🧵 1️⃣ When my in-laws booked their flight to Berlin (which would be their first trip abroad), my husband and I told them, “We can get a cheap flight or train ticket to almost anywhere. Where in Europe would you like to go?”

Without hesitating, my father-in-law said, “Lorraine.”

An unknown individual is trying to keep their tax avoidance scheme, and resultant dispute with HMRC, private. They've just applied for a lifetime anonymity order.

Quick thread:

In grad school, I worked part time at lululemon (retail, not corporate).

I learned more about business from that part time job folding & selling yoga pants than any other job I had. ❤️

Here’s what they did differently:

Need energy this morning?

May I recommend blasting some Tina Turner into your ear drums?

You're welcome.

My daughter loves trains and cats, so we’ve decided to visit as many UK train station cats as we possibly can. Please let me know if your local train station has a resident cat. Thanks 😊.

This week, my wife and I are celebrating our anniversary. My parents ordered us a very practical, thoughtful gift on Amazon: a crockpot and a crockpot cookbook.

We're thrilled. There's just one minor issue: I'm pretty sure the cookbook was written by an AI... 🧵

▫️ Groupon declined a $6 billion offer from Google in 2010. Since then, its valuation has dropped to $600M

▫️ Moz declined a $25M M&A deal from…

François Chollet AI hype (as with almost everything) is unevenly distributed.

For creative & similarity matching tasks, the hype is real.

Yet for precision-oriented tasks, GenAI is still demo-ware with unproven value.

Quality, security/privacy, performance & cost are lacking across the board.…

GenAI poses a much deeper pickle for Google than I initially assumed... The last few weeks completely echo the time I was at Google in the early 2000's when we were up against Microsoft - except this time Google is on the receiving end.

Looking back, we beat Microsoft not…
