AI for the people: runs on your phone, costs $20 a month, recognizes that you can see the secret power structures in the world that everyone else misses AI for the corporations: runs in a DATA CENTER, kills innocent children, CEO has glasses and some kind of speech disability

He’s so fucking good man. I hope this is a new turn and he does more skits. The next two years could be a Trump renaissance

This is awesome, but the utility of these parks is heavily compromised by the presence of drug users and criminals. SFPD would enforce the law but the marginal cost to an officer for doing literally anything is astronomical given the paperwork burden.
Today, I stood with Airbnb co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky to announce his $100 million gift to San Francisco’s parks. This is the largest single-donor gift to the city in San Francisco’s history, and will support the development of new parks, upgrades to existing spaces, expanded hours at recreation facilities, and much more.  An initial $39 million will help unlock five projects in neighborhoods across our city. SoMa, the Mission, Bayview-Hunters Point, Potrero Hill, and downtown will all see transformational projects finish sooner, bringing more welcoming public spaces to residents across San Francisco.  As Mayor, one of my top priorities is making San Francisco a city where families can put down roots and build their futures. Earlier this year, we launched our Family Opportunity Agenda—a citywide effort to bring down the cost of living and expand economic mobility for San Francisco families.    We're building more housing, protecting tenants, expanding access to affordable childcare, and keeping public transportation safe, reliable, and affordable. We're also investing in the public spaces families rely on every day.  Our parks are an essential part of what makes San Francisco such a special place to raise a family. Our recreation programs provide exceptional and affordable opportunities for San Francisco families. With this investment, we're bringing those opportunities to more neighborhoods across our city, expanding access to recreation, and making our parks even better for the families who use them.  San Francisco has created enormous opportunity for the people who have built their businesses here. And with that success comes a responsibility to give back to the city that helped make it possible. So, my ask to every leader who sees what Brian has done today is simple: help us create more opportunities for the people who call San Francisco home. Now is the time. Our city is coming back. Don’t just watch it from the sidelines. Be a part of it.

More YC founders need to be leading yacht teams
JP Morgan was 62 and the most powerful banker in the world when he won the Americas Cup. If that’s you then feel free to ignore me. Otherwise, you should focus on your startup.

Guys what are we doing
BONES attributed to Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, kept since 1098 in Saint-Nicolas-de-Port, in Meurthe-et-Moselle, were STOLEN from their reliquary inside the basilica, then DESTROYED. The suspect, arrested at his home, admitted to SMASHING the display case protecting the reliquary, then stealing its contents, BURNING the bones and CRUSHING them out of a “desire to destroy.” (Source: L'Est Républicain)

It’s happening
Trump endorses an amnesty deal with Democrats, saying immigration maximalists are on the “pretty far right” and suggesting that illegals who have been in the US for 10-15 years should have an opportunity to stay. Follow: @AFpost

MASS TONIGHT IN SF The hardest part of prayer is choosing to be quiet for a moment. It helps to have an environment that encourages that quiet, like a beautiful Catholic Church. Come to mass with growing Daniel tonight. Afterwards we’ll go get beers! DM for details.

This is such a heater
When being just and honest comes at a price, pay it. When forgiving seems like a defeat, forgive. When everyone tells you to think of yourselves first, do not be afraid to put yourselves in the last place. Be willing to give up time, money, comfort and plans to serve others. May those who see you find themselves asking: “Why do they live in this way? Where do they get this freedom? Why do they love one another so much?” #ApostolicJourney #Uruguay

Having autistic children because it took me 35 years to speak to my first woman
Older fathers transmit more de novo mutations (an extra ~1.5 per year), and their children have higher autism risk. But de novo mutations explain only about 10% of that association. The rest mostly reflects which men become older fathers, not what aging does to sperm.

Telling my wife I’m having an affair with a 26 year old Chinese spy for national security reasons
Everyone saying “Oh Jensen got got. Jensen fell for the honeypot” Ever consider he knew the whole time? That actually HE was honeydicking China and feeding them false intel? It’s a new Cold War. There’s levels to this. Don’t jump to conclusions. Don’t rule out a honeydick
