ANTHROPIC REJECTS PENTAGON'S "FINAL OFFER" IN AI SAFEGUARDS FIGHT - AXIOS

Jack Dorsey just laid off half of his company in a single tweet. 4,000 people gone Not because business is down But because AI made them unnecessary If you aren’t AI native, you have become expendable to execs. You need to learn these skills now: 1. How to build software in Claude Code 2. How to automate in OpenClaw 3. How to create artifacts in Claude Cowork 4. How to orchestrate multiple agents in Codex 5. How to use ChatGPT as a copilot for everything you do These aren’t optional skills anymore. They’re mandatory. And the time you have left to learn them has quickly disappeared.

we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company. #### today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone. first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay. we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly. i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures. a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers. we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold. to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward. to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow. jack

ages 21 to 35 can be tough: you’re dealing with your parents getting older, fewer friends, career stress and self-doubt. stay strong. you’ve got this

I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. Lots of people have asked how I use Claude Code, so I wanted to show off my setup a bit. My setup might be surprisingly vanilla! Claude Code works great out of the box, so I personally don't customize it much. There is no one correct way to use Claude Code: we intentionally build it in a way that you can use it, customize it, and hack it however you like. Each person on the Claude Code team uses it very differently. So, here goes.

Suddenly, you're 27. You make your coffee, rush to work, come home around 7, and you're too tired to do anything except eat, scroll on your phone, and pass out. Then you wake up, and do it all again. And when Friday comes, maybe you go out, or maybe you're just too tired. Then, out of nowhere, it hits you. How did everything pass by so quickly? You don't even feel 27. You still feel like that 17 year old kid who thought they had all the time in the world. But somehow, 10 years just disappeared. And you start missing the past. The feeling of being young, excited, and clueless. But then you realize, one day, you'll miss this, too. Being 25, being confused, being tired, but still trying. So maybe the trick is to slow down a bit and actually live this chapter before it also becomes just another memory. The point is no matter what age you are, you’ll miss these days. Life gets busy sometimes and it’s always a good time to stop and smell the roses.

17 years after the white paper, the Bitcoin network is still operational and more resilient than ever. Bitcoin never shuts down. @SenateDems could learn something from that.

@miragemunny it's cause AWS went down..

unless my tradingview is broken, bitcoin has been trading at the exact same price ($110,697, specifically) for an alarming amount of time this morning

VWAP Time to Vyap about Vwap So what is Vwap? Volume Weighted Average Price VWAP = Cumulative Price x Volume/Cumulative Volume

@Nebraskangooner A friend texted me today too and last time the guy texted btc nuked to 74k..

I haven't talked to this guy in 3 years. Are we doomed or is retail coming to pump our bags?

my take on perp dex situation hyperliquid - still best by a longshot, best 1 stop shop, ui / ux, liquidity, UNIT is a monster (farm it, DO IT), top 3 L1 in crypto with legit teams and defi products (farm those too before its too late), builder codes are powerful, HIP-3 is going to 1.5x-2x revenue, Jeff is 1/1000 builder and a northstar for people, its one of the holy grail crypto products alot of people have waited a decade for lighter - sneaky good, probably the darkhorse (maybe not as much after this week) similar ui / ux, 0% fees matter, especially to retail / medium traders, questions around profitability / tokenomics remain for that exact reason (it makes no money), but its extremely smooth and whaling a scalp into the order book hits different with 0.00% fees (robinhood) aster - ui / ux and user experience needs work, its clunky and slow, tokenomics are nowhere to be found (I would expect similar to HYPE, dont be short when they announce buybacks) BUT it has the #20 richest person on planet earth backing it, an exchange worth hundreds of billions, it has 90% of tokens outstanding to airdrop, you can cry about airdrop farming or whatever all you want, reality is in 2 weeks they will do one of the biggest airdrops in crypto history, and then what if they do another round? and another round? people have been trading on this for 1 week, it will only improve from here in UI / UX, at some point it is what it is, if binance is backing this big time its going to be a major player in this category, they are tired of hearing about SOL / HYPE and this is their move I think this ends up like a binance / bybit / coinbase situation were you have a few large winners, HL maxis think its all or nothing, they will be wrong, the other 100 perp dex sites are a fade as of now, this will be an extremely top heavy vertical as liquidity and users are sticky, thank you for aint reading all that
