Startup sales gold:

Turns out "Claude Code over files in S3" quickly becomes "rebuild half the data warehouse stack" 🫠 Schemas, datasets, lineage, file refs, etc. OpenAI's Data Agent post made us feel slightly less insane 😄 Read more: datachain.ai/blog/openai-da…

Total token use as a measure of AI literacy is wrong headed. In my experience, after some baseline, more token use is inversely correlated with competency using AI.

@terronk @julien_c probably security? (banks are conservative for a, well, good reason). Good banks do use AI and copilots though, including agentic .. and for quite a while. It would be usually something like MS provided via VS Code, etc.

No… they are

OpenAI's data agent - how structured / SQL data done right: openai.com/index/inside-o… 🎥🔊🖼️ Multimodal data is harder: schemas and lineage aren't explicit - they must be inferred from Python code. The upside: a single language removes an entire layer of context and simplifies reasoning. ✨ True meaning lives in the code ✨

LLMs broke out once text data hit scale. Neuro is entering its own scaling era - EEG, DICOM/NIfTI imaging, 3D-scans. Guess which part breaks first 👀 The data stack. datachain.ai/blog/neuro-dat…

Or may be people won't care about this soon. Just some code that nobody is even reviewing touching directly at all.

What "skill" is it to also generate succinct code? Can it be trained or models tuned to care a lot about it?

Are there SE benchmarks that also measure "simplicity" and / or design of the generated code? Almost all time now just goes into "keep it simple", "refactor", etc ... Generating some code that just works is not an issue anymore.

DBT + Fivetran 🚀 A huge milestone for the "modern data stack". Consolidation is on - who's next? Snowflake ❄️? Databricks 🔥? But maybe that doesn’t even matter. The next wave is here: Multimodal data stack It's not replacing the old one - it's for different users: 🤖 AI, not Analytics 🧠 Unstructured, not tabular 📂 Files, not tables 🐍 Python, not SQL ⚙️ Way more CPU/GPU-hungry 😅 Tabular data is just one modality - and whoever wins multimodality might own tabular too. Such an exciting time to be in the front row of this race 🔥

@Wattenberger just an observation: anthropic models do this in general (create a lot of tests files and reports) ... interestingly, working with GPT-5 - completely different experience. Not saying it is better at the end - but workflow is very different

I found the new "project_final_final.png" if you've been using Sonnet 4.5, you know what I mean

Today we're launching Tasklet — an AI agent for automating your business. Unlike ChatGPT, @TaskletAI actually does the work for you: connecting to your tools, triggering automatically, and handling tasks while you sleep.

Is there already a "Jervis"-like app that summarizes updates from agents when you are not at your computer and can get voice inputs to then feed back to those agents?

@itunpredictable it will end up with tiktok/reels … and that will stick

...if it sticks

this represents a pretty profound shift in the medium

AI isn't just about text and code. What about sounds, videos, and sensors? 🎧🎬🔬 I’ll be at @MLOpsWorld Summit (Oct 6-9 in Austin, TX) sharing how to query inside the file ⚡️ Come nerd out with me in Texas 👋🤠 #MLOpsWorld2025

Look, say what you will about it, but right click editing a PHP file in an FTP client with upload-on-save is still the tightest and fastest feedback loop I've ever had in my life. We actually don't know how to do this anymore as an industry.

🚨 Big milestone: our AI discovered new Parkinson’s drug leads. - Searched 40B molecules for $5 - 134 compounds made in 11 weeks - 14 hits, strongest at 110 nM Published today in the special issue of JCIM — my first scientific paper. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

I cannot even fathom the terror this poor woman must have felt, and the hopelessness. 😞 We should all be ashamed that this is possible to happen in the world, and *especially* that is possible to happen on public transportation, in a city, in the US. x.com/MyLordBebo/sta…

There's a trap I see AI/ML teams fall into with video, audio, and multimodal data. 🎥🎧👽 I wrote a blog post about it (with memes). In 🧵
