@zacksjerryrig:I can't belive this didn't work.

@moreperfectus:BREAKING: James Talarico just won his Texas Senate race. The Democrat focused on fighting corruption, his faith, and winning power for working people in Washington. He also overcame hundreds of millions being spent against him, including $150 million from Elon Musk alone.

David French / @davidafrench:Stunning. Elon Musk lit an awful lot of money on fire.

Lauren McGaughy / @lmcgaughy:Here at Ken Paxton HQ, man in crowd yells “no!” as race called called for James Talarico. Then “Gloria” begins playing loudly on speakers.

Elliot Turner / @elliotturn:Data centers development will be just fine, except for people who are cavalier with rules, regulations and the health/safety/environment of local towns in their own buildouts. Stated another way, this is worse for 1 guy than everyone else in the ecosystem.

Ted Zhang / @tedhzhang:Abbott slipping. Texas is ~1/4 of data center capacity in the U.S. I bet the NASDAQ heads for a bear market and the U.S. economy for a recession IF the moratoriums go through on data centers.

Reid Hoffman / @reidhoffman:2/ This night blew the doors off our expectations. From Texas to Ohio, Kentucky to Iowa, and South Carolina to Indiana, voters rejected the status quo. Tonight's lesson: Never discount any voter in any place.

Reid Hoffman / @reidhoffman:4/ On my donations this cycle: We should get money out of politics. And while people like Elon are spending outrageous amounts to keep authoritarian clowns in power, those of us who believe in the ideals of America cannot yield.

Reid Hoffman / @reidhoffman:1/ A few thoughts on tonight's election: Voters made clear they demand a different kind of country. Americans want an economy that can compete globally and deliver for them at home. And they made clear that they want leaders they can trust to fight for their constituents.

Ryan Mac / @rmac18:Musk is 55. The median net worth for his age in the US is around $410,000, according to NerdWallet. His $500 million election spend is the equivalent of a 55-year-old head of family in the US with a median net worth spending about $230. Essentially, a nice pair of shoes.

Reid Hoffman / @reidhoffman:3/ These elections were an overwhelming wave against Trump and his cronies. Now it's on Democrats to make a hopeful case for our future — to fight for an economy that serves every American, not just the already rich and powerful.

Peter Kafka / @pkafka:Deeply cynical to describe Elon Musk's election efforts as a $446 million loss. It's obviously a hyper-successful $446 million local media stimulus package. https://www.politico.eu/...

Federico Viticci / @viticci:These are some of the actual skills Apple is using for Siri AI in iOS 27.3 - there's a skill to teach Siri how to select and insert text in Notes - they made a skill to tell Siri about file types supported in the Files app - a lot of examples of what NOT to do (sign of an old model)

Matthew Cassinelli / @mattcassinelli:The best Siri AI news is hidden in the documentation - she can accept values in the request! Currently, you must ask with a specific phrase and following up with an answer. Soon, you can make a single request with the answers included: “Siri, find me an economy class flight from San Francisco to Los Angeles next Friday in airline app name.”

There is now a trend of several high profile individuals leaving Anthropic before IPO. I'm not sure what is going on in the Claude team but it sure looks like something is happening.
