Stoked to be on the cover & have an article published in "97 things every engineering manager should know"! Thanks @skamille . Look fwd to reading the other 96 pieces from the likes of @lara_hogan , @Lethain and @akashb . #Engineeringmanagement ♥️ Buy: amzn.to/2RASo9N

@GMJSindarov is absolutely tearing it up at candidates. Incredible performance. At this rate the world championship match might be an incredible fire fight, and might actually get @MagnusCarlsen to notice. #chesscom #candidates

Pronounce it slowly 😅 Very difficult

@SebJohnsonUK @tbpn Agree - Occam's razor vs all the galaxy brain hypotheses out there currently.

It's an acquihire. Anthropic's marketing has been 10x better than OpenAI's. So in response OpenAI has acquihired two of the best marketing minds in tech. OpenAI doesn't need @tbpn's revenue or distribution. It needs better marketing, and paying $100m-$200m for it after raising $122bn makes a lot of sense.

@jyarow @dwarkesh_sp

Ok, who does Anthropic buy? Odd Lots?

Attention is all you need

TBPN is my favorite tech show. We want them to keep that going and for them to do what they do so well. I don't expect them to go any easier on us, am sure I'll do my part to help enable that with occasional stupid decisions.

@pitdesi Haha was expecting to see this on the timeline. Although I wonder if this would be @theallinpod 😀

xAI rumored to be considering an acquisition of Tucker Carlson to counter OpenAI’s purchase of TBPN

@JohnnyRock87294 @jordihays For what I imagine is an incredible exit + upside, and this note from OpenAI. It's definitely going to be interesting to see how it plays out , but as an early supporter and daily listener super happy for them.

@vrashabh @jordihays Congrats for what? Compromising your editorial control?

TBPN has been acquired by OpenAI The world is changing quickly but TBPN will stay the same. Live every weekday just with a lot more resources. Thank you to everyone that has been a part of this journey big or small. We are 17 months in and unironically just getting started.

@DavidSHolz Isn't the new cool thing to start your own? And why need humans, do the ai version.

If openai is buying TBPN... who should Midjourney buy? 🤔🤔🤔

@johncoogan @sama Incredible. Congrats guys. Zeitgeist turmoil

TBPN has been acquired by OpenAI! The show is staying the same and we’ll continue to go live at 11am pacific every weekday. This is a full circle moment for me as I’ve worked with @sama for well over a decade. He funded my first company in 2013. Then helped us fix a serious logjam during a critical funding round a few years later. When I took my second company through YC, he was president at the time, and then when I joined Founders Fund, the first deal I saw in motion was the post-ChatGPT round in late 2022. And as we started growing TBPN last year, he was the very first lab lead to join the show. Thank you to everyone that has been a part of TBPN until now. The last year has been the most fun and rewarding part of my career and we’re excited to have more resources than ever going forward.

@jordihays Zeitgeist turmoil

@jordihays Holy shit this is real. Saw it on substack and assumed it was your April 1 joke posted late thanks to a mistake. Congrats guys!

Mistakes happen. As a team, the important thing is to recognize it’s never an individuals’s fault — it’s the process, the culture, or the infra. In this case, there was a manual deploy step that should have been better automated. Our team has made a few improvements to the automation for next time, a couple more on the way.

OK @Google can you either change the colour of the button on the right or rethink the UX so I stop accidentally ending meetings for everyone. Can send you a pr

Now that HBO Max has finally landed in the UK, I binged The Pitt… and I get the hype now. Rarely does a show hit that ADHD sweet spot this perfectly.

@karpathy Yep, Rationalising Vs Reasoning. Wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes a new kind of Dunning–Kruger where AI makes weak ideas feel robust because they’re well argued

- Drafted a blog post - Used an LLM to meticulously improve the argument over 4 hours. - Wow, feeling great, it’s so convincing! - Fun idea let’s ask it to argue the opposite. - LLM demolishes the entire argument and convinces me that the opposite is in fact true. - lol The LLMs may elicit an opinion when asked but are extremely competent in arguing almost any direction. This is actually super useful as a tool for forming your own opinions, just make sure to ask different directions and be careful with the sycophancy.

@hthieblot More and more it's building stuff for fun when not building serious stuff. Like this on my phone the other day Startupsims.com

Founders: What's the one thing you do to relax? For me, it was always playing video games 🎮

Yoo. Hand curated my X feed algo 😭😂

@hthieblot A new internet

pitch me your company in 3 word.
