welcome home terrifying robo-dog. what could go wrong while i sleep?
Google DeepMind@GoogleDeepMind

We teamed up with @BostonDynamics to power their robot Spot with Gemini Robotics embodied reasoning models. This means it can better understand its surroundings, identify objects and follow simple commands - like tidying up a room.

I hunch Local gov will be the most compelling case. Highest impact on daily life, least national coverage, data is mostly public. It just needed a layer to read all the minutes, watch all the townhalls, and surface what matters. National news is dramatic. But your zoning board approving a 400-unit development behind your house. Your school committee cutting the arts. Your local trail delayed again. That's your life. Something changes when we can actually see our tax $$ are used. The specific project, contractor, timeline, result. The "govt feedback loop" existed on paper - but few had the time to engage. Maybe tech can make local govt as engaging as national politics.

Something I've been thinking about - I am bullish on people (empowered by AI) increasing the visibility, legibility and accountability of their governments. Historically, it is the governments that act to make society legible (e.g. "Seeing like a state" is the common reference), but with AI, society can dramatically improve its ability to do this in reverse. Government accountability has not been constrained by access (the various branches of government publish an enormous amount of data), it has been constrained by intelligence - the ability to process a lot of raw data, combine it with domain expertise and derive insights. As an example, the 4000-page omnibus bill is "transparent" in principle and in a legal sense, but certainly not in a practical sense for most people. There's a lot more like it: laws, spending bills, federal budgets, freedom of information act responses, lobbying disclosures... Only a few highly trained professionals (investigative journalists) could historically process this information. This bottleneck might dissolve - not only are the professionals further empowered, but a lot more people can participate. Some examples to be precise: Detailed accounting of spending and budgets, diff tracking of legislation, individual voting trends w.r.t. stated positions or speeches, lobbying and influence (e.g. graph of lobbyist -> firm -> client -> legislator -> committee -> vote -> regulation), procurement and contracting, regulatory capture warning lights, judicial and legal patterns, campaign finance... Local governments might be even more interesting because the governed population is smaller so there is less national coverage: city council meetings, decisions around zoning, policing, schools, utilities... Certainly, the same tools can easily cut the other way and it's worth being very mindful of that, but I lean optimistic overall that added participation, transparency and accountability will improve democratic, free societies. (the quoted tweet is half-ish related, but inspired me to post some recent thoughts)

The inability of Democrats to occupy the “let’s cut waste, fraud, and abuse” lane – which is wide open since DOGE so thoroughly failed – just boggles my mind.

Pretty surreal to be featured here. I started using Claude Code almost a year ago, even before subscriptions, using part of my personal Brex stipend to test it. I’ve been lucky to help drive adoption across Eng, Product, and Design and share what’s worked. Grateful for CC team!

3/ Brex saw 3-4x productivity gains on specific tasks. Notably, non-technical teams started writing code and building their own tools. claude.com/blog/how-brex-…

The PM playbook of writing PRDs and aligning stakeholders is dead. At Brex, Product Managers design agent workflows, go deep on model behavior, live inside our P&L, and own outcomes end-to-end — from 0→1 to production across tens of thousands of finance teams. And combined with Capital One, Brex will soon be operating at an unprecedented scale and serving millions of businesses in the US. I’m hiring PMs to work with me on some of our top initiatives. Here’s what we’re looking for: - You use AI Coding tools every day to build your own artifacts, not just overseeing people who do - Founder DNA — you’ve built something from scratch, or you will - Extraordinarily high agency and product taste, obsess over craft and design details - In-person in SF, NYC, Seattle, Vancouver or São Paulo Come define the next version of the PM role here. Open product roles below / DM or email: pedro@brex.com

Ya'll realize people (and businesses) still use... paper checks, right? User payment preferences are rarely about fees. Will the AI agents get rewards for using a Colossuspay card? If not, why would their human switch from rewards CC? Bc it helps the merchant?
Rick Manelius@rickmanelius

Visa and Mastercard are toast. 2-3% transaction feel will get eaten alive when AI Agents can spin up a virtual or physical @colossuspay credit cards and fund 100% with stablecoins. gg

Anyone got any tips on how to fix this? A restart usually works but did nothing this time. My phone is completely full.

@ryanvogel Looks cool but kinda unclear on hosting and pricing for storage. Ex: what happens if you don’t read the webhook, do you delete the email?
