Skill floor / ceilings are a mental model I've been using to understand what industries are good for AI agents: - Customer support has low floor + low ceiling = great opportunity - Sales has low floor + high ceiling = agents fighting a race to the bottom on pricing - Software…
IN NEWS: @ScrunchAI raises a $15M Series A. We asked Co-Founder & CEO, @chriswandrew, on the AI-driven shopping revolution: "AI is doing the research, citing sources, and we as humans are clicking out to purchase and engage." "Buyer journeys are massively reduced. People are…
At @ScrunchAI we've been building the AI-first customer experience platform. Excited to announce our $15M A round led by @DecibelVC, @MayfieldFund and @homebrew.
So proud of the whole team at E2B on their $21M Series A! The rate of growth in the last 6 months has been absolutely insane 🚀
AI agents are the future—but they're stuck with the infra of the past. Legacy infrastructure is blocking their full potential. We've raised a $21M Series A to unblock them. Here's exactly what agents really need to excel: ⚡ A computer they can quickly boot up 📁 Ability to…
Coming back to Claude Code after 30 mins only to realize you forgot --dangerously-skip-permissions
StarCraft II EWC finals on the TV, 4 Claude Code instances on one screen, live reload dev server on the other. IRL Protossing.
Got a call from 888-358-2405 phone # pretending to be @X Support and trying to steal my account, be careful out there!

This is what I imagine the Claude Code coworking space in my terminal to look like
(1/5) AI is eating search. It will also eat web browsing along the way... ChatGPT handles 2.5B prompts/day and is on track to match Google's daily searches by end of 2026. How do we prep every website for AI-driven search + "headless" browsing?
Today, we at @OpenAI achieved a milestone that many considered years away: gold medal-level performance on the 2025 IMO with a general reasoning LLM—under the same time limits as humans, without tools. As remarkable as that sounds, it’s even more significant than the headline 🧵
1/N I’m excited to share that our latest @OpenAI experimental reasoning LLM has achieved a longstanding grand challenge in AI: gold medal-level performance on the world’s most prestigious math competition—the International Math Olympiad (IMO).

Excited to work with Jmo on CONFSEC and share more publicly! AI workloads are unique as single tenant privacy is very hard to achieve due to GPUs demand and models sizes. CONFSEC allows you to have those guarantees but on shared hardware.
IN NEWS: Confident Security comes out of stealth with $4.2M in funding to launch CONFSEC, an end‑to‑end encrypted AI privacy layer. We spoke with Jonathan Mortensen on data privacy and security concerns: "You're an employee at Pfizer and upload a PDF to OpenAI that describes…
Noam Brown from OpenAI just dropped a truth bomb: "Your fancy AI scaffolds will be washed away by scale" Routers, harnesses, complex agentic systems... all getting replaced by models that just work better out of the box The reasoning models already proved this
Amazing recap of the brainrot pod!
Haven't heard enough about AI video this week? I went on @latentspacepod with @omooretweets and we spilled what's REALLY going on - from where we find so many viral videos to how creators are making money. Starting with the "oh shit" moment for creatives about AI 👇
