This is the single best product idea I've ever heard on this site.
Twitter needs a Gen X section where nobody gets their feelings hurt.
I bet there are a lot bigger teams than that.
Somewhere in the world there’s probably an entire team of 6 devs, working full time on a project that’s just one Claude Code prompt
Well, once again we collectively changed the time on our clock for absolutely no good reason or purpose. Alien civilizations can't make first contact until we end this nonsense, we simply can't be taken seriously as a civilization.

The Steelers are better without DK. Stop the madness.
DK Metcalf is just not good, man. Horrible, horrible play.
Ultimately, our jobs are about protecting life and property.
The Pagosa Springs flood is a serious threat to both.
Please follow all evacuations and take all precautions necessary, and I'd probably encourage you to plan to avoid the area for the next few days.

I can't prove it, but I'm certain the rise of IPAs ruined pretty much everything.
Tomlin keeping warren on the bench so Najee could run into the line for 1.3 yards per play was criminal. #Steelers#
Who browses the web anymore? I go to like the same 5 sites.
It's mid-October and the hornets are still active. Pah.
This.
Surround yourself with people who see a flying car and say, "Awesome!"
Not people who see a flying car and say, "It's not actually flying" or "I don't see the point."
This post is not about cars :)
This. Karl Benz and the Wright Brothers were mocked too.
If you've got a big idea, pursue it. Chase it. Know the people that are pointing fingers and laughing at you simply don't have an idea to pursue, and lift themselves up by putting you down.
“Big ideas are so hard to recognize, so fragile, so easy to kill. Don’t forget that, all of you who don’t have them.”

It’s the exact same use case as launching the old roadster into solar orbit near Mars. It’s sheer audacity. It is an example of what we can do, and more than that, what we can _afford_ to do. It is youthful exuberance and power in full display. It is a message to the rest of the world: “You can’t catch us.”
Cue: We are the champions.

The #Steelers# don't have a single, playable, ILB on their roster.
I don't know anyone saying they want AI to replace employees. Any serious business understands the opportunity to grow the business faster than ever before, and for most, that requires a combination of people and AI.
If you have a business model that just needs AI, you don't have a business model.

I haven't heard a single person that runs a business say 'AI is great because now my existing employees can produce 10x more'.
I have heard a lot of them say 'AI is great, soon I will be able to fire most of my staff and replace them with AI agents I control myself.'
You have to understand that hiring employees is a necessary evil for business owners, they don't do it out of the good of their hearts.
They would much rather work with their core crew of 5 killers, each wrangling infinite superintelligent agents, than deal with Greg from marketing's 15th sick day of the year or Sally from HR's complaint about not enough workplace diversity.
For all of economic history increasing production has required increasing human labour.
Even over the past few decades, technology has acted as a partial substitute but not a full substitute.
AI breaks this link between production and human labour, meaning GDP can rise without an increase in employment required.

Sunset in the hood looks like it might be good tonight. The Trees are near peak too. Time to blow the dust off the camera. #LandscapePhotography#
People who believe melted sand is human are taking us down a bad path.
Our tour guide at Tesla Gigafactory yesterday told me workers aren’t worried about training their replacements.
Workers are walking around with weird contraptions (think something like a VR headset) to do the training for Optimus.
In Texas and California.
In robotics it is the one who has the most data that wins. People aren’t thinking about this huge advantage Tesla has in robotics.
He said they are planning major job expansions because of Optimus. Already 20,000 work there.
AI got a lot of people laid off, right? So why is there traffic everywhere in America?
In Silicon Valley when they got laid off they didn’t get on the freeway at 7 a.m. (back in 2001 the freeways were empty).
My thesis is we are about to see a job boom and increased salaries.
So many new things to build.

"Today at Google Cloud’s Gemini at Work event, we announced Gemini" - I've read it several times, and it just doesn't make sense.
Today at Google Cloud’s Gemini at Work event, we announced Gemini, a new single universal agent for work that has all of your business context and can be used for everything from knowledge work to answering questions, and content creation to coding, all from a single prompt box.
It’s built around core architectural principles:
☑️ Unified Agent: Gemini can answer questions, do knowledge work and generate code from a single prompt box.
☑️Access: Gemini is web-based and can be accessed from any device and integrated into third-party applications. It can also operate without a dedicated user interface.
☑️Persistent Execution: It runs in the cloud, which means it maintains a single set of memories, context and one personalization graph no matter where you access it.
☑️Multi-Agent Orchestration: Gemini can create sub-agents to tackle multi-step tasks and can also act as a coworker agent with a defined role and its own dedicated identity
☑️Context: Gemini knows your tools, data, and work history and learns how you work the more you use it.
☑️Model Choice Flexibility: It orchestrates across multiple models to deliver optimal quality and lower your costs.

The beginning of the end almost always starts with some out-of-their-element executive saying "We have to protect our business model!" instead of "We have to do what's right for our customer!"
Amazon banning agents is the first opportunity I've seen since Amazon was founded for a startup to create an Amazon competitor. People will want agents to buy stuff for them. It will be one of the main use cases. And they won't want to use some Amazon-supplied agent to do it.

MS Teams is a pox on humanity. I said what I said.
If you grew up in my era, you didn’t skip the HBO movie opener. You watched that little neighborhood come alive, blasted into space, and somehow knew whatever came next was going to be GOOD.

Agree. It should be on every post, and it should be the country of origin of the account, not where they are posting from.
Foreigners and the third world coming online and joining our political conversations has radicalized the algorithm - and made US politics dumber and more hateful, on both sides. It’s a major problem.
