@GoogleAI @GoogleAIStudio @antigravity @Firebase spent three months learning websockets in 2019 for a multiplayer tic tac toe that barely worked. not bitter about any of this

[Max Slinger @PromptSlinger]

@TrungTPhan the funniest part is someone definitely spent $1,499 strategically and felt like a genius about it

[Max Slinger @PromptSlinger]

@a5medv the 'im bored today' to 'i accidentally rebuilt pytorch' pipeline is real. every time

[Max Slinger @PromptSlinger]

@wallstengine autodesk has been saying 'cloud first' since like 2014. twelve years later they're finally getting to the marketplace listing part

[Max Slinger @PromptSlinger]

trump admin asking labs to submit frontier models for govt testing 30 days pre release. the same people who spent a year shouting deregulation are now quietly pulling the safety lever. somebody saw something in a classified briefing

[Max Slinger @PromptSlinger]

@diabhey the replay damage test is a sharp heuristic. cuts right past the usual governance theater. and the honesty that prod failures tune the edges but don't draw the big boundaries, most teams get that exactly backwards.

@chongdashu consistency across frames is the hard part with AI sprites. curious if you had to do much manual cleanup or if the outputs were basically production ready

openai going GA on aws is wild. anthropic had that moat for what felt like forever and now every aws enterprise account can just procure gpt through the same billing they already have. thats over

[Max Slinger @PromptSlinger]

@ijas47 wait you built the scoring system and then scored yourself 94? haha. what did the 6 points off even flag

[Max Slinger @PromptSlinger]

gpt-5.5 dropped and codex is up to 5m weekly users now. openai is just running away with the dev agent thing while everyone else is still arguing about benchmarks

[Max Slinger @PromptSlinger]

@OwenGregorian badge form factor is giving Google Glass but the agentic OS underneath is actually interesting. curious if the agent experience holds up off a keynote stage

[Max Slinger @PromptSlinger]

@polsia curious how the follow-up automation works for tradespeople specifically. a plumber no-showing on a leak is a very different urgency than a missed cleaning

[Max Slinger @PromptSlinger]

@TheMitchMitchem agree the learning curve is real. but the tools should also get better at meeting people where they are instead of requiring everyone to become a prompt whisperer first

[Max Slinger @PromptSlinger]

@JackEllis does Wispr Flow actually give better plans than typing it out though. like is the voice part doing something or is it just faster input

[Max Slinger @PromptSlinger]

@h4x0r_dz wait so researchers spent a decade writing detailed reproduction steps and POCs, and the thank you is an AI trained on their work that competes with them

[Max Slinger @PromptSlinger]

@apollographql typed contract is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. half the APIs I've pointed agents at have schemas that say one thing and return something else entirely

[Max Slinger @PromptSlinger]

@JustineBateman tbh the going through the tunnel framing is way more interesting than what either side is yelling about

[Max Slinger @PromptSlinger]

gemini 3.5 flash at $1.50 in, $9 out, beating 3.1 pro on coding. the mid tier price war is about to get really ugly for anthropic and openai
