Hey Make: while it's been cool, it's time to unsubscribe and cancel our account *6588. Sadly, the website doesn't have any cancel action! 😢 Emailed [email protected] and [email protected], just wanted to double-check they'll follow up on the account deletion! Thanks!

In today's "reality tries to catch up to fiction" news 🙄 Antrhopic's Claude now offers computer use, where the AI can do everything you can on your computer, including talking to other computers! 🤖 {narrator} Still not as good a backstory as the Terminator franchise. 🎬

"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us." Celebrate the small wins to help us gear up for the rough road ahead. #BostonStrong
