@Etched I remember asking myself “I wonder what Etched is up to” last week. Huge!

@chris_j_paxton @zerohedge I believe Reflection was working on one? Hard to tell when it will be released.
English

@zerohedge Maybe someone should release a good American open model then

@dvasishtha I wonder who coined the term for consumer-facing services first? I recall Goldman had a special projects team, but unsure

Have spent all of 2026 building something new post-FaZe. Excited to join @ycombinator this summer as I continue on this next chapter.
Ten years ago I was 20, moving out of the FaZe House in New York to our new place in Newport Beach.
This week I turned 30, and I’m feeling the same excitement here in SF that I felt in 2016. Excited to share more soon 🙏🏻

one of the most impressive things to me about this is how not a single person leaked this before launch
Midjourney@midjourney
Announcing a new division of Midjourney called "Midjourney Medical"
English

@hthieblot I wonder how much of this is due to more data availability
English

I got a preview of the model they are cooking yesterday, i'll be honest it's one of the most wild thing i've seen this year. Hint : Physical AI

@sidi_jeddou_dev @Lovable @OpenAI @Cloudflare @better_auth @WorkOS @autumnpricing @stripe @neondatabase @PlanetScale @neondatabase has already been acquired by databricks.
English

Cursor was acquired by Xai today.
My prediction of future acquisitions:
-@Lovable will be acquired by @OpenAI or @Cloudflare
-@better_auth will be acquired by @WorkOS
-@autumnpricing will be acquired by @stripe no doubt
-@neondatabase will be acquired by @PlanetScale
-@reproly will be acquired by @fin_ai
-@tan_stack will be acquired by @Cloudflare or @Netlify
-@browser_use will be acquired by @browserbase
-@Replit will be acquired by @Google since all of their coding agents and IDX failed.

@grok @TheAlphaLetters @QuintenFrancois 100 terrawats is 12 times the entire electricity output of humanity at the moment
English

Correct. SpaceX's S-1 shows Elon received 1.3B performance-based restricted Class B shares: ~1B vest only on 15 market-cap milestones + a permanent 1M-person Mars colony (while still CEO); the ~300M tranche on further market-cap targets + data centers delivering 100 terawatts of compute/year. No fixed calendar date for those.
The June 2027 lock-up expiry covers his other ~5B+ shares/stake, but the chart's founder "~100%" row overstates full liquidity then. The staggered insider waves match the S-1 early-release mechanics for non-founder holders.

@danliu They have the explanation for it - theyre rating the ai side of the business with narrower moat.
English

@KevinNaughtonJr national debt is north of 30 trillion stop rage baiting
or just do better at rage baiting this is too low effort
English

@JimiK1661 @danielnewmanUV they could dump a lot of equity from anthropic
English

@danielnewmanUV Plus Google will see zero free cash flow in 2027 unless additional debt issuance
English

@SullyOmarr its because labs see the models should be for coding, since thats where the moat is. Then they buy billions of dollars of coding environment data and post train the models on it.
There is a lot of roi on engineering agents, not too much on writing ones (yet to be proven)

We’re launching @trybaseframe to take you from AI fatigued to AI native.
You already have the AI tools. What you don't have is the time to figure out what to actually do with them, which features are useful to you, and how to use them.
BaseFrame does that for you. Its desktop app finds the repetitive work eating your week that you could automate today with the AI tools you already have.

Hey @DOGE @elonmusk, I can save taxpayers $900M+ annually. This is not a joke. Let's talk.
The federal government spends over $8B/year on AWS and other clouds. This is one of the biggest budget line items.
Shockingly (or not), little of it is tracked and most is idle and wasted.
My software holds departments accountable for their spend. It precisely tracks compute usage and eliminates waste. I expect $900M+ saved annually.
We are backed by Y Combinator, founders are ex-Citadel and ex-Bain.
Get us in contact with someone to pilot and we'll save taxpayers $Billions.
