The perfect UI for "AI summary" should be similar to "pinch to zoom": pinch a long-form text on the phone or touchpad and give me the AI summary

$2bn seed round, putting in a money market account at a 4% APY. That makes Thinking Machines Lab a $80M ARR company already. Founders, what stops you from doing this?
Thinking Machines Lab exists to empower humanity through advancing collaborative general intelligence. We're building multimodal AI that works with how you naturally interact with the world - through conversation, through sight, through the messy way we collaborate. We're…
Was talking to my Asian mom over the phone, she asked me why I didn't become a doctor, a lawyer, or Soham Parekh.
If Soham Parekh has not applied for a job at your company, your AI startup is ngmi. sorry I don't make the rules.
One theme that has really stood out to me in this latest wave of consumer M&A capital efficiency measured by MOIC (exit value / total capital invested) This is a feature, not a bug of CPG. For example, Wiz - acquired by google in the largest tech deal of the year for $32B &…
Startup is a grind. Many founders would have walked away on year 4 or 5 in this situation, and missed out on the generational opportunity.

Congrats @arshdilbagi on this launch!!
Most AI products fail in the first month. Not bad AI. Bad prompts. Teams at Discord, McKinsey, Salesforce, DoorDash, Reforge, and over 100K+ developers using us know why: Teams wing their prompts – test on 5 examples, ship to millions, pray it works. Today changes everything.
The new iPadOS 26 update is absolutely amazing. Feel like working on my MacBook.
Almost two years since the first commit... the db version finally merged into master. Congrats @logseq team, can't wait to try it out soon.

LOVE this new product launch from @ColumnTax, built from real operational experience. Time to bring innovation to a century-old problem.
1/ Tax is a special domain: it requires 100% correctness (you don’t want to compute someone’s taxes incorrectly!) So we’ve had to build lots of custom infrastructure to deploy AI agents. It’s working. We’re now able to build our tax engine much faster than traditional methods:
Just ordered a bunch of new Kanmon-branded merch on Wayo (thewayo.com), this is hands down the best experience and best bang for the buck. I just submitted our logo and let the AI agent did all the work from designing to placing orders. Highly recommend!!!
My new fintech thesis just dropped: rent a citizenship >> rent a bank charter
New GOP reconciliation bill adds a 5% tax on remittances sent abroad—unless the sender is a verified U.S. citizen. Citizens can claim it back as a tax credit. Aimed at curbing untaxed foreign transfers. Source: waysandmeans.house.gov/wp-content/upl…
AI features can be a great wedge to break into industries that have extremely long sales cycles, high switching costs and low propensity to pay.

I just pulled an emergency meeting with all the investors on my cap table and asked them why they were not on the @BusinessInsider The Seed 100 list. Need to have more regular meetings until things are improved.
