I wish it didn’t feel so unusual and inspiring to see a leader treating everyone like they matter and saying that we have a responsibility to help each other
Combatting poverty and hunger in this city will take every single one of us. Myself included.

Among other travesties in this statement, National Guard soldiers are not "law enforcement"
REPORTER: There are people upset with the president, believing the National Guard members shouldn't have been there
PIRRO: I don't even wanna talk about whether they should've been there. We ought to kiss the ground and thank God that the president said it's time to bring in more law enforcement

This stat is probably true but mostly irrelevant. After three years of tech layoffs, it’s obvious most companies could cut 10% without AI and keep humming.
I’ve seen LLM-driven automation drive job cuts, but automation is hard work which many won’t do. Instead we’ll see AI usage mandates & layoffs

Ilya says modern AI has had 3 eras:

• Then came the age of scaling: “Input (Compute + Data) = Output (Intelligence)” fueling GPU sales.

NEW: Data on Russian forces’ rate of advance indicates that a Russian military victory in Ukraine is not inevitable, and a rapid Russian seizure of the rest of Donetsk Oblast is not imminent. Russian advances elsewhere on the frontline have been opportunistic and exploited seasonal weather. ⬇️🧵

It's straight up cowardice to shoot National Guard in DC.
They shouldn't be there. We damn sure don't need 500 more of them in DC. But shooting *them* isn't addressing the problem, it's likely to only make things worse and give people itchy trigger fingers.
But be clear: this is Trump's fault.

He drove a BMW. He was divorced. He was of course a sales person. Probably the most successful sales person in California and maybe the country.
He serviced the government.
