Psst, you guys… the Antichrist guys are mad at the Pope.
Marc Andreesen joins Peter Thiel and Elon Musk in expressing contempt for Pope Leo and attacking the Catholic Church's new position on AI... and in the process makes clear that he has a far weaker grasp of AI than the Roman curia.
Tech Billionaire Mocks Pope Leo’s AI Warning — and Reveals Silicon Valley’s Original Sin
A billionaire tech guru openly mocked Leo's call for moral AI — and quickly backtracked after backlash. It’s a telling collision of Silicon Valley hubris with a pope they cannot buy, bully, or ignore.

This shutdown is now the longest in history, thanks to the Trump administration and their allies in Congress. They *could* fund the government and fix the health care crisis - but instead they’re prolonging the suffering of workers, just to break the Affordable Care Act.

No. Your Twitter traffic did NOT double overnight.

Twitter's been stagnating/declining since 2023
The growth team growth hacked (making links auto-open in webview)
They hope marketers will fall for it & pay more attention again.
But, it's nothing more than smoke & mirrors.
