@wolfejosh @SpiritualGanstr I grew up in that area, that area was mostly jewish. Over the years the demographics have changed and they will continue to change as islam and socialism continues to be pushed down the throats of everyday new yorkers by people who move to the city from the midwest and pakistan.

@SpiritualGanstr 100% growing up in Coney Island, Brooklyn, USA... next to Brighton Beach where 1980s Eastern European + Russian immigrants WANTED TO ASSIMILATE... comedian Yakov Smirmoff pro-America tagline was "WHAT A COUNTRY!" today Islamist immigrants HATE OUR COUNTRY

I was center-left Dem whole life Dems moved far left while my values stood firm well actually 1 value changed––b/c my party abandoned me + other Jews, er “Epstein Class”, “AIPAC money” “genocide deniers” + wont denounce this BS i’m NOW pro-gun against threat of Left violence

@NYCMayor Most last-mile package delivery is run through Amazon’s DSP

Amazon is worth $2 trillion. But it didn't deign to pay the millions of dollars it racked up in unpaid fines as its’ trucks illegally polluted our air and forced New Yorkers to breathe in their exhaust.  
We collected every dollar they owe the people of this city — and will continue to hold them accountable. In New York, corporations are held to the same standard as everyone else.  
No company — no matter how large or powerful — is above the law.

I don't think adding red-tape to the development process as a direct public mandate prevents anything. As Phase I and II are functionally protect againist a broad scope of liability. Essentially, we'd be going from a few weeks in surveying to at least a few months (amongst other reasons).

@pmarca Phase I and II ESA are conducted on data centers...

AI turns water brown. You might disagree. You might even have some evidence to the contrary. But you have to ask yourself: is this really worth losing my job over? AI turns water brown.

@TRobinsonNewEra @Keir_Starmer Europe needed new leadership years ago.

This was @Keir_Starmer for multi felon George Floyd who died of a drug overdose in the USA. He hasn't even mentioned Henry Nowak!

I wouldn't say its "the continuous rerecruitment of your own team" but there is always the growth and expanding vision. Either way most people aren't suited for early startups because they can't handle owning multiple domains. With AI, startups can stay much leaner with owner-types.

most ppl underestimate how chaotic early stage startups actually are. from personnel turnover & shifting commitments to the fact that everyone now operates with the same fomo/optionality glut you see in dating markets (dating markets are most visible form of this but this is happening everywhere). when ppl have infinite options commitment gets expensive in their mind & the evaluation period never closes.. every day is a reeval against the shadow portfolio of everything they didn’t pick. so the job of a founder is often managing the continuous rerecruitment of your own team against a moving outside option. that emotional & narrative layer is as much if not more than anything you ship.

@DJ_CURFEW My point being the PMs task of talking to people is not replaced by 40x web research. Certain parts of the organization need to remain as human as possible.

@shaolin_flow We're able to do about 40x the research we did in the past, the goal is certainly hearing the customer more than was possible before. We do have people managing the systems and reviewing to ensure it's accurate.

Today we reduced headcount by 22%. The business is the strongest it's ever been. So I think it's important to be direct about what I'm seeing and why. First, I made this decision and I own it. I did it because the way to operate at the highest level of productivity is changing, and to win the future, ClickUp needs to change with it. Second, this wasn't about cutting costs. Most savings from this change will flow directly back into the people who stay. We'll be introducing million-dollar salary bands. If you create outsized impact using AI, you'll be paid outside of traditional bands. Most importantly, I have the deepest gratitude for those affected. We're doing this from a position of strength specifically so we can take care of people properly. Everyone affected receives a package aimed at honoring their contributions and easing the transition. I only see two options: wait for this to play out gradually in the market or be honest about what I'm seeing and act proactively. THE 100X ORGANIZATION The primary change is that we're restructuring around what I call 100x org. The goal is 100x output. The roles required to build at the highest level are fundamentally different than they were a year ago. Incremental improvements to existing systems won't get us there. We need new ones. That means creating enough disruption to rebuild rather than iterate on what's already broken. The common narrative is that AI makes everyone more productive. It doesn't. Many of the workflows of today, if left unchanged, create bottlenecks in AI systems. These roles will evolve. But waiting for that to happen naturally means falling behind now. The 100x org is actually heavily dependent on people - infinitely more than today. This is only possible with 10x people that have embraced and adopted new ways of working. THE BUILDERS, AGENT MANAGERS, AND FRONT-LINERS — THE BUILDERS: 10X ENGINEERS I don't think most companies have internalized what's actually happening with AI in engineering. The common narrative is that AI makes all engineers more productive. That may be true in isolation, but at an organization level - that is the farthest thing from reality. Here's what we've validated recently at ClickUp: the great engineers, the ones who can orchestrate, architect, and review, are becoming 100x engineers. They're not writing code. They're directing agents that write code. The skill is judgment. AI makes the best engineers wildly more productive, and everyone else using AI slows these engineers down. Think about it - the bottlenecks are (1) orchestration - telling AI what to do, and (2) reviewing - what AI did. Everything is leapfrogged and no longer needed. So who do you want orchestrating and reviewing code? And how do you want your best engineers to spend their time? If your best engineers are spending time reviewing other people's code, then this is inherently an inefficient bottleneck. These engineers can review their agent's code much faster than reviewing human code. The new world is about enabling your 10x engineers to become 100x. The wrong strategy is to push every engineer to use infinite tokens. Companies doing this are celebrating 500% more pull requests. But customer outcomes don't match the volume of code being generated. I call this the great reckoning of AI coding, and every company will face this soon if not already. More code is just another bottleneck to the best engineers, and ultimately to your company's impact as well. — THE BUILDERS: 10X PRODUCT MANAGERS Product management and design roles are merging. Designers that have customer focus, become more like product managers. And product managers that have intuition for UX become more like designers. The bottleneck of user research is gone. It takes us just one mention of an agent to kickoff research and analyze results. The bottleneck of product <> design iteration is also gone. The product builder iterates on their own, along with agents and skills that ensure alignment with quality and strategy. Also controversial today - I believe that the wrong strategy is to have your PMs shipping code - that just introduces another bottleneck that the best engineers will waste their time on. To be clear, PMs should be coding but they should do this in a playground to iterate, validate, and scope. That code should not go to production. Everything outside of managing systems, orchestrating AI, and reviewing output becomes a bottleneck. That's why the other roles that are critical along with these are the systems managers (to reduce bottlenecks) along with a bottleneck you can't replace - customer meeting time. — THE SYSTEM MANAGERS Ironically, the people that automate their jobs with AI will always have a job. They become owners of the AI systems - agent managers. We have many examples of these people at ClickUp. The underlying systems in which we operate are absolutely critical to get right. I think most companies are delusional to think they can iterate on existing systems and compete in this new world. You must create enough disruption so that old systems are deprecated entirely. If there's any definition for 'AI native' that's what it is. — THE FRONT-LINERS In a world that will become saturated with AI communication, the human touch will matter more than anything to customers. This is a bottleneck that you shouldn't replace - even when agents are high enough quality to do video meetings. One-on-one meeting time with customers is something that shouldn't be automated. The systems around the meetings should be - so that front-liners spend nearly 100% of their time with customers. REWARDING 100X IMPACT In a world where companies are able to do so much more with less, where does that excess money go? In our case, much of the savings in this new operating model will flow directly back to those that enabled it. We must reward people that create productivity accordingly. This aligns incentives on both sides. Plus, in a world where your best people create 100x impact, you can't afford to lose them. You should aim to retain these employees for decades. The context they have and their ability to efficiently orchestrate and review will be nearly impossible to replace. Compensation bands of today should be thrown out the door. We're introducing $1 million cash/year salary bands with a path available to nearly everyone in the company if they produce 100x impact by creating or managing AI systems. THE FUTURE Nearly every company will make changes like these. The ones that do it proactively will define what comes next. The future is not fewer people. It's different work, new roles, and better rewards for those who embrace it. We're already seeing entirely new roles emerge, like Agent Managers, that didn't exist a year ago. ClickUp is positioning to lead this shift, not just internally, but for our customers too. I've never been more certain about where we're headed.

algorithmic living

@signulll Its incredible how people have to invent a drug to stop shoving fat food down their throats.

serious question: did humans accidentally invent a drug that kills *desire* altogether?! that would be an absolute remarkable development for a species.

@shaunmmaguire What are your thoughts on open source models as threats? It seems the west is very poorly positioned to combat the large degree of viruses (including mind-viruses) that are continually distributed to the public. The long term solution seems tough regulation (i.e. censorship)

We misunderstood the TikTok threat model The algorithm is *not* manipulated TikTok itself is banned in China They use a different app (Douyin) Douyin’s algorithm is: maximize harmony TikTok’s algorithm is: maximize division It’s not manipulated on specific topics (it was occasionally in the past) Why do we allow an app that’s banned in China? I’m open to Douyin in America but TikTok must be banned This is reverse Opium Wars; or digital covid

@nikunj just one more skill and we have AGI

Man, /goal is just AGI if given the right tools.. Like what do you mean you went through all the entire database of 2k+ line items, fixed all the product images, the frontend bugs caused by different images, the descriptions, used browser harness to get real-time info from the web, used web search for fact checking, wrote scripts for all the work you did for the future.. and ran for 2 hours while I met founders for coffee. I'm just shook 😅

@wolfejosh Revisionist history pushed by loud voices. NYC has come a long way since Bloomberg, what a shame.

What does "Nakba" mean? Coined in August 1948 it means "the Arabs’ humiliating military defeat by the Jews/Israelis after seven Arab states invaded, not the displacement of Palestinians. Zureiq blamed Arab disunity, weakness, and failure to modernize."

A person with no technical knowledge can 1000x their productivity by understanding how to use a terminal and APIs. This is like going from a monkey to a person.

@pmarca I hope this would be discussed in art schools

It’s beautiful.

@yacineMTB Vast majority of muslim jews (they call themselves palestinian) are decendents of forced converts during the colonization by the arabs. They dont see themselves as jews because they dont know.

There are Muslim Jews out there believe it or not

@NYCMayor > administration is committed to fighting antisemitism You are the worst mayor for new yorkers at this time. We need leaders like Bloomberg/Giuliani.

I am outraged that a swastika flag was raised overlooking Washington Square Park. This hateful antisemitic act was meant to spread fear among and intimidate Jewish New Yorkers. It has no place in our city. Our administration is committed to fighting antisemitism in all its forms and protecting the safety of Jewish New Yorkers. The NYPD Hate Crime Task Force is investigating this despicable act, and I am confident those responsible will be held accountable.

@NYCMayor It seems the arabs lost a civil war... it's not hard to look up history

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed. Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

To sell is to understand the customer's problem better than they do.

@garrytan >everyone will have in 2028 surely this would be a different form, which meaningfully changes the output

The biggest alpha leak of 2026 is that you can tokenmax $10k/mo with OpenClaw/Hermes + GBrain and get the AI that everyone will have in 2028 for $100/mo, but you can get it now, and that is the biggest single unlock you can have vs your competition
