just some thoughts from a product guy

@bilalmahmood @TotalRecallSF SFPD has done their job, and could do more if you removed unnecessary things like the police commission.

@auweia1 Someone should build a dashboard on this.

[baroque obama @baroqueobama87]

@KenjiCapital Everything you say is true but ignoring the elephant in the room that is Oakland governance. I’d rather bet on Berkeley, Lamorinda.

@AJsaysOK @RoKhanna Unlike you some of us live in the state Ro represents and would find his time more useful spent on domestic affairs, particularly the district he represents.

@SemiAnalysis_ Have we thought that given token cost is low with Grok 4.5, people should be able to do more with less? And the infatuation with tokenmaxxing leaderboards isn’t useful?

[baroque obama @baroqueobama87]

@ParkerOrtolani Hard to imagine because he would’ve never left.

[baroque obama @baroqueobama87]

@carl_sterns @signulll Perhaps too much Instacart has leaked in.

[baroque obama @baroqueobama87]

@signulll I’ve already hated this experience with Claude. “Did I ask Chat or Code or Cowork about this?” each with what seems to be its own memory. This is going to be hell.

[baroque obama @baroqueobama87]

@carl_sterns Any truth to the whole bit about screen recording? SA makes a compelling case that it maps tasks for RLs well but never seen anyone else justify it the same way.

[baroque obama @baroqueobama87]

@BostonGlobe Have you considered Waymo?

[baroque obama @baroqueobama87]

@96hoya I believe that’s Foster City

[baroque obama @baroqueobama87]

@solve_sf @ClerkNPC Is this rolling out to all of SF? The Mission and Hayes could certainly use it.

[baroque obama @baroqueobama87]

@SawyerMerritt @Tesla @AndrewZwicker if you don’t have background in this stuff, you shouldn’t mandate the tech stack.

[baroque obama @baroqueobama87]

@signulll banger

[baroque obama @baroqueobama87]

They have the compute, the rest is history.

Scoop: Cursor is working on a competitor to Claude Cowork.

The new Cursor product, internally referred to as Sand, is its first product aimed at more casual AI users rather than developers.

[baroque obama @baroqueobama87]

Everything I keep reading about Grok 4.5 is that it’s *fast*. Anyone know how fast? Does it compare to 5.6 Sol on CBRS at 750 tokens per second?

[baroque obama @baroqueobama87]

@Procorian LOL. We’ve been waiting for this to reverse for a decade. If it’s not cloud, it’s retail. If it’s not retail, it’s cloud.

[baroque obama @baroqueobama87]

@AZJCW_26 @TODNewsHub Yes:

[baroque obama @baroqueobama87]

@DeepDishhhLover @TODNewsHub To be clear, I’m not a fan of it being a Tesla only car tunnel. I just want it to bore tunnels efficiently that allows for Muni trains to operate. Unless I’m mistaken, the whole X factor of Boring Co is Prufrock and tunnel boring.

[baroque obama @baroqueobama87]

@lokoyacap Yup full agreement:

[baroque obama @baroqueobama87]

Ultimately the smartest thing Cursor (SpaceXAI) can do is make cost to serve cheap, while being within bounds on performance to find themselves back in the game for enterprise business.
