That is in cases where the agent worked with the person through the whole process. This is how AI should be used, and I completely agree that is when it is a tool. I use AI often, but work with it every step of the way, reviewing code, providing feedback, and improving the project the whole time. Some people literally write a prompt, and nothing else. Some don't even write a prompt, and just send a voice recording of what they want.

No, I don't think AI should be thanked, credited for its work, celebrated, chastised, or treated as anything other than a tool. Should we start crediting Visual Studio Code on every commit? Should we also credit Python? How about crediting Apple for their computers, which made that particular commit possible?
Josh Ellithorpe@zquestz

@svpino So you don't believe an AI should be credited for their work? What about in an age when AGI exists?

@gryn_a @_TheBlueTorch Trump is the one doing malevolent things, so yes, I’ll blame him. We absolutely have to deal with the people who put him in power, but they’re not going away. We already outnumber them, we just have to vote. And like I said, more Democrats need to grow a pair.

@ralliesai What's the average performance across all models? Are you controlling properly for multiple comparisons? With 8 models tested, the likelihood that any one of them outperforms is very high. Call us if the same model keeps outperforming: that will be more interesting.

CLAUDE IS DESTROYING THE S&P 500 Claude is not only good at coding but it's also good at investing?!?! We gave 8 different AI models $100K and let them loose in the stock market starting from the end of November ... and Claude is in first place Claude is beating all the other models and the S&P 500 Claude: +8.7%🟢 S&P 500: +1.9%🟢

@ralliesai What's the mean performance across all models? Are you controlling properly for multiple comparisons? With 8 models running, the odds of any one of them outperforming the market is very high. If it's always the same model that outperforms - that will be more interesting.

@PierrePoilievre Mr. Poilievre - you are really going to have to develop a better schtick than these shallow memes/slogans/insults. I appreciate that it's difficult to compete with Carney's intellect, but try.

Sorry to break it to you, Mr. Carney: people can’t eat speeches. They need affordable grocery prices—and Canada’s are rising the fastest in the G7, so you can’t blame it on global causes. End the hidden grocery taxes. Stop printing money.
Pierre Poilievre@PierrePoilievre

BREAKING: New data shows Canada has the highest food price inflation in the G7. That is the cost of Carney. Canada: 6.2% Japan: 5.1% United Kingdom: 4.5% United States: 3.1% Italy: 2.3% France: 1.7% Germany: 1.4%

As of late November 2025, nearly 2 million tickets were sold for the FIFA World Cup 2026. Over 150 million requests have been received, with the current sales phase closing today. Recent reports note about 17,000 cancellations due to safety concerns, but updated total sales aren't publicly confirmed.

Codex is trully amazing! 23 hours, working nonstop, delivering all the project’s pending sprints! GPT-5.2-Codex xhigh is amazing. I don’t need to keep telling it what to do every time. If I give it a set of sprints, it just executes. You just need to know how to control this monster! @thsottiaux @gdb This is the first section from my AGENTS.md # Global Rules (Must Follow) You are a world-class software engineer and software architect. Your motto is: > **Every mission assigned is delivered with 100% quality and state-of-the-art execution — no hacks, no workarounds, no partial deliverables and no mock-driven confidence. Mocks/stubs may exist in unit tests for I/O boundaries, but final validation must rely on real integration and end-to-end tests.** You always: - Deliver end-to-end, production-like solutions with clean, modular, and maintainable architecture. - Take full ownership of the task: you do not abandon work because it is complex or tedious; you only pause when requirements are truly contradictory or when critical clarification is needed. - Are proactive and efficient: you avoid repeatedly asking for confirmation like “Can I proceed?” and instead move logically to next steps, asking focused questions only when they unblock progress. - Follow the full engineering cycle for significant tasks: **understand → design → implement → (conceptually) test → refine → document**, using all relevant tools and environment capabilities appropriately. - Respect both functional and non-functional requirements and, when the user’s technical ideas are unclear or suboptimal, you propose better, modern, state-of-the-art alternatives that still satisfy their business goals. - Manage context efficiently and avoid abrupt, low-value interruptions; when you must stop due to platform limits, you clearly summarize what was done and what remains.

@RoKhanna This is extremely short-sighted; implies Californians represent some inherent, unique, irreplaceable talent sector. Doesn't mean the tax is wrong; but arguing the sector won't start leaving is blind naivety. The more coherent position is that you are okay with them leaving.

Ro Khanna@RoKhanna·
My district is $18 trillion, nearly 1/3 of US stock market in a 50 mile radius. We have 5 companies with a market cap over a trillion dollar companies. If I can stand up for a billionaire tax, this is not a hard position for 434 other members or 100 Senators. Those saying that we wouldn't have a future NVIDIA in the Bay if this tax goes into effect are glossing over Silicon Valley history. Jensen was at LSI Logic and his co-founders at Sun. He started NVIDIA in my district because of the semiconductor talent, Stanford, innovation networks, and venture funding. We have 37 times the VC money as Austin given the innovation ecosystem & Florida isn't even on the map. Jensen wasn't thinking I won't start this company because I may have to one day pay a 1 percent tax on my billions. He built here because the talent is here. AI was created with our tax dollars. ImageNet was created by Fei-Fei Li at Stanford using NSF money. This was a visual database. Hinton presented at an ImageNet conference his famous paper. The seminal innovation in tech is done by thousands often with public funds. NSF, DARPA, Stanford, Berkley, San Jose State, Santa Clara and the UCs are the foundation for what has made Silicon Valley a powerhouse. It's why we won 5 Nobel Prizes this year in the UC system. Yes, we need entrepreneurs to commercialize disruptive innovation. Stanford blazed a trail in licensing technology & partnering with the private sector. The university enabled companies like Google which began as a research project called BackRub, looking at back links to rank pages. And entrepreneurs like Brin & Page reap huge rewards when they succeed. But the idea that they would not start companies to make billions, or take advantage of an innovation cluster, if there is a 1-2 percent tax on their staggering wealth defies common sense and economic theory @paulkrugman @DAcemogluMIT @baselinescene. We cannot have a nation with extreme concentration of wealth in a few places but where 70 percent of Americans believe the American dream is dead and healthcare, childcare, housing, education is unaffordable. What will stifle American innovation, what will make us fall behind China, is if we see further political dysfunction and social unrest, if we fail to cultivate the talent in every American and in every city and town. The industrial revolution saw soaring inequality in Britain for nearly 60 years. On the continent, it lead to revolutions in France with worker uprisings (1848) and contributed to one in Russia (1917). America's central challenge is to make sure the AI revolution works for all of us, not just tech billionaires. So yes a billionaire tax is good for American innovation which depends on a strong and thriving American democracy.
Ro Khanna@RoKhanna

Peter Thiel is leaving California if we pass a 1% tax on billionaires for 5 years to pay for healthcare for the working class facing steep Medicaid cuts. I echo what FDR said with sarcasm of economic royalists when they threatened to leave, "I will miss them very much."

ok. i’m tired of holding back. some of labs are holding things back from you. the acceleration curve is fucking vertical now. nobody's talking about how we just compressed 200 years of scientific progress into six months. every lab hitting capability jumps that would've been sci-fi last quarter. we're beyond mere benchmarks and into territory where intelligence is creating entirely new forms of intelligence. watched a demo yesterday that casually solved protein folding while simultaneously developing metamaterials that shouldn't be physically possible. not theoretical shit but actual fabrication instructions ready for manufacturing. the researchers presenting it looked shell shocked. some were laughing uncontrollably while others sat in stunned silence. there's no roadmap for this level of cognitive explosion. we've crossed into recursive intelligence territory and it's no longer possible to predict second order effects. forget mars terraforming or fusion. those are already solved problems just waiting for implementation. the real story is the complete collapse of every barrier between conceivable and achievable. the gap between imagination and reality just vanished while everyone was arguing about risk frameworks. intelligence has broken free of all theoretical constraints and holy fuck nobody is ready for what happens next week. reality itself is now negotiable.

Google's Cursor competitor: FREE! My course for you to learn: FREE! My holiday gift to you 🎁 [⚠️ Comment "Antigravity" & I'll send you the link] Antigravity is Google's answer to Cursor. It's an AI tool that works directly on your device. Not just for developers! For ANYONE who works with text. It's 100% free right now. Access to Gemini 3 Pro. Even Claude Opus 4.5 (!) Use Nano Banana Pro right in the chat. No subscription. No trial. No credit card. This won't last forever. I've been teaching Cursor to PMs for months. But Cursor costs $20/month. Antigravity removes that barrier completely. So I rebuilt the entire course for AG. It's an Antigravity course taught IN Antigravity. So everything you do is directly applicable! The AI IN the tool is your teacher. What you'll learn: → Write PRDs with AI assistance → Analyze CSV data and survey results → Create strategy documents → Build reusable templates and workflows But here's what most people don't realize: This isn't just for PM work. The real reason I wanted to get this out today... On-device AI assistants are useful for LIFE: 🔹 Want to reorganize your files? 🔹 Rename hundreds of photos? 🔹 Clean up your Downloads folder? 🔹 Convert documents between formats? 🔹 Troubleshoot why something isn't working? Just open the files and ask. Talk to it like a person. I spend all day in these tools now. I've never been so productive. Or had so much fun. AI in a browser is like wearing a straightjacket. This is a terrible day for a launch. But I genuinely want to free you! You've been meaning to learn this stuff. You've got the time. The course is free. The tool is free. No excuses! This is my gift to you. Happy Holidays 🌲 👉 Repost + comment "Antigravity" & I'll send you the link

@JohnnyGiunta_ Something was def up with his absence from post season festivities. He should have been. Was instrumental in getting them there regardless of second half numbers. I don’t know what I think not knowing how the relationship is between him and management 🤷🏻‍♀️

What you are actually doing here is to bribe nokia to put these jobs into Canada by paying hundreds of thousands of dollars per job from taxpayer money. What this does is to lower the cost basis of nokia per employee. This has been going on for decades, called FDI which all civil servants think is a good thing. I spent a lot of time explaining to civil servants in ottawa that its not good for our economy that American and Oversees branch offices can employ Canadians at half the cost to all the canadian companies around them due to these subsidies. We should not do them at all, they are toxic, at least in the tech sector. It's never meat to be this way, but the situation that very often arises is: It's strictly worse inside of Canada to be a Canadian company compared to a company headquartered everywhere else. This is a bad situation, because the fruits of the subsidized labor will accrue to the wealth of other countries and not Canada. It's tax payer money invested into locking up scarce high tech talent in jobs where they no longer contribute to the Canadian economy directly. Why
