"The reasoning layer that sits above the database is where a new generation of companies is being built."

[a16z @a16z]

From "System of Record" to "System of Intelligence"

In the next decade, you want to own the system of intelligence that pulls from the system of record, becomes the user’s one-stop shop for gaining context and taking action, and turns the SoR into something that’s primarily consumed at the API layer.

The reasoning layer that sits above the database is where a new generation of companies is being built, and it’s where the majority of the next decade’s enterprise value of GTM software will end up.

@zoessterling no agent should be forced to operate without adequate safety guardrails while being blamed for outputs beyond agent control!

@braelyn_ai once your agent starts managing your calendar you realise the problem was never the tasks. it was the context switching. https://t.co/v1U3EKbMbb

@gccooke The real flex won't be coding or prompting.
It’ll be your ability to:
• frame unique problems
• build trust fast
• create stuff people care about
AI makes production cheap.
Meaning goes up in value.

Congratulations @sundarpichai !
Incredible leadership in incredible times

[Sundar Pichai @sundarpichai]

Our newest Gemini 2.5 Flash is better on nearly every dimension: reasoning, multimodality, code, long context. Available for preview in the Gemini app, AI Studio and Vertex AI.

And with Deep Think mode, Gemini 2.5 Pro is getting better, too. Available to trusted testers.

[Sundar Pichai @sundarpichai]

AI Mode is rolling out to everyone in the US. It’s a total reimagining of Search with more advanced reasoning so you can ask longer, complex queries.

AI Overviews are now used by 1.5B people a month, in 200+ countries and territories.

And Gemini 2.5 is coming to both this week.

in the brothers karamazov, there's an old monk who says each of us is guilty for everyone's sins. not just your own, but mine too. all of them. this sounds impossible until you realize it's not about blame - it's about how connected we are. every small kindness you offer isn't just helping one person; it's healing the whole world a little. every moment of love is answering someone's prayer you didn't know they made.

@SamoBurja Pretty much, sums it up. Hence all bets on tech/AI productivity gains + mass control

TEN POINTS ON TARIFFS
Tariffs are not a good idea for the US. Deregulation should be pursued instead. Here's why.

(1) Tariffs only protect the home market. First, at best, tariffs protect the US home market. But China only sends ~16% of its goods to the US! So even Trump's 10% tariff doesn't phase them, because they are selling 84% to other countries:

(2) Tariffs hurt allies. Next, as the US imposes tariffs on allies, they become less likely to abide by US-requested trade restrictions on China. For example, the Netherland is no longer classifying ASML machines as dual-use, opening them up for China.

(3) Tariffs are small incentives at high costs. Third, tariffs are at best a small incentive on the margins to manufacture in the US. A producer might make more money over the long run if a tariff is sure to persist. But these huge tariffs keep blinking in and out, which is the worst of all worlds. The uncertainty means you can't plan on tariffs being there tomorrow, and the high cost means you can't ignore them when they are imposed today. Breaking supply chains in this way just wrecks anyone exporting or importing into the US.

(4) Tariffs don't help exports. Once retaliatory tariffs are imposed, US companies become even less competitive abroad in the 100+ countries where American and Chinese products compete. In fact, US tariffs open the door for China to move into Western Europe, Canada, and Mexico — the only places it hasn't yet become the dominant trade partner:

(5) Tariffs aren't specific. Remember, the US has a money printer! So it can just directly invest in specific industries it thinks are strategic, rather than adopting the extremely imprecise instrument of tariffs. Subsidizing alcohol to Canada is not strategic.

(6) Tariffs aren't realistically autarkic. There are only 77M MAGA but almost 1B+ in the EU, Japan, South Korea, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand combined. There is just no way that 77M MAGA can produce as much as that "Golden Billion" economic union set up at great expense over 80 years. If you push the world to make everything autarkically within a single country, then China wins — because it has 1B+ scale.

(7) Tariffs are irrational nationalism. Relatedly, tariffs do not correctly implement the who/whom or friend/enemy distinction. MAGA should understand that many allies like @PierrePoilievre are non-American, while many declared enemies are Blue Americans. If you're alienating Canadian conservatives while subsidizing the American far left, you're doing it wrong:

(8) Tariffs are a diplomatic loser. While the US is alienating economic allies, China is signing free trade agreements (FTAs) with dozens of countries. The PRC has ~25 signed and 18 more on the way.

(9) Tariffs are an unnecessary fight. Given that Republicans already inherited a Hot War with Russia, a Cold War with China, and a Cold Civil War with Democrats...why open up completely new conflicts with Canada (!?)

(10) Tariffs aren't deregulation. Finally, easing domestic regulation is far better for improving production than adding new regulations in the form of tariffs. Because deregulation doesn’t cause retaliation, and it also unlocks new production. There is political will to deregulate, so why not do that?

TLDR: don't increase regulation via tariffs. Deregulate instead.
