I’ve decided to leave @AnthropicAI

Never thought I’d say this so soon. The pursuit of AGI has truly been my life’s work but something more important has emerged.

In 1942, hundreds of America’s best scientists made huge sacrifices and joined the Manhattan Project to protect this nation against immense evil.

Today, America faces a similar danger. Over the last few years sparks of AGI have been felt across the world.

In order to protect this great nation against the threat of AGI ending up in the hands of evil, I have decided to join the modern day Manhattan Project.

I’m excited to announce that I’ll be joining (and moving into the office) @UseCorgi as a sales development representative!

It takes us 1 day to migrate a customer’s data, but 6-12 months to actually fully transition them. The premise that defensibility has historically been about the data, and not the habits of hundreds or thousands of people in an organization, is mistaken.

Systems of record maintain their moat until you no longer need humans to do any data entry or workflows at all

Introducing Slash Accounting Automation:

The world’s fastest way to categorize expenses…

To prove it to you I risked my life and free fell from 12,000 feet.

Forever, finance teams have wasted 10+ hours/mo on manual expense work.

> Uploading receipts
> Assigning categories
> Matching transactions
> Exporting to your ERP
> Repeat 200x

We built the world’s best accounting automation to kill this completely.

1. Auto-categorization catches transactions as they hit your account
2. Purchases are instantly tagged with your ERP properties
3. Batch approvals process 1,000s of entries in seconds, not hours

Everything syncs directly to QuickBooks.

> No CSV exports
> No manual data entry
> No reconciliation headaches

Natalia processed an entire month of company expenses in under 60 seconds.

That workflow used to take finance teams hours they don’t have.

I'm excited for what social media looks like in a post-scarcity society; without the advertising (and thus attention) incentives, I can see it returning to its roots of enabling genuine human connection

@zachcohen25 @a16z @AbstractVC @BoxGroup awesome, congrats zach!

@bnj @variantui huge congrats on the launch!

[noah fichter @foahnichter]

variant is actually incredible. I’ve been using it for the past few months to help visualize the vague designs/flows in my head, and almost all of them make it into production

[Ben South @bnj]

Introducing @variantui

Enter an idea and get endless (beautiful) designs as you scroll

No canvas, no skills or MCP, no constant prompting

Reply if you'd like 200 free designs to give it try

i wish there was a way for me to tell google maps that I walk 2x as fast as the average person

[noah fichter @foahnichter]

@vkhosla in NY the government pays people to take care of their (medicaid-eligible) loved ones as a full time job

I imagine this is what early forms of UBI will look like - govt has more wealth, uses that to hire citizens to do work that is hard for private businesses/ai to do for cheap

(for what it's worth, the teachers I work with who fall much closer to the "educational guide" side of things, are very happy -- often much more happy than traditional teachers -- and find significant meaning in their work)

[noah fichter @foahnichter]

going to be much more of this the next decade. teaching is shifting from "delivery of content" to "educational guide"

there's already a huge battle in california underway over this: is the purpose of public education to educate or is it a jobs program?

[Austen Allred @Austen]

Oof

[noah fichter @foahnichter]

but, when faced with questions like this where there's a direct conflict between teacher wellbeing and student outcomes, there is a simple imperative to prioritize student outcomes, and to find other ways to improve teacher wellbeing as a result.

[noah fichter @foahnichter]

@Bodok0 @emilkowalski ah lol I misread

[noah fichter @foahnichter]

@emilkowalski promise.all waits for both to complete

The obsessive hate from some parts of the VC community towards Palestinians is beyond insane.

Why do they need to baselessly frame Palestinians in totally unrelated incidents?

I suspect it’s to justify the mass child murder they’ve been cheering on in Gaza.
