AI valuations are verging on the unhinged - The Economist (No paywall)
 Vibe coding, or the ability to spin up a piece of software using generative artificial intelligence (AI) rather than old-school programming skills, is all the rage in Silicon Valley. But it has a step-sibling. Call it vibe valuing. This is the ability of venture capitalists to conjure up vast valuations for AI startups with scan't regard for old-school spreadsheet measures.

WorkWorkWorkHow Ryan Reynolds Rewrote the Script for Celebrity Entrepreneurs Ryan Reynolds is trying to focus on our conversation. But all he can think about is the script pulled up on his laptop. The screenwriting software Final Draft has frozen so he can't plug in his latest ideas for a project that he has asked me not to share. He reluctantly abandons his computer but can't help but fidget. Reynolds knows he'll only have a few hours later to return to the story before he's on dad duty. I'm obsessive, he says. Even right now I'm thinking what I have after you, and if I can get back to it again. His schedule after our interview is packed: a business meeting; someone is coming to fix Final Draft; then a walk-and-talk with Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy to discuss Levy's upcoming Star Wars movie starring the other Ryan - Gosling.

WorkWorkMAGA's plan for moms comes at a cost For starters, there are lots of kids. There's a dad who works a manufacturing job to provide for them financially. And, according to many influential figures on the right, there's a stay-at-home mom who holds it all together. WorkWorkAs an Angel Investor, Andy Roddick Is Playing the Long Game - Inc (No paywall) One night in May 2020, Andy Roddick found himself on a Zoom doing what so many did at the height of the pandemic: catching up with friends, kicking around half-serious ideas, and, in his words, finding the bottom of a bottle of wine. At some point, Roddick asked the group, What's getting expedited in your world because of all this? One friend, an orthopedic surgeon, started explaining how he was diagnosing injuries over FaceTime. Roddick pressed him. Was it actually effective? Yes, the doctor said. He could diagnose 90 percent of his patients remotely with the right motion tests.
WorkEveryone's Suing Everyone Out East - Curbed (No paywall) In October 2019, Billy Hajek, the East Hampton village planner, inspected a property on a one-lane road running along a narrow strip of land separating Georgica Pond from the ocean. On it sat a shingled vacation house, which dated to a time before strict wetlands regulations and had been built close to the pond, where it had long been hidden by a tangle of tall reeds, swamp bushes, and honeysuckles. Since buying it for $10.3 million, a new owner, the real-estate developer Harry Macklowe, had set about renovating it according to his own tastes. He painted the whole thing even the roof a blistering white. Along the road, he replaced a rustic farm fence and unruly brush with a privet hedge and a neat line of seagrasses, irritating his very wealthy neighbors, who complained about poor drainage. Hajek had come to assess what had been going on behind the privet. What he discovered kicked off a six-year saga of infighting, litigation, and landscaping. The Macklowe house now sits on the market, a white elephant, priced at $32.5 million but because of its zoning violations effectively impossible for its owner to sell. WorkWorkWork

WorkWorkSnake Venom, Urine, and a Quest to Live Forever: Inside a Biohacking Conference Emboldened by MAHA - WIRED (No paywall) I have been pressurized in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber and bathed in flickering gamma-wave light. I have had my electromagnetic field manipulated. I have taken an IV drip of green liquid that looked nearly radioactive. I have been frozen in a cryochamber (and felt amazing afterward) and baked in a one-man, zippable sauna (I didn't). I have eaten more consecutive meals of beef than ever in my life, grinding unrefined Kalahari desert salt over the slabs of fat and protein. I have been told, after a scan, that I have the liver of a newborn baby (this is a good thing). I have caused a woman's jaw to drop by telling her I once took antibiotics. I have pumped my vaccinated fist alongside RFK Jr. fans and stem cell enthusiasts and piss-injectors to the pounding beats of Steve Aoki. WorkWorkHow Bad Is It?: Trump Strikes Iran, and His Base Hits Back - The New Yorker (No paywall) The New Yorker staff writer Andrew Marantz joins Tyler Foggatt for another episode of How Bad Is It?, a monthly series that examines the health of American democracy. They discuss whether the President's recent strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities may threaten his America First coalition, how the threat of war may enable him to consolidate more power domestically, and whether Trump's use of the National Guard to quell protest in Los Angeles is truly undemocratic.

WorkWorkWorkThe unemployment rate for young college graduates worries many economists Young people graduating from college this spring and summer are facing one of the toughest job markets in more than a decade. The unemployment rate for degree holders ages 22 to 27 has reached its highest level in a dozen years, excluding the coronavirus pandemic. Joblessness among that group is higher than the overall unemployment rate, and the gap is larger than it's been in more than three decades. That worries many economists as well as officials at the Federal Reserve because it could be an early sign of trouble for the economy. It suggests businesses are holding off on hiring new workers because of rampant uncertainty stemming from the Trump administration's tariff increases Work
