About five hours into Elon Musk’s testimony, I typed the following sentence into my notes: ā€œI have never been more sympathetic to Sam Altman in my life.ā€ www.theverge.com/tech/921….

Thrilled for all the debate about software brain - even the people who think I am a neoliberal shill lol - but it does seem like the definition is getting lost, so here it is clearly for reference. And note ā€œcontrolā€ here is very important - lots of bad things happen as people seek this control!
S
o what is software brain? The simplest definition I've come up with is that it's when you see the whole world as a
series of databases that can be controlled with the structured language of software code. Like I said, thin in nanmanful ma afrain thines. SO
muc.
Copy
Find Selection
Look Up
id a
bunch of important companies have been built around maintaining those databases and providing access to them.
Zillow is a database of houses. Uber is a database of cars and riders. YouTube is a database of videos. The Verge's website is a database of stories. You can go on and on and on. Once you start seeing the world as a bunch of databases, it's a small jump to feeling like you can control everything if you can just control the data.

Look this is all brazenly corrupt but Delrahim was the Trump 1 antitrust chief who brokered the deal allowing Sprint to buy T-Mobile, a deal which created the ultra-competitive Dish Mobi- wait I’m told this was actually a catastrophic failure everyone saw coming www.nytimes.com/2026/04/2….
David Ellison, the billionaire media mogul, feted President Trump and top members of his administration at a private dinner in Washington on Thursday as his company, Paramount, seeks federal sign-off on a $111 billion deal to buy Warner Bros. Discovery.
The gathering, at the U.S. Institute of Peace, included top executives and journalists from CBS News, which Paramount owns. Bari Weiss, the network's editor in chief, joined Mr. Ellison at Mr.
Trump's table, and Norah O'Donnell, the former
"Evening News" anchorwoman, also attended, according to two people briefed on details of the closed-door event.
Among the guests was Todd Blanche, the acting attorney general. Mr. Blanche oversees the Justice Department, whose antitrust division is set to review the Warner Bros. acquisition. The deal would place CNN and HBO, arong other outlets, under Mr. Ellison's control. Paramount's chief legal officer, Makan Delrahim, also sat with Mr. Trump, the people said.

THANK YOU, @reckless.bsky.social for saying it. ā€œā€¦ I'm just going to say it. AI does not have a marketing problem. People experience these tools every single day […] You can't advertise people out of reacting to their own experiences.ā€ This entire monologue is šŸŽÆ podcasts.apple.com/us/pod….

How did Dan Crenshaw, the face of the post-Trump GOP, end up known for his influencer beefs? And how much was his online drama responsible for ending his career? The answer: way more than you'd expect. My latest for @theverge.com at the gift link below. www.theverge.com/features….

Behind the unraveling of Dan Crenshaw

He was supposed to be the internet savvy future of the GOP. Instead, he couldn’t log off.
