Sigh.

@jaltma they don't seem to be yet...

I hope schools are teaching kids to just sit down with codex / claude code and make stuff.

Indian ads continue to be amazing! :-)

@deedydas Sigh. :-(

Google Senior Staff Engineer to me: “Yeah, I have no clue what Claude Code / Codex is but I hear it’s all the rage. No, I don’t really care, I just need GOOG to hit $400 and keep this job for 2-3 more years so I can retire!”

@deedydas @ruchirkanakia Ouch. :-)

@ruchirkanakia Why don't you move to the US and be successful then?

You have to be really smart to be successful in India. You can be average and succeed in the US.

Good work day, but the accomplishment today that required true optimism and execution - in a 4.5 hour span, got the 8yo from school to swim class, then piano class and a then rescheduled basketball practice and the 12yo, in between, to a surprise basketball practice; fed them dinner and snacks in between - and no one was late or cranky. Tomorrow. I'm supposed to lead a session on AI productivity, but I really just want to talk about this instead.. :-)

@ammaar @jgebbia @ndstudio Amazing!!

A year ago I became a US Citizen. This week I was invited to the White House. Spent the day jamming on ideas with @jgebbia and team. Surreal feeling. The work @ndstudio is doing is going to matter for a long time. 🇺🇸

@RakeshSFNYC I’ll get back to you in a decade or so with a couple of data points. :-)

@salgar Probably too soon for the data, I’d love to see if there is a strong correlation between age of getting phone and college performance. Lots of confounding factors, but it’d be interesting to see.

My 12 yo just had the talk with me... .. we negotiated which of his friends I'm allowed to talk to, under what circumstances, and how I'm not allowed to just "hang out" with them anymore or ask what they're upto or for school gossip. On track for my "Dad, stop embarrassing me" phase.

Wow…

@RakeshSFNYC Most of his friends have watches and not phones - so I think we can likely hold that for a while...

@salgar How is the peer group looking? I don’t have kids, but I imagine that if schools ban them bell to bell and kids talk to each other face to face, there will be less peer pressure to get addicted to screens. At least during the day. 😜

@nowme_datta The partner is a bit of a wet blanket though…

They just go with the flow

@RakeshSFNYC Doesn’t have one yet. :-)

@salgar How are you on the smartphone front?

@tanayj @collision @stripe Don’t give em ideas….:-)

@collision @stripe saw the image before reading the tweet and thought an M&A had happened...

Businesses can now sell directly within an ad or browsing session on Facebook, powered by the Agentic Commerce Protocol and @stripe stripe.com/newsroom/news/…

I have questions…

@gabor Hope to run into you in the building!

Taking the 6 am bus to Mountain View this morning for a packed day with the DeepMind folks. Send coffee.

@danprimack Wait. What?

Went the the movie theater last night. One of the pre-show commercials was for Anduril. Apparently we're all supposed to go out and buy military drones?

@MeghanBobrowsky Grading people on AI use generally doesn’t end well…

Scoop: Mark Zuckerberg is building a CEO agent to help him do his job, according to a person familiar with the project. Employees are also adopting AI agents and AI tools internally, namely My Claw and Second Brain, in a bid to speed up work, as they get graded on AI use.

@deedydas :-0

Karpathy's Autoresearch pushed my vibecoded Rust chess engine AI from "expert" to a top 50 grandmaster, a #311 chess engine. It ran over 70 experiments on its own and tried to hill climb to the top ELO score it could, landing at 2718!

@shutupnaina What the??? 🤣🤣🤣

i need to sit with the person who wrote this ad😭😭
