It’s a privilege to be able to solve the hardest problems out there in the real world @PoeticHQ. And an even greater joy to be able to do it with people that care deeply about both craft, and substance.

Hello World!

[Markie Wagner @markiewagner]

Introducing @PoeticHQ: a new AI system that executes complex multi-hour tasks with 99%+ accuracy and 10x fewer tokens than agents.

We raised $50M at $500M from Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, First Harmonic, and Genius Ventures to build AI that does complex work inside Fortune 500 companies without hallucination.

While code is too brittle, agents are too unpredictable. The work that runs the global economy - anti-money laundering, fraud investigations, underwriting - needs extreme accuracy.

So we built a new kind of software that pairs the flexibility of AI with the predictability of code.

When the world stays the same, Poetic runs fixed code: fast, cheap, identical every time. When the world changes, Poetic uses AI to regenerate its approach and find its way back to the objective.

In one year, we went from zero to an eight-figure run rate as a team of four.

Since then, we’ve scaled the team and executed the highest-stakes processes at AIG, SoFi, and Chime. At SoFi, a large US bank, Poetic reached 99%+ quality on fraud investigations in five weeks.

The most important thing I've learned in life, and I can't stress this enough: you gotta make a salad in a bigger bowl than you think

@DataMB_ Reaffirms how well-rounded Anderson is. Tops most categories and has played significantly more minutes. And prem minutes are more grueling than Serie A minutes.

[Advait Shroff @advaituncombed]

@premdebrief It has to be:

1 of Tchouameni / Anderson / Tonali (locked in as the PL and UCL starter next to Mainoo),
M Fernandes + Baleba (rotation, depth, and cup game starters),
Hall or Maxi Araujo (latter may honestly be better),
LW (Ndiaye/Godts/El Mala/Diomande)
ST (Watkins/Welbeck)

Interesting paradigm shift to think about: attention vs tokens.

In recent times, monetizing attention has been the primary focus. That’s what all social media, and ads boil down to. In this economy, time was the primary currency. But in the new economy, tokens are the primary currency. And you are either a provider of tokens or a consumer of tokens. If you are a large provider of tokens (the labs, and apps like Cursor or Perplexity), the metric that will matter instead of attention share, or market share, is token share. Token Share: what % of all tokens consumed in the economy were tokens provided by you, relative to other token providers?

This is because you don’t need active attention to be consuming tokens anymore. You could have long-running, scheduled workflows etc consuming tokens in the background while your active attention is elsewhere for extended periods of time. And that fundamentally shifts the paradigm on which currency matters going forward.

As of tonight, there are two frontier AI labs whose models are approved for use in classified military systems.

One has been declared a Huawei-level threat to national security for insisting that its models not be used for mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons.

The other just signed a deal that allows its models to be used for everything except mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons.

I am truly not taking sides here, I'm just very confused.

[Kevin Roose @kevinroose]

The DOW got so mad at Anthropic for insisting on carve-outs for mass domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons that they declared it a supply chain risk and struck a deal with OpenAI that includes...the exact same carve-outs.

I use WisprFlow a lot - 100K+ words since I started using it ~2 months ago. I’m a huge fan, but it is definitely not as perfect as it is being made out to be here.

Still gets simple stuff like “will” vs “we’ll” wrong with no learning or adaptation. I often ask it to write something in brackets expecting “(xyz)” but it will literally write “brackets xyz” and it irks me to death - filed bugs for both!

This is some of the craziest shit ever, if true. I guess it’s hard to be surprised when all corporations are forced to be profit maximizing entities out of fiduciary responsibility but Jesus Christ still. Have to imagine that there are several real benefits to having actual driver benefit programs and just treating them with even the most basic decency would lead to higher retention than all of the elaborate schemes. Hoping for a WSJ exposé in a few months here
