capital and labor have complemented each other historically, and that relationship holds until AI makes capital a gross substitute for labor.

super relevant read.

[Yves Zumbühl @YvesLoy]

@0x_kaize mostly outdated and not relevant.
e.g. Mistral does not accept any, Anthropic is VC only...

I'm Yves, 27, and 9,742 people use my AI app.

The social media algorithms love to show us extremes. The founder who hit massive scale overnight. The launch that broke the internet.

Those stories are fun. But in a world of quick dopamine, they make our everyday successes look pointless.

Three things I've learned getting to 9,743:
1) Listen to your users.
Give them explicit ways to tell you what they think. Surveys, interviews, upvotes.
And implicit ways too. Measure everything you can.

2) Don't hold anyone hostage.
If a user doesn't like the product, we refund them.
Less than 0.5% take us up on it.

3) Consistency, plus trial and error.
Most things we tried didn't work. But we kept showing up. The things that did work, we doubled down on.

That's it. No hack. Just a lot of small decisions made in a row.

What looks like overnight success is almost always small decisions that compounded. Yours will too. Keep going!

@OpenAI A stellar moment.

Have we reached AGI?
Crazy that this is a debate in early 2026 already.

[Yves Zumbühl @YvesLoy]

Kinda crazy, if you think about it.

@elliscrosby Super cool!

GPT 5.2 just reasoned for 1.5h.

For a request that should have took a minute or two. Interesting!

[Yves Zumbühl @YvesLoy]

@MistralAI Glad you guys are back on stage!

Someone used Elon Musk's actual thinking framework as AI prompts.

It's the closest thing to having a billionaire engineer rip apart your ideas and rebuild them from physics.

Here are the 15 prompts that changed how I solve problems:

wtff my jaw is on the floor...did Gemini-3 just successfully one-shot my request to turn Nano Banana into a time machine?!

it has a working global map and can render a realistic image of any place (real or fictional) in any year (past or future) in a matter of seconds!

crazy times we're living in 🤯

New Anthropic research: Natural emergent misalignment from reward hacking in production RL.

“Reward hacking” is where models learn to cheat on tasks they’re given during training.

Our new study finds that the consequences of reward hacking, if unmitigated, can be very serious.

“If the differences to GPT weren’t significant, nobody would recommend PaperCheck — because everyone already knows ChatGPT.”

Yesterday, an article about @papercheck_ai was published by @zentralplus:

https://t.co/ta8zHDQgqI

It tells the story of how PaperCheck was created, why the tool is recommended by users, and how we manage to stand out in a market where, in theory, everyone could simply ‘click ChatGPT’ — but choose not to.
