[Mark Gurman @markgurman]

NEW: Apple is cutting employee AI spending budgets even as it pushes workers to use the technology more. Engineers have seen daily limits cut from $300 to $200, with further reductions to $100 planned. Other teams could see limits fall to $25. https://t.co/4tnOIaxpDz

@levelsio @spacexai plus X algo used to be smart enough to ban such accounts, idk whats with it now

[talha @ceoonlocalhost]

@levelsio @spacexai i would never give any agent full acess to any of my account. i cant believe people are willingly doing it for the sake of few likes and all.

this is the most successful launch video in Silicon Valley history

18 years ago, the founder of Dropbox recorded his screen to make this demo

it took their waitlist from 5,000 to 75,000 overnight

imo, here's what made it work:

1. it showed the real product doing the one thing it promised. you drop a file into a folder and it shows up on your other computer

2. it was full of inside jokes for the exact audience he was trying to reach

3. he posted it where his users already were. an earlier version went on Hacker News, and this one went on Digg

4. it explained a new idea without any jargon

5. it let people see something they couldn't use yet. Dropbox wasn't open to the public, so the video showed it working and the waitlist did the rest

while everyone is doing super fancy video with Claude, you can do a very simple screen recording

you will look x10 more authentic
