me instructing my AI agents to spend $15,670 on tokens to vibe code an app that will end up getting 6 users and make $3.75 (which anyone can clone with 14-word text prompt)

the gooner subreddit seeing OpenAI shut down erotic ChatGPT and Sora in the past 48 hours

OpenAI puts erotic chatbot plans on hold ‘indefinitely’ https://ft.trib.al/4Q2hLpT

Holy crap. United Airlines now sells entire 3-seat rows in economy that can turn into a bed. Can’t imagine any parents with kids under 5 picking another airline if given choice.

United Airlines

The entire row is alllllll yours. Welcome to United Relax Row, three adjacent United Economy seats with adjustable leg rests that can each be raised or lowered to create a cozy lie-flat space for stretching out... You'll also get a mattress pad, blanket and two pillows. If

they should make a movie about these dogs and call it “Homeward Bound”

Seven dogs stolen from their owners have gone viral after escaping from an illegal transport truck and making their way home. They traveled around 17 km together, led by a corgi across highways and fields, now safely back with their respective owners..🐶🐾🥺❤️

Another great use case for AI voice agents was when British mobile operator 02 created a bot called “Daisy” to combat phone scammers. Daisy is an “elderly grandmother” that can’t use techn well. She’s hard of hearing and scammers waste time chatting with her instead of scamming real people Especially, when she goes on random tangets about knitting and cooking. twitter.com/TrungTPhan/status/...

Zuck’s CEO AI Agent after he tells it “make no mistakes” for the 76th time an hour into the work day twitter.com/TrungTPhan/status/...

Zuck is building himself a CEO AI Agent to augment his job including “retrieving answers for him that he would typically have to go through layers of people to get”. The performance reviews for Meta's 78k employees now include use of AI agents. Many use a personal agent called My Claw, that has "access to their chat logs and work files and can go talk to colleagues—or their colleagues’ own personal agents—on their behalf.” The push comes on news that Meta is eye-ing layoffs of 10k+ positions (and in line with Meta’s acquisition of AI agent startup Manus and AI agent social network Moltbook).

Chris Miller (and frequent collaborator Phil Lord) have a pretty incredible roster of films with Project Hail Mary looking like cherry on top twitter.com/TrungTPhan/status/...

TIL Delta Airlines owns an oil refinery that saves it costs on jet fuel: ▫️in 2012, bought Pennsylvania-based refiner from ConocoPhillips for $150m (and spent $100m to upgrade) ▫️fuel is 20-30% of operating cost and the investment paid back within 5 years (Delta’s subsidiary is called Monroe Energy) ▫️only airline in America to own a refinery ▫️as of 2026, none of the major US airlines are hedging oil prices…had been unprofitable to do so and now just pass prices on to customers ▫️refines 200k barrels a day…half for jet fuel (rest is gas and diesel, which it then sells to buy or trades for more jet fuel) ▫️supplies 75%+ of Delta’s domestic fuel needs ▫️refinery business is still cyclical and Delta bet has taken some Ls (eg. during COVID, it lost $140m just in Q2 2020) ▫️Delta briefly considered selling operation ▫️Refinery booming again in recent years: sales of $5B in 2025 (~8% of Delta’s total sales) and saved 4 cents a gallon on jet fuel (~$100m cost savings) ▫️of refined products, jet fuel is highest margin and year round demand (gas in most demand summer driving season; diesel in fall and winter) ▫️ now, crack spread on jet fuel (price difference oil vs. refined products) has shot up since Iran war and refining operation in solid position on that front for foreseeable future *** AJC: ajc.com/business/2026/03/does-...… NYT article from 2020: nytimes.com/2020/08/10/busines...…

Never forget the Twitter Peek (a hall-of-famer for absurd tech hardware). Launched in 2009, the handheld device only did Twitter…but really badly: ▫️Cost $200 (+$8 a month subscription) ▫️Only refreshed the 10 most recent posts in timeline ▫️Only previewed 20 characters of those tweets ▫️No website access ▫️No calls or text It was discontinued in 2010, but an MKBHD review of the product would still be glorious. twitter.com/TrungTPhan/status/...
