I'm not reading Altman's singularity post. Instead, I'll have my new VC-backed AI notes summary tool (still in stealth, we're hiring!) tell me that it's absolutely drivel.

I upgraded my monitor since tariffs were going to set in. No idea what tech will cost in the near future. Anyway, this isn't about the monitor or the tariffs, but the amount of stuff I pulled off my desk.

Proton having impactful – all services – outages twice in as many months is becoming an issue. I understand and read the first incident report from December 18th, however I want to see a more detailed one regarding what occurred along with future risk mitigation in both this and the last incident.

I saw Polywork was closing. When I went to log back in, to see what data was there, there isn't an account matching my e-mail address... the same one which got the notification.
I feel bad for the team, but there's going to be some interesting lessons learned in the coming weeks.
