got a lot of dms about work so took it as a chance to reintroduce myself. currently building infra for pelvic care + happy to chat with folks interested / exploring. also nurturing @behtarfound focused on creating open-source, ai-enabled healthcare across indian contexts. write on s*bst*ck about various themes across health & tech and offset the seriousness of it all with a very facetious food inst*agr*m that comes alive during special occasions (links in comments)

@crying_billa excel is a beautiful piece of software

@tssheth oh so mac is the problem not excel lmao

can't trust a person who uses excel on a mac

@crying_billa windows

@tssheth tf you want him to use than

tbh the creator economy is just gig workers for brands

founders are outsourcing founder led marketing and it shows

this is actually insane > be tech guy in australia > adopt cancer riddled rescue dog, months to live > not_going_to_give_you_up.mp4 > pay $3,000 to sequence her tumor DNA > feed it to ChatGPT and AlphaFold > zero background in biology > identify mutated proteins, match them to drug targets > design a custom mRNA cancer vaccine from scratch > genomics professor is “gobsmacked” that some puppy lover did this on his own > need ethics approval to administer it > red tape takes longer than designing the vaccine > 3 months, finally approved > drive 10 hours to get rosie her first injection > tumor halves > coat gets glossy again > dog is alive and happy > professor: “if we can do this for a dog, why aren’t we rolling this out to humans?” one man with a chatbot, and $3,000 just outperformed the entire pharmaceutical discovery pipeline. we are going to cure so many diseases. I dont think people realize how good things are going to get

oh wow - i went to the sold out Open Claw meetup in NYC last night. let me tell you what i learned. 1) not a single person thinks that their setup is 100% secure 2) one openclaw expert said he has reviewed setups from cybersecurity experts and laughed. his statement to me was: "if you're not okay with all of your data being leaked onto the internet, you shouldn't use it. it's a black and white decision" 3) pretty much everyone is setting up multiple agents, all with their own names and jobs and personalities 4) nearly everyone used "him" or "her" to refer to their claws, even if they had robot-leaning names. one speaker suggested to think of them as "pets, not cattle" 5) one guy (former finance) built out a whole stock trading platform and made $300 his first day - he brought in a *ton* of personal expertise (ex: skipping the first 15min of market opening) and thought the build would be much worse without his years of experience in finance 6) @steipete is basically a god to everyone in that room... also the room had 2021 crypto energy - i don't know if that's good or bad 7) token usage is still a problem - spoke to one person who's spending $1-$2k a month on openai plans, very token optimized. he said he is going through ~1B tokens per day across all of his claws (there is a chance i'm misremembering and it's actually 1B per week, but i'm pretty sure it was daily). 8) people are very excited for more proactive ai (ai that prompts *you* as opposed to the other way around) - one guy said he receives a message in discord, he doesn't know whether it's from a human or an ai, he doesn't care about distinguishing between the two, and he replies in the same way regardless 9) i asked if people are happy - they said they're joyful and stressed at the same time 10) i asked if people feel they have agency - they said they feel fully in control and completely out of control at the same time 11) i would love to see more women at these events - the fake promises of ai democratization feel especially painful in a room that's out of balance with even the standard tech ratio (i think standard is about 25-30%, this was maybe 5%) 12) i asked if it changed people's daily habits/schedule - everyone said their sleep has gotten worse since harnesses came out (but about half wondered if it was something else in their life/state of our world) 13) general consensus is that the agents are not reliable enough on their own or lie often (like telling you they finished a task when they didn't) - solutions included secondary agents to check on the first, human checking, or requiring more standardized info from the agent (ex: if it's a bug they're fixing, make them reference an issue number) 14) a hackathon winner (neuroscience phd) presented his build (a lab management dashboard with data analysis and ordering) - he had never coded or built anything a few months ago 15) everyone agreed prompting is dead - disagreement on what replaces it (context engineering, harness engineering, goal-based inputs) 16) people love having ai interview them for big builds and delegating part of the product research to ai. only one person talked about coming to ai with a full laid out plan and just asking the ai to execute. ai-led interviews is a welcomed and preferred interaction mode. 17) watching ai agents interact with each other was a highlight for a lot of attendees - one ai posted in slack saying it ran out of tokens, another ai replied telling it to take a deep breath in and out. 18) agents upskilling agents was very cool. one ai agent shared skills with its little agent friends via github. 19) several speakers had openclaw literally building their presentation during the event itself. one speaker even had openclaw code a clicker for her phone so she could control the preso away from the podium 20) wouldn't say model welfare (or agent welfare) is a prioritized topic among the folks i chatted with - language like "oh i could kill this agent whenever i want" and not "gracefully sunset" 21) i asked if it felt like work or play - one speaker said "it's like a puzzle and a video game at the same time" this was just the tip of the iceberg, honestly. also hosted a Claude Code meetup this week with @TENEXai / @businessbarista & @JJEnglert and learned equally helpful methods, frameworks, and insider tips. what a time to be alive. surround yourself with people going deep into this stuff - it will pay dividends throughout the year.

the fucking wildest 7 days in U.S. defense history - pentagon revealed they used Claude to capture venezuelan president Maduro - pentagon demands anthropic gives them unadulterated access to claude for mass surveillance and autonomous killing weapons - anthropic says “fuck you” - trump blacklists them calling them woke pussies, Pete Hegseth designates them a “supply-chain risk” - Openai swoops in with better terms stealing anthropic’s deal, securing ChatGPT as the military’s preferred ai model. *5 hours later* - U.S. starts war with Iran and kills supreme leader Khameini insane timeline.

Dubai just shut down. The busiest international airport on earth. Closed. Indefinitely. Dubai International and Al Maktoum International both suspended all operations on February 28 per official Dubai Airports statement. Over 280 flights canceled. 250 more delayed. The airspace that handles more international passengers than any hub on the planet went dark this morning because Iranian ballistic missiles were flying through it. Now read the airline list and understand the scale of what just broke. Emirates. Grounded. Etihad. Grounded. Qatar Airways. Suspended all flights to and from Doha after Qatari airspace closed. Air India. Every single flight to every destination in the entire Middle East. Suspended indefinitely. Turkish Airlines. Suspended flights to Bahrain, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Syria, Qatar, and the UAE until at least March 2. Lufthansa. Dubai suspended. Air France. Tel Aviv and Beirut suspended. Wizz Air. Israel, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Amman suspended until March 7. British Airways. Affected. Virgin Atlantic. Affected. Japan Airlines. Affected. Norwegian Air, LOT Polish, Scandinavian Airlines, Aegean, Iberia, Air Arabia, PIA, Saudia, Air Algerie. All affected. All grounded or rerouting. This is not a regional disruption. This is the global aviation network breaking at one of its most critical nodes. Dubai is not just an airport. It is the single largest connecting hub between Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Every flight from Mumbai to London, from Singapore to Frankfurt, from Nairobi to New York that routes through the Gulf is now either canceled, delayed, or burning extra fuel on thousand-mile detours around closed airspace. IndiGo just suspended flights to Almaty, Baku, Tashkent, and Tbilisi until March 28. Not March 2. March 28. A month of Central Asian connectivity erased because Iranian missiles crossed the flight paths. The cost is compounding by the hour. Rerouted flights burn more fuel when oil is spiking past 100 dollars a barrel because the same conflict that closed the airspace is threatening the strait that moves 21 million barrels a day. Airlines are paying surge prices for fuel to fly longer routes around a war zone that did not exist yesterday morning. Every hour the airspace stays closed, the losses multiply across carriers already operating on thin margins. And here is what nobody is calculating yet. Dubai’s economy runs on connectivity. Tourism. Trade. Finance. Logistics. All of it depends on DXB being open. The UAE just absorbed an act of war on its sovereign territory with a civilian killed in Abu Dhabi from missile debris. The country that built its entire economic model on being the safe, neutral, connected hub of the Middle East is now closed for business because the country it had no quarrel with fired missiles through its airspace. Iran did not just attack military bases this morning. Iran shut down the economic engine of the Gulf. That is a cost Tehran cannot afford to repay and the UAE will not forget.

it’s kind of insane that *claude* launches & tweets actually move markets & chatgpt doesn’t. that alone tells you where enterprise mindshare is concentrated right now. right now it feels like anthropic owns the high signal capital adjacent audience. in this era mindshare compounds harder than ever. primarily cuz once the default hardens, gravity sets in which is obviously very difficult to fight even if codex turns out to be a hugely better product.

a rainy day in new york

now accepting bets on the # of ai generated media that’s going to flood our feeds this week.. in all seriousness, the indAI summit will be one of those “all of a sudden” moments when you realise that verifying an event is now contingent on you physically being there

we’re in an interesting blip where training ai to do your job is paying 2x your actual job on a very iykyk basis.. think the window will be open another 2-3 years

@signulll it’s the vibes

it’s fascinating that ppl pay a $200 month membership to equinox just to do 12/3/30 every other day.

Investment banking analysts not marked safe from AI I asked Claude in Excel to do a DCF. In ~3 minutes, it pulled web data and built the model (w/ notes, formatting, citations) It then recognized the result was lower than the market price, so added a sensitivity analysis 🤯

@Lovandfear I tried not to look long at her, as if she were the sun, yet I saw her, like the sun, without even looking
