We're hiring our first PM at Hello Patient and I think it's the most exciting role we've opened so far.

You'll work directly with me and alongside our Conversational Designers and Customer Engineers to ship AI agents into real healthcare environments.

This is the perfect role for an ex-founder turned PM or a highly technical PM who's owned complex products before.

My DMs are open and link to JD in next post

In a couple hours, we'll be rolling out About This Account globally, allowing you to see the country or region where an account is based. This will be accessible by tapping the signup date on profiles.

This is an important first step to securing the integrity of the global town square. We plan to provide many more ways for users to verify the authenticity of the content they see on X.

And for those in countries where speech has penalties, we've included privacy toggles to only show your region.

This was a huge undertaking. A special thanks to the engineers who made this happen: @sandeep_rao @singhai @mingsong @striedinger @rzhao0506

Security Holes Found in OpenAI's ChatGPT Atlas Browser (and Perplexity's Comet) https://t.co/FnVmzasCBy

[Brave @brave]

The security vulnerability we found in Perplexity’s Comet browser this summer is not an isolated issue.

Indirect prompt injections are a systemic problem facing Comet and other AI-powered browsers.

Today we’re publishing details on more security vulnerabilities we uncovered.

So, reminder: the quality of code output by these systems is *very low* and the AIs themselves don't understand the output.

This is obvious to anyone who knows how to program.

There are still use cases, for example, to output a large volume of low-quality code that is not intended to be used for serious purposes and is not expected to have a long lifetime.

Anyone extoling the virtues of AI code generation, who actually knows how to program, will do so with the context of the above paragraph in mind.

Anyone running around saying "the AI just generates all this code and it's great!!" either:

(a) Does not understand code and should not be trusted with making decisions about code;

(b) If representing themselves as people who understand code, are obvious frauds, or else have so much Dunning-Kruger they don't know how bad they are.

This may improve in the future. I would love it if I could have an AI help me write complex programs more quickly. But it's just not the state of things today, and anyone claiming it is, is either lying or being fooled.

If you use Chrome and have upgraded to macOS Tahoe, disable "experimental prediction for scroll events" at chrome://flags to make it not feel like you just downgraded to a RAM-starved Windows 98 PC.

[Daniel Jeffries @Dan_Jeffries1]

Remember when I wrote this weekend that people don't understand the unit economics of AI yet and that agents doing constant work and or running 24x7 will not cost the price of a Netflix subscription?

That's because they can't. Anthropic and OpenAI lose money on every $200 subscription, let alone $20.

It's loss leader pricing at a level we have never seen. About 3000%-4000% off the actual cost of running these models.

This poor fellow is experiencing it now. Everyone will soon.

The solution many folks present is "clear the context window" aka make the model stupider by giving it amnesia. One developer was optimizing his sleep schedule around Anthropic limits.

There is no solution currently.

This pricing is not sustainable at all with current technology.

The actual answer is that any agent that is not an open source model, running on you own hardware, will likely be out of reach for many folks in the not too distant future without breakthroughs in small model architectures or a complimentary breakthrough in large model architecture/distilling/etc, and that agents will primarily be digital workers for businesses and priced accordingly, aka at roughly human salaries.
