[1/4] I built an app that scrapes your X posts and tells you your politics. Apparently, I'm a “Techno-Libertarian Skeptic” Try it out with any X handle.

@soham_btw 🫡

@lmarena_ai awesome job thijs!

🚨 BIG NEWS: An announcement from our intern… Introducing, 🎬 Video Arena!

@brendanm0407 @reflection_ai super bullish on the generalist agent approach @brendanm0407 and team are taking to understand codebases, sandboxed cli coding agents only take you so far 🚀

Thrilled to share that I’ve joined @reflection_ai! We’re building superintelligent autonomous systems by co-designing research and product. Today, we’re launching Asimov. As AI benchmarks saturate, evaluation will increasingly live inside real-world products that are reward-bearing RL environments in disguise. Reach out if you’re interested in working at the intersection of RL, LLMs, and agents alongside some of the scientists and engineers behind AlphaGo, PaLM, GPT-4, Gemini!

Announcing that @WillowVoiceAI has raised $4.2 million to build voice-first interfaces. We started Willow after dropping out of Stanford freshman year to build a healthcare startup. It failed. We pivoted over 10 times, spent a year in the trenches, and learned how to build the hard way. But we discovered something huge. Voice scribes were giving doctors their lives back. They were able to focus on helping patients rather than wasting nights and weekends on paperwork. That's when it hit us. If voice could transform healthcare, why not every knowledge worker? Why are a billion professionals still hammering away at keyboards to communicate with humans (email, Slack, writing) and AI (ChatGPT, Cursor)? Today, thousands of professionals at companies like Canva, GitHub, and Webflow use Willow to work 5x faster. We're building Willow to unlock voice as the universal interface where you can control any device, any app, any workflow simply by speaking. – This $4.2M round was led by Boxgroup, with participation from Goodwater Capital, Burst Capital, and Liquid 2 Ventures. We’re also backed by an Avengers-level group of investors, including: @Max (Founder, Instacart) @nejatian (COO, Shopify) @dharmesh (CTO/Founder, HubSpot) @tomerlondon (CPO/Founder, Gusto) @geoffdonaker (COO, Yelp) @ankurnagpal (Founder, Teachable) @StevenJZhou (CEO/Founder, Moov) @danielreidcahn (CEO/Founder, Slingshot AI) @jaentwistle (CEO/Founder, Wander) @mercebent (Venture Partner, Lightspeed @JdotJdotF (CTO/Founder, Wayup) Special thanks to our earliest believers: @adamguild (CEO/Founder, Owner), @cory (Founder, ZFellows), and @dessaigne (Partner, YC). And most importantly, thank you to the best co-founder and CTO @LiuLawrence45. – We're hiring for founding engineer, designer, and ML roles who want to redefine how humans work. Join a world-class team building technology that transforms lives daily with top-tier compensation and equity. Comment "Join Willow" to be fast-tracked. The next decade will be defined by voice-first computing. The question isn't whether this transformation will happen. It's whether you'll be part of building it.

@OfficialAmogh @Employerdotcom @humanbehaviorai LFG AMOGH AND TEAM

WE JUST SOLD A COMPANY 🎉 stoked to announce that our first startup, dough, has been acquired by @Employerdotcom. much love to my cofounders and parents! we're now working on @humanbehaviorai (yc x25) – AI that watches your session replays! More news coming 🚀 …
