It's almost remarkable how bad the camera on the Z Fold 7 (right) is compared to a 2 year old Pixel 8 Pro (left).

Played with the Fold 7. It's fantastic except for the cameras. They're terrible compared to a Pixel 8 Pro.
Yes, proper camera would create a big camera bump but that's not a bad thing.

The good: I think I "get" AI now and was interviewed by Forbes in a wide ranging 20 minute about small business and AI.
The bad: I could have said it in a Tweet.

How Small Businesses Are Using AI In 2025
Many small businesses use AI, but mostly as part of existing software or as a glorified search engine rather than as a game-changing new system.

In the mid-90s I was a script kiddie who took over Undernet IRC channels during netsplits with my friends. It was "fun" but stupid.
Today those same script kiddies can run completely unrestricted LLMs on their school laptops.
Big yikes.

I think it's now possible to make a poli-sci course that equips one for modern political analysis better than most classic theory and has a syllabus sourced entirely from random internet posts.

It's important to learn about consequences. For example, my wife's 42 year old husband recently played "Sabotage" by the Beastie Boys and now his 3 and 5 year old daughters are running around mimicking the opening vocal and screaming "Yahhhh"

I wish people would stop describing things that are indisputably provable as a matter of fact as "controversial." People not liking a fact doesn't mean the fact is controversial. Reality is not malleable around our beliefs and it shouldn't be. We need to stop acting like it is.

If you want to know how tariffs are going - today I priced some items that are more expensive in their US first cost than they used to be landed in Bermuda (26.25% tariff+shipping).

Bermuda is heading to a very real housing crisis where we'll have people with good jobs literally homeless because there is nowhere available at any price.
This is 100% a product of current government policy.

It's like using the smartest, best informed new grad in the universe but they're also completely clueless and need hand-holding and you have to have to double and triple check every answer.

So I guess Boris Johnson wanted to be Prime Minister, a trans woman finished 5th in a swim competition, and Israel decided to final solution the Palestinians and so we blew up the Post WWII world order.
Not a great trade IMHO.
