't quite got the penetration this screenshot justifies - it literally screams….

But what I’m most horrified by the AI-generated, ad-laden, incorrect, farmed “content” any reporter's cursory search might have found: results 2-9 are garbage unworthy to cite from

@3rdERH @DavidSacks I’m unsympathetic to the hedge fund now soaking me $5 an issue for an understaffed product. I'd rather correct but the Knights and the McClatchys are long gone. .

I’m sympathetic to @3rdERH filing on deadline, off his usual beats, doing yeoman work to put national political news in a local context. Only the online edition has the invitation image listing @DavidSacks correct spouse named, not in print.

Even in a pioneering majority-minority news market the @mercnews serves, it's hard to guess gender of culturally diverse names. But I could easily imagine an AI hallucinating a marriage to podcast co-host @chamath !

I started feeling old a decade ago, when a co-worker said:.“Whoa! you hacked that as a /cgi-bin/ script? I learned about those in 4th Grade!". Now I know I’m old when a colleague told me:.“damn rohit some of these [FoRK posts] are from before i was born”.

My North Star for @PolyworkHQ’s bot-driven vibe might be an interview: just chatting while it’s putting my wins on the board. Perhaps even a @Superhuman-level concierge onboarding service? Or a spec gig for freelancers? h/t VIP @richburroughs for 6/6.

Or mashing up the genius of Poparazzi by only being able to hype your *colleagues’*greatest hits? The 2ⁿᵈ most brilliant idea in @PolyworkHQ is deconstructing the social graph through achievements — the modern ubiquity of × design collabs brings a 3D view to the resume? 5/6.

Imagine the AI potential of integrating s Quicksilver to assist in composing posts, pulling in stories about old patents, workshop talks, and news? Or code samples? Or business travel stories? Or summarizing podcast appearances?
