There are 471 offices that will be filled this Saturday but most people are only worried about 1, the presidency.

Don’t be like most people.

Exercise your right to vote for House of Rep and Senate. Why? They hold the president accountable.

You know it’s coming but you’re never prepared. Guess we’re in *her* territory now.

It’s so interesting to me how Spotify is a company renowned for its design but there are so many UX smells in their apps (UX smells = little prickly bad user experience pain points).

Step into my office let’s talk about some em.

“Nobody spends more time finding proof than a liar…” 🔥

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

The CEO of Take-Two, the company behind GTA, just said something the entire AI industry doesn't want to hear.

And he said it without being anti-AI.

Strauss Zelnick's argument is precise. AI is built on datasets. Datasets are backward-looking. Creativity is forward-looking. A model trained on everything that already exists cannot, by definition, produce something genuinely unexpected. And all hits, by their very nature, are unexpected.

Asset creation and hit creation are not the same thing. AI is getting very good at the first one. The second one is what actually makes money, builds franchises, and changes culture. Nobody has shown AI can do that yet.

The derivative property problem is real. You can clone GTA with existing technology. You could do it before AI. It would take 3 years and look identical. It still wouldn't sell. Because it isn't GTA. It's a clone of GTA.

And consumers, despite what the industry occasionally pretends, can feel the difference between something genuinely new and something assembled from the residue of things that already worked.

Thousands of mobile games ship every year. 0 to 5 hits get made. The same studios make them every time. The technology to make more games has been commoditized for years. It didn't democratize hit creation. It just flooded the market with more forgettable product.

The Silicon Valley thesis that AI unlocks game creation for everyone is true in the same way that cheap cameras unlocked filmmaking for everyone. They did. And the same 5 studios still make the movies everyone watches.

What Zelnick is saying, without quite saying it, is that the thing AI cannot replicate is taste. The instinct for what hasn't been done yet. The cultural antenna that detects the gap in the market before the data can see it.

Data tells you what people wanted. Hits tell people what they want next.

Those are different jobs.

@SportingLogical Duren for Giannis?

AI is making you stupid. Today, we're introducing the all new Oboe, designed to make you smarter.

Think about the last 10 answers you got from an LLM. How many of them do you actually remember? Probably none, because LLMs are not good teachers.

But @oboelabs helps you learn the way humans are supposed to: through guided conversations, frequent checks for understanding, real-time adjustments, and multiple formats for all learning styles.

Here's everything we're introducing today:

@SportingLogical loved your Giannis video. What do you think about Detroit? Duren (sign & trade) and filler for Giannis. Duren is only 22. Great for Milwaukee. Cade needs an offensive running mate. Win-win for everyone.

99% of Ramp uses ai daily. but we noticed most people were stuck — not because the models weren't good enough, but because the setup was too painful and unintuitive for most. terminal configs, mcp servers, everyone figuring it out alone.

so we built Glass. every employee gets a fully configured ai workspace on day one — integrations connected via sso, a marketplace of 350+ reusable skills built by colleagues, persistent memory, scheduled automations. when one person on a team figures out a better workflow, everyone on that team gets it and gets more productive.

the companies that make every employee effective with ai will compound advantages their competitors can't match. most are waiting for vendors to solve this. we decided to own it.

Lovable CEO realizing their biggest model provider is now their biggest competitor.

@cesaralvarezll @acadeller Congrats on 2k! Q1 is ending soon. Hope you'll drop an update on the other goals.

@artem_gontar hey! Congrats on Yomio. Really love it. Can I dm a user question?

@JasonNjoku Like Andreessen said, the paradigm will shift when AI truly designed for teaching children becomes popular. You will start finding that kids that freely self-learn with AI are surpassing kids that use devices primarily for play. That’s why we’re building Orbit.

Lolll. Love this animation style. Can’t wait for this.

I developed a language-agnostic database migration tool called Kat. You can read about it here: https://t.co/UMpUlxoYsc

I'll write a blog post on the inspiration behind it soon. But feel free to try it out - it's also open source and I'm open to feedback.
