@jun_song You mean the lifestyle platform 😆

South Korean convenience store GS25 is now selling AI humanoid robots. Yes, it’s a standard convenience store like 7-Eleven, not a tech shop. Humanoid robot: $21k Quadruped robot dog: $3k I think South Korea definitely reached the singularity first.

@alexmacgregor__ @louisvarge Yeah, love Atlantis too

@hackwithzach @louisvarge Huaqiangbei has good one (Mevlana)

shenzhen: pay $6 for a meal that’s probably great if you liked chinese food, but you’re allergic to soy sauce (which they have never heard of before) so you just pick at it sadly hong kong: pay $1000 hong kong dollars for sort of british tasting tacos. after a month in china, it’s an enormous relief that they don’t taste chinese. you are delighted usa: $16 acai bowl. it’s great. you pay for quality mexico: tastes twice as good, $5. you may get sick

@alexmacgregor__ @louisvarge Turkish tends to be okay tho, a couple Mexican-owned spots near Sea World.

@louisvarge Chinese food in SZ rocks, but the western/other food is dogshit

@signulll @ns123abc The depp case was gold 😂

@ns123abc are there any more ridiculous moments like this courtroom history lol?

🚨 Musk vs OpenAI's lawyer — the cross-examination exchanges William Savitt — Wachtell Lipton's lead defense lawyer, Supreme Court clerk, trained to break witnesses. Savitt opens with a misleading premise. Musk: "You're being misleading. What you're saying is false." Savitt tries again with a different loaded frame. Musk: "Your questions are not simple. They are designed to trick me." Savitt demands a yes or no answer to a complicated question. Musk: "If you ask a question where there is no possible simple answer, I must give a longer answer because any simple answer would be misleading the jury." Musk reaches for an analogy: "The classic answer to a yes or no question is not so simple. For example, if you ask the question 'will you stop beating your wife?'..." Judge Gonzalez Rogers cuts him off: "No, we're not gonna go there." The courtroom laughs. Savitt apologizes for the question. Musk: "I find it funny you saying it wasn't an unfair question since you're only asking unfair questions." Savitt: "I'm doing my best." Musk: "That is not true." OpenAI's lawyer came to break Musk. Musk wasn't having it.

@KevinNaughtonJr 1000% agree

i really hate that society's convinced the next leap in computing should be in the form factor of glasses > i don't wanna wear glasses 24/7 > imaging a future where every person is wearing glasses feels extremely weird and dystopian > seeing people tweak in the middle of conversations and repeatedly glance down and right somehow feels worse than someone just straight up pulling out their phone i have yet to see a truly net positive experience with anything resembling smart glasses and i think humans will sooner mass adopt technology like neuralink than some intermediary form factor like glasses

Proud to share that the U.S. Army, 1st Cavalry Division, has reached a deployment agreement with Hippos. 1CD one of the most storied combat divisions in American military history. Phase 1 and 2 deployment begins this year, with a pathway toward 2,000-unit ($2M) division-wide procurement in 2027. As a 21-year-old, all I could have asked for was a place where I could freely dream the impossible, a team to build shoulder to shoulder with, and a purpose greater than myself. America gave me all three. This is the beginning of paying back a debt of gratitude I will carry for life. 🇺🇸

@ShawKylin @Hipposexo Let’s go!

@aaravgarg Red light counters need to be implemented in US, so nice for crosswalks also

In China, the ride hailing app DiDi shows the exact timer of the red light 😱

@FarzaTV @shaiunterslak Sick!!

Here's the new Clicky. It's the simplest interface in the world to talk to AI + spawn agents. It builds Mac apps. It does research to help you find IG micro-influencers. It interacts with native Apple Notes, Calendar, Reminders. Built for consumers, 0 setup. Try today, free.

@nikitabier Invite locking is dirty 😆

Still got it

@aadilpickle Gotta have chenglou.me/pretext/editor… with the clicky cursor

wanted to see what this would look like as a magazine and gotta say I kinda love it

@lizwandersworld @taniacezara1 Congrats Liz! Was fun brainstorming in SZ

Today we're launching Era and announcing $11M in funding. We're building the intelligence layer for a new ecosystem of AI devices — the platform that lets any device manufacturer, brand, designer, or creator make objects that think, respond, and act in their own style. We're entering a Cambrian explosion — new form factors, new creators, new objects worth desiring. Made by people who've never had the tools to make them, before today. Welcome to the new Era. Backed by @AbstractVC, @BoxGroup, @topology_vc, @betaworks, @CollaborativeFund, @MozillaVentures, and @AIResidency.

@levelsio Add bidet 👀

🏩 Added amenities to hotelist.com now, they're detected based on an AI checking all photos of a hotel, so there's no need for outdated data sets It also means I can add any amenity that'd show up on a photo as long as it can be recognized So I'm adding 🏋️‍♀️weightlifting gym filter, so you can find hotels with actual barbell, plates, power rack and not just a treadmill and 5kg dumbbells!

@peer_rich What do you use above Cursor?

not a hater, i have a cursor subscription floating around but its probably the least used AI coding tool out of 4 that i am using

cursor is one of the biggest AI bankheists forked VSCode, adds AI to it then retrains Kimi (first secretly then publicly) there must be something so epic behind the scenes that i am not seeing

@egor_rdnk @based16z Cursor went from $1B in revenue to $2B just in Q1 this year. They have one of the fastest growth rates of any SaaS

@based16z $60B for that?

@Hadley Cursor isn’t just SOTA at integrated IDE, their SOTA at agent cli, cloud agents and orchestration, QA / bug bots, etc… The only remote excuse not to use it is token cost maybe higher, but it’s a small price to pay for significantly higher quality output.

I’m just a lowly seed investor, but I don’t get Cursor at $50B. Every frontier dev I know has moved off Cursor and off IDEs entirely. Only laggards are still on it. And dev tools always move from thought leaders to laggards, never the reverse.

@SpaceX @cursor_ai Huge!

SpaceXAI and @cursor_ai are now working closely together to create the world’s best coding and knowledge work AI. The combination of Cursor’s leading product and distribution to expert software engineers with SpaceX’s million H100 equivalent Colossus training supercomputer will allow us to build the world’s most useful models. Cursor has also given SpaceX the right to acquire Cursor later this year for $60 billion or pay $10 billion for our work together.

@sabakarimm @vibecodeapp_ @Superwall @rjvir Can I buy one 👀

Not to brag but @vibecodeapp_ basically won this game of App Poly for me. Super fun night thnx to @Superwall with @rjvir

@Robo_Tuo Let’s go!!

Crazy how many DMs I got. I'll try to reply ASAP tmr. BTW, we're also building a hacker village in addition to the modern space. I would say our tech community will probably be the most international and impactful one on the planet right here in Shenzhen Robot Valley.

@jinner9 @MrPitbull07 Asian airport lounges are lit tho, nothing like the priority pass ones in the US

@MrPitbull07 The air china first class lounge in Beijing is on priority pass. That should tell you everything you need to know about quality of food at Chinese airline lounges
