I'm incredibly bearish on "Superapps" and think @OpenAI seeming obsession with them is going to create more problems than it solves.

@dudufolio @phanosha sure is. video version is there

@phanosha @nlw if this is spotify id check it out

Do you guys use anything to catchup with all the news or do you just rawdog twitter?

Fable 5 (actually becoming available), GPT-5.6-Sol (+Terra/Luna), Grok 4.5, Muse Spark 1.1, Muse Image, GPT-Live-1, SWE 1.7 actually here and talk of Opus 5, Fable 5.1, GPT-6 on the horizon. This month is BONKERS for models.

Competition moving towards cost is so good for us.

@maggie_hott @OpenAI Kids. The great joys of our lives and bringers of destruction to recommendation algorithms. NLW, welcome back to Spotify. Have you heard the latest Crazy Frog? NLW, welcome back to Kindle. Great news! There's a new Sammy Bird book out!

I was SOL without Sol. ☀️ For 3.5 years, I kept my @OpenAI corporate account and personal Pro account completely separate. Then Sol came out and I didn’t have it on personal, so I lasted approximately one day. The downside is my corporate account now thinks I’m a 4 & 6-year-old girl, a 74-year-old grandfather, a woman leading healthcare at OpenAI, a cancer survivor, and a mom who spends an inordinate amount of time planning summer camp logistics in San Francisco. IYKYK. Turns out my personal boundaries were strong right up until the model got good enough. Excited for the world to experience this magic tomorrow. It’s going to be a bright day. 🌞

we raised $130M @ $1B for our series A >$100M run rate we’re just getting started

@mignano At some point others will realize podcasts don't have to be interviews.

If you’re going to do a tech podcast in 2026 please do yourself (and the rest of us) a favor and do something different, unique, etc. A new format. Super high production quality. A guest who hasn’t been on every other show. The baseline is too high now. Everyone does video. Tools are inexpensive. Products like Riverside, Descript, etc are so good that the out of the box episode is good no matter what. So you need to go above that. You need to aim higher. And you can! There are so many unexplored formats. Don’t be afraid to get creative. Zig when others are zagging.

@c_valenzuelab And yet @KMbappe is still in his 20s. Boggles the mind.

Time is relative to your POV. The last World Cup was in 2022. Argentina won. The same Messi, the same Ronaldo, and a lot of the same from that time into this World Cup. But if you think of 2022 from the POV of AI, it's basically like 500 years ago and nothing feels close to being the same.

ChatGPT safety settings have been ratcheted so high it won't write a description of a true crime podcast now.

And with that, the era of AI Protectionism begins.

@jordak6200 @AIDailyBrief Good idea!

@nlw @AIDailyBrief A feature request: On the main page, can you replace "TODAY'S EDITION" with e.g. "SUNDAY'S EDITION?" Currently it says "TODAY" even if the most recent episode was not today. Makes it a little harder to know if there's a new episode, or if I've already seen this.

@nlw Where can we submit feature requests for aidailybrief.ai? Your video said "shoot me an email" but I can't find one that isn't "sponsors" or "speaking."

Basically the set up for Dungeon Crawler Carl

Fable coming back tonight got me feeling like

@danshipper You could also build a travel planner called "Export Controls"

@nlw Absolutely doing a pina colada tasting app

if this happens im livestreaming and ripping tokens from my vacation in cabo tonight

@deredleritt3r shhhhh we got it back shhhh

Anthropic has agreed to: 1. "proactively detect and address security risks associated with [Fable 5 and Mythos 5]" - How is Anthropic required to "proactively" detect these security risks? Not publicly disclosed. 2. work diligently with the [USG] on: (1) protocols and standards, and (2) releases for "Mythos, Fable and future models" - Note that this is EXTREMELY broad language that appears to cover ALL future models and is NOT limited to cybersecurity risks. 3. inform the USG of "any malicious activity"

Smart post. A chilling thought I've had recently, watching Mag7 cash flow crashing toward zero and watching AI bubble fears reemege, is that the US built its tech dominance on industries where the marginal cost of the product was basically zilch, and this happened in the context of a US financial media that loves panicking and talking about bubbles and doom at the earliest sight of an earnings miss. But with AI, you've got a capex arms race that seems like itll reward patient and loss-tolerant capital, and the business cycle might go thru some ups and downs that could trigger more AI bubble panics and encourage big US companies to pull back spending. Meanwhile what does China love? Ooutspending and out-losing its global private-sector industrial competitors for years and years ... and the CCP doesn't change its investment strategy based on compelling CNBC clips. I think the US is winning on AI right now, and I'd like that to remain the case, but with rising inflation, data center populism, and other resource limitations, I don't think it's crazy to think that the US has some real challenges.

@_simonsmith do you like how I had to go back and explain it further to make sure people would get that I was joking?

@nlw definitely not getting paid by ByteDance :)
