We're all talking about what AI means for software. The real question is what it means for everyone - and everything - else. x.com/af3/status/201…

@Heritagecricket Could be a great first international outpost for Intown Golf Club…

I have a dream about turning this place into an immersive old Tom Morris themed golf experience, golf sims, bar, play the old course with hickories, etc.... just need the £££ 🤣🤣 who's in with me?

I’m really enjoying the neo-steampunk era that is useful and not purely aesthetic.

@rohindhar 1461 is gonna go massively above list.

Some homes for sale in San Francisco I toured today

My 3yo wanted to use the computer like me so I made him his own terminal. He types whatever he wants, it responds with fun messages. No external deps, no ads, just keyboard practice and cause-and-effect thinking. He thinks he's hacking. github.com/meimakes/tiny-…

The movie that Michael Bay is going to make about the Frontier AI Go-to-Market Wars is gonna be sick

@FranWalsh73 Do contributions to this count against the $19K gift limit? And, what are the distinct advantages of this account relative to a UTMA/UGMA?

Two parents. Same income. Same kid's age. One opens a Trump Account before April 15. One assumes it's only for newborns. By retirement: One has $2.7M. One has $0. Most parents don't know this account was built for kids already born. Here's everything you need to know: ↓

@ankurnagpal I’ll forward you the PRD…

A big new consumer category will be an AI house manager for the entire family Can live in a group chat and can handle tasks like: - Manage groceries - Plug into home security - Scheduling maintenance & cleaning - Smart home controls and automations Who's building this?

Maybe this is intuitive to those of us who build software, so let me crib a line from @johnrichards here: Tools used to build software can be probabilistic, but the software itself — at least for now — needs to be deterministic. In John’s world at @officiallyiru, AI-native SDLC doesn’t just speed up velocity. It can be used in the product to improve threat detection, surface risks faster, and improve policy generation. But the application of all those still has to be applied deterministically. Enterprise software buyers are seeking burden transfer. They are buying dependable outcomes. Could OpenAI and Anthropic build their own ERP? Sure, but I think they know that 1/ there’s far more value to be created building for greenfield and enhancing their own core product (models / inference), and 2/ if they succeed at #1, ASI will let them migrate off of their ERP pretty easily, having inflated away the data portability costs.

The best early stage hires are radically different from a few years ago: multi-hyphenate, commercial generalists. The engineers want to talk to customers and the business people write code. High agency and AI native instead of heads down 10x performers.

This is one aspect of what the Citrini piece does get right. If your profits are mostly predicated on consumers not having enough time to shop around… NGMI

@benjaminencz can you satisfy my team’s curiosity about how you named @ashbyhq and explicitly disclaim that I bear no part in it

I route my mundane and/or slightly embarrassing queries to ChatGPT or Gemini now so that I keep up appearances with Mr. C

3/ Hierarchical project context. I get why projects ringfence context — but the current model is too binary. What I want: project-specific context promoted as highest importance/relevance, but with the ability to still draw on broader context layers — company-wide, public, and user-specific. Right now it feels like Claude inside a project can't see context that exists in other projects the same user has access to, which is a major limitation. I shouldn't have to manually ferry context between my own projects. The ideal is a tiered relevance model, not a hard wall.

2/ Personal account portability. Love that a free Personal plan shows up in the account switcher. I had a paid Max plan before my company adopted Teams. I want to associate that personal account so if I ever leave, my Claude history and context come with me. Right now the risk of losing personal continuity discourages people from joining Team plans — hurts the enterprise sales motion.

.@mattpiccolella & co.: three feature requests from a Team plan power user running multiple product teams on Claude:

Airlines were fundamental, essential, and transformational to modern life. And yet, owning stock in them over the last half-century hasn’t been a great move. Perishable inventory, commodity pricing, capex that never stops, input costs you don’t control, and customers who’ll switch the moment someone’s a penny cheaper. Consumers won. Shareholders lost. Lesson in there for the inference companies.
