In today’s game of Make Millions With Market Manipulation:

1. Energy Secretary posts that a tanker has been safely escorted through Hormuz.
2. Oil price falls 10%, friends buy.
3. Energy Secretary deletes post.
4. Oil price rises 12%, friends richer.

Thank you for playing, see you all tomorrow.

Screenshot of Meta trying to sell me on their new AI posting assistant, Manus. M-anus. Someone had fun naming that! (Yes I know it's a real name but it's still basically meta-anus)

I choose to pronounce this to rhyme with anus

Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.

BOY DO I HAVE A STORY ABOUT THIS. STRAP IN, FOLKS.

A few years back, my retired father replaced all the light switches in his house with smart switches that he could activate by talking to Alexa. It was a useful accommodation for an elderly man who gets dizzy when he stands up.

That is, until...

Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command.
It took down the DataTalksClub course platform and 2.5 years of submissions: homework, projects, and leaderboards.
Automated snapshots were gone too.
In the newsletter, I wrote the full timeline + what I changed so this doesn't happen again.
If you use Terraform (or let agents touch infra), this is a good story for you to read.

I love watching people use LLMs in public. They’ll reply to a breaking news article and say β€œ@grok is this true?” Babe where do you think it’s about to pull its answer from
