We fetched 871 articles published in the Guardian by Bryan Armen Graham over the last six years. It's clear that he is increasingly relying on AI. In two weeks in February he churned out nine articles classified by Pangram as fully AI-generated. Receipts below:

A spokesperson for the Guardian says this is false: "Bryan is an exemplary journalist, and this is the same style he’s used for 11 years writing for the Guardian, long before LLM’s existed. The allegation is preposterous."

I usually use a `cl` alias to launch Claude code. I mistyped `cal` just now and got this nice little calendar, I guess it's built in to OSX?

The product marketing of private jets (in this case @PilatusAircraft) is truly next level. It's aesthetically beautiful, deep in technical detail, and aspirational at every opportunity.

Does this community have a consensus opinion on precisely what the term "AI agents" means?

@Padday Main benefit is surely that the thinking actually makes the answers better! I think it’s interesting how R1’s approach actually has _less_ design than OpenAI’s clever obfuscation. It just prints tokens.

Seeing DeepSeek 'think' and 'reason' is fascinating. I think we'll increasingly see AI products expose what is happening in the background. There are two benefits: 1. It shows that the product is really working. 2. It helps people understand how it works. For (1) we've long exposed things that help people patiently wait, all the way back to % bars as computer games load. For (2), AI is a very obscure technology and so there is a new design challenge to expose it's workings. Here is a great example of DeepSeek working: x.com/eleven21/statu…

@RonanKMcGovern Yep, agreed. Feels to me like the state should help startups by simplifying regulation, fixing options, shaping tax policy, etc. Not by trying to be an incubator.

I'm unsure whether it's best for Irish entrepreneurship that governments fund startups... Because: a) startups do best when engaged with the market, and b) government investment can crowd out early stage investment (more so than gov funding of early R&D)... BUT 1. It is energising to see entrepreneurs be proactive like this below. 2. I've met a few of the people below and am big fans 3. I hope to meet the rest of you There is big é/lfg energy and I like it

Yes, we did this. This is us sending a message to the incoming government that we want Ireland to be a better place to build a technology company. We have a long way to go. Over 400 local founders, employing 8,000+ people, with €2.4 billion raised, want our government to take startups more seriously. We NEED to diversify our economy away from being a tax avoidance shop. Building homegrown technology businesses is the way we do this.

@ciaran_lee US regulators had also signaled they would block. Defund antitrust!

A decent acquisition offer was on the table for them, but the Euros put a stop to it: fortune.com/europe/2024/01… It just seems so spiteful. Are consumers better served by this outcome? Am I as an owner of multiple of their products?

The iRobot arc is so sad. It was such a cool product decade ago. I guess they struggled with competition in the space though. Now they are in a bad way, and the share price is ~5% of its peak.

Today we launch Workbench, a product I believe will change the way everyone works. Security teams need AI that helps them securely access their proprietary data and take action in real-time. Workbench gives them that superpower. Learn more at @tines_hq tines.com/workbench?utm_…

Q: How will AI affect Design? Will it commoditise the boring bits, leaving time and space for designers to shine? Or will it just usher in a new "age of average"? @intercom Off Script E04 featuring @thoughtwax is live, and it's excellent
