This company has no idea what it's doing

[Amir Efrati @amir]

new: Meta is doing a 180, trying to be vanguard of token-minimizing.

2 months ago Meta epitomized tokenmaxxing, on track to spend billions a year on claude etc.

It is as it should be

Seeing elevated trains cut through suburban areas like this makes me feel very content. A sort of busy orderliness to it.

@tjack @TownAI Serious question. What does this do that Claude doesn't?

Next time a VC tells you your company is not VC-scale, send them this

@ILLRAISER Glad you've back home friend

@LDrogen Can you point me towards 1-2 sources where I can read the counterargument to this?

[AleksMist @Aleks_Mist]

They are marketing videos meant to attract talent. Researchers want to see their peers, not Nicole Kidman, demoing the product.

[Jon Hernandez @JonhernandezIA]

Why are AI labs with massive budgets not hiring proper camera people To demo their product?

Is it a strategy itself?? Too look more eng packed??

Honestly those demos with a bit of production and a decent actor / presenter would be 10x as effective

It's not that hard, look at YouTube...

@Noahpinion I don't think this is as high as other flavors of misuse by malevolent actors

[AleksMist @Aleks_Mist]

Bad take

DESIGN: THE FIRST AI CASUALTY

I'm increasingly sure that 2026 signals the end of product design as a full-fledged stand-alone function within companies. If so, it will be the first role / function to be eliminated by AI on a go-forward basis.

Instead of hiring FT designers, startups are hiring / will hire design consultants to create a design system that the founder likes (this takes a few weeks max). Once the design system is finalized, PM/Eng feed it into their AI tool of choice to generate prototypes. The design system is refreshed annually by the same consultant.

Larger companies will likely not backfill design roles and will do some targeted attrition to reduce the design department to 20% the size it is today.

If you're a designer, I think you have two choices:
1. Become an entrepreneur: Start a design agency and become the go-to resource for design systems for startups and even larger companies. This can be a good recurring revenue business.
2. Become a builder: Add PM/Eng responsibilities to become a product builder.

Would suggest you embrace this proactively vs waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I'm really sorry about this - some of my best friends and the people I admire most and have learnt the most from are designers - but it seems inevitable.

[AleksMist @Aleks_Mist]

I dunno seems kinda bad

New: The US military has significantly depleted its stockpile of key missiles during war with Iran & created “near-term risk” of running out of ammunition in a future conflict should one arise in next few years, per experts & 3 people familiar w/ recent internal Pentagon assessments.

Reporter: Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ?

Trump: It wasn't a depiction. I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor. And had to do with red cross as a red cross worker, which we support and only the fake news could come up with that one.

I will be surprised if <5% of Americans file their taxes with Claude (or similar) next year. Then 15% the year after that.

[Henry Shi @henrythe9ths]

Tax season is here and a connector is all it takes to make @claudeai way more useful.

Checkout what we just shipped:

Connect TurboTax or Aiwyn Tax (formerly Column Tax) to Claude to estimate your refund, see what you may owe, and get a better understanding on the forms before you file.

@BPaves He's toast

@MrImranPk I don't think that's @satyanadella

[AleksMist @Aleks_Mist]

The best way to explain East Bay vs South Bay to people not from California is that the first one is Alysa Liu and the second one is Eileen Gu.

[AleksMist @Aleks_Mist]

@giansegato I think this is exactly it.
