@jamesflynn_2 @attio @posthog Favorite use cases or agentic flows for Attio?

Very close between @attio and @posthog for the most useful day-to-day agent in our stack

@levie This is exactly what we do at Edra.ai, we build an executable knowledge layer by observing how the work actually gets done, your AI Automation engineers would be prime users! Context is the missing link to drive real automation

As advanced agents move from coding to the rest of knowledge work, it takes a real amount of work and know-how to get right. You need to ensure agents have the right context and data to work with, wire up systems to agents in a safe and secure way, ensure that the agents are producing quality output, design the end-state workflow where and how humans will be in the loop, maintain the agents when there are model and system upgrades, and more. This isn’t a side project or something you can just do on nights and weekends. You need to design and develop robust agents that will be used in mission critical workflows. It’s a highly technical job, very much akin to a forward deployed engineer for internal functions. This is why, at Box, we’re starting to hire for AI automation engineering roles. This a technical role that will partner with the business directly and help augment how they work to drive even more output, and deliver better experiences for employees and ultimately customers. This is just one example of the kind of role that AI will start to open up in the future. I expect most companies will have many flavors of this going forward.

@businessbarista @tenex_labs The team at @island is sharp

Timely request: I want to talk to the smartest builders in cybersecurity. 1) I want to interview them about the state of cyber & how companies can protect themselves against hackers in a post-AI world. 2) We're considering building a cyber practice at @tenex_labs and want to talk to experts as we build it out. Who should I talk to?

@themgmtconsult I don’t know many consultants who know coding

Consultants -> Forward Deployed Engineers The great rebrand of the 2020s

Subway Etiquette: widely known, rarely observed

@levie Challenge is scale, which is exactly the problem Edra.ai solves. Effectively a system that is an FDE in the background, building an executable knowledge layer for agents

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.

@BrianLaManna_ Took 4 months off after Vanta, one of the best summers I’ve ever had

Random thought - if and when I leave Gong, I'd love to do a substantial (2 month min.) break between the next play. Not feeling burnt out or anything. Just think it's a unique time to be 100% off of quota and fully off, off. Extra time to spend with family, friends, do projects, find new hobbies, etc. No plans to leave but nothing is forever.

Going from 1 million tickets -> executable skills is not about storing everything that has ever happened, it's about intelligently synthesizing useful information. We built @edra_ai on top of a new learning paradigm, after seeing this problem years ago while running AI deployments at Palantir. More on how we do it here: x.com/edra_ai/status…

one of the biggest alpha opportunities in early-stage VC is low charisma founders who don't pitch well, don't tweet, don't podcast, but just execute day in day out.

@SilencerGG Same thing happened to me this March

My boy just got permabanned from call of duty and I 100 percent know he wasn’t cheating because he is absolute ass at the game and he wouldn’t buy cheats , he doesn’t play warzone a lot and just simply isn’t good He complained that one day he turned the game on and all his weapons were reset He believes he was hacked and someone used his account. @CallofDuty this is yet another example of that shadow ban system being flawed. Now cheaters are hacking existing accounts and use them to hack and he lost his account over it. He tried to appeal and yall made that the final decision. This is another example that the shadow ban system is flawed

@WZStatsGG I can literally prove I was falsely banned

🚨 ACTIVISION’s STATEMENT ON PERMANENT BANS 🚨 We asked an Activision Representative about the recent ban wave & claims of “False Bans” here’s their response: “If you see a permanent ban, those are given with the most serious considerations and after significant research. It doesn’t matter what excuses people give, there are no false permanent bans”

@shauno250492 @Activision @WZStatsGG I love your meta builds. I have evidence that I was 100% falsely banned. Hacked. Random accounts linked to my user. Then 2 days ago banned

@SCrimmins22 @Activision Exactly same for me. I play once a week at the weekend on Xbox. I have a 0.95kd and someone got into my account and linked a steam and battlenet account, both of which I don't have. Have you made any progress?

When you push the best, they step up When you push the rest, they quit Worth it either way in the end

@Savethebees @kobijaeger @touremanju Could you share the PDF? Eager to read this

@kobijaeger @touremanju I found a PDF converted it to word then used word translate, go to review, which did, except for some instances of mistakes of his and her, a good job. Just finished it, it's a good book

Is “ le mage du kremlin” in English yet? Fascinating book.
