Cursor now shows you demos, not diffs.

Agents can use the software they build and send you videos of their work.

@boyuanlong @annieqxx His voice was rising to a horrible pitch of impassioned stridency. “And hooptiously drangle me with crinkly bindlewurdles,/ Or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon, see if I don’t!”

[alina @alinaxfang]

@boyuanlong @annieqxx It’s gibberish lol

“Oh freddled gruntbuggly …” he began…
“? … thy micturations are to me/As plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee.”
“Groop I implore thee,” continued the merciless Vogon, “my foonting turlingdromes.”

What other fictions do you think would be exciting/fun to see come to life?

I just spent 6 hours messing around and fully AI-generated a mini-drama from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and it blew my mind

- Script & Keyframe: @OpenAI

With proper tooling, anyone can now turn favorite book scenes into short dramas

WDYT?

Tobi Lutke explains what the VCs who passed on Shopify got wrong

Tobi recounts pitching Shopify to VCs on Sand Hill Road a few years after founding Shopify.

Investors passed because they thought the addressable market was too small. At the time, there were about 40,000-50,000 online stores, and even if Shopify captured 50% of the market, that still wouldn’t be a venture-scale business.

When Tobi ran into the VC partner a few years ago, the partner asked Tobi what he missed (Shopify is valued at almost $100 billion today).

Tobi explained:

“You were actually correct, but what you didn’t realize was that Shopify was the solution to the very problem you identified. The reason there was only 40,000 online stores was because it was hard, expensive, and everyone who tried ran into all these brick walls of complexity, which Shopify, one after another, smoothed over and made simple to do.”

Tobi believes this is a common mistake:

“What a lot of free-market thinkers don’t understand is that between the demand and eventual supply lies friction. And I actually think that friction is probably the most potent force for shaping the planet that people just generally do not acknowledge… That was my theory when I turned my snowboard store into Shopify: there was a lot more people like me except there was too much friction which we needed to solve. And Shopify has proven out that every time we make the process simpler, there’s more consumption. At this point, we have a million merchants on Shopify, which is a mind-blowing number. So friction is a major component, and it’s something that software is uniquely good at reducing.”

DeepSeek just proved the 'worthless' GPT wrapper startups are actually the ones with real moats.

A week ago, nothing was more LOW status than being a 'GPT wrapper' startup.

But I think we're learning that's DEAD wrong. Turns out they were just early to the only game that matters

While DeepSeek, Meta, Anthropic and Microsoft battle over benchmark scores, these 'wrapper' companies have been quietly building the only moat that matters: interface loyalty.

Because of how big owning the LLM is for national defense and the economy, the next breakthrough model is always 2 weeks away. DeepSeek launches today, someone else drops a better one tomorrow.

But getting millions of people to make your product part of their daily workflow - that's the real barrier to entry. ChatGPT didn't win because it had the best model. It won because it was dead simple to use. And I think it has staying power because of that.

This is why all those AI startups we dismissed are actually positioned to win. They're not competing on model performance - they're competing on being the default way humans interact with AI.

Frontier models are becoming commodities. User habits aren't. While everyone obsesses over the next architecture breakthrough, the real game is being played in the interface layer. The moat isn't in the model - it's in being the tool people reach for without thinking.

Technology advantage is temporary. Interface lock-in is forever.

Keep shipping those wrappers, my friends.

An intersting blog on @huggingface method to use DPO fine-tune LLMs.
Article: https://t.co/M0xXybvero

The blog shows a new method called Direct Preference Optimization that optimizes LLMs directly on human preferences. This removes the need for complex RL machinery.

It includes an end-to-end example using DPO to customize the 7B Llama-2 model with HuggingFace's TRL library. Training logs show the model optimizing for human-aligned metrics.

DPO enables aligning LLMs with human values around safety, reasoning, and more by simplifying the fine-tuning process. The post details the full workflow from SFT to evaluating DPO training runs.

By removing barriers to customizing LLMs, DPO unlocks exciting potentials in AI. Can't wait to see more options for tailoring models to suit our needs and preferences!

This is based on this recent paper on DPO: https://t.co/LnCLwtngI9

Kudos to the authors!

@elonmusk please take a look at Twitter’s App Store review - rebranding definitely isn’t helping this app

Feedback analysis doesn’t take that long if you use @Kraftful 🤔

[IntelliGen @intelli_gen]

As a PM in AI, I'm impressed by @Kraftful

It analyzed 100+ tweets in 1 min, pulling key user feedback like top requests &amp; complaints, ranked by frequency so I can easily understand priorities.

I can also chat with the AI to dig into insights, like having my own analysis buddy.
