I'd wager that paywalls will cause younger generations—who get their news from free social media sites and podcasts—to receive more misinformation. Critical thinking pieces grounded in fact should not be behind a paywall during uncertain times. @nytimes.com @wsj.com @washingtonpost.com

In the era of GenAI, short conversational digital messages are trusted more than verbose professional messages. Its too easy to assume something verbose was created lazily via AI rather than a short message that is worded just like normal human communication. #ai #llms #genai #productdesign

Honestly, Anthropic should consider allowing Claude Code pro users the ability to bypass usage limits incrementally as opposed to simply referring them to buy the Max plan. I'd be willing to bet some people would pay for an extra hour or two at a higher rate when they have some momentum coding. #ai
