Someone please profile the top posters on niche consumer subreddits like "r/vacuumcleaners" or "r/mattress." How did "u/vacuumsaregreat" end up this dedicated?

Sick launch - way easier to automate business workflows when you're using a compound product than a bunch of point solutions.

@lulumeservey the stripe comms post this week was a masterclass

Job posts are a window into the company When the posts are derivative, it doesn’t exactly signal a culture of creativity and originality

when you throw a dinner party with someone you find out whether or not they’re an operator

Craziest unique-to-Devin experience that feels like an actual AI employee: I tag Devin in comments in my Google docs and ask it for edits. Because Devin has access to Slack it can even go find the relevant context. Then I can spy on what it's doing. In the Devin web app I can see Devin's computer. I see it clicking around in my doc, scrolling through, and addressing my comments one by one.

@adamho @fal @gorkem @burkaygur congrats dude! seems like a great fit

It’s been a long time coming, but I’m excited to join @fal as the new Head of Design. I’ve been collaborating with @gorkem and @burkaygur on the fal brand closely over the past few years, so it all made (too) much sense to continue this journey on a more permanent basis (and they could pull me out of FT-retirement). Excited to explore the space of generative media and work alongside the brightest minds. As for the studio, I’ll be still taking on projects under my studio still but on a much much more limited basis. 😌

@milichab @SpaceX @xai @JasonBud Congrats Andrew!! This is awesome

I’m joining @SpaceX and @xai with @JasonBud. X is the company realizing science fiction - reusable rockets, humanoid robots, data centers in space, and more. Almost 10 years ago, I joined SpaceX as an intern on Dragon 2 crew displays. This was in the era of the first rocket landings on barges, long before the Dragon 2 restored human spaceflight to America or Starlink delivered internet from space. Every day since then, I’ve thought about the next steps to land on the Moon - and to build a city on Mars, data centers in space, the brains behind robots, and beyond. There is no better place to build teams and products from the ground up with planetary scale resources. If you’re looking to work on the hardest problems that lay a foundation for humanity’s future to the Moon, Mars, and beyond - DM me.

@samcjordan_ @planetmaxwell I wish

@annarmitchell @planetmaxwell girlie are you going to be in DC this week?

join us in dc for a roarous but classy evening of cocktails and conversation

@TheStalwart (For now)

@TheStalwart AI is massively worse at writing than coding; most of the writing it produces is slop. Writing's less verifiable and requires more intense prompting, shorter feedback loop to produce good output than coding.

Why do a lot of software people like a tool that can allow them to expend their mental energy on higher order problems, while writers dislike the tool that can replace their output completely? Truly one of the great mysteries of our time

@jackclarkSF Sick job

I’m building a small, focused crew to work alongside me and the technical teams on this adventure. I’m looking to work with exceptional, entrepreneurial, heterodox thinkers. Apply here, and if you're unsure feel free to DM me as to why you're a good fit. job-boards.greenhouse.io/anthropic/jobs…

AI progress continues to accelerate and the stakes are getting higher, so I’ve changed my role at @AnthropicAI to spend more time creating information for the world about the challenges of powerful AI.

@jordanschneider @alexkaplan0 @cognition @russelljkaplan hahaha do it alex

@alexkaplan0 @cognition @russelljkaplan Alex the people want a luckin-blue bottle emergency pod

new show with @cognition's @russelljkaplan on what software abundance could mean for state capacity. chinatalk.media/p/software-abu… we get into: Why government software is so broken — Despite spending over $100B annually on IT, critical systems at agencies like the Social Security Administration and U.S. Department of the Treasury still run on decades-old code that few engineers know how to modify. How two-year software projects become three-week ones — why AI agents are particularly good at the painful migration and modernization work engineers tend to avoid. What “software abundance” actually means — AI agents can handle the tedious work of switching systems 24/7, collapsing the switching costs, and forcing software vendors to compete on value rather than locking customers into outdated systems. AI for cybersecurity — From triaging massive vulnerability backlogs to automatically fixing CVEs, AI will be essential for defending critical infrastructure as attackers gain the same tools. The coming “post-coding” world — As models converge in capability, the key bottleneck shifts from writing code to understanding problems, reviewing systems, and deciding what should be built in the first place.

they call it mount tam because you can see your total addressable market from there

Devin is like Claude Code except it lives in the cloud and runs against all of your repos vs your local filesystem. So it never turns off, can be run from anywhere including your phone + Slack, and runs as many tasks as you can send it in parallel. It's complementary to all agentic IDEs and CLIs, and for the first time ever it's free to get started.

@grant_brewster actually added the typo later to maximally deceive u

@annarmitchell > the best compnaies in Silicon Valley keeping the spelling mistake so we KNOW it's not ai. big 🧠 move.

We all work hard at Cog but Devin works hardest. Here's a cool readout on all the ways we use Devin to ship more.
