Most things that cause me anxiety are coordination problems.

regardless of how you feel about Bernie Sanders, this is such a great idea for a video: youtube.com/watch?v=h3AtWd…

@DevDad @cursor_ai by "most people", do you mean "me, I'm talking about myself and my biases"?

@cursor_ai Most people are on mobile now a days surprised there isn’t an app yet

Composer 2 is now available in Cursor.

@marcxdlc well, good thing i was in the kitchen

@f cooked

this just happened: I walked into my kitchen and my brain goes, in quick succession: "I need to clean this; no I don't, I'll have Claude do it; wait; oh no" I am fried.

@goncalossilva @playdate @todoist @MichaelMofina holy shit. @MichaelMofina this is god-tier 👏

Who would've thought @playdate needed a @todoist client? @MichaelMofina did, and it's BRILLIANT. Crank to complete is *peak* UX.

@AISafetyMemes Fascinating that not for a second did it occur to both Marc and the interviewer that "I like building Walmart" pretty much defines introspection. Know what to do *requires* introspection. Our world view shapes how we act. We are truly in the "you can just say things" era.

Imagine being *proud* to admit you have zero introspection

@TheStalwart I found a photo of those 2 people.

Someone else told me this too recently. So that’s two people.

@aidan_mclau @RepCasar maybe this strikes the right chord: if someone targeted you because they inferred your politics and ethics, salary through your views (and maybe even your employer’s - because hey, we’ve done it for thousands of years), would you be okay with it? Where do we draw the line?

@aidan_mclau @RepCasar none of those examples involve profiling individuals.

This is called ‘surveillance pricing.’ It should be illegal. I have a bill to ban it. x.com/washingtonian/…

@aidan_mclau @RepCasar legality can be discussed, but you don’t find it scary that they’re profiling their readers? Because sure, rich people paying more is fine, but the profiling is not. If you can’t get rich people to give you more money for your product, why not rethink the product?

@RepCasar why should it be illegal?

@turbo_xo_ @bcherny 👇

@bcherny yet you took voice input out of web and desktop?

Update: this is now rolled out to 100% of users

@__roycohen @badlogicgames They’re mostly compatible with Gemini being the most different. Pretty much every provider uses an OpenAI-compatible API.

@badlogicgames The AI providers, the amount of complexity to sustain different architectures is a lot of work.

People of pi. Happy pi day.

@liran_tal this is from Superintelligence, right? I agree that the singleton model seems farfetched, from a human-in-the-lead perspective. But a superintelligent AI desiring a singleton? I still see that as a possibility.

Not buying the AI Superintelligence singleton scenario. Not enough motivation. Too many players. Information wants to be free.

@StockPuppet @deanwball point me to the regulatory capture strategy, if you will.

@deanwball Anthropic had a regulatory capture strategy that is despised. They were driving FUD and helping craft Biden era regulation that would benefit them.

I think I finally put my finger on what shocks me so much about the so-called New Tech Right’s willingness to throw Anthropic under the bus and ultimately it is the abandonment of merit. Silicon Valley was once defined by “the best wins, absolutely,” but no longer for they who affiliate with the New Tech Right. For them, “the tribe wins, absolutely.” The merit value was like, their thing. Remember the summer of 2024 and the DEI posting? Where did that go? I never expected these guys to be political theorists or philosophers but I didn’t expect them to abandon that principle so readily, to throw it out the window in favor of chasing taxpayer-funded equity infusions and contracts that are piddling even by the standards of the MIC. DC may well be the toughest U.S. city of them all. It chews up and spits out all kinds of meat.

It's amazing what happens to my mind when I read about the universe. I love how it makes all of my problems seem trivial and elevates my aspirations to unimaginable things.

@deepfates @DynamicWebPaige @omnimagazine I assume this friend wasn’t an octopus

@DynamicWebPaige @omnimagazine This actually happened to. a friend of mine

vintage computer magazines really just let you publish whatever marine biology fanfiction you wanted, huh losing my mind at the parenthetical (one of eight)

sick opportunity for the right people: - great product - clear deadline - exciting framing

a good start! anthropic.com/news/the-anthr…

hear me out: ultrathink, but for society

New AI in Context video, on the New York Times Bestseller If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies, and imo it's a banger. Featuring @deanwball , @RepBillFoster and @dwarkesh_sp
