Wrote a post about fundraising for the incredible @lennysan. https://t.co/LVhBlNMX8O

[Marc McCabe @mccabe]

Investing in 2016: man I wish I had bought some Facebook or Amazon stock earlier but I’ll just buy some now and make money.

Investing in 2026: buy a handful of Swatch AP Royal pops, sell them on eBay, dump the proceeds on a Kalshi parlay the Iran/ukraine wars continue into 2027

@growing_daniel @Accel They're all at it... Remembering this one fondly which features multiple AI companies who don't even sell to startups... They don't even care that we know it's BS. https://t.co/DEKsE3L2x5

[Consensus @ConsensusNLP]

Today, we're announcing $30M in new funding to build the AI OS for Research.

2.5M researchers start their work with Consensus every month. Their work is the foundation that all progress is built upon.

We could tell you our story. We'd rather they did👇

[Alex Bouaziz @Bouazizalex]

For years, we hit the same wall everyone else did.

You automate a few steps. Then complexity wins. And your best people are back to doing work that should run itself. That's what we set out to fix - not for our customers first, but for ourselves.

I'm proud to introduce Akai by Deel.
Akai is an interconnected system of agents that learns your workflows, automates every step, and gets smarter with every run - auditably, on any system.

Today, 100% of Deel's operations teams, across Finance, Tax, Treasury, Benefits, and HR, run on Akai. The results stopped us in our tracks:
→ 100,000+ cases handled automatically every month
→ 8,000+ hours of payment processing - now background tasks
→ Reconciliation that took 20+ days - now done in minutes
→ 100% automation in areas we couldn't reach after years of coding
→ 91,000+ manual hours saved every single month

Now, every team is now building agents themselves. No developers. No IT tickets. Just the people who know the work, running it. That's the ceiling we broke.

Now we're opening it up. With built-in voice, transactions across any payment method, and the ability to process and analyse any document or dataset - out of the box.

Your first agents could be running by tomorrow! Get early access at https://t.co/mMBMmX4fMT

The last thing a startup should want to spend time on is HR! Now there is an agent for that too! Congrats to the @getdiana team on their launch!

[Upeka Bee @upekabee]

Every OpenClaw today is an intern with root access & no oversight ☠️🏴‍☠️

So we built the first one with a boss 🦞

@getdiana is a business-ready OpenClaw with a Governor that shuts it down mid-task before damage is done 🧵

After 4 years, we’re announcing Instant 1.0.

Instant is the best backend for AI-coded apps.

Let us tell you why.

@901Lulu “Ofc we suspect the husband”

You don’t know her, her family or anything about her. You make money doing this? Gross

@realBobbyHealy Surely you have all the actuators and spinning widgets you need over there but feel free to send a drone to Dun Laoghaire and I will send back fully loaded

[Machine Pun Kelly 🇺🇦 @KellyScaletta]

Right now the Dow has dropped over 1,000 points. If that holds, it will be the 14th time in history it happened.

Donald Trump was President 12 of those times.

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

US immigration officials picked up a blind Rohingya refugee last week in Buffalo, NY. Then, realizing they had no basis to deport him, they released him five miles from his home. He needed a walking stick and died trying to make his way back to his house: https://t.co/dNBRWAiv0b

@FinnMurphy12 So long as the guy who writes your historical analogies never loses his job maybe we’ll be ok

@Willob It also ignores that Irish homeless people benefit from vastly more services beyond poor temporary housing than direct provision. I wish we were doing better but imo this isnt a signal of a nation in decline.

[Marc McCabe @mccabe]

@Willob Europe’s broader refugee crisis? That’s largely the bill for American wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria, compounded by Trump cosying up to Putin while 8 million Ukrainians fled west. I’m all for more housing but “decline” rhetoric only fuels the racists as you can see here.

[signüll @signulll]

i have a lot to say about these ads but holy fucking shit… this might be the most tasteful & brutal takedown of a category leader i’ve ever seen. & during the fucking super bowl? insane.

usually these things almost always fall flat (see: slack “welcoming” microsoft teams with a fucking newspaper ad & how cringe that was), but this one lands dead center.

even normies will clock the subtlety. the capturing of chatgpt’s drift in personality, tone, & vibes is absolutely unreal. almost surgical. normal ppl i know make fun of how chatgpt talks.

imo openai made themselves vulnerable here by simply trying to do so much (enterprise, codex, consumer, etc) & lacking a singular cohesive narrative other than they have 800m users. like even google is taking shots about openai being forced to run ads.

anyway i’ll post more but this was an absolute master class (i have posted about how openai competitors should handle their ads play, & this is a great start). also i would not count anthropic out of the consumer race yet (they have a lot of room to grow & even potentially acquire small startups).

Jeffery Epstein the guy who ran a child sex slave empire said Trump is the worst person I've ever met

“I HAVE MET SOME VERY BAD PEOPLE, NONE AS BAD AS TRUMP.”

@NateSilver538 Funny till you sit at your computer for a morning of emails only to find a piece of paper curiously taped to your monitorwith the word "Grève" on it.
