Building AI agents

[tae kim @firstadopter]

Imagine if one billion people used a personal AI agent. That's a lot of CPUs and memory

@alhwynn Takes me back in time!

Or you can take even further - drag and drop file to fill in the from fields. Chrome extension or some kind of overlay on any window allows you to drop any file, and it'll try to parse it into the fields on the page

it feels like every computer interaction will get rewritten

In the future there will be people on UBI creating families and raising kids, and people doing business. You can switch between these two types, of course, through your lifetime. There is near zero chance to create leading company without sacrificing family right now, imo.

this seems like a security nightmare

@signulll And to top it off, you install the vending machines that discharge this water once you install the whatever product is advertised. And keep getting the free water while you stay a paid subscriber or engaged user.

for how much people complain and obsess over everything going wrong, imagine telling someone just 20 years ago that we’d have:

- cars without pedals or steering wheels driving themselves
- reusable rockets
- AGI that can reason, control a computer and do work for you
- miracle fat drugs and personalized cancer vaccines

anyone from almost any prior point in history would think we live in an age of miracles

and somehow we got used to it

@literallydenis This is really wild!

@TrungTPhan It is amazing, going to see it next Wednesday, cannot wait

I love @GoDaddy as a service, but their UI/UX is most horrific on the internet. I am there playing dodge ball with their upsells, pop ups, and ads left and right. What is supposed to be the primary CTA on this "My Dashboard" page?

[Illya Bakurov @ibakurov]

@WilliamBakst the model is insane

[Illya Bakurov @ibakurov]

@gabriel1 This!

Tells you something about the speculation. Have been using Instinct for a few hours. It's snappy, but so barely more than what Codex or Grok Bot can do.

[Austen Allred @Austen]

Both valued at $2.5 Billion today:

Linear, having crossed $100 million ARR with 177% net revenue retention.

Instinct, the viral AI assistant that launched last week.

SITUATION DETECTED: Nvidia is using its $6 billion deal with Poolside to develop one of the world’s most powerful open-weight models, aiming to challenge both Chinese labs and the US frontier. More than 100 Poolside engineers will be joining the Nemotron project, per WSJ.

When calories became cheap, convenient, and abundant, bodies decayed.

Thinking is now cheap.

[Pablo Antonio @PabloAntonio]

These two graphs are terrifying.

[Hours @hours]

gambling my token allocation

[Illya Bakurov @ibakurov]

@DesignGuru01 I love this idea! Very cool

[Olivia Moore @omooretweets]

The median company is spending $12 / employee / month on AI

The top 1% are spending $7,500 / employee / month

Not sure we've ever seen an adoption gap quite like this
