@TheStalwart @citrini A photo tells a thousand words.

So you would need to write a 1000 word prompt to describe that cute face baby made when he was 6 months old…

You aren’t starting a company. You’re laying bricks in the foundation of a skyscraper.

@lpolovets Claude has insane pricing power because their models work. Companies will easily pay 5-10x more since Claude is making devs 100x more efficient.

[Ashutosh Agarwal @aasus]

Claude 4.8 is going to massively increase Anthropic’s revenue.

I spent 15m tokens in 3 hours. The features were giant but 4.8’s workflows did a tremendous job. I am now out of today’s token budget and have to switch to usage billing!

[Ashutosh Agarwal @aasus]

@citrini They also had an enormous revenue growth this quarter!

[Ashutosh Agarwal @aasus]

@mdnghtmss Just do QQQ instead

@chamath What was the prompt?

[Ashutosh Agarwal @aasus]

@atShruti Well, dont pay entire cash down for your home …

[Marc Randolph @marcrandolph]

You’ll learn more in one day of doing than in a month of thinking about it.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

Major life hack: Don't complain, ever. Nobody likes a complainer. They drain the energy of everyone around them. It's exhausting spending time around someone who constantly complains about things outside their control. If it’s within your control, go do something about it. If it’s not, you’re just wasting energy thinking about it. Complaining gives too much power to the thing. Take back that power.

Greatness is mostly accumulated micro-decisions.

@KettlebellDan Google kiss products quite often. If this doesnt billions in sales then it is gone.

They don’t make them like him anymore.

RIP.

@SemiAnalysis_ Anthropic had the same doomsday narrative that Elon has been worried about for a long time!

@pronounced_kyle +100 to 1/10,000 the latency. Context window is a pain but manageable.

@robert23740 @MatterFactAI Ai investments are mostly done by hyperscalers. Other companies are making the ROI decision here.

[Ashutosh Agarwal @aasus]

Coinbase laid off 14% of their employee base - and this AI driven reduction in force is a trend that is probably coming soon. I know Jensen said we are not going to get job cuts, but the reality is different.

So we did a study using @MatterFactAI on which technology companies have margin expansion opportunity from RIFs.
