What on earth

Strong disagree. You take your kids to Disney at the age they’re in love with imaginary play.

It’s kids’ first day at Waypoint Academy, the new outdoors-based Alpha School. They do their AI-powered academics in two hours, then spend the rest of the day exploring and learning outside. I couldn’t be more jealous.

8-year-old is spending most of the summer on grandpa’s farm and I’m not sure we’ll ever get him back

Apparently the kids in my son’s school (Alpha School) have been using AI to generate songs to help them memorize their spelling words. He always makes his heavy metal. I have to admit this would have 100% worked on me.

8-year-old had picked out a puppy right before we decided to move to Austin, and landed in a spot that didn’t have room for a dog. He’s been asking if he could get a puppy literally every day for the past year. Last night we finally surprised him.

Daughter’s final project for Alpha School this year was for the kids to organize and throw a music festival. The academics are excellent but she definitely learned more from this project than anything else this year.

I saw this pop up in my feed and thought, “How bad could it possibly be? They’re forced to make a statement on the conditions of the field markings?” Incredible.

The entirety of the Joe Rogan &lt;&gt; Marc Andreeseen podcast is fascinating, but please, please listen to this part. The abuse of power within unaccountable (and arguably unconstitutional) federal agencies has become so extreme the stories are almost unbelievable.

If you’re an engineer who wants to master AI, we want to: * Fly you to Austin * Cover housing * Cover food * Have someone do your laundry * Train you to use AI * Get you a $200k+ job with our hiring partners And it’s completely free, no matter what

I don’t know who is telling these kids that a generic degree is equivalent to experience or makes you qualified for high-paying roles, but it simply does not

So in a strange turn of events it turns out that, despite having a funny-looking swing, Trump is indeed a very, very good golfer. Definitely capable of winning club tournaments and legitimately a single-digit handicap.

Everyone is ripping on this girl for feeling entitled to a more impressive job just because of her degrees. But some of the responsibility should be shared by the people who told her for 20 years if she just got degrees people would be begging to hire her.

Forget politics, this is hard to watch on a purely human level. Let this poor guy rest.

When I tell 5-year-old it’s time to stop playing and go to bed

This is one of the craziest videos I’ve ever seen. Harry Mack is incredible.

If you want to feel better about your life just watch this and remind yourself that at least you don’t have to live like this

“So is it hard to poach people from big tech companies?” “Oh no. The way you poach people from big tech companies is you tell them that their career is meaningless and that they’re wasting their lives on something that doesn’t matter.” - Palmer Luckey

It’s impossible to describe just how different my six-year-old’s education experience is going to be from mine. Will update when we’re through fifth grade math. Couple months max.

Every day the internet shows me something crazier than I previously thought possible

This guy is hands down my favorite creator of any kind. In a world where everyone is trying the same stuff, he’s pure infectious energy, distinct personality. We need more of this.

Watching the AI-powered vacuum/mop from Matic do its thing (even working around junk the kids left out) is mesmerizing. Hats off so far. 100x better than a Roomba.

As ridiculous as that clip from that show is it doesn’t even scratch the surface of the insanity that show was

Engineers have Cursor. Writers have ChatGPT. FINALLY there’s an AI platform for marketers. Introducing Mopac Software.

I’m very excited to announce 🇺🇸 Gauntlet for America 🇺🇸 Our country needs AI-native engineers, and the U.S. Government is looking to Gauntlet AI to provide that capability. This is a COMPLETELY FREE, all expenses paid fellowship to prepare for high-stakes public sector roles.

When a bunch of former SpaceX engineers in Austin connect robotics and software to construction equipment you get Terrafirma

The entirety of the Joe Rogan <> Marc Andreeseen podcast is fascinating, but please, please listen to this part. The abuse of power within unaccountable (and arguably unconstitutional) federal agencies has become so extreme the stories are almost unbelievable.
