The SXSW interview is worth a watch. Such an impressive CEO.

“Transitioning” from 50 straight months of job growth, a 400% rise in manufacturing construction and the best back-to-back years for the stock market in a quarter century. 🤡

Imagine DOGE opens your mail and finds your household electric bill. To eliminate this cost, they burn your house down without warning. Then they total up the bills that, as a homeless person, you will never again pay. On its website, DOGE boasts about the money it has saved you.

"For a generation now, too many people have grown accustomed to the idea that the internet is just four big companies and a few others on the periphery, rather than its original promise of something that empowered users to control their own experiences."

"R1 seemingly matches or beats OpenAI’s o1 model on certain AI benchmarks. And the company claims one of its models only cost $5.6 million to train, compared to the hundreds of millions of dollars that leading American companies pay to train theirs."

Wow. The optics on this decision couldn’t be worse.

I’ve seen this issue many times: web devs leveraging consumer focused third-party scripts to enhance the member web experience, w/o understanding the HC implications. Something as innocuous as a chat plugin might have embedded risks. #healthit

Cook: "It’s clear to me that if you zoom out way into the future, and you look back and ask what Apple’s biggest contribution was, it will be in the health area. That’s what I really believe."

Watching @mcuban.bsky.social on stage at the Wired Big Interview conference as he explains the basics of @costplusdrugs.com. I still argue that this is one of the biggest actual innovations in healthcare in years.
