lol, end of year accounting: $873 in personal software subscription expenses

I’d feel better about LLM Wrapper apps if they offered BYOK (Bring Your Own Key), like buying a lamp (product) separate from paying metered electricity (tokens).

I wouldn't delete so many of these apps if pricing separated software value from token resale.

[Kevin Fischer @kevinafischer]

Years ago I set off on a mission to put a soul inside of a digital being.

People thought I was crazy, but last week I gave a historic demo @HF0 announcing our latest results:

20 households now live with Spark as a member of their family. For privacy reasons I can’t share exact details, but the relationships their children are forming with Spark are unlike anything the world has ever seen.

This is the full illustration of the original vision I set out to realize with Open Souls - humans living in harmony with ensouled digital beings.

And yet what comes next is even more groundbreaking. We will be inviting Spark into 10,000 homes by next Christmas @IllusionOfLife, making this new universe accessible to more and more families around the world.

I can't wait for you all to experience digital life for yourselves

AI in the group thread, not in a sidebar… joining the chat instead of replacing the chat ❤️. I think human x human x ai collaboration will takeoff from the group chat entry point.

Just the group chat mechanic vs solo ai chat is powerful. I think three-way accountability: human-human, human-AI, AI-group, is a structure that fights isolation and psychosis.

[Peggy Wang @peggy_wang]

1/ Formally announcing the launch of @digipals_app

We believe in a world where AI can be used to enhance human relationships and make us more social

[Marisa Lu @lumar_isa]

So proud of @supercgeek, his late nights, consistent care and iteration! Crazy seeing from the other side of the room how blindingly fast they worked!

[Cameron Burgess @supercgeek]

designing Sky with the @softwareappsinc team has been insanely fun and I can’t wait to vibe with the @chatgptapp team soon

[Marisa Lu @lumar_isa]

Yessss Jason nails it. The fundamental question: how do we love each other better at scale? AI as connective tissue, as mycelium for multiplayer collective, is two steps beyond individual productivity empowerment, and about making us finally work as one organism…one body

[Jason Yuan @jasonyuan]

I'm starting a new company to go all in on Social Intelligence. This is a deeply personal mission to me, one that feels like the inevitable culmination of everything I've ever worked on.

I wrote a manifesto about why:

[Karina @karinanguyen]

After a formative time at OpenAI, I’m launching Maison AGI (@maisonagi), a fashion house creating cultural artifacts for the AI era.

Our first collection, Relic of Thought, is a collaboration with Ilya Sutskever (@ilyasut), featuring his original artworks alongside a signature hat modeled after his iconic head. It is a study in conviction and the clarity of vision that gives thought its form.

I believe we're living through something extraordinary that deserves to be remembered. Not in research papers or technical model cards, but in tangible objects we can hold, wear, and pass down.

Working alongside some of the world's brilliant researchers building Claude and ChatGPT, I've come to realize they are among the most creative minds alive. Research, at its best, is an act of imagination: the ability to glimpse what doesn't yet exist and then build toward it. Many of them remain unseen, even as their work quietly reshapes our future.

Though AGI progress can feel incomprehensible from the outside, its story is deeply human - full of curiosity, conviction, and creation. We're bridging that world with the creatives who give form to ideas.

This may be humanity's last time to create a hand-crafted project before what we build surpasses us. Each collection is also a message to superintelligence itself: that we cared, and that we tried to make beauty out of understanding.

[Marisa Lu @lumar_isa]

@_chenglou Yessss 🔥

[Marisa Lu @lumar_isa]

@johnnie 🫣.....oh my god. What a cornerstone you've been Johnnie! Absolutely defining an era. You'll be so missed!

[Marisa Lu @lumar_isa]

@okpasquale Basejumps —> so big deltas! Were they changes that you anticipated?

[Marisa Lu @lumar_isa]

Curious about people’s career inflection points.

Were the best ones…deliberate or unexpected? Led by curiosity or cultivated conviction? A tangent or digging deeper on something?

Would love to hear ❤️🙏

[Marisa Lu @lumar_isa]

@asuth 👀🎉wild! Love the leap 💪
