I've spent the last week reading social scientists on Twitter mocking Michael Green's ridiculous "$140,000 poverty line" concept. @TheFP is so proud of their article on this they're running ads about it. Shameless.

We just shipped Tasklet's biggest update since launch. The v2 agent is a ground-up rebuild of how our AI agents think, plan, and execute work. Here's what's new 🧵

I have a draft post on news about self-driving cars for when I have a free slot, and I keep having to copy in a new version of this chart.

Waymo just announced testing (with safety drivers) in three new cities: Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and Baltimore. Legislation will be needed to enable driverless operation in both Baltimore and St. Louis (our first red-state question mark!).

If you include London and Tokyo, Waymo is now active in 29 metro areas. 30 if you count Silicon Valley separately from SF.

I initially got St. Louis wrong because ChatGPT pointed me to multiple law firm blog posts citing Missouri SB 811, which would have legalized AVs in 2018 but never got signed into law. It turns out Josh Hawley's home state may not welcome AVs with open arms.

MAGA keeps insisting that the Washington Post lied. But no one has pointed to an actual lie in the story.
