We gave birth to a daughter two days ago, and I decided to name her Intelligence.

Hi Brett, today in an email, I mentioned to a customer that our baby was born this morning. Then this afternoon, Hark sent me a notification offering congratulations and asking if I wanted to set my status to out of office, which I thought was great.

When I opened it up, though, I found my Hark Pro account wouldn't connect, so I signed out. After signing out, I tried logging back in with an account I registered yesterday, but it wouldn't let me in and said there was a network error.

I have no idea why this is happening. Could it be because I was using a VPN? All of my other AI apps are working fine.

@paulg I agree very much. I'm already preferring email services that have easy API access, especially Microsoft Exchange and Gmail, because almost all personal agents have a built-in connection with these two email providers.

@xbanboo 因为 Claude 账号被封，只能把登陆放到国外，了解到可以通过 SSH远程和UU远程使用，上周我也把 20年的Macbook Air M1 翻了出来用 🤣

@adcock_brett I’m one of them. The UI is the most visually comfortable.

@TheAppleDesign That's where Nano Texture comes in. I think they will only release a touchscreen MacBook with Nano Texture.

I can't agree more. ChatGPT can't get rid of that AI-generated feeling for everything they do. It's subtle. It's taste. I don't know.

@TokenGremlin Honestly, Claude's aesthetic just totally blows GPT out of the water.

I’ve unexpectedly started to enjoy working through Terminal.

My setup is a little unusual. Claude Code runs on a Windows PC in Japan, while the files and computing power I actually want it to work with are on my Mac mini at home. My MacBook Air is basically my cockpit: I open Terminal, connect into this setup over SSH, and work from there.

Because everything is remote, there’s a tiny amount of latency when I type—maybe a third of a second. Technically, that sounds like a disadvantage.

But I’ve realized I actually like it.

That tiny bit of friction changes the way I interact with Claude Code. I don’t just type whatever comes into my head as quickly as possible. I tend to form the thought first, then type it. I choose my words more carefully. I think more about what I actually want Claude to do before giving it the instruction.

It slows me down just enough to keep me intentional and out of autopilot.

There’s also something about Terminal itself. There are fewer visual distractions, fewer buttons to click, and less temptation to jump between things. It’s basically just me, the command line, and the task in front of me.

I originally started using Terminal because my distributed setup made it practical. But unexpectedly, the constraint itself has become part of what I like about the workflow.

Sometimes a little friction is actually useful.

I don't know what you guys do for a living, but here on X everyone's always discussing AI tools, AI models, software (app) development, and so on. I'm curious — how many of you are business owners in traditional industries? Restaurants, industrial goods, B2C, B2B trading?

I'm one of them. I run a B2B business in what most people would call a traditional industry: international trading.

I've been experimenting with AI tools for a while, starting with the simple stuff — proofreading, content generation, marketing — and moving into building actual business tools and web apps. For example, I had ChatGPT generate the HTML for a weight calculator for our products, then pasted it into Elementor on our WordPress site. It took about 3 hours to get everything right — shape selection, density, dimensions, quantities — and it works.

More recently I've been picking up things like setting up SSH keys, networking multiple PCs together, running a VPS, using Tailscale, and working with Git and GitHub. I had to learn concepts like pull requests and pushes — just a few weeks ago I was still pushing feature updates and bug fixes straight to our production server.

These things sound complicated, and I wouldn't say I understand SSH 100% even now. But nailing down these basics and setting up my own development environment has been huge. I also learned how to connect AI models to external software via MCP — I used Claude Code to build MCP servers for our own web app, so now I can work with it from Muse or ChatGPT. These days, creating an invoice doesn't even require opening the web app — I press and hold the Action button on my iPhone, tell Muse the details out loud, and the invoice is sitting ready on our web app when I finish talking. I can even have it emailed straight to the customer.

I believe this kind of personal infrastructure is about to become an essential business skill. Traditionally, running a business meant you didn't need to know the technical details — you outsourced them. You don't build your own website or set up your own ERP; you hire someone so you can focus on your core work. The problem is, outsourced solutions are never quite perfect.

But when you combine deep domain expertise with the ability to build your own tools, AI becomes far more than a chat box. That personal infrastructure makes all the difference.

Curious how you guys feel about this.

@fizzibitz @thsottiaux I agree. And putting ChatGPT and Codex as a switch button (use symbols) instead of a dropdown would save users’ time.

Personally, I do think Nike has been designing apparel and shoes that are less appealing than they did many years ago. But I still like the brand and the logo.

I want them to make a comeback, like how they were 10 years ago, or maybe even more than 10 years ago, and focus more on sports, real sports.

Claude suspended my account for rule violations, even though I was doing my usual work, the same things I have done throughout the year

Nothing illegal

@karpathy @bcherny would appreciate if you could help, the appeal process is 10 days :(

We’re moving from “AI helps me work”

to

“AI works and I approve.”

That transition feels bigger than people realize.

@marc02200 I went through the same thinking process and kept buying.
