Lots of people asking about the shift to permanent daylight savings. The data clearly show locking to standard is best. For mental and physical health. That am sunlight is key, But if not, then locking to daylight savings second best. Shifting back-and-forth is the worst choice.
Some updates on the creator rev share program:
1. Soliciting engagements (“I’ll follow everyone who replies”) 3 or more times will results in removal from the program and your account will be forwarded to the policy team for suspension. Grok now catches all of these.
Nearly 4000 accounts were removed from the program today.
2. Our new model now detects duplicated content at 3x the rate of the previous model. Adding watermarks, intros and other edits will send monetized impressions to the original uploader. This also includes copying viral text posts (most common one: “Twitter is like the smoking section of the internet”).
We detected 1.5 million posts that were stolen this cycle. Repeated or intentional circumvention will lead to removal from the program.
With these changes, over $1 million will be given back to original content creators.
I resigned from Google DeepMind bc it broke its founding promise by selling AI to the military without restrictions against killer robots or mass spying.
For months, I worked to stop this but watched powerful ethicists and institutions choose silence.
Here's what happened. 🧵
~10 years ago I did yearly talks about "new JavaScript features".
When Chrome 100 shipped in 2022, I started a habit:
a tiny live demo page for every Chrome release.
50 versions later, I unified them all into one site 👇
Most solo companies fail for the same reason:
no real unfair advantage.
AI can cover your weaknesses to a 60/70 level.
Better than random hires who cost you equity and leave.
But it CAN'T invent your edge.
That 90/100 skill, network, or insight — that's still on you.
Once you have it though:
AI learns how you operate and scales it.
Your strengths get amplified. Your gaps get covered.
And the game changes entirely.
Used to take years to test one idea.
Now it takes hours.
So stop betting on one thing.
Test 100. Kill the losers fast. Double down on what works.
That's the one-person company playbook.
