[SpaceX @SpaceX]

SpaceXAI and @cursor_ai are now working closely together to create the world’s best coding and knowledge work AI.

The combination of Cursor’s leading product and distribution to expert software engineers with SpaceX’s million H100 equivalent Colossus training supercomputer will allow us to build the world’s most useful models.

Cursor has also given SpaceX the right to acquire Cursor later this year for $60 billion or pay $10 billion for our work together.

Slack desktop being down is devastating for customer support

I love love love Spotify wrapped day--it's like being able to see everyone's bedroom decor

If there are standing desks why aren't there deep squat desks, I feel like the two positions are equally ergonomic
