Hey folks! A great organization I work with and support called Calculated Genius is looking for 8-10 computer science professionals to sign up to mentor aspiring STEM professionals from underrepresented backgrounds for their up coming program. I believe this would be a valuable volunteering opportunity for those who have a passion for young aspiring engineers and future technologists. If you’re interested in signing up to mentor, send me a message.

@davide_losso_ @l_mejiaC I agree I like them both tbh

@l_mejiaC in my opinion it comes down to either claude or codex

Codex is the best ai app in the world.

@SF_investigates So basically her parents signed for her to travel with him…

Minors, such as #CelesteRivasHernandez can not just travel to London without consent. Here are the laws in the UK about minors traveling with an adult that is not their parent (US citizens do need an ETA/Visa to travel to or through the UK): You’ll need to show that your parent or guardian consents to your travel and accommodation arrangements. If you do have to apply for a Standard Visitor visa, you’ll need to identify the adult travelling with you in your visa application. If the person you’re travelling with is not your parent, you’ll need to provide specific information about them in your application. You can identify up to 2 adults in your visa application. Their names will appear on your visa. The adult can apply for a visa at the same time, but you must each complete separate applications. #D4vd

@Jason I’m in!

We started an AI founder twitter group... reply with "I'm in" if you're a founder and want to be added

@NVoitenkov @speedrun We applied!

It's official - @speedrun 07 applications are open. Yes - as a scout I can write you a cheque within 24h but I wanna do better than that. I am looking for a few early stage founders to mentor. My sweet spot are folks with international background, who come from underprivileged backgrounds, and never had anything handed to them. Comment with a blurb of what you are building and I will DM you my Demo Day pitch recording. Here is a tip I gave folks in the past. Your product and vision will take you from 10-->100 but for the 0-->1 part it's about the TEAM. Read the "Dinner Party Jerk" essay by @andrewchen. That's how u should pitch yourself.

If you’re on Vercel - action this immediately

BREAKING: LeBron James rushed to the hospital and in critical condition after elbow comes within just feet of his head

SOMEONE ASKED CLAUDE TO MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE AN AI. 🤯 What it created is one of the most unsettling things I've ever seen. Claude wrote Python code that generated and assembled every single frame on its own.

Our first ever Blackathon is coming April 24. Over $5,000 in cash and prizes. Open to all tech solutions with 2-tracts to choose from. Click on the link to be notified when registration opens: forms.gle/CLRitYEDZQSvWs… #blacktechtwitter #blackintech #blacktechmatters

@IntCyberDigest I was mildly excited!

🚨‼️ BREAKING: Anthropic has decided to open source their entire codebase and is rebranding their AI to OpenClaude. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said: "Yesterday was no slip-up. If we disappear just like OpenAI is vanishing right now, our code can live on through the community."

@Tancrededib Sent you a dm just now.

You haven’t raised yet? Good I want to fund you

@aschwags3 GA

This quarter, I’ve closed multiple $1M+ without a slide deck. I’m using a single AI tool. Today, I want to share it, free. After signing, a prospect asked me how we created the site. They were so wow-ed they wanted it for their own clients. Here’s what floored them: it took a single designer 5 minutes to prompt and launch. The AI chains together 6 key parts of our sales process, turning a 18-page deck into a single, personalized website. When they asked, I gave them this template and workflow. Now I want to share it for free: Follow me + comment “GA” and I’ll DM it.

SchoolOpsAI is opening our $300K round now. We built the data intelligence layer K-12 districts have never had one platform, every system, real-time analytics that prove student outcomes and protect funding. We already have paying districts and pilots converting. Demoing daily. Interested in connecting with aligned angels.

Angel investing in a handful of startups this month 😇 Pre-seed and seed. Ideally AI, but open to all My value add: ▪️ 500K+ newsletter subscribers across The VC Corner and The AI Corner ▪️ 300K+ LinkedIn followers, 2–4M weekly impressions ▪️ a16z speedrun scout ▪️ Network of top VCs, operators and founders Pitch in comments 👇

@cryptopunk7213 Awesome

well thats fucking it - anthropic has officially replaced software engineers. claude is now a 24 hr autonomous coding agent. claude can now operate your entire computer and CLAUDE CODE = end-to-end software engineering: - claude writes the code for you - then literally opens the app it coded - clicks through the entire app and find bugs - then fixes the bugs and improves the app in hours. previously claude generated code, you run it and give claude feedback. thats completely gone now. all in a continuous loop without leaving your terminal 😂 we're barely through monday. well done lol

What’s happening to LaRussell is proof that nobody wants any positivity in hip-hop and cancel culture reigns supreme. The fact that a blanket statement can be taken out of context because a majority of the population are surface thinkers is truly baffling.

@RobertJBye Welcome!

Finally fully moved to San Francisco! So excited for this next chapter!

@TechLayoffLover Wow

Amazon just confirmed 16,000 layoffs but sources inside are telling me the real story is so much worse Word from three different VPs: the 16K number is just "Phase One" - internal docs show another 14,000 cuts planned for Q2 A director in AWS walked me through their new "efficiency matrix" - entire teams being replaced by 2-3 senior engineers running Claude Sonnet workflows The Alexa division got completely hollowed out. 847 engineers two months ago. 23 remaining after this week. All hardware development moved to a Bangalore team of 31 contractors with Cursor access Here's the sick part: they're making the outgoing engineers document their entire decision-making process into "knowledge transfer sessions" that are being recorded and fed directly into training datasets One L7 told me he spent his final two weeks creating detailed prompt libraries and workflow documentation. Thought he was being helpful for the transition Turns out he was literally training the AI agent that replaced his entire org The contractors offshore are using his exact prompts and shipping features 40% faster than his old team of 12 Americans ever did Internal Slack shows leadership celebrating "operational excellence" while badges get deactivated in real-time They're calling it "right-sizing for the AI era" in the all-hands But the P&L sheets I'm seeing show $280M in salary savings this quarter alone The knowledge extraction is complete If you're still at Amazon and haven't started job hunting, you're already dead

@cgtwts Freaking epic!

RIP to everyone who just bought a $600 Mac Mini Base44 just dropped Superagent. > persistent memory > scheduled jobs > event triggers > browser sessions It’s basically an agent that runs your workflows on autopilot and is very simple to use.
