The National Design Studio is doing remarkable work for America. It is extremely rare for people as accomplished and talented as @jgebbia to leave the private sector to work for the public. I hope it inspires more people who’ve built extraordinary companies to help build a country where others get that same chance.

Meta's CTO just told me that the next 18 months will be "absolute chaos." I sat down with @boztank to talk about AI glasses as the next great computing platform, personal superintelligence –– and why 2028 is the year he keeps coming back to.

Palmer Luckey: "The biggest beneficiaries of vibe coding are going to be the hardware nerds like me. It's going to be the shape rotators." Everyone's focused on how the word cells are going to be wiped out by AI, but for the shape rotators, it's going to be incredible." "I was always a pretty terrible software engineer. I'm not a programmer by trade. I've taught myself enough to glue things together and make them work." "When I started Mod Retro, when I was 14 or 15, I knew just barely enough about software. If I would have been able to build crappy stuff by outsourcing it to a computer, I actually would have been able to accomplish things a lot faster." "People might say, Palmer, you should have just learned to code. But I think it's pretty easy to look at my track record and realize I started Oculus when I was 19 after building prototypes since I was 15. I was only able to accomplish what I accomplished because I focused on what I was good at, a little bit of electrical, and then product integration." "I am a big fan of vibe coding, even if everything that comes out of it is slop. It's better than I was able to make." PS.

Elon Musk sounds the doom alarm on electronic voting machines, they should be banned entirely. "I've been programming computers since I was nine years old, and I know how easy it is to get a line of software wrong or hack a computer. The last thing we want is electronic voting machines. We want paper ballots in person with ID." "Advanced AI will be super good at hacking computers. If you have voting machines connected to the internet and you've got super advanced AI that can potentially affect those machines, I think that's very dangerous." "I'm someone who favors technology, I'm 24th century technology boy right here, and I'm saying no machines for voting." PS.
