🚨 FORMER FERRARI CHAIRMAN WHEN ASKED ABOUT NEW ELECTRIC FERRARI:
“I cannot say what I really think... I would harm Ferrari.
I hope they at least remove the prancing horse."
Very excited to add @HSBC payments to @CantonNetwork. Soon we will show what’s possible when you have the right partners at the table.

Launching now: a new way to follow the AI industry.
Beta starts now for the next month.
A joint project between Unaligned (my company) and Levangie Labs (@blevlabs company).
It reads 50,000 of you, and follows 8,300 AI companies here on X. And pulls out the best and most interesting.
All built with the X API.
Check it out: https://t.co/8L5xphk0qQ
And please sign up for its daily newsletter. Yeah, $25 a month is a lot for many of you, but that will defray the costs and let me expand it to do a lot more than just AI. Also, the same AI agent that built the site, and did EVERYTHING you see can build custom reports for you on literally any tech community here on X.
It supports OpenClaw, RSS, and Notebook LM too. And I'll add more from your requests.

The data on neurodivergent workers is so lopsided it looks like a typo.
JPMorgan Chase ran an Autism at Work program and found participants were 90% to 140% more productive than neurotypical employees. With fewer errors. UiPath partnered with AutonomyWorks on AI data labeling and reported neurodivergent associates were 150% more productive than non-neurodiverse talent. Hewlett-Packard integrated neurodivergent professionals into software testing teams and measured a 30% productivity gain. EY reported neurodiverse teams were 1.2 to 1.4x more productive and more accurate than comparable groups. At SAP, a single neurodivergent employee’s solution saved the company $40 million.
Now zoom out. 15 to 20% of the global population is neurodivergent. One in five adults. Yet only 22% of autistic adults in the UK are employed. And 73% of neurodivergent people don’t disclose during hiring because they’re afraid of being discriminated against.
That means the most productive talent pool in the workforce is also the most underemployed and the most hidden.
Karp sees this and is building a pipeline to capture it. Palantir’s Neurodivergent Fellowship pays $110,000 to $200,000 a year. The job posting says outright that neurodivergent individuals will “disproportionately shape the future of America and the West.” A Gartner study projects that one in five Fortune 500 sales organizations will actively recruit neurodivergent talent by 2027. Palantir is two years ahead of that curve.
The roster of neurodivergent founders reads like a hall of fame. Branson built Virgin with ADHD and dyslexia. Kamprad founded IKEA and invented the naming system because he couldn’t remember product codes. Musk disclosed Asperger’s on live television. Steve Jobs was dyslexic and dropped out. 40% of self-made millionaires in the UK are dyslexic. People with ADHD are estimated to be up to 500% more likely to become entrepreneurs.
Karp himself is dyslexic. He built a $370 billion company. And he’s saying the system that filtered him out, the standardized tests, the credential pipelines, the interview formats designed for neurotypical candidates, is about to become even more obsolete as AI eats every routine cognitive task those systems were built to evaluate.
The bet is simple: AI commoditizes average. The people who see patterns no one else sees, who obsess for 14 hours on a problem everyone else quit after 2, who build IKEA’s naming system because the “normal” approach didn’t work for their brain, those are the ones who can’t be replaced by a model.
Karp is recruiting them while everyone else is still writing job descriptions that screen them out.
🚨 do you understand what Karpathy just said..
the guy who co-founded OpenAI.. led AI at Tesla.. one of the best engineers alive..
built an app with AI.. and said the code was the easy part..
the hard part was Stripe.. auth.. DNS.. databases.. deploying it.. connecting 15 different services that all have different dashboards and different docs and different billing pages..
AI can write your entire app in 20 minutes.. but it still can't click "confirm email" on Vercel..
so the thing that's "replacing developers" can't do the thing developers actually spend 80% of their time doing..
vibe coding didn't kill software engineering.. it just proved that coding was never the job.. the job was dealing with the mess around the code.. and that mess is still 100% human.
BREAKING: New York bill would ban AI from answering questions related to medicine, law, dentistry, nursing, psychology, social work, engineering, & more.
