@AiBreakfast @Scobleizer Cool idea. This made me think of another product idea: Using whisper to listen in on meetings (or interviews). Saving all historic content from meetings (&notion, slack, ...) in a vector db. Then surfacing relevant information in bullet points live for each point that's raised

Agents getting access to payments link.com/gb/agents Always with human approval

Fascinating to see all the infra that's currently being built to support personal agents (like openclaw) for the masses 🧵

Agents getting access to passwords bitwarden.com/blog/introduci… never in model context, always with human approval

emojis in agent responses are underrated I optimise towards being able to review agent work as efficiently as possible. When big lists have 🟢🟡🔴 I know which ones to pay more attention to. I never skip ⚠️. Certain topics became emoji themes. Amazing for skim reading

@bugattrk Why not now

i will one day build a startup to build dyson swarms/spheres or do mind-computer mapping

loving the /goal feature, fully switching to codex now to make it even better, would be great if it was optimising for time (parallelising stuff, ...) and if it was failing fast (tends to unnecessarily run the full test suite) @sama

My favorite part: instead of a dashboard it just updates the README as it works. Readme is the new dashboard.

standalone AI tools are nice demos. ecosystems are the thing once the model can use your data, your workflows and your internal tools, it gets way more sticky

the hardest part of AI products isn't usually "can the model do it" it's: can the product get the right context at the right moment without annoying the user

i think people overfocus on whether AI can replace app/web UIs more interesting question: which apps become infrastructure for agents instead of destinations for humans

building with AI feels less like stone masonry and more like pottery you get something ugly but working immediately. then shape it a lot of engineers hate this phase. that's the whole shift

@bugattrk Better than excel I guess. Go make mama proud

I am pleased to announce that i think uni maths is fun @etticat how do u feel about school mr product

keep seeing this pattern: people obsess over prompts when they should be obsessing over setup tools, data access, evals, permissions, fallback paths. that's the real work

@bugattrk Bhai

@etticat Deep mr etti thats deep

the first version AI gives you often looks slightly cursed many sees that and panic but big changes are now cheap. that’s why the old instinct breaks

browser was the interface layer for the internet feels like AI is getting its own interface layer now. same pattern. new primitives, then a default workspace on top

Me: is it running? Opus: No. I will start it Me: is it running? Got: No That's the core difference between the 2 personalities

Honestly, this is the most accurate diagram I've seen. Waterfall: You plan for 18 months and deliver exactly what nobody needs anymore. Agile: You deliver something usable at every step, but the CEO keeps asking, "Where's the car?" AI: You get the car on day one. It has six wheels, the doors are on backwards, and it has a rocket launcher. You spend more time making it yours than actually "building"; it's shaping. owning. verifying. That's what the best AI developers do now. They don't build. They shape and own.

@bugattrk If that doesn't work try codex
