This goes so hard if Americans still actually knew who Lafayette was

@adelwu_ Simply brokering a deal to move in to a renovated, rent stabilized, $2.3k 1BR apt in sf made me more money than my entire net worth from working all my 20s.

You are a VP of customer success, whose job title, compensation, and career success rely on managing a team of 150 customer support agents. Would you go “yeah, just cut down my department 5x, this XYZ chatbot is smarter than my peeps anyway”? People are very good at not understanding something when their livelihood depends on them not understanding that.
English
@ichrvk I think SOTA models are smarter than your prototypical offshore support agent (and most onshore ones).
Agentic applications now actually means proactive success actions based on telemetry.
This is all good!

Companies that prize CSAT are irrationally averse to AI in customer service. People who want to automate their customer service usually see their CS as pure cost center where nothing matters apart from driving its costs down. Companies that want to use AI to provide a delightful customer experience is a vanishingly small Venn diagram.
English
@ichrvk Really? I feel there’s a clear economic model that aligns CSAT and NRR.

Imagine you are a Director, Product at a large SaaS company
You make say $185k base, $50k bonus, pull $50k-$100k in RSUs (less now because stock is down). It's ... fine.
Your CEO tells you everyone has to work much harder because of "AI". Gotta "go, go, go"
Would you?

Cloudflare ($NET) getting absolutely decimated by the market after announcing layoffs might finally signal to other companies that layoffs are no longer the magical “stock price go up” button.

@Nick_Davidov @elonmusk @surmenok @nottombrown Compared to Grok models which are the only ones that consisently pick red button!
English
@elonmusk @surmenok @nottombrown Anthropic models are the only ones that consistently pick blue button in the blue button / red button question. Good alignment

In the next few days we'll be ramping up Claude inference on Colossus.
Grateful to be partnering with SpaceX here. We are going to need to move a lot of atoms in order to keep up with AI demand, and there's nobody better at quickly moving atoms (on or off planet Earth)

I've never seen a map in an Offering Memorandum like this before.
Not sure what to think of it...😂

First vibe-check on 5.5, mostly Pro Extended on non-coding tasks: a minor quality bump over 5.4, but a major—I'd say groundbreaking—speed leap. Same results from 5.5 Pro in 8 min that took 5.4 Pro 30. Also more sensitive to prompt quality.

@rrhoover With OpenAI+Anthropic combined being a grand total of 4.29% of their portfolio... naaaah, I'll pass.

I just invested in xAI, Anthropic, and OpenAI

You have to choose one. Estonian haircut or Turkish moustache?

@Oldtown_cards @CardPurchaser Isn’t EQL limited to one per? How are you ordering two boxes on one account?
English
@CardPurchaser At this point I think Fanatics/Topps should just remove the Case option. It just gives false hope to normal buyers. I’m thankful I won a couple hobby though.

What are you even talking about? As late as 1990, Aeroflot was the biggest airline in the world, doing 15% of the world’s civil air traffic for the country that was 5% of the world’s population, connecting 3600 airports on a fleet of Tu-104, Il-86, Yak-40 and countless other planes. How can you even compare this to Brazil?
English
@teortaxesTex Russia is at a similar wealth level to Brazil. Forget the US and Europe for a second, how well do Russian planes connect their country relative to Brazil and their planes?
English
Americans seem to believe that China *simply cannot make* an airliner, because it's le hard, plus muh ballpoint pen story. (they can make >50% of all ships, trains, every kind of military airplane etc, but Soviet era tech is beyond them. Uh-huh).
It's largely projection.
Rick Joe@RickJoe_PLA
There have absolutely been fields where PRC tech dependency has been able to be locked in due to relatively free flow of foreign imports (and thus lack of domestic alternative impetus, greatly hampering domestic alternatives). Commercial airliners, PC OS, for a few obvious ones.

Fighting Opus on this all the time. Just as the OG /frontend-design skill had explicit callouts not to use purple gradients / Inter, we now need to explicitly ban cream paper / fancy serifs / FT style.
Matthew Berman@MatthewBerman
Opus 4.7 has a STRONG affinity for certain design aesthetics. Left - Claude Design creating a slide preso for me. Right - Claude Code redesigning my homepage.

Where exactly is the welfare system extremely generous? As a single childless adult working a minimum wage in Austin the only benefit you’re getting is ~$500/month worth of SNAP … making $15k/yr in a city where a livable wage is ~$50k/yr.
And if you’re _not_ working and not disabled and childless, you’re generally not eligible for any welfare anywhere.
English
@viemccoy "people have such little faith in the system"
this would be completely baseless though because the welfare system is extremely generous; it makes more sense to view this as purely self-interested in the normal sense rather than motivated by some kind of commitment breaking later
English
"Protecting gig work is worth a non-zero amount of preventable deaths" sounds insane on the surface until you realize that most people have such little faith in the system to take care of them that the loss of gig work, the only flexible income left, is basically a death threat.
English
“The photographic industry was the refuge of all failed painters, too ill-equipped or too lazy to complete their studies […] This industry, by invading the territories of art, has become art’s most mortal enemy […] thanks to the stupidity of the multitude.”
— Charles Baudelaire (1859)

@soldni Well you’re still getting used to agentic coding, soon you’ll get to grown-up rates of 200-500 trillion tokens per hour.
