@jasonfried Two decades of client threads sitting in Basecamp is better context for Claude than anything a new AI-native tool can offer on day one.

@jeffbullas Fair, the six-word version only works because a wrong book goes back in the return box.

[Thomas @NetNewWeekly]

@rohanpaul_ai That 20% lands on the cloud GPU hour within a quarter, so anyone waiting for cheaper inference in 2027 should stop waiting.

[Thomas @NetNewWeekly]

UGC creators charging $250 a video just lost an app founder who filmed it herself on her phone and now lets Claude pick her hooks, takes and edits.

Holy Sh*t! Opus 5.5 can now _________

Complete the sentence.

@GergelyOrosz Forward deployed engineer is the safest AI job title going, the agent breaks on day three and the customer wants a human on the call.

[Thomas @NetNewWeekly]

SaaS vendors who kept you locked in by hiding the export button just lost that leverage, because an agent can now click through the screens for you.

[Sam Altman @sama]

6.1 Terra is here! It is good at a lot of things, but we are especially excited for this new era of computer use.

[Thomas @NetNewWeekly]

@GergelyOrosz Nobody wants to read a giant agent PR line by line, so seeing the steps the agent took is the right thing to rebuild first.

[Thomas @NetNewWeekly]

@Austen Claude managing GPT is a funny org chart for two companies fighting over the same enterprise deals.

[Thomas @NetNewWeekly]

Which part of your marketing did you quietly stop doing by hand this year?

[Thomas @NetNewWeekly]

@stripe Prepaid balance with a hard cap is the right call, nobody's handing an agent their actual card on day one.

[Thomas @NetNewWeekly]

@thsottiaux Twice the usage of Sol will sell more subscriptions than the writing upgrade, the rate limit is what people actually complain about.

[Thomas @NetNewWeekly]

Designers are going months without opening Figma, and no rival canvas ever scared Figma as much as designers deciding they don't need a canvas at all.

[Thomas @NetNewWeekly]

@gregisenberg Main Street owners buy from whoever fixed their printer last year, so the local IT guy has a head start on every AI agency.

[Thomas @NetNewWeekly]

@paulg Smoking at least came with a warning label on the pack, and nobody's printing one on the homework apps.

[Thomas @NetNewWeekly]

Codex wrote someone a working Mac app for an old scanner that has no driver anymore, which is bad news for every $99 app selling old-hardware fixes.

[Thomas @NetNewWeekly]

@justinthecity A gigawatt that's already live beats a stack of GPU contracts this year. Most of those signed orders are still waiting on power like that.

[Thomas @NetNewWeekly]

An AI cloud's IPO filing shows about 25,000 GPUs running and 461,000 signed for. I think the bottleneck this year is power and buildings, not chips. https://t.co/1xoiv4utRC

Your audience will forgive:
A typo in the caption
A shaky phone video
Posting twice in one day

Your audience won't forgive:
AI copy you never read yourself
Pretending a sales pitch is advice
Ghosting every reply under your post

Claude Haiku 5.5 costs a twentieth of Sonnet 5.5, so anyone still sorting and tagging emails on Sonnet is overpaying for the easiest work they have.
