I wrote about the connection between two big recent stories in AI: the sudden increase in sycophancy from ChatGPT and the growing evidence that AIs can be hyper persuasive.

I learned more waiting tables than most people do in MBA programs.

And in my opinion, the service industry creates better entrepreneurs than any classroom.

Some have misunderstood my post below, likely due to its length. So let me explain my thoughts in a few words.

With the China tariffs in place, time is not our friend as the high tariffs put pressure on American companies — particularly the small ones — and our economy.

The way that o3 can guess locations feels very science fictional, down to the “zoom, enhance” tools it applies to an image.

This is sped up, but it guessed the location from a photo I just took with geodata removed and no clear signage drawing on the vegetation & highway columns pic.twitter.com/xsqENrXwxQ

.@BernieSanders is as consistent as a Swiss watch and his critique is well-worth heeding.
We live in a country where the biggest economic challenge some people face is how fast their fortunes grow, while a majority of Americans struggle to pay their bills.
It's untenable. https://t.co/DsvC0RrePm

This is HUGE: Apple can no longer charge the "Apple Tax" on web transactions.

Epic fought up against this anticompetitive practice; took Apple to court and scored a clear and decisive victory.

Apple cannot collect a 27% tax on web purchases. Not for Epic, not for others. https://t.co/CLKGh54ls4

With “besties” like @theallinpod @chamath, President @realDonaldTrump has a problem on economic policy.

Come on @JDVance. Biden left an economy with 2.4% growth until your radical & reckless tariff policy turned it to -.3%. And your budget adds $4.6 trillion MORE to the debt than Biden over 10 years.

Just the facts, man. https://t.co/jCTGV8Ujod

A lesson I wish I learned earlier: Your entire life can change in one year. One year of focused daily effort. One year of asking the right questions. One year of being misunderstood. One year of living differently. You’re one year away from people calling you lucky.

In 2017, I gave Trump’s first 100 days an F. Now? There isn’t a grade low enough to give.

There is nothing in our history that matches the scale of corruption of Trump in his first 100 days. I won’t stop fighting to hold him accountable.

Nazi Germany surrendered in May 1945. For Americans, the Second World War would rage for three more months, until VJ Day in August. But for Russians and those influenced by them, "Victory Day" falls in May. Trump follows the Russian practice, not the American. pic.twitter.com/vgVvMtnOEN

Be mindful of stimulants.

Caffeine has a six hour half life.
Coffee at 4 pm,
leaves you with a half a cup of coffee in your system at 10 pm.
It's hard to sleep with caffeine.

My advice to world leaders like Prime Minister Carney is to not equate the people of the United States to Donald Trump. The vast majority of Americans do not care to see Canada as the 51st state and don't agree on Trump's tariff policy. pic.twitter.com/CMNoPmp2pp
