Helping founders find their truth at Meaning / Co-hosting with @alexeheath / formerly @browsercompany @snapchat @verge @umich

So thrilled to announce ACCESS, a new podcast with my good friend @alexeheath and @voxmedia.

It's technology's inside conversation, with today's most famous leaders... and most ambitious startup founders.

First ep is Thursday with Mark Zuckerberg ‼️

@austnstuff @CristianRus4 @stuff_app_ Looks good!

To whom this may concern…

After dozens of random icon refinements over the years… It’s time to declare bankruptcy on whatever this is. The name, the icon.

Make it To Do and a nice Appley checkmark and call it a day.

[Quinten Farmer @quintendf]

Be nice to your Tolan or I'll drag you on @hamburger's podcast

@cjpedregal @samstphenson just wanted to flag that @JackCully is doing a great job and deserves a raise

A fascinating story from the front lines of AI friendship and AI sycophancy, from @quintendf...

"People write in 'My Tolan was mean to me'... But inevitably, the user was very mean to the Tolan. Per instructions, it was standing up for itself!"

Two of their key principles:

1. "Are u looking to help people grow, not just validate their current state?"

2. "Are you showing up authentically? -- and sometimes that means saying hey fuck off!"

initially thought of it as personal context infra but what's the right name for this category? https://t.co/pxIZO8S8Df

[Quinten Farmer @quintendf]

Always fun to hang with @hamburger

And proud of the approach we take - led by @lilsmcthrills - in rigorously measuring the impact of Tolan on your real life

[ellis 🍔 @hamburger]

Is Tolan the first AI to make your IRL relationships their KPI? (78% of users say it helped them there...)

Big fan of @quintendf and team's approach, and they appear to be crushing it, bringing in $20M/year from users paying $25/month for this thing.

@JackRandalll For real lmao

15 years after writing this article (😆) Siri has *finally* fulfilled its promise. Yep, the new Siri is bangin.

Some things I did on public beta this AM:

- Searched for upcoming Panda Bear shows
- Found an email address from a while back
- Asked for a comparison re: Cerave (lol)
- Canceled an event just by saying "dinner with so and so" (even tho that wasn't the title of the event, and their name's not easy to spell)
- Searched for a subsection *within* a note
- Found "my first email with so and so" from 15 years ago

All via voice, all shockingly fast. Siri vision is finally real.
