the correlation nobody wants to admit: the more unhinged someone's slack photo, the better the engineer

the "AI destroys jobs" and "AI creates jobs" fight both miss it. it doesn't delete the job, it deletes the task. the people who grow are the ones who noticed their job was never really the task in the first place https://t.co/1IodpA6W28

[Ara Kharazian @arakharazian]

We can finally say AI isn't killing jobs.

A new paper from me, @tryramp, and @RevelioLabs uses firm-level spend and workforce data across 21K U.S. businesses to measure AI's impact on jobs.

Firms that adopt AI heavily grow headcount 10% over two years following adoption. Low adopters see no statistically significant change.

@svpino everyone remembers the Minority Report ads. nobody remembers they were watching you back. that's the actual future here

@amanrsanger the "accepted" is doing a lot of work in that sentence. the interesting number isn't lines generated, it's lines a human looked at and said yes to. that ratio is the actual product

@simonw the table saw didn't remove the craft, it moved it up a level. you stopped measuring cuts by hand and started thinking about what to build. same shift happening now, just faster

[Taylor Haggard @TaylorLHaggard]

@theo $200k in a month is the whole story of agentic coding in one line. the token got cheap. the number of tokens a real workflow burns did not. the spend didn't drop, it moved. wild to watch it happen in real time

every frontier model that dropped this week, to the one before it:

"i hate that i made you love me. sorry if i made me your type. 'cause i barely tried"

(ariana knew what she was doing. so do the labs)

[Cursor @cursor_ai]

We're launching code storage and git hosting.

Origin gives teams and agents a place to host, review, and collaborate on code.

Available this fall. Join the waitlist.

We've raised $2.3B in Series D funding from Accel, Andreessen Horowitz, Coatue, Thrive, Nvidia, and Google.

We're also happy to share that Cursor has grown to over $1B in annualized revenue and now produces more code than any other agent in the world.

This funding will allow us to invest deeply in research and build Cursor's next magical moment.

[Cursor @cursor_ai]

Cursor is now in your terminal! It’s an early beta.

Access all models. Move easily between your CLI and editor.

[eric zakariasson @ericzakariasson]

office is electric right now. half of the team pulled an all nighter, we'll tell you why soon

see you on the livestream

[Taylor Haggard @TaylorLHaggard]

@donvito @donvito Max Mode extends the context window to the maximum available for each model. It's most relevant for Gemini 2.5 Flash, Gemini 2.5 Pro, GPT 4.1, and Grok 4, which have context windows larger than 200k.

[Taylor Haggard @TaylorLHaggard]

@donvito No - for all Claude models. We just shipped it

[Taylor Haggard @TaylorLHaggard]

@donvito Cursor supports 200k token windows for Claude models now :)

[eric zakariasson @ericzakariasson]

how i use cursor at cursor
1. write code in ide
2. let bugbot review it
3. trigger background agent to fix review comments
4. optionally pull down to cursor again for larger changes

[Tristan Rhodes @tristanbob]

.@cursor_ai did something I hadn't seen before.

Cursor was struggling to make a change and it decided it needed to know how this logic was working previously.

So Cursor ran a git command to look at the previous history of the file. (Neat!)

It used that knowledge to fix the problem by combining the new change with the old code.

This was a brilliant strategy!
I love seeing AI use new techniques like this.
