@SIGKITTEN You see this the wrong way. If sales people can sell the worst CRM in existence their job selling Anthropic products will be walk in the park

@CGarrett_15 Reduce the burden of going public so more companies IPO and give retail investors access to upside
English

@AndrewCurran_ This is a pretty bizarre story to make the press, every company wants to sell to the enterprise. OpenAI are on the back foot. Go do it, don’t talk about doing it.
English

The WSJ is reporting that OpenAI is about to take a hard turn into enterprise.

Berber Jin@berber_jin1
scoop - OpenAI’s Fidji Simo told staff last week that the company could not afford to be “distracted by side quests” as Anthropic gains steam in the enterprise and coding markets said company execs are actively looking at areas to deprioritize wsj.com/tech/ai/openai…

@stephanie_vee Yes! Let me figure out how I can do that! My best bud claude is working on it as we speak 😂

@XOptimiser @XOptimiser this sounds so fun! Could you send the script/details?
English

We successfully played my murder mystery game this weekend!
Over the last ~2 months I used Claude code to build ‘the disappearance of Vincent Mangano’, a ridiculously intricate RPG with player backstories, clues, documents, websites etc.
AI is going to enrich our lives even more than we can possibly imagine!

@danielpearson 😂 thank you for battling flight cancellations to get here! Made it that much better!!!
English

@floydophone Amazing for people not comfortable with Claude Code CLI
English

@SullyOmarr I bookmark them and never read them again like everyone else

@trq212 @tylerangert Was happening to me too for several days, logged out of all terminals and it fixed itself
English

@tylerangert is this the first time it happened? or has it happeened in earlier versions?
English

hey @trq212 there's a bug in CC where after approving a plan claude will keep asking you to reapprove the plan or it mistakenly thinks you want to make edits to the plan
English

@juliey4 @IterIntellectus 100% - the hospital staff struggled to hide their terror when we told them to not wake us up and that well our giant healthy baby when she wakes up.
English

@IterIntellectus lol it's funny on your second baby though bc they'll be like "you need to WAKE THEM UP to eat also DO NOT use a pacifier bc it will CONFUSE THEM" and you can just laugh in their face instead and take a nap
English

the unspoken rule of postpartum nursing is that you must know everything and nothing at the same time.
know too little and they look at you like you’re endangering your child. know too much and they look at you like you’re questioning their authority.
the acceptable range of parental knowledge is whatever they personally believe, told back to them with revering deference.
like when nobody told us our daughter needed to eat every three hours the first few days. when she slept three and a half hours the head nurse looked at us like we’d committed a geneva convention violation.
sad how deep down the medical system wants compliant patients who look informed enough to not require extra paperwork but uninformed enough to do whatever they have been told to say
basically you need to figure things out on your own but when dealing with “professionals” pretend like you don’t know anything and they are your own messiah

@brettberson Zipline is one of the coolest companies ever started
English

Zipline has always done things the “wrong” way.
They launched a drone company when drones were essentially illegal in the US. They moved the whole team to trailers on a farm in Half Moon Bay to figure out how to fly. Their launcher was deep sea fishing poles from Walmart. Their landing pads were made by a bouncy castle company.
They went to Rwanda with no aviation experience, no logistics experience, no healthcare experience. Co-founder and CEO @Keller wore tennis shoes and a hoodie to meet the president of the country. The night before the launch, he was on his back in the dirt with a screwdriver in his mouth, trying to rebuild a launcher that kept destroying itself, while the president's special forces watched.
The aircraft flew. Keller was just as surprised as everyone else.
Nine months of all-nighters after that Rwanda launch, they got one hospital working reliably. Then 20 more in three months. Then 50. Then 400. Today Zipline serves 5,000 hospitals globally and has flown 135 million autonomous miles.
To find the best hardware builders in the world, Zipline often hires teenagers. Not as interns fetching coffee — as engineers who own real work. One kid joined at 15 and got offered $180K to lead a team of mechanical engineers instead of going to Stanford. He took it. Another applicant had built a full GPS system for a 3D-printed quadcopter using onboard Nvidia GPUs. While at boarding school. Keller's question for candidates: what have you built?
Keller summarized everything in one line: "We specialize in turning the impossible into the merely late."
He shares Zipline’s wild origin story in full in our conversation on In Depth.
