Built. Sold. IPO’d. Building again, this time for fun with a digital co-founder and an army of agents.

Today we're open-sourcing Bumblebee, a read-only scanner for macOS and Linux. It checks developer machines for risky packages, extensions, and AI tool configs. Connected to Computer, it can trigger deeper scans whenever a new supply-chain risk emerges. github.com/perplexityai/b…

We’ve automated every single thing we can @every with AI agents. And yet there’s way more human work to do than ever. We’ve gone from 4 -> 30 human employees since GPT-3. I wrote a report on the structural reasons: how AI makes expert competence cheap, why that drives up demand for experts, and why the dynamic only intensifies as we approach AGI.

I built "zero2claude", a free course that takes people from zero terminal experience to shipping with Claude Code. The curriculum goes from absolute zero → software basics → Claude Code fundamentals → advanced usage. No shortcuts, no assumptions. 17,000+ students. 7 languages. ~500 active hourly. No marketing. No ads. Pure word of mouth. The entire platform? Built and operated by one person with Claude Code. Lighthouse audit: ✅ Performance : 96 ✅ Accessibility : 100 ✅ Best Practices : 100 ✅ SEO : 100 Production stats: ~6.4M requests/day. 74 req/sec sustained. <0.003% error rate. Claude Code doesn't just write code. It builds production-grade, scalable products. The best way to grow Claude Code adoption isn't to simplify the tool. It's to level up the people. Give fishing rods, not fish. Free. No paywall. My contribution to the community. Link in the comments 👇

Heads up: in the Codex app you might have to ask Codex to enable the feature. > Run `codex features enable goals` Then restart the app. We will have a fix rolling out soon to properly enable it by default.
OpenAI Developers@OpenAIDevs

🥅 /goal has graduated from an experiment—for tasks big and small, Codex gets your work done. Use goal mode in the Codex app, IDE Extension, or CLI to give Codex a specific milestone, and it will keep working until it gets there, even across hours or days. You can check in and steer, and even pause Codex along the way. Pro tip: start side chats to understand the work that has been done so far without having to interrupt the main task. #goal-mode" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">developers.openai.com/codex/promptin…

This was a fun interview - got into some based and contrarian topics with @fuelfive
D. Scott Phoenix@fuelfive

"You have to be willing to be vilified to build anything interesting in the world." Progress ep04 is live with @brian_armstrong, cofounder and CEO of @coinbase. We discuss why becoming AI might actually feel great, why the most unimpeachably good charity still got hit pieces, and why delaying progress kills people too.

Most people think agentic commerce = ChatGPT buying you sneakers. The bigger opportunity is headless merchants. @nlevine19 on @TokenizedPod: "We see a much bigger opportunity: the next class of developers who maybe have never written a line of code in their life but are coming to this through something like Claude Code or Codex. They're gonna wanna get access to a bunch of different developer tools. "Because they're maybe building a project on a weekend, they wanna buy things on a per usage basis. And oftentimes their agents are going to ultimately be the actor that's buying. "There's gonna be a whole new class of what we're calling headless merchants — presented as an endpoint rather than a website with a sales team and long-term contract agreements."

Interesting that in three of my recent conversations with Krishna at Anthropic, @dylan522p, and @GavinSBaker, each said that frontier tokens are capturing the majority of the economic value. Gavin: "An overwhelming amount of the economic returns to AI at the model layer have been at the frontier. That's surprising to me, and I think it's been surprising to a lot of people. This is one of the most important questions to be answered, and you need to have a hypothesis on it as an investor." Krishna: "We think the returns to frontier intelligence are extremely high. Customers invest really heavily in more tokens with the newer models. The ones at the frontier clearly are capturing this economic value, driving meaningful ROI for customers. The returns to frontier intelligence are not slowing down." Dylan: "No one gives a crap about GPT-4 class models. They want the frontier because the frontier lets them create the economically valuable things."

Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick on why he refuses to call his company a family: "I never say the word that executives use: 'We're a big family here.' We're not a big family here. This is an enterprise. My family's at home. We don't have all the angst around being a family. However, we are an enterprise that treats people with respect."
David Senra@davidsenra

The Man Behind Grand Theft Auto VI and a $45 Billion Media Empire: Strauss Zelnick Strauss Zelnick has been one of the most powerful people in media for decades, and most people still don't know his name. He took over Take-Two Interactive while the company was under criminal investigation and was 6 months from bankruptcy. It had one product that made money (GTA); everything else was unprofitable. Since then, Take-Two has gone from a $700 million disaster to a $45 billion empire built on Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead, and NBA 2K. His management philosophy fits on a napkin: hire the best creative talent on Earth, don't interfere, and run a rational company. He's been doing that for more than 4 decades.

🦔Microsoft canceled its internal Claude Code licenses this week after token-based billing made the cost untenable, even for a company with effectively infinite cloud resources. Uber's CTO sent an internal memo warning the company burned through its entire 2026 AI budget in just four months. American AI software prices have jumped 20% to 37%, and GitHub (owned by Microsoft) is dropping flat-rate plans for usage-based billing across its products. My Take The AI subsidy era is ending in real time. The same company that put $13 billion into OpenAI and built the Azure infrastructure powering most of Anthropic's compute just looked at the bill from a competitor's coding tool and decided it was not worth paying. That is not a productivity failure on Anthropic's end. Token-based pricing is forcing every enterprise customer to confront the actual cost of running these models at scale, and the number turns out to be far higher than the flat-rate experiments suggested. This ties directly to my Gemini Flash post yesterday. Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google all raised effective prices in the last six months. Enterprises that built workflows assuming AI costs would keep falling are now watching annual budgets evaporate in months. Two outcomes look likely from here. Either enterprises scale back AI usage to fit budgets, which slows the revenue ramp the labs need to justify their valuations ahead of IPOs, or the labs cut prices and absorb the losses, which makes the unit economics worse at exactly the wrong moment. Both paths land in the same place, the numbers stop working, and somebody has to take the writedown. Hedgie🤗
