The President has his finger on the pulse, folks.

The Time Magazine piece on the President has some surprisingly good questioning. And unsurprisingly crummy responses.

Oh no... I agree with the President. ...well, like, the first sentence. The rest is brainrot nonsense.

Anthropic got its intellectual property stolen? Oh, gosh.... sorry to hear. That's.... awful?

A tweet from @AnthropicAI: We’ve identified industrial-scale distillation attacks on our models by DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax.

These labs created over 24,000 fraudulent accounts and generated over 16 million exchanges with Claude, extracting its capabilities to train and improve their own models.

This is a fantastic example of false balance. In an article about administrative review of course materials, the art history professor provides a pretty cogent argument against the Texas approach. But, hey, calm down: the math professor says it won’t affect him and therefore seems fine!

This is some horrific sludge from Alphabet / YoutubeTV. In order to "claim a credit" you have to click a single button. That's it. Nothing else. Why not, you know, automatically apply the credit?

Reason #654 why we need to move past Tom Barrett, my Congressman in the Michigan 7th: although I never signed up for email from him, it still comes. On trying to unsubscribe, I found he has a CAPTCHA. On the unsubscribe. A CAPTCHA. I can't think of a better metaphor for Republicans at the moment.

In a livestreamed Q&A, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman put up this aspirational slide (verbally targeting the year 2028 or so). This is embarrassing. It's laughable. We should be increasingly skeptical and wary that ~$1.4T in near-term investments are directed by a man with such a tenuous grasp on reality.

In his latest post, Sam Altman shows that he is at best irresponsible and at worst a hostage taker. "Let us steal data, use colossal amounts of energy, and generally restructure the world without safeguards or careful thought. You *might* get a cure to cancer!" This is absurd and embarrassing.

I'm fairly sure this type of thing is pretty well covered by [checks notes] THE VERY FIRST AMENDMENT.

Yo... what the f*$# is this? We're just putting Tweet-like ramblings on letterhead now? Here are some of the crimes against punctuation: "Trading Relationship", "TRADE", "extraordinary Economy"... and this gem: "...the many years of Korea's Tariff and Non Tariff, Policies and Trade Barriers..."

Ick. No. No no no. I will not vote for this vision of "leadership" in the future and if politicians are looking to earn (at least my) Michigander trust and vote, they should show some spine.

I see that we are back to exploring the Quantum Nature of Taxation, wherein tariffs are both going away soon as a result of incredible deal-making and are also generating massive ongoing revenue as a way to combat poverty.

The result of that good rotation is the momentum from his body generates power. Furthermore, this momentum compensates for the mobility issues in his shoulders and he gets excellent extension through the ball. And that extension takes the club path to go out-to-in, despite the in-to-out start. (fin)

010

Ben Bushong @benbushong.com · 06/04/2025

But the higher rating for the swing stems from pretty exceptional hip rotation. The President clears his lower left half very nicely, which both shallows the club and allows him to get a little speed even given his relatively low club height at the top of the backswing. 3/

200

Ben Bushong @benbushong.com · 06/04/2025

The reason for his low and inside-out takeaway is limited shoulder mobility or shoulder strength. In order to get depth, the President uses significant rotation. You can see that illustrated here (which is at the top of his backswing). Contrast that to Rory's position (at right) with high arms. 2/

Ben Bushong @benbushong.com · 06/04/2025

Let's talk about the issue people *really* care about: the President's golf swing. Rating: (8.8/10) His unusual takeaway is misleading. He gets into a consistently good impact position for compression. Setup suggests he plays for a fade. ...not the best time to golf but that's for another skeet!
