i think the most interesting AI products won’t feel like chatbots, they’ll feel like little worlds that understand what you’re trying to do i’m building weird demos, game tools, agent workflows, and small attempts to make the future feel less like a text box

@AxolotlAxolittl @flowersslop wasn’t aware we needed a jira benchmark for models

@dotgil @flowersslop that's not what METR measures.

thats crazy

frontier models may get expensive enough that training them becomes a consortium problem google, meta, microsoft, amazon, governments, whoever once the price tag gets close to $1t, the question becomes who can even afford to build the next one alone

@metapreston everything, including the spooky spot over there?

Everything, everywhere is design

@emmajo i mean, kinda though, right? surprised no one’s asked

@dotgil lolll

and for the lady, 3 coffees 4 hours of social media, and the weight of the world on an empty stomach?

@dharmesh @bchesky i’d actually be interested in a headless airbnb

I'm with @bchesky on this one. I think the future is not about apps, but about agents. But the shift to agents doesn't necessarily mean text-forward, chat-based UIs. That makes sense for some use cases -- but not all. The future is about agents that work on your behalf, often in the background, and let you interact in ways that make sense. Sometimes, that means typing text, but others it might be a personalized UI element. UI affordances are underrated. Sometimes humans need some guidance and nudges instead of an empty prompt box. I think hybrid agentic interfaces will be the future. And it's not just about B2C. Turns out, B2B users are people too. :)

@Aryvyo ++ it’s insufferable, just do better chat

please god stop trying to make these things relatable or personable its so disgusting

@aashatwt why does it already look better than the metaverse?

day 1 of building an anime world for ai agents

@signulll my wife would absolutely greenlight this romcom

this woman doesn’t need a matchmaker. she needs to accidentally book the wrong airbnb in a mountain town called pine hollow. it’s december. there’s one coffee shop, one christmas tree farm, & one emotionally unavailable man named jake who owns a struggling bookstore despite somehow having perfect stubble, a golden retriever, & unresolved grief from a fiancee who left him for a private equity guy in denver. she arrives in a black suv, wearing a cashmere coat, trying to take a “clarity weekend” before interviewing $80k/year matchmakers in nyc. the town hates her immediately because she asks if they have oat milk. jake says, “we have milk.” she says, “from what?” tension. then a snowstorm hits. her flight gets canceled. her phone dies. the only place with wifi is jake’s bookstore, which is called “second chances”. over the next 4 days, she helps him realize the store doesn’t need to close, it just needs a better merchandising strategy, a paid newsletter, & a tasteful espresso machine. he teaches her how to chop firewood, slow down, & pronounce “community” like it isn’t a fund thesis. by day 5, she has accidentally saved the town’s winter festival. by day 6, she is wearing flannel. by day 7, the high end matchmaker calls with “an incredible candidate” who is 42, divorced, skis, runs a family office, says he’s “emotionally available,” lives in tribeca, has 3 phones. she looks across the bookstore at jake reading to local kids while his dog sleeps under a table. she says, “i’m going to pass.” cut to one year later & she has opened a bookstore wine bar called “due diligence.” jake still owns the original bookstore because hallmark cannot handle cap table complexity. she’s pregnant with twins. the golden retriever has a red bow. the matchmaker sends a christmas card. “turns out the best match was the one not in the database.” roll credits.

@a16z notably, codex has no obvious branded cowork feature yet since it’s still branded more toward engineers it’ll be incredible when the business switch actually happens

Codex installs spiked last week Charts of the Week: a16z.news/p/charts-of-th…

@brockpierson well, only got an hour of daylight left, better get started.

Hello Is there anybody out there?

@ThePrimeagen also to this day, literally have no idea how finder works

without googling, i still cannot figure out how to copy and paste on a mac into: 1. the provided Terminal app (which sucks) 2. Ghostty. C-V does nothing, C-v goes into escape insertion (expected). I refuse to google this and it should just be obvious...

@sama the awful writing please

what would you most like to see improve in our next model?

@djcows this guy gets it

the best way to succeed is to become successful

@SaidAitmbarek everyone on this app is trying to build some marketing ai thing

I’d love to interact with more founders and builders. In particular interested in AI for marketing & growth, agent frameworks, dev. tooling, marketplaces, consumer apps + robots. If you’re building in this space, what’s your current focus?

@RayFernando1337 what does openclaw do here, order a salad when your blood sugar spikes?

I heard there is an api that can let me tap into the health data. I stopped wearing my Apple Watch because it was a huge distraction in my life. This product seems promising to hook up to my OpenClaw.

@bindureddy $80b with 60%+ yoy growth in cloud, pretty sure they’ll be ok

Google I/O will be a critical point in the evolution of the company Either Gemini models deliver on multiple fronts….. Or Google becomes a data center and compute seller 😲

@ankkala Reddit walked so Claude could hill climb

what makes claude claude?
