Seems inevitable that SaaS cos will go headless, shifting to consumption-based harness as a service business models. Frontier LLMs will add support for agent wallets. Agents become the dominant users of these services, opting to use preexisting tools rather than inferring them.

@SurahAl_Ikhlaas @GrandBastion @MissiforMO Local concern about the Festus data center brought to you from 6,200 miles away 🙃

@GrandBastion @MissiforMO They’re never going to admit to what these data centers are for. Stop being such a goy.

The City of Festus, MO canceled their Council meeting for tonight following last night's election whereby citizens voted out of office every single member who voted for the data center there that the people did not want. Micro to macro, that is how we hold them accountable.

This is simply the best. What a great kid and an incredible display of the incomparable love between a loving father and his child.

@CalebChamberla6 Man, I love seeing you succeed. You've done a great job, and your content has been helpful and an inspiration.

OSH Cut raised $0. Eight years ago we started with just $250k, funded primarily by a HELOC on my home. Just enough for the down-payment on our first laser. Today, we employ 120 people and are growing faster than ever. Great things to come!

Ngl, The Bible really ate with Psalm 14:1 😭

There is no way a person can see this image of a cell and deny that God exists.

Conway's Law says you ship your org chart. But something interesting happens when your org chart is increasingly composed of AI agents: the quality of your product becomes a direct outcome of the quality of your agent infrastructure.

AGI is here.

You have no experience. You’ve never started a company. You’ve never had a full time job. Nike is going to kill you. You’re a kid. You don’t have technical skills. You shouldn’t build hardware. Apple is going to kill you. You can’t build hardware. You can’t measure heart rate non-invasively. Athletes don’t care about recovery. Under Armour is going to kill you. It won’t be accurate. You don’t listen. You’re an ineffective leader. You can’t recruit great talent. You’re going to have to pay every athlete. You can’t measure sleep non-invasively. It’s too expensive to research. Athletes are a small market. The product costs too much to make. The product costs too much to sell. Your valuation is too high. Consumers aren’t going to want it. Hardware is too hard. You should measure steps. Fitbit is going to kill you. You can’t build a marketing engine. You can’t raise enough money. You need a real CEO. Google is going to kill you. You can’t be a subscription. You can’t build a brand. You can’t do consumer in Boston. Your valuation is too high. You shouldn’t make accessories. You shouldn’t make apparel. Lululemon is going to kill you. You can’t predict Covid. Stay in your niche. You are going to run out of money. You can’t build a health platform. Amazon is going to kill you. You can’t measure blood pressure. You can’t get medical approvals. The market is too small. You don’t understand AI. The market is too competitive. It won’t work internationally. The supply chain is too complicated. You can’t build an AI. You can’t raise enough money. It’s too competitive. Healthcare isn’t going to want it. … Just keep going ✌️

Starting ~6 months ago, there has been an energy across the internet that just hasn't been here since the early .com days. Back when IRC was prolific, TCP/IP went mainstream, P2P filesharing was all the rage, and the world connected for the first time. It is the wild west again.

The "Paradox of Protection" is everywhere, especially with many of my close friends and software engineers. Too many are soaking in near-term "safety" by working at companies where AI isn't an existential priority. The "safest" near-term move is the riskiest long-term move.

@ckoglmeier 100%. You can feel the focus of their team and their closeness to each problem they're solving. Firing on all cylinders right now.

Anthropic/Claude has leapfrogged OpenAI/chatGPT for all things analysis. Not even close.

As AI spend scales, vendor loyalty eventually becomes a business liability. The cloud playbook is already written: prefer one, but depend entirely on none. It seems likely the AI race will follow suit with so many of the same variables as cloud, including self-hosting/OSS.

A mentor once told me: “You don’t need a dramatic turning point. You need to stack calm, steady weeks of keeping simple promises you make to yourself. Just do a few right things longer than everyone else is willing to. You'll be shocked how far that takes you."
