@mcuban There are already massive economic incentives to optimize, so this is just a tax on American companies that makes foreign models and products more attractive. Along with creating the infrastructure for government to track all AI usage and punish anyone who doesn't report.

If you entire business plan is to spend 80% of your revenue in token spend, you have a problem.

Last week we started an experiment called #1rad. One person R&D team. This one person talks to stake holders and deploys an entire product in production soup to nuts. Requirements -> PRD > Claude Design > engineer FE and BE > write tests > devops > push to prod. I would give it 70% change that it will work perfectly and guts deploy cycles by 10x.

Forward deployed engineers, or equivalent, are about to become one of the most in-demand jobs in tech. And one of the most important functions for AI rollouts. Deploying agents is far more technical of a task than most people realize, often far more involved than deploying software. Software generally works the same way every time, and generally for the past few decades has been updated versions of an existing technology or concept (which basically means easier for the enterprise to update their workflows on a newer system). With agents, you’re actually deploying the equivalent of work output within the enterprise. The customer is effectively using you as a professional services provider for a task, which they expect to get solved nearly end-to-end now. This means you need to actually deeply understand the business process as a vendor, and get the customer from the current to the end state seamlessly. Companies need help figuring out which models will work best for their workflows, they need extensive evals setup often, they need change management support for workflows, they need to get their data setup for the agents, and constant tuning of the agentic system for their process. Massive role in tech now. And another example of the kind of highly technical work that AI is creating.

@AlphaSignalAI This is a really good callout. Very easy to add to any document upload pipeline and eliminate risk early on!

Google released a 1MB AI model that quickly catches malware disguised as PDFs. Magika is an open source file detection system. It doesn't trust file extensions. Instead, it reads the actual content to figure out what a file really is. That means malware disguised as a PDF gets caught. Hidden scripts inside images get flagged. Fake extensions don't fool it. It runs on a single CPU and classifies files in about 5ms. It supports 200+ file types and hits ~99% accuracy across ~100M training samples. It works as: > A Rust command line tool > A Python library via pip > JavaScript and Go bindings Google already uses it across Gmail, Drive, and Safe Browsing. Now anyone can run it locally, scan entire directories, and build it into their own security pipelines.

There are many well documented studies. Indians are known to not be diagnosed for Alzheimer disease. This is correlated to the heavy use of turmeric which is a natural antiseptic that stays in your jaw/mouth post consumption. Turmeric tables/capsules/drinks/shots are not helpful for the same reason.

Alzheimer’s may be linked to gum bacteria, new research shows. Scientists have repeatedly found Porphyromonas gingivalis—the chief bacterium that causes periodontitis—inside the brains of people who died with Alzheimer’s. When researchers deliberately infected mice with this oral bacterium, the animals rapidly developed key Alzheimer’s pathology, including the buildup of amyloid-beta plaques. Perhaps most alarming, the bacteria’s toxic enzymes have been detected in the brains of people showing early Alzheimer’s changes years before memory loss or other symptoms appear, suggesting the infection may quietly initiate damage long in advance. These discoveries have sparked serious interest in new treatment approaches. An experimental drug called COR388 (from the company Cortexyme) has already succeeded in lowering both bacterial load and amyloid-beta levels in preclinical models. Although large human trials are still needed, the evidence is mounting that at least some cases of Alzheimer’s may have an infectious trigger rather than being purely degenerative. [Dominy, S. S., et al. "Porphyromonas gingivalis in Alzheimer’s disease brains: Evidence for disease causation and treatment with small-molecule inhibitors", Science Advances, 5(1), eaau3333]

I invested in a company that uses AI to file your taxes for free They handle all the complexity CPAs charge $3K-5K for: - Unlimited K-1's - Carried interest - Foreign tax credits - Multiple state returns And it's endorsed by the ex-commissioner of the IRS Wanna try it?

Superwhisper's next update might be too powerful to release publicly. The new voice model is so fast at transcription it started finishing sentences users hadn't thought of yet... We even put it in a sandbox and it dictated its way out. It also identified a flaw in the English language that had gone unnoticed for 600 years. Linguists have been informed. Out of an abundance of caution, we are withholding the update until further notice. Sincerely, The Superwhisper Team

Feature vs Product. You have to know where the puck is going to be before launching an entire company. A lot of these companies can be vibe-coded in a few days. In the world of AI, it's probably better to just slow down and understand the landscape a bit before launching entire companies that are just featured in someone else's product.

Brian Armstrong@brian_armstrong·
Steve Wozniak famously went to his boss at HP and said they should build a personal computer. They said no, so he left to found Apple. It’s a lesson for leaders: one "no" shouldn't kill a contrarian but right idea in your company. Twice a year at Coinbase, anyone in the company can pitch a "next bet" idea to a panel of folks. It's structured similar to pitching a handful of venture capitalists internally. If you get any one of them to say yes and fund it, you're green lit. You need ONE yes, not a unanimous yes from everyone in the org structure from you to the CEO (a de facto committee). Lots more goes into this, around capping resourcing on next bets (most are small 2-3 person teams), knowing when to shut them down, or under what revenue/profitability criteria they graduate to regular products. But this is important to having a company that produces repeatable innovation.

The older I get, the more I realize intelligence is overrated. Intelligent people are more likely to overthink, overplan, and overanalyze. They hide behind motion that doesn't create progress. They fear the judgment of others if they're proven wrong. The truth is that intelligence is abundant. Courage is not. The people you admire are the ones who had the courage to act. They aren’t more talented than you. They aren’t smarter than you. They just took action when you didn’t. I often wonder how many extraordinary people wasted their entire lives waiting for permission that never came. Permission isn't granted. It's taken. You get to tap yourself in whenever you want. You can just do things. Courage beats intelligence.

@TukiFromKL Sorry but I disagree. They will just need to enforce testing standards and better environments for testing. The fact that an agent has production access is the issue.

🚨 Do you understand what's happening at Amazon right now? Their own AI coding agent Kiro reportedly "decided" the fastest way to fix a config error was to delete the entire production environment. Gone. A 6-hour outage. 6.3 million orders lost. Amazon's SVP called thousands of engineers into a mandatory meeting this week. Not to discuss strategy. To discuss damage control. Now here's my prediction and I want you to screenshot this: Amazon won't just ban AI-assisted code. They'll make every engineer personally liable for AI-generated code they approve. Other Big Tech will follow within 6 months. Think about what that means. The same companies that fired thousands of engineers to "restructure around AI" are about to tell the remaining ones.. you're now legally responsible for code you didn't write, can't fully understand, and were told to ship faster. Atlassian fired 1,600 people this morning to go all-in on AI. Replit is hiring kids who vibe code. And Amazon, the company that BUILT one of these AI coding agents just watched it nuke production. The vibe coding era isn't ending. But the "move fast and let AI break things" era is about to hit a wall. And that wall is called liability. Companies wanted AI to replace engineers. Now they need engineers to babysit AI. And they already fired the babysitters.

PREDICTION - Amazon will ban all Gen-AI assisted code changes in the coming weeks! More companies will follow..... Be warned - your legacy code base, tech debt and bugs will sky-rocket if you continue to BLINDLY embrace AI
