4:19 of me trying to persuade sceptics to embrace AI. And offering to help anyone that’s struggling. What did I miss? Thanks @MarketScale 🙏 marketscale.com/industries/sof…
An AI just saved me an hour of hassle chasing down a lost parcel. It spoke to three different people across three different companies to get to a resolution. Thanks @PineAiCallAgent
A character heavily reliant on the advice of an AI, but who passionately believes humans shouldn’t be taken out of the decision-making loop. Sounds familiar! Great book
Whoo-hoo, THE SYSTEM is out now! Here's its origin story... The world you live in is just a sugar-coated topping. There is another world beneath it. The real world. —Blade. Before going on to make a living as a novelist, I spent three years in a covert position in the CIA. At…
I ran Claude Code yesterday for a few hours on and off. Nothing insane. $133 in costs … had I used the API, but $3 for me via Max ($100/30). Not sustainable for them. Great deal for users!
Weekly limits coming to Claude Code plans soon? 👀
Claude Code in the cloud. With automations. LOVE this!
If you use Claude Code, you know it's a force multiplier. But if you're still juggling terminals and worktrees, you're doing things the hard way. Say 🍃 to Terragon, a developer tool that lets you run parallel Claude Code agents in the cloud, now free in beta.
Maybe a hot take but cheaters can't be trusted not only romantically but as friends/business partners too. If they can be that disloyal to the most important person in their life, their moral character is severely corrupt and that will bleed into every aspect of their life too.

i wish i had an agent to help me book a flight or order food, two activities i often need help with
I'm also noticing an unfortunate pattern whereby people who are given advanced access to OpenAI features write massively overwhelmingly positive reviews. There are rare exceptions to this case
I really hate to say it but this failed at the three different tasks I gave it. I had high hopes. I’ll not use it again. A nice glimpse at the future. But normally useful. Yet.

This is … pretty bad
I replicated this result, that Grok focuses nearly entirely on finding out what Elon thinks in order to align with that, on a fresh Grok 4 chat with no custom instructions. grok.com/share/c2hhcmQt…
“Electric dynamos were "everywhere but in the productivity statistics" for nearly 40 years after Edison's first central generating station … What eventually allowed gains to be realized was redesigning the entire layout of factories around the logic of production lines [plus]…
After we invented the dynamo, it took us 40 years to electrify factories. In the process, we had to redesign the entire factory layout — electrifying existing factories didn't cut it. Software engineering will likewise need to undergo drastic changes to truly benefit from AI.…
I love this theory …
Sounds reasonable. And I think there's another effect at play: we humans are wired to conserve energy and avoid work where possible. So when we adopt a new labour-saving device, we adjust our own effort to more-or-less reach the same results as before, only with less effort.
This would at least implicitly require some concept of “hate speech” which I’m not sure xAI have ever expressed that they have and to which I’m pretty sure Elon Musk is ideologically opposed in principle
