Built a live NYC building permit map on top of @_coenen’s awesome isometric pixel-art

color-coded by permit type — demolitions, new buildings, plumbing, mechanical, solar. Click any dot for full details.

~1,000 fresh permits every day

@_coenen very strange to watch ai writing just become the norm so quickly…it was inevitable but I always assumed there’d be a period where people would at least acknowledge that ai was used

@nateliason good advice for many things

Imagine if Einstein could think 10,000 times faster. Not smarter. Just faster.

Almost everything changes. He could test vastly more hypotheses. Revise them. Reject them. Read every paper ever written before lunch. The intelligence level doesn’t need to change if the number of learning cycles does. It’s a different dimension entirely.

the ability to learn faster than your competitors may be the only sustainable competitive advantage - arie de geus

[Fletch Phillips @FletchPh]

there’s a visible range for pace of change relative to our own. geologic time is imperceptibly slow…ai time will be imperceptibly fast

@Austen Is there a reason the feed couldn’t be agentic instead of algorithmic or maybe a hybrid?

Why shouldn’t you be able to make this request and instantly see your feed start to bend that direction without impacting anyone else’s?

[Fletch Phillips @FletchPh]

@gmoneyNFT for a normie user this instantly repositions claude as an agent instead of as an llm - a massive shift

[Fletch Phillips @FletchPh]

proof that you’re human is such an obviously inevitable aspect of interacting with technology in the future

@menrva33 congrats! Huge win

@nateliason great view of brooklyn bridge park. let me know if your students ever want a tour with the designers

@JohnSurico @subtle116 Nice! just pull the soil/mulch back 3-6” off the base of the tree - burying the base of the tree can rot the trunk and cause several health issues

[Fletch Phillips @FletchPh]

ai lowers the cost of crossing disciplinary boundaries in a pretty unique way. the bottleneck shifts from possessing knowledge to directing it. general intelligence generalizes

[Midjourney @midjourney]

Announcing a new division of Midjourney called "Midjourney Medical"

“quietly” is currently the most prominent tell of claude writing

@nabeelqu @larryfink_jr definitely was really surprised by that one…the overton window just suddenly shifted

[Fletch Phillips @FletchPh]

@andrewmccalip or maybe there’s high click through because…they’re just waiting anyway…. the timing is perfectly aligned with the moment they need something else to do - ad harmony

[Fletch Phillips @FletchPh]

@AnthropicAI Ok who asked fable to look into the Epstein files?

[Fletch Phillips @FletchPh]

@Austen 💯

[Fletch Phillips @FletchPh]

@jasondoesstuff @marclou Very well done
