Flo Crivello: Feel Like a Team Again With Teamflow, Your Own Virtual Office. Teamflow is a virtual office for remote teams. It recreates the casual, unplanned chats and the seamless collaboration that people miss from physical offices. (more)
Samo Burja: Functional Institutions are the Exception. Within nearly every institution larger than a dozen people, insiders feel resigned about how hard it is to get things done.

Zvi Mowshowitz: AI #119: Goodbye AISI? AISI is being rebranded highly non-confusingly as CAISI. Is it the end of AISI and a huge disaster, or a tactical renaming to calm certain people down? Hard to tell. It could go either way. (more)
Ben Hunt: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Deficit. In narrative-world, the House passage of the Big Beautiful Bill and Elon Musk stepping back from DOGE and the White House have had a clear result: no one believes that this administration has any ability (and probably not any real desire) to control explosive growth in the federal deficit.
