I thought I was doing well, but I'm only at level 2.8

I talk to engineers at other companies every day and hear the same thing: one person is 10x'ing their output with Claude but the rest of the org hasn't caught up.

Watching teams adopt AI, I keep seeing the same 4 steps.

I mapped them out here: Steps of AI Adoption https://t.co/kQnRAUMKpP

@PaulSalvage That's awesome. Congrats!

@steveruizok I like that analogy. I think it's exhausting because it's thinking at a higher level of abstraction and planning, but I'm finding it easier over time as I get into the new flow of thinking and execution.

@chrislutzxy Yes, and it's overrun by sites that imho feel quite untrustworthy.

@jxnlco I was thinking exactly this today and started planning to build it.

@plainionist Offloading all plans and memory to linear

@tomfgoodwin Working on it...

@OfficialLoganK That's not how they work

Brilliant glimpse into the future of your fully personalized software stack.

Now just 1.5 hours into this mini project

I have replaced ALL my Chrome extensions with my own vibe coded ones for safety

After another one of my extensions after updating suddenly wanted to read my entire browser history (probably to sell off to an ad company)

My own Chrome extension is called 🚀 SuperLevels and now has:

🗑️ Tab Cleaner, auto closes tabs after inactivity (with host-based exclusions)
🍪 Cookie Editor, lets you nuke all cookies or edit any
🔀 Redirect Tracer, lets you see any redirects a site took you through
🌗 Dark Mode, changes websites to dark, per site or all sites
🎚️ X Dim, changes X background back to dark blue
🎶 Music Finder, records music in a tab and submits to find the name of the song
🗺️ Add back a Maps link to Google in EU (they hide it!)
🌠 Add back a View Image link to Google Images in EU (they hide it too!)

I've deleted all my other extensions (except uBlock Origin for ad blocking!), much much safer because now I control the source code!

Remember the paper saying ChatGPT Health undertriaged 52% of medical queries? Turns out the study methodology was massively flawed.

In real world conversations, GPT-5.4 correctly recommends immediate care in emergency cases more than 99% of the time.

Healthcare AI isn't perfect and there are open questions about how to evaluate LLM-based tools. But always worth remembering that there are groups that have an incentive to produce a sensational, AI-skeptical headline by cloaking suspect science in academic authority.

It's odd that people haven't realized that prompting techniques are actually meta-thinking techniques.

Feynman method of Problem solving: 1. Write down the problem. 2. Think very hard. 3. Write down the solution.

[Jason ✨👾SaaStr.Ai✨ Lemkin @jasonlk]

A truly great human is still better than any AI agent at most complex, judgment-intensive work. Full stop. If you can find and keep exceptional people, do it.

But here’s the honest truth: most hires aren’t great hires.

A lot of folks don't want to discuss it, or want to challenge it. But deploying a great AI Agent is just easier, and less stressful, than making a mediocre hire.

@tlbtlbtlb And how hot you run the GPU in your head

@lilyraynyc If good content doesn't rise to the top of search / AI, it's the search / AI that's broken, not the content.

[Bryan Nelson 🇳🇱🇿🇦 🏊🚴🏃 @btnelson]

@mattshumer_ It was a good piece. The right thoughts at the right time.

[Bryan Nelson 🇳🇱🇿🇦 🏊🚴🏃 @btnelson]

I resonate deeply with this sentiment
