“Founder’s office” is the most bs role of all time. It’s either talented people wasting their talent or performative people tryna look tuff

“未来的世界属于懂 Token 的人。” —— 出自一位10岁博主之口。 刚换了 Mac Studio 的他，不是为了打游戏，而是为了“养龙虾”（跑多个 AI Agent 协同工作）。他把复杂的 AI 产业链比作一个大蛋糕，从能源层到应用层，层层剖析。 别觉得小孩在过家家，他讲的“Token 是 AI 时代的硬通货”这个观点，可能比很多专家的报告都接近本质。 这届小孩的 AI 认知已经 Next Level 了，建议大人们反复观看，治治我们的“算力焦虑”。👇

best use of AI

I got married this past weekend so I did what any rational @AnthropicAI employee would do and had Claude Code analyze 12 years of iMessages with my wife, then Claude Design used that data to whip up a website for our guests in just minutes.

Bangalore, is there an AI agent to book cabs & autos? Idgas about your content workflow agents. Give me some real world usage pls.

Well, well, well, Twitter DM requests is on some other trip only!

4 frontier AI models in 5 days. Claude Opus 4.7. GPT-5.5. DeepSeek V4. Grok 4.3. I stopped trying to evaluate them all. I picked 2. Claude for almost everything. Gemini for long docs and Google's data. How are you keeping up?

“we got gta bangalore before…”

good reminder

how so cute ya, @claudeai design

What I told 2,000 future founders in Bengaluru today: 1/ We believe we are at the start of a second wave of Indian companies that will build world-class AI native products for the global market. Emergent and Giga are the model of the future. 2/ Just because a space seems crowded doesn't mean it's too late. Zepto, Emergent, Giga - none were first movers. Second mover advantage is real. 3/ In fact, a good formula for finding startup ideas is to look at ideas that are showing some promise and just execute them better. Execution is everything: if you're an exceptional engineer, and you can build and move faster than your competitors, you'll win. 4/ There is every reason to believe Indian teams can beat US teams building global products. The level of engineering talent here is on a whole different level, and that's the key input. 5/ In the AI era, the best founders are the ones building at the edge of what's technically possible. You need to be experimenting wth the latest models, the latest open source projects. 6/ Stay in the flow of information. Watch the right podcasts, follow the right people on X. With AI changing this fast, you need to know what the smartest builders are thinking. 7/ Most of the best startups don't come from someone explicitly trying to start a company. They start from someone building a project just for fun, or tinkering with a new technology because they are curious. India needs more of this "tinkering" culture - this is how you have novel ideas when technology is shifting quickly. 8/ Founders are getting younger. Aadit was 18 when he started Zepto. The Giga founders were 20 when they came to SF. Young people who can learn very fast have the advantage right now. 9/ The best founders are pushing AI coding to the max. You can now write 20K lines of code / day. One person can do the work that just a year ago would take a 100 person team. The best builders are taking advantage and building at Garry Tan speeds.

Misery dressed up as success. Bitter truth about working, living abroad! In London.

How did Honor, a Chinese smartphone company, make the winning robot in the Beijing Humanoid Half Marathon? Great work from @CRC_8341 and @tphuang: chinaresearchcollective.substack.com/p/honors-auton…

😆😆😆@DanishSait

We need to talk about Lightning (闪电), the winner of the Beijing Yizhuang Humanoid Robot Half Marathon that took place today. Lightning, made by Chinese tech brand Honor, became the world’s first humanoid robot to run a half-marathon distance faster than any human ever has, completing it in 50 minutes and 26 seconds (the human record: 56:42). But I don’t actually find that human comparison so interesting. What’s more relevant is the comparison to last year’s humanoid winner: Tiangong Ultra then finished in 2 hours and 40 minutes. Just 12 months later, Lightning’s win shows how rapidly these developments are moving, cutting the running time by nearly two hours. The humanoid-robot marathon is a state-media spectacle. It’s a perfect embodiment and showcase moment of China’s ambitions and accomplishments in robotics, embodied AI & autonomous navigation, making it clear that humanoid robots are not just a priority frontier technology, but one that's advancing at marathon speed.

But not everyone will get there. Because the societal, parental, peer conditioning to look busy and be busy, all the time, is too strong. Do you have it in you? Can you reclaim your time?

That we are always pouring from a half-empty cup because crushing, packed schedules leave nothing in reserve. We have forgotten how incredibly creative our mind can truly be when it is not drowning in back-to-back-to-back meetings. Everyone needs a Goa state of mind.

Three weeks in Goa now, and you know what’s the number one difference I find between Bangalore and Goa? Time ownership. In Bangalore, most people are time slaves. What’s a time slave? Someone who surrenders their schedule to a timeline or routine that others decide for them.
