Jensen Huang: "If that $500,000 engineer did not consume at least $250,000 worth of tokens, I am going to be deeply alarmed. This is no different than a chip designer who says 'I'm just going to use paper and pencil. I don't think I'm going to need any CAD tools.'"

It’s not about junior vs senior, it’s about “good with AI” vs “not good with AI.”

The AWS Console is a social experiment to see how many UI frameworks can coexist in a single website. Every click is a journey to a different decade of web design.

[DevOps.com @devopsdotcom]

AI-driven interaction is pushing software design beyond traditional menus and forms, creating a need for interfaces that understand user intent and support communication that feels more natural and intuitive. This shift requires architectures that can adapt to fluid interaction patterns and respond quickly as expectations evolve.

Multimodal experiences are becoming the norm, with voice, text, images, video, and gestures working together in a unified flow that depends on stronger orchestration layers and infrastructure capable of real-time performance.

Trust and accessibility remain essential as systems must provide clear guidance, adapt to individual preferences, and support multiple ways for users to interact.

@krandiash SONIC

[Karan Goel @krandiash]

We've raised $100M from Kleiner Perkins, Index Ventures, Lightspeed, and NVIDIA.

Today we're introducing Sonic-3 - the state-of-the-art model for realtime conversation.

What makes Sonic-3 great:
- Breakthrough naturalness - laughter and full emotional range
- Lightning fast -

@airasia & maybe all the airlines should ban people from chewing tobacco products like Pan parag in flight just like how you prohibit smoking & vaping. It’s fricking nauseating to sit next to someone chewing something with such toxic smell in a enclosed cabin for hours !

Some thoughts on how we have been building at Thumbtack with AI and how we are rethinking some traditional development processes

@TurnerNovak Too early you have to work at the intersection of crypto + AI 😉

[Avichal Garg - Electric ϟ Capital @avichal]

Ironic that we got free AI from a hedge fund and $200/month AI from a nonprofit.

@arnavsahu341 I have the same thought whenever I use workday and any Oracle product.

@subhashchy Interesting ! Wonder how you maintain high availability SLAs ? Ever worried about a large scale outage and unhappy merchants ?

@lufthansa it’s been more than 15 days without our luggage with all our stuff. We had to buy everything to continue our trip in Europe. Where do I send the bills ?

[Purusoth Mahendran @purusmahe]

@zachbairr @JennaJuvluv @lufthansa Awesome hoping to get it before New Year’s Eve and get to wear some nice clothes 🤣
