@blakeir This is the way

i have no idea why or how this happened, but i use ChatGPT for personal and Claude for work.

@aakashgupta Maybe Salesforce needs to figure out how to charge for compute + support. And stop thinking about seats at all.

Benioff just told you per-seat SaaS is dead and the market is still pricing Salesforce like humans log in. Salesforce does nearly $40B a year, almost all of it on per-user licenses from $25/user/month (Starter) up to $550/user/month (Agentforce 1 Sales). The entire revenue model assumes humans click through UIs and need a seat. Headless 360 is the official admission that humans logging in is optional. "Our API is the UI" means agents don't need seats. One agent replaces 20 humans at under 1/20th the cost. Salesforce's own internal deployment shows what comes next. Their Agentforce handled 380,000+ customer support interactions with 84% fully resolved without a human and only 2% requiring escalation. A Salesforce sales engineer reported seeing 10% seat reduction across 90 enterprise accounts today, not hypothetically. Jason Lemkin at SaaStr is already downgrading seat counts across his vendor stack with 12+ agents in production doing work humans used to. This is why Agentforce pricing has whipsawed three times in 18 months. $2/conversation in September 2024 triggered backlash. $0.10/action Flex Credits in May 2025 created predictability problems. Late 2025 they reintroduced seat licenses through AELA at up to $550/user because enterprise buyers wanted budget predictability. Three pricing models running at once tells you Salesforce doesn't know what the unit of value is anymore. Microsoft is betting the other way. They're raising per-seat Copilot prices in July 2026 to capture revenue even as AI cuts headcount, wagering they can raise per-seat faster than customers reduce seats. Salesforce can't credibly run that playbook because Parker Harris just said "why should you ever log into Salesforce again" out loud. The stock still trades on seat economics. The product now explicitly routes around seats. That gap closes the quarter seat count prints negative for the first time.

@unusual_whales There is a time for progressive ideas and a time for pragmatic ideas. The fact is we need energy and Canada has a lot of it in the ground.

Royal Bank of Canada and Bank of Nova Scotia have abandoned plans to reduce the carbon footprint associated with loans to heavy emitters such as oil and gas producers, per Bloomberg.

@DrCameronMurray Improving but definitely not fixed (yet)

Housing affordability seems to be fixed in Canada

@BenRabidoux @danielfoch I mean, how much higher did they think it could potentially go relative to incomes?

Imagine being told in 2016 that if you waited a DECADE, you'd be able to buy this Vancouver property for less money. No chance you would've believe it. We're in a different world today

@WarMonitor3 Freedom is the ultimate political value but true freedom requires addressing inequalities that hinder opportunity, ensuring liberty benefits everyone.

If you were to convince someone of your political ideology left or right in one sentence what would it be?

@planert41 No, that about sums it up

Dads with young kids Is it normal to just feel tired and burnt out all the time? It’s like you don’t even really get the weekend to recover because it’s all just kid stuff the moment you wake up Arguably the only personal time you have is when they nap (and you’re already dead tired by that time) or the hour after they go to bed but before you pass out Just trying to figure out if I’m doing something wrong

@PeterSchiff Without property tax who pays for municipal city services?

Taxing non-income-producing property is wrong. Homeowners should not be forced to work to pay "rent" to the government for the privilege of living in their own homes. Property taxes should only be levied on income-producing property, as the income provides a means to pay the tax.

@0xStones27 @Tradermayne Stormlight starts off so strong with way of kings, but I feel like it gets very formulaic and the writing is quite dull in the latter books

@Tradermayne I’m finishing up the Mistborn trilogy now and was debating what to start next. I was between Red Rising and The Stormlight Archives

I just finished the Red Rising trilogy and, omg, one of the best fiction stories I've ever read. I flew through these three books in under a month. I only wish there was more. What are some other series that you consider on the same level?

@mysterymeat lol poor liberty Village

toronto is the greatest city on earth. but just to be clear, when i say toronto i mean the 25 km² area outlined on this map (sorry east enders)

@bobbyfijan For that to be true, you need to make cities affordable for families.

I believe, strongly, that the most *effective* way get more young people to have kids isn’t by preaching at them or citing dire statistics … it’s for them to just see kids around: Sitting in high chairs at brunch. Playing in the park. Walking to school. It should be thoroughly unremarkable to see parents pushing a stroller And it's *why* it's so important that we make more neighborhoods multi-generational

@MichaelAlbertMD I tolerate the creatine just fine. It’s what I’m wrapping it in! Someone recommended I mix it in with my Greek yogurt, which maybe I’ll give a try

@C_King_Evidence I make shakes. It may help to try a different brand of Micronized Creatine Monohydrate.

Every morning I take five things. A statin. Ezetimibe. Psyllium. Creatine. A multivitamin. Once a week, I add a sixth: tirzepatide. No rapamycin. No NMN. No Bryan Johnson protocol. Here's what the evidence actually says—and why I left everything else out. 🧵

@danielfoch Honestly, if they were just gonna keep listing and delisting, I’d rather them not be in the market at all. I’ve seen properties in the southeast GTA that I’ve been listed 10+ times at different prices across the last two years. Bro, chill.

@lennysan @AnthropicAI Scanning slack/teams to auto detect misalignment is a very interesting idea - privacy concerns aside.

My biggest takeaways from @AnthropicAI's Head of Growth Amol Avasare: 1. Engineering is getting the most AI leverage—and it’s squeezing PMs and designers. With Claude Code, a five-engineer team now produces the output of 15 to 20 engineers. But PM and design productivity haven’t scaled proportionally. The result is a compressed ratio where one PM is effectively managing the output of a much larger engineering team. Anthropic's growth team is responding in two ways: hiring even more PMs (!), and formally deputizing product-minded engineers to act as mini-PMs for any project with less than two weeks of engineering time. 2. Anthropic is using Claude to automate its own growth. The internal initiative is called CASH (Claude Accelerates Sustainable Hypergrowth). It works across four stages: identifying opportunities, building features, testing quality, and analyzing results. Right now it handles copy changes and minor UI tweaks. The win rate is comparable to a junior PM with two to three years of experience, and improving rapidly. 3. The one part of PM work that AI can’t automate yet: getting six people in a room to agree. Amol and his head of design joke that even with AGI, it’ll still be impossible to align six stakeholders. Cross-functional coordination—managing opinions, navigating politics, mediating tradeoffs—remains the bottleneck that AI doesn’t touch for larger projects. This is why Amol believes PM roles aren’t going away, and may actually grow. 4. 60-80% of Anthropic’s growth team's projects have no PRD. For smaller work, kickoffs happen on Slack—messages back and forth with product-minded engineers who can push back and ask the right questions. For larger projects, Amol believes in a proper 30-minute cross-functional kickoff (legal, safeguards, stakeholders) to surface concerns early. 5. Adding friction to onboarding drives growth—if the friction helps users understand why the product is for them. His work Mercury, MasterClass, Calm, and now Anthropic, adding steps to onboarding flows consistently improved conversion. The key: cut annoying friction that doesn’t add value, but add friction that helps users understand why the product is for them. 6. AI companies need to focus on bigger bets, not better A/B tests. Amol’s argument: if your core product value is driven by AI, then the future value is orders of magnitude higher than today’s value, because model capabilities grow exponentially. In that world, micro-optimizations capture a shrinking share of a growing pie. Traditional growth teams do 60% to 70% small optimizations and 20% to 30% big swings. At Anthropic, they flip this ratio. 7. Amol built a weekly AI agent that scans Slack for cross-functional misalignment. Using Cowork with the Slack MCP, he has a scheduled task that looks across his projects and conversations and surfaces areas where teams are about to do overlapping work or pull in different directions. A colleague on the enterprise team already caught major misalignment that would have caused weeks of wasted effort. 8. A traumatic brain injury taught Amol the principle that now drives his work: freedom through constraints. In early 2022, a kick to the head during a Muay Thai sparring session caused a traumatic brain injury. Amol spent nine months off work and months relearning to walk, unable to look at screens or listen to music for more than 20 seconds. He was re-injured a month after joining Mercury and had to take two more months off. He’s still not fully healed. But the constraints—no alcohol, no caffeine, mandatory breaks, daily meditation—have become the habits that let him operate at the intensity Anthropic demands. “The true freedom in life is learning how to be content when you don’t get what you want.”

We now have causally-informative data on the effects of AI scribe adoption on how doctors spend their time. They work well! AI scribes help doctors to spend less time in EHRs and filling out documentation, allowing them to spend more time with patients.

@BenRabidoux Honestly, kind of bullish for Toronto because it means young talent can move there and sustain their lifestyles much more easily.

HST change + new fund buying unsold condos as rentals means a higher share of new condos will enter rental pool This is a big trend to watch. If 75% of condos under construction become rentals, total rental stock across GTA will grow 12% at a time when population is declining
