@ravenxone @Benioff Probably should start monetizing the APIs

Does this not reduce the pricing power in the long term? The new companies over the 10 years will let their agents decide (or weigh-in) which platform to use, making an agent friendly platform helps but losing customer relationships seems too big of a trade-off. Am I missing something?

@Benioff @Scobleizer How do you monetize this ?

@markgurman ChatGPT seems to be struggling - even their AI Sora is shutdown - basic problem not solving real problems and things like generating videos using AI is just vanity for metrics

@brian_armstrong Was the cost savings of outsourcing customer support worth for Coinbase ? “In filings reviewed by Reuters, Coinbase estimated the financial impact between $180 million and $400 million”

We have zero tolerance for bad behavior and will continue to work with law enforcement to bring bad actors to justice. Thanks to the Hyderabad Police in India, an ex-Coinbase customer service agent was just arrested. Another one down and more still to come.

@thejewishtroll @deedydas Humans in meetings as AI does all the work 😀

@deedydas Sure, because more meetings is what we need for boosting productivity 🤣

@Cloudwatch199 @reedhastings How about hiring local talent

@reedhastings What a clown take. What about startups? What about young talent? What about fresh grads?

I've worked on H1-B politics for 30 years. Trump's $100k per year tax is a great solution. It will mean H1-B is used just for very high value jobs, which will mean no lottery needed, and more certainty for those jobs.

@deedydas You have lot of time ..should do something better

I read through every single job posting on OpenAI's career page. Here's everything they're working on and who they compete with.

@aakashgupta @rubenhassid Who is “this guy”? Don’t you want to give him credit especially when you are using this as lead gen to your newsletter?

This guy literally created a prompt to make ChatGPT write naturally and like you

There is currently no BART service due to a systemwide computer equipment failure.

@mohitify @pitdesi @eatwithposha Doesn’t seem worth it … does easy part of stirring and heating (stove)

@pitdesi @eatwithposha This is good. I just paid 1500 to get new Rotimatic. I should just buy this and life is set. Do you recommend it?

My new kitchen robot just made me one of the best paneer butter masalas I’ve ever had in my life.

@marcuslemonis @BedBathBeyond @FoxNews @CAgovernor

Official statement regarding @BedBathBeyond We will not open retail stores in California. This isn’t about politics — it’s about reality. California’s system makes it nearly impossible for businesses to succeed, and I won’t put our company, our employees, or our customers in that position. See attachment.

@LogicLitLatte @elonmusk lol

How can people be expected to have faith in Trump if he won’t release the Epstein files?

@Cobratate And higher insurance especially for Tesla

The worst thing about electric cars is that they cost basically the same to fill up as gas cars in terms of money. And at least 50x more expensive in terms of TIME.

@sovereignone @SawyerMerritt Agreed. Seems ChatGPT summary

@SawyerMerritt I don’t think you spent hours reviewing it, more like you fed it into GPT and asked it for you to summarize specific things because the formatting is obviously AI.

I just spent hours reviewing the final version of Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” which he will sign into law in the coming days. There's a lot of important stuff related to EVs, renewable energy, and more. Here's everything you need to know: • $7,500 EV credit for new vehicles: Ends September 30, 2025 • $4,000 used EV credit: Ends Sept 30th • EV fees: There is nothing in the bill about an annual $250 EV fee, so no need to worry about that. • Solar credit: Terminates the 30% tax credit for rooftop solar on Dec 31, 2025 • ZEV credits: While this bill does not directly eliminate regulatory Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) credits—the type that Tesla and other automakers have earned billions from by selling EVs under California’s ZEV mandate and other state-level programs—it effectively guts the system that creates demand for those credits. First, Trump’s bill eliminates penalties for automakers that fail to meet federal Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards. Previously, automakers that didn’t meet fuel economy targets had to either improve efficiency or buy credits (including ZEV credits from Tesla) to avoid stiff fines. Now, those penalties are reduced to $0, removing a major incentive to purchase credits. Second, and more significantly, Congress recently used the Congressional Review Act to revoke EPA waivers that allowed California (and the 17+ states that follow its lead) to enforce stricter emissions rules, including ZEV mandates. These waivers were the legal foundation of the state-level ZEV credit programs. Without them, states can no longer require automakers to meet ZEV sales targets or buy ZEV credits to comply. Together, these two actions remove both the federal and state compliance pressures that created the market for ZEV credits. As a result, demand for Tesla’s (and other EV makers) credits will likely collapse in the U.S., unless courts overturn the waiver revocations in the coming legal battles. Tesla can still generate ZEV credits outside of the U.S. (such as Europe). • Home Geothermal: Terminates tax credit for geothermal heat pumps and other home devices on Dec 31, 2025 • Battery manufacturing credit: The bill keeps this around, which is great, but there are new sourcing restrictions. I did my best with interpreting the complicated bill language on this topic, so please correct me if I'm wrong: It sounds like Tesla’s new Nevada LFP battery plant can qualify for the 45X credit ($35/kWh for battery cells + $10/kWh for modules) for batteries made at that facility, but it looks like it will need to meet increasingly difficult content requirements (60% U.S. content in 2026, rising year by year to 85% in 2030). If the plant uses CATL equipment, it will be tough. The batteries Tesla makes at Giga Nevada in partnership with Panasonic, as well as the batteries made at Giga Texas, should continue to qualify for the manufacturing credit as long as they meet requirements. We will get further clarification/guidance from the U.S. Treasury in the near future on the manufacturing credit which should help clear up any remaining confusion. • Qualified commercial clean vehicles credit: Cancels the credit for companies that buy electric cars or trucks, including businesses that lease the vehicles to consumers, by Sept. 30, 2025 Deduction for car loan interest for American-made vehicles: From 2025 through 2028, interest paid on loans for purchasing a personal-use vehicle will no longer be considered "personal interest" and can be deducted. To qualify for the deduction, the vehicle must meet all of the following: • Original use begins with the taxpayer. • Manufactured primarily for use on public roads (not rail-only). • Has at least two wheels. • Is a car, minivan, SUV, pickup, motorcycle, or van. • Has a gross vehicle weight rating under 14,000 lbs. • “Final assembly” must occur in the United States Max deductible interest of $10,000 per year. Deduction phases out for taxpayers with income above: $100,000 (single) and $200,000 (joint). • Advanced manufacturing production credit: Terminates credit for wind power components after 2027 and disqualifies facilities that use certain components from China and other “foreign entities of concern.” • Clean electricity production credit: Phases down tax credits for low-emissions electricity sources like wind, solar, nuclear and geothermal power. New restrictions on the use of components from China. Wind and solar projects can still claim the credit as long as they either begin construction within a year of the law’s enactment or come online before the end of 2027. Nuclear, geothermal or battery projects would have more time. They also removed a controversial tax for projects that have ties to Chinese firms The bill kills clean electricity investment and production tax credits for wind and solar that have been in place since 2005 and 1992. Solar and wind farms that enter service after 2027 would no longer be eligible for the credits, a big blow to the US' renewable industry. • Energy efficient home improvement credit: Terminates a tax credit for energy audits and renovations to improve efficiency by Dec. 31, 2025 Terminate the credit for companies that buy electric cars or trucks, including businesses that lease the vehicles to consumers, by Sept. 30, 2025 • Clean hydrogen production credit: Companies must begin construction by the end of 2027 to claim credits • Energy efficient credit for new homes: Terminates a tax credit for the construction of new homes that meet energy star standards by June 30, 2026 • Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit: Ends June 30, 2026 I hope this breakdown was helpful. Let me know if I missed anything.

@digitalalltech @akyshnik @Deivy_m_r Seems he mastered the Interviewing (no leetcode) and “structured thinking” as the other cofounder of leaping mentioned

@akyshnik @Deivy_m_r The rez looked like pretty standard stuff from a hands-on tech perspective. Honest question: Was there a particular skill set that set him apart from other applicant resumes?

Soham also used to guilt trip me for his being slow on PRs when India Pakistan thing was going on, all while he was in Mumbai. Next person should hire him for the Chief Intelligence Officer role.
