@petergostev Now that ChatGPT Desktop and Codex are the same app, OpenAI should report combined user numbers. We gained 2 million Codex users in a 2 days feels disingenuous when most of them probably just hit the update button.

Ok my previous chart wasn't quite right, this is the right trajectory

Looks like Codex is growing above the earlier trend

Here is the first case study of what 8090 can do.
Working with CMS, our Enterprise team decoded a 50yr, 18M repo of COBOL and Assembly that governs billions in healthcare payments. We documented 100,000+ business rules in plain English using Software Factory, each traced to its exact source line.
The people who own Medicare policy can now read how their systems behave and change as they see fit.
Full story in the thread below.
We can do this for any large enterprise who have big, legacy codebases.

@Basedgoymemes Damn, jumped like she’s playing Prince of Persia 2.

It's been about six months since OpenClaw burst onto the scene - are you still using yours? Did it become a daily driver? Any interesting lessons or anecdotes you can share?

@jenny_wen @cursor_ai Is this a sign that there’s finally a chink in Anthropic’s employee retention armor?
English
ok! quick updates from me:
- i left anthropic (who does that?!)
- had a baby (i love her)
- and am joining @cursor_ai as head of design (eep!)
it's been a low-key dream of mine to nurture a team that cares so deeply about craft, quality, and building great tools. very excited!

it’s surprising to me how many people seem to not understand that great models are built with super high quality curated data
finding novel ways to create / get this data is a huge edge

@BrendanFoody @mercor_ai What were their reasons? Data & compute being the main bottlenecks for AI progress has always been pretty non-controversial.
English
When we were starting @mercor_ai, most of the top investors in Silicon Valley told us that the AI data market would collapse.
They had no understanding of the market, but advised us that we should pivot the business to another industry.
The most dangerous thing a founder can do is be too deferential to investors with less context.
Nvidia, OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceX, Meta, and most of the legendary companies started as deeply contrarian.
If any of the founders had listened to investor consensus, those businesses would not exist.

A cool X feature would be “Chat with Tweet”. I often read a tweet, get fascinated by the idea and want to dig deeper. Reading comments is mostly flame wars and memes. I’d rather jam with @grok on it. cc @nikitabier

@wolfejosh This feels like the “count the r’s in strawberry” problem. The observation resolution (token size) isn’t fine grained enough to represent the object.

pretty WILD
leaves me with 2 (tentative) conclusions
-1) true intelligence is outsmarting our smart machines
-2) illusions unique to human biology (brains/visual cortex) will be more useful than we knew
...and as useful as other illusions (like free will + consciousness)

I created a font called Ghost Font that only humans can read. Tested it in Fable and GPT 5.6 Sol Ultra and neither was able to decipher it correctly.

Name one thing that Europe does better than the United States.
I'll go first: Public transportation.

@LGMicahBeckwith Yes please. People should be free to practice their religion, but not at the expense of inconveniencing others.

I've received multiple media requests today asking for comment on my recent call to ban mosques in America from blaring the Muslim call to prayer through loudspeakers 5 times a day across our cities.
Just to save time, here's my official response:
Yes, I 100% want to ban mosques in America from blaring the Muslim call to prayer through loudspeakers 5 times a day across our cities.
Hope this clarifies everything and have a great weekend!

One thing that has surprised me is that shorts of @theallinpod are growing very quickly. And overall usage ramp shows this kind of content driving a huge portion of our growth.
Bad news if your content format is 30-90mins. People love 1-2min.

@karrisaarinen Notion is a fascinating company. The emperor has no clothes, but the tailoring is impeccable. A clunky product hidden under a tasteful brand. These sloppy comparison pages just make the seams more visible.
English
You know a company is starting to lose the plot when they start publishing nonsense comparison pages.
Who is juggling Linear, Jira, Rovo for AI, and Loom? 😂
(we still haven’t published a single comparison page)
