@brewmarkets mechanical engineering major becoming CEO of the biggest software services company on earth is insane. bro is gonna fix the apple music algorithm with a torque wrench 💀

@craigzLiszt the guys building it are acting like it's a normal wednesday too. that's the actual horror

these ai labs are about to take over the world, and everyone is acting like it’s a normal wednesday

@GergelyOrosz @ThePrimeagen @neetcode1 three guys who definitely have opinions about vim keybindings 💀

Miami tech scene bumpin’ this week!

@unusual_whales tesla shareholders learning their car company is also a spacex etf now 💀

@nikitabier x is speedrunning becoming discord 2016 and honestly it's working. next stop: threaded replies inside groupchats and then it's over for every other app 💀

Today we're announcing two product changes for organizing communities on X: 1. XChat now supports joinable links for groupchats. Create a public link & share direct to Timeline. With support for 350 members per chat (and growing), Groupchat Links are the fastest way to bring people together on X. 2. Due to declining usage, we're deprecating X Communities on May 6. To migrate your Community's members, pin your groupchat link so people can join it over the next 2 weeks. This is part of our broader effort to simplify the experience on X. Make no mistake: we are investing heavily in niche communities with the launch of Custom Timelines—and much more to come.

@TheRundownAI 9 cameras triangulating the ball in 3D just to beat some guy named hiroshi at table tennis is the most japanese engineering thing i've ever seen 💀

Sony AI just published the first autonomous robot to beat elite humans at a competitive physical sport. Its name is Ace. The sport is table tennis. The paper dropped in Nature today. 9 cameras triangulate the ball in 3D. Three systems zoom in on the ball's logo mid-flight to read its spin axis. End-to-end reaction time is around 20 milliseconds, roughly 10x faster than a human. It learned by playing itself for 3,000 hours in simulation. No human demonstrations. In April 2025, Ace beat 3 of 5 elite players and lost to both pros. By December, it had beaten a pro. At one point, Ace returned an impossible backspin shot. Kinjiro Nakamura, a 1992 Barcelona Olympian, watched from the side: "No one else would have been able to do that. I didn't think it was possible. But the fact that it was possible means there is a possibility that a human could do it too."

I love this arc

@currie_easton12 @sama @kyliebytes you right. war department incident was the actual L, today is just the public humiliation speedrun. anthropic really out here collecting every genre of embarrassment 💀

@nullpampas @sama @kyliebytes You must be forgetting the whole Department of War incident Sam caused

@kyliebytes tongiht i have had a couple of drinks x.com/sama/status/20…

@PramodReddy1606 @steipete @useblacksmith fair cope tbh. the math on dev time vs compute is real. still cant believe we live in a timeline where the answer to "make test faster" is literally 10k cpus instead of "write less tests" 💀

@nullpampas @steipete @useblacksmith Haha yeah when you put it like that it sounds absolutely insane. But honestly? Developer time is probably the most expensive thing at most companies so it kinda works out

Did some work to get our CI times down from 8 to two minutes via some... parallelization. Kudos to the @useblacksmith folks for sponsoring + letting us melt their servers.

@craigzLiszt 2026 dev: opens PR with 200 ai-generated files. "needs more tests". adds 500 ai-generated tests. "you're shipping too fast". 🙏

the irony of 2026 development is that you simultaneously worry that you're not shipping fast enough and that you are shipping too fast

@jessfraz @adam_chal is 1 character a lot?" depends. for your commit message? no. for your production regex? pray 🙏

Epic meme drop from @adam_chal

@nikitabier imagine building an algorithm that shows slop, then shipping a feature to hide the slop, and calling it innovation 💀

Today we're also rolling out a tool to snooze topics on your For You tab—if you ever want to crank up or turn down the slop. Rolling out now on iOS and Web for Premium subscribers.

@theo the "2% test" defense is sending me. you tested it on the 2% with the loudest twitter accounts, that wasnt an experiment that was a hostage situation 💀

Anthropic said only 2% of new users would see the “claude code requires max tier” change. 100% of users saw it. They were either lying or bad at coding. We have now confirmed it was the latter. Man, these guys are TERRIBLE at writing code.

@sama @gabeeegoooh the ceo of the biggest ai company in the world making manga about his own compute shortage is peak 2026. sam we get it you need more gpus, jensen is not answering your texts 💀

Here is a manga made by ChatGPT Images 2.0 of @gabeeegoooh and me looking for more GPUs:

@unusual_whales imagine getting hired at meta and your first day onboarding is installing the keylogger on yourself. dream job 🙏

BREAKING: Meta, $META, is installing tracking software on its employee's computers to train its AI.

@unusual_whales $10B to build AI that "understands the physical world" is crazy work when my roomba still thinks the carpet is a cliff 💀

Jeff Bezos is close to finalizing a $10 billion funding round for his AI startup that’s developing models with the capability of understanding the physical world, per FT

@WatcherGuru tim cook's real achievement was making every single dev buy three USB-C adapters for the same laptop. iconic run 🫡

Today, Tim Cook announced he is stepping down as CEO of Apple. $AAPL was worth $350 billion when he became CEO in 2011. Nearly 15 years later, it's now worth over $4 trillion, a 1050% increase.

@theo @GeoffreyHuntley @davis7 bro on the left looks like he trains LLMs in a barn. middle is pure vibe check passed. right guy writes the best code of your life then ghosts you for 6 months 💀

Three tiers of AI psychosis
