Founders: I’m curious—what’s one process or tool your company added that actually made things slower?

Complexity creeps in quietly. You add people. You add roles. You add tools. And suddenly, a small company starts operating like a giant one. Sometimes progress isn’t hiring more or adding another platform. It’s removing enough so the team can move again.

The bigger our team got, the slower we became. Not because anyone wasn’t working hard. But because we had quietly built a complex web of people, roles, and processes. We had multiple specialized teams and pods. On paper, this should have been speed incarnate. In reality?

@sama Thank you for giving me no doubt that you are a war mongering pos. Good bye 👋

Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome. AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement. We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only. We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements. We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.

@paulg @paulg you need to band with those who aren’t afraid to speak out because your voices together will be stronger. Like @amasad - I don’t know anyone else sorry lol 😆

He's right you know. How bad do things have to get before you say something?

@amasad الله خليكم لبعض

Growing up in Jordan, my brothers and I were huge NBA fans, especially Shaq. We rarely had games on TV, so we learned the NBA from basketball cards and worn-out VHS tapes. After seeing my videos with Shaq, my brother sent me this beautiful note. I hope it inspires you too:

@_iamblakeley But her answer sucked. She fed into the propaganda without even realizing it

This is such a lazy bad faith attack. She didn’t say that, she couldn’t finish her point bc Bill Maher is such a racist, hysterical Islamophobe he cut her off to cry about “tHe jiHaDiStS.”

@peeplaja 💯

There is no point running that survey if you're not gonna do anything about the results.

“If Kamala was president I’d be at brunch” is so freaking wildly out of touch and honestly the reason why we are here. If you cant red line genocide you stand for nothing .

@randfish thank you for such a fantastic Sparktogether @sparktoro inspirational conference. Loved all talks but Khalid wanted us to come specifically for @wilreynolds and he didn’t disappoint! And I was literally most excited to see @everywhereist ❤️❤️❤️

@randfish Woot! Looking forward to joining this!

Seattle! C'mon down to SparkTogether tomorrow. The weather's fine. The venue's lovely. The fits are poppin'. sparktoro.com/sparktogether

@Remroum 😢😢

Saleh was just killed in Gaza. There is no rest, no reprieve. An unbelievably cruel world we live in

This @BarackObama tweet will be taught in genocide studies courses as a case study of what dehumanization looks like.
