@MattWallaceTech Please burnt orange 🙏

@shupog_ Let’s gooooooo

[Bryce Joseph-Nelson @brycejn]

@jpidala @LeTechLead @OpenRouter @Alibaba_Qwen @openclaw Is it better for tool calling and intent? Those are the two things that Codex has been buggy for me with.

[Bryce Joseph-Nelson @brycejn]

@ooabisabi @grok @AlexFinn No chance it's only 5k-10k tokens each with context included. That's such a lowball estimate for a serious openclaw set up. Minimum 2x these prices up to 20x these prices just on per request basis alone on extreme use.

@MatthewBerman @SamJWasserman Is yours working reliably? I’ve been trying to use it, but it feels like GPT 5-4 breaks so easily.

[Bryce Joseph-Nelson @brycejn]

@steipete @theSamPadilla @fxnction What actually matches Claude’s long tree, reasoning? GPT-5.4 is very smart but breaks with longer tooling.

[Bryce Joseph-Nelson @brycejn]

@jessegenet @GoogleDeepMind @openclaw Very cool. Gemma seems reliable with tool calling? The first cost savings move I made was to shift light crons to run open source models (hosted in America) on servers like DeepInfra. That’s how I initially slashed my costs. Have you been running fully on Claude for everything??

infinite money glitch😭

[Bryce Joseph-Nelson @brycejn]

@saviomartin7 I tried this and it broke when I went to link my telegram 🥲

[Bryce Joseph-Nelson @brycejn]

@robotaxi I took 4 rides on Saturday in SF totally 1h 15min and it only cost $35.44. Actually insane how cheap it was. Only one critical disengagement 😅 Smoother than the one Waymo I took! Great work team.

"Storyteller at Heart" has been my bio for the last 7 years on X and LinkedIn since mid college. The interaction across all channels is true, but my pitch has been that video is the best medium to do so which is why I founded @envernocreative to help tech companies communicate.

[Natalie Sportelli @N_Sportelli]

The hot new job at tech companies is leading "storytelling."

The term doubled on LinkedIn job posts in the U.S since last year. The WSJ writes:

"Compliance technology firm Vanta this month began hiring for a head of storytelling, offering a salary of up to $274,000."

"Productivity app Notion recently merged its communications, social media and influencer functions into one 10-person, so-called storytelling team."

"Financial technology brand Chime last month began hiring for a director of corporate editorial and storytelling—its first storyteller opening."

As a former reporter and career-long content/brand leader, I have some thoughts!

These examples point to a shift in internal marketing orgs that reflect a shrinking earned media landscape and an endless, growing number of distribution channels to share and own your narrative, i.e. "going direct."

It's not entirely editorial, or events, or PR, or marketing. It's how all these pieces work together and how they contribute to the bigger picture - your story!

I joke with my reporter friends that they are infinitely hireable if they ever left journalism. Why? Because we are trained to ask: "So what? Why should readers care? What does it mean for them?" To me, that's a big nuance in this conversation. Because...

*Storytelling is a human act and it's a service.*

Super interested to watch what happens here. Are you long/short on this role?

[Bryce Joseph-Nelson @brycejn]

@MalcolmLore_ @Scobleizer The tipsy point*

[Bryce Joseph-Nelson @brycejn]

@max_spero_ Bruh I’ve had one pair for over 3 years and never even had a scare.

[Bryce Joseph-Nelson @brycejn]

@LinkedIn’s iPad app is up there for one of the worst apps I’ve used. What is this? I pay for LinkedIn Premium too. Is a decent iPad app too much to ask for? 😭

Today marks Day 8 of nonstop Tule Fog across California’s Central Valley, and it may be at its greatest extent yet.

A sea of fog stretches from Lake Shasta all the way down to the Grapevine, nearly 450 miles long and has now spilled into the Bay Area.

[Bryce Joseph-Nelson @brycejn]

@80_VGF @EftenZen @Dexerto You’d have to have both versions. The cheap one would basically be a direct console competitor for $500 vs full price open one at $750? I a lot of people new to PC gaming would take that because it’d feel just like a console. If they messaged it that way I see no issue.

[Bryce Joseph-Nelson @brycejn]

@80_VGF @EftenZen @Dexerto To what?

[Bryce Joseph-Nelson @brycejn]

@EftenZen @Dexerto Maybe Valve could offer a hyper locked down SteamOS only version of this box to prevent the compute arbitrage that people are worried about? That as a loss leader would make sense. 30% margins in the store would make up for this quickly.
