“The digital world lacks physical information. The physical world lacks dense digital information. Games perfectly merge these two together, and we believe that’s just the next phase of pretraining.”

Every few weeks @gen_intuition ships new emergent capabilities that are orthogonal to anything you see in the LLM world.

It's not writing -- it's AI slop.

the power of claude compels you

[femiiiiii. @femiiiszn]

not all of us were made to cook. some of us were made to have conversations with the person cooking.

[Ranger @RangerNetHQ]

We don't manually test features anymore.

You can now run continuous QA features in Claude using “Feature Review” by Ranger.

Feature Review is an always-on AI QA that runs in the background, fixing features while providing you and your team with full visibility.

Never ask Claude to fix errors again.

We just built a browser agent that outperforms OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, and Manus on real-world tasks that knowledge workers actually do

And it ranks #1 on every single major web benchmark

This piece nails something subtle but critical: the future of robotics isn’t unlocked by shiny demos or breakthroughs, but by relentless iteration in messy reality.

An absolute must-read for anyone thinking seriously about where robotics actually compounds. Well done @packyM and @evanbeard at @standardbots 🤖🦾

[Y Combinator @ycombinator]

🎨@Tempo_Labs just launched v2 of their visual editor for React, powered by AI.

Tempo feels like a design tool but works like an IDE. It enables designers & devs to collaborate on code and helps teams ship production-grade software 10X faster.

Very excited about what the Mooncake team is up to. This infrastructure will enable a new class of applications that is far more intelligent than anything we have seen so far. Well done

[Nikita | Scaling Postgres @nikitabase]

New way of doing analytics in Postgres:

https://t.co/cKe3AmRJMY

You now can simply create a columnstore table inside Postgres, load data and query it using Postgres syntax.

And it's FAST. Duckdb level fast. Actually it uses duckdb underneath.

Give it a go on @neondatabase

Working late 4th of July week. We're back.

[Jaya Gupta @JayaGup10]

This isn’t true. Last week, a seed stage company had 10+ lead term sheets. This week, talking to companies with 5+ lead term sheets each.

For the right deal, they will Zoom in from Italy and have the people on the ground chase you.

@Ali_Shobeiri @OpenAI congratulations Ali!! so cool!

AI will pose both a cybersecurity threat and an opportunity for cyber automation. Excited for this nuanced take by the Menlo security team!

[Menlo Ventures @MenloVentures]

Every enterprise shares a common concern: SECURITY.

This week, Menlo’s cybersecurity investors share a two-part series on the topic. The first post–published today–will explore how businesses must think about security in the new era of AI. The second post, slated for Thursday, will explore how AI will inform cybersecurity solutions.

@alvaromorales Absolutely precious. Love the video and message!

[Menlo Ventures @MenloVentures]

The future of the modern AI stack is being decided now. There are a few things we know for sure:

1. Enterprises spend more on inference than training.
2. We live in a multi-model world.
3. RAG is the dominant architectural approach.
4. All developers are now AI developers.

But, if 2023 was the year of AI experimentation, 2024 will be ll invests and the trends shaping the future of the AI stack read @MenloVentures’ Modern AI Stack Report https://t.co/CTKll4THVF
