Anthropic's "Good Guy" Act May Be Mere Marketing
Anthropic loves to play the “good guy”- “we’re looking out for you and society”, but I wonder if this is just a shtick.
Scarcity and Danger Drive Successful Marketing Strategies
Agreed. I will add that scarcity (every recent game console, shoe drops, Birkin, etc) and danger (Liquid Death, RedBull, Monster) are some of the best marketing tactics out there. Anthropic needs to keep the dream alive.

Switching Back to ChatGPT After Claude Proves Unreliable
I’m firing up @ChatGPTapp again. The company and I are relying way too much on @claudeai and it’s no longer reliable or accurate. What a waste of time.
Google Gems Fail in Gemini Pro, Likely Compute Issue
Meanwhile, over in paid Gemini Pro via Workspace land, pre-built Google Gems are still broken. Worked on 2.5. Haven’t worked since 3.0 dropped. This has to be a lack of compute. These work flawlessly on Claude and most of the...
LinkedIn’s Algorithmic Gatekeeping Makes It Low ROI
I will admit, I do a bit of a side eye when tech companies ask me about LinkedIn posts or lack thereof. LI seems sterile and slow and old. The LinkedIn editors determine what goes viral. In-context videos are suppressed...
Businesses Need QoS Guarantees; Anthropic’s Outages Unacceptable
Shouldn’t service providers have QoS terms like adult SaaS/PaaS providers have or some sort of customer advisory? Anthropic *appears* to be trading outages for sucky service. If you’re a business and you have built apps that require a certain level...
Claude Opus 4.6 Appears Less Reliable, Missing Obvious Errors
Claude Opus 4.6 Extended seems dumber this week. I can’t explain it. More than ever I am asking when things don’t sound right: “Are you sure” “Rerun the numbers” “Do a deep fact check.” It responds: “I missed that one” “I should have thought harder” Anyone else?...
Stop Over‑Iterating: Embrace Good‑Enough to Ship
Iteration isn't always a good thing when you're obsessed. I'm going to have to get better at 'GOOD ENOUGH TO SHIP.' https://t.co/FkDJGkiQPi
Questioning Chip's Role Replacing Marvell Backend for TPU
Wasn’t this the chip that supposedly was going to replace $MRVL back end design for TPU?
Predicting XPUs: Once Mocked, Now Inevitable GPU‑only World
I remember so many people thinking I was nuts to suggest that years ago that XPUs would be successful and that it would be a GPU-only world.
Packaging Shift Lets Amazon, Google Embrace Intel Foundry
Pat’s Law of Something: All major vendors and suppliers are always in talks and testing. I do think this will move forward, though. Packaging is an easier commitment than wafers as it doesn’t force a redesign. Not easy but just...
Automated LinkedIn Invite Filtering with Perplexity and Comet
Used Perplexity Computer and Comet to go into LinkedIn, sort through 350 invitations, and accept or ignore based on specific criteria. Winning. https://t.co/al8VDW3TQ8
Attia Endorses Statins for 30‑year‑olds Despite Modest Benefits
So @PeterAttiaMD really loves statins and now leans into it for 30YO. This stance always surprised me given the low improvement rates of death and statin side effects. https://t.co/hV3kF44fr2
AI Health Data Uncovers Hidden Sinus Issue Affecting Sleep
I was always a believer that AI could radically improve health. When you see it in action in your own life, it’s amazing and gives clarity about the future. One, new learning for me is a thesis that my oddly...

ChatGPT 5.4 Not Worth Premium; Claude
Serious question: aside from maybe Codex, what is @ChatGPTapp 5.4 BEST at for business use? As in, you would have to be stupid not to use it? I'm about to cancel my $ 200-per-month sub and switch to the $20...
OpenAI Assures TBPN’s Editorial Independence and Control
WSJ: “But TBPN will remain editorially independent, retaining control over its programming, editorial decisions, guest selection and production schedule, OpenAI said.” https://t.co/jp8fE9rKjL
AI Inbox Needs Memory for Personalized Email Prioritization
With personalization and memory this makes sense. Without it’ll yield nonsense for businesses. Lack of context about you, your business, who your customers are, what you produce, etc. We need memory in paid Workspace. Thank you.
Hospital WiFi Blocks Claude, Perplexity While Allowing Other AIs
The hospital I’m in right now (not me) WiFi is blocking Claude & Perplexity, but ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot all work. Why block these two? And some weird security message when using my notebook on Claude. https://t.co/JN71loJi8G
Claude Gains Agents and Orchestration in Upcoming Model
Claude will finally get agents and orchestration with its next model. It’s one thing that makes Perplexity Computer so unique.
Started Tracking Blood Glucose to Identify Spikes and Recovery Exercises

Gemini Pro Lacks Memories; Enterprise Upgrade Required
It's odd that @GeminiApp Personal has memories, but Pro through @GoogleWorkspace doesn't have it. You need to upgrade to Enterprise to get it for a large, extra fee, or maybe I just can't find it. I've tried, trust me. Very...
Avoid Perplexity AI’s Enterprise Button—It Traps Users
Whatever you do in the @perplexity_ai app, DON'T click on the enterprise button that pops up in the lower left hand corner. There's no escape loop, no back button, you're stuck. https://t.co/p5aZMs7MzN
AI Merges Health Data and Calendar Into Infographic
Here is the simple prompt. It hit my Apple Health database and my work Google Calendar. Then I asked it to create an infographic. A few turns but not many. (Note the misspelling it just ignored). https://t.co/zj1jir75no
BIS Lists Block Shipping, Not Purchasing, for Chinese Buyers
Being on the BIS UVL or Entity List doesn’t restrict buying “from” it restricts shipping “to”. There could be political pressure but I doubt it, especially if used for Chinese consumers.
We Need a Standard to Auto‑Shutdown Recording Devices
True. Or until there’s a common connectivity standard that automatically shuts off devices that are recording when someone doesn’t want to be recorded. The technology surely is there but no standard for it.

RSA Conference's SF Hotel Prices Shock Seasoned Entrepreneur
I’m going on my 15th year owning my own business and I don’t think I will ever get used to paying $874 per night for a Holiday Inn Express in downtown SF. Most reasonable room even near SFO was...
JFK Terminal 5 Shows Decline: Few TSA Bays, Closed Restaurants
JFK T5 has 3/16 available TSA bays open. Long lines but not out the door. I haven’t flown JetBlue in a long time. 3/4 of the restaurants are closed and I guess under construction. I used to think the airline...

Meta's Layoffs Fund Massive AI Investment, Not Distress
$META up nearly 3% premarket on reports of 20%+ workforce cuts while carrying $115B-$135B in AI capex guidance for 2026. Markets are reading this as margin discipline, not distress. They're probably right. This is a replay of the 2022 "Year of...

App's Scrolling Bug Ruins Usability on iOS Devices
I used this and it has one fatal flaw. If you have 75 turns on an application or capability, you are building you have to literally self scroll with your fingers to get to the bottom of where you are....
