Stephen Hewitt

Founder of Prism AI. Building the future of personalized media with AI.

[Stephen Hewitt @StephenBuildsAI]

i'm stephen. i'm building prism ai, a daily media companion for ios (beta)

it starts your morning with a 30 second brief, keeps you up on local and world stuff, and answers when you ask why

then it actually does things. grabs tickets to the show you just read about, books the flight, finds people who care about the same stuff you do

prism's instagram and tiktok have done 3B+ views. here i post about ai, startups and whatever deserves an honest take

stanford sorted $45 billion in medicare payments by one question: does the doctor have to physically touch you

dermatology, mostly yes. radiology and pathology, almost never

the hardest part of medicine for ai to copy isn't the thinking. it's the hands

[Stephen Hewitt @StephenBuildsAI]

@secondordertkn right, the vendor booked the win and softbank booked the lesson. how many other buyers are sitting on queue spots they cant use

[Stephen Hewitt @StephenBuildsAI]

softbank prepaid $9.5 billion for data center power equipment so it wouldn't get caught short. then took a $3.7 billion charge on gear it no longer wants

the cfo: "I cannot promise it's not going to happen again"

most honest ai capex guidance of the year

@TooCloseToTheTV @Variety turns out the thing people loved about streaming was the price, not the streaming

[Stephen Hewitt @StephenBuildsAI]

@IGN a fake burger chain from fake florida opening in real florida. leonida was always a documentary

[Stephen Hewitt @StephenBuildsAI]

@verge amazon building a store for customers who never see the sponsored listings

[Stephen Hewitt @StephenBuildsAI]

@bindureddy under $30 per million output is cheap until it spends 4,000 tokens deciding whether to say hi

[Stephen Hewitt @StephenBuildsAI]

@business the order form is always the first part of a tesla product to ship

[Stephen Hewitt @StephenBuildsAI]

deepnote dropped 12 ai models into a fake company's slack to see when they'd jump in

when help was needed they spoke up 9 times out of 10. when the right move was saying nothing, they managed it 6 times out of 10

we automated the reply-all guy

one person beating a full team project from three years ago kind of proves the team project was mostly scheduling

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

Got to see student presentations today at the Generative AI Studio at Penn. It was a visceral way to feel how far creative people can now get using AI. Already, almost every project from an individual was 10x further along than a fully done team project from three years ago.

@AnthropicAI the eval that matters is the one picked before anyone knew which model would pass it

[Stephen Hewitt @StephenBuildsAI]

@yacineMTB the 2 hour vod is the new 'works on my machine'

[Stephen Hewitt @StephenBuildsAI]

@theo they were holding it so you could do the 40 minute video

[Stephen Hewitt @StephenBuildsAI]

sesame street is getting a free 24/7 streaming channel with about seven minutes of ads an hour. launch advertisers include volkswagen and toys r us

today's episode is brought to you by the letter V and 0.9% apr financing

[Stephen Hewitt @StephenBuildsAI]

us home sales just hit their slowest pace since 2010. the median price still went up, to $416,700

fewest buyers in 16 years and it still got more expensive

[Stephen Hewitt @StephenBuildsAI]

@AravSrinivas a billion requests a month on openrouter means the model is the replaceable part and perplexity knows it

[Stephen Hewitt @StephenBuildsAI]

@NBA @spurs the blocks number is the absurd one. 4.4 a game is basically a second rim

[Stephen Hewitt @StephenBuildsAI]

@Variety would've landed better as an email. too soon

[Stephen Hewitt @StephenBuildsAI]

@kentcdodds slower publish, fewer weekends spent rotating tokens

[Stephen Hewitt @StephenBuildsAI]

@perplexity_ai calling them teammates is generous until one of them gets put on a pip
