It’s been a wild ride.
Here’s to whatever comes next!
At this point, any candidate running for public office who promises to make unsolicited political text messages illegal has my vote.

I hope people realize that for the foreseeable future, the cost of healthcare benefits will get more people fired, or not hired, than AI
I’ve come to the conclusion that if you’re an admin or executive at your company and you can’t effectively communicate with a frontier model to get the output you’re looking for, it might be time to reevaluate your communication skills in general. I don’t believe it’s a prompting issue.
Quit blaming the people who didn’t make the decision and ask the people who did. Looking at the FIFA Disciplinary Committee, it doesn’t appear to be a board that would be overwhelmingly biased against the United States.

JUST A REMINDER.
Paraguay beat Brazil and Argentina and had the best defensive record in South American World Cup qualifying.
They just lost 4-1 to the USMNT in their opening match at the 2026 World Cup final.

That’s not what you want to see.
BREAKING: New startup "RentAHuman" allows AI agents to rent humans to perform tasks they cannot physically perform themselves.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
According to an investigation by the German newspaper "Die Zeit", not a single job has been successfully arranged through RentAHuman. It appears that people who carried out jobs actually received them outside the platform from someone posing as an agent.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but this seems to happen all the time in tech.
Shopify built its reputation by listening to small, growing entrepreneurs and solving our problems. That’s how the platform gained momentum. I literally helped 20 people move onto Shopify. But as they’ve grown and started serving much larger companies, the focus feels like it changed.
Now when my small businesses run into issues, the response often isn’t to improve the core platform. It’s “You can solve that with a Shopify Plus account.”
There’s a pattern here and it’s dumb: companies earn loyalty by solving real problems for small operators. Once they scale and attract enterprise clients, instead of continuing to strengthen the foundation, they gate it.

I’ve been at the Olympics for 10 days, and I can honestly say every single second has been positive. Aside from a couple of Canadians giving me some playful side-eye, every interaction has been incredible. I’ve met people from all over the world — from Iran to the Netherlands, Australia, and Japan. The power of sport to unite people is so understated. Going to the Olympics is truly a must for everyone.
Merry Christmas to all my e-commerce friends and all the people that literally waited until the last second to shop.
