The real problem here isn't AI - it's Starbucks. Take a look at their bagel and cream cheese, and you'll see what I mean. It's a disaster, and it's a symptom of a bigger issue with how the company is run.

@naralokesh If there is an easy way for us to contribute monetarily to this effort, I would love to chip in and help in anyway I can.

@naralokesh @naralokesh I am so proud of what you are doing to the government schools in Andhra Pradesh. I myself came out of a ZPH School in a remote village called Pallerlamudi and very grateful to the school and teachers that helped us grow.

@SeanODowd15 I understand the buerocracy and all in industries and times where people inject themselves into the process. But is that really that big of a deal now? If you have right metrics and incentives in place it will most probably will take care of it by itself.

@mukund @HarveenChadha Which one is BMW?

@Jessicalessin @WHOOP @ouraring @ouraring I'm shocked that a $350 ring is essentially useless without a monthly subscription. Being asked to pay an additional $7 every month feels like an unfair upsell, especially considering the initial cost of the ring.

Doom scrolling hijacked your attention.
LLMs are hijacking your thinking.
At least with TikTok and YouTube you knew you were wasting time.
With Claude and ChatGPT, it feels productive.
That’s what makes it more dangerous.

@philhchen Best of luck Phil.

[Raja Aluri @raluri]

@RonConway @garrytan That sucks. Wishing you the best in beating it.

@philhchen Great job on the write-up, Phil. What happens if the durable notes get lost or corrupted - can a supervisor recover from that failure ?

@HydREGuide I work in the frontier of AI. That 50% is understatement. It is more like 5 to 6x Ike 500 to 600%) with latest models. Especially in coding and other knowledge based work. How it impacts real estate I don't know.

@gokulr Every job's responsibilities change from time to time and from company to company at the same time. I don't understand the big deal about all this.
There will be hierarchy what ever name you want to give it doesn't matter as much.
Please wake me up when the hierarchy collpases

One possibility: the board independently determined that AGI had been achieved, and Sam/Greg disagreed. Seems totally feasible from the charter:

@Noahpinion Which book?

@mallik70 I have nothing against sams club and I have never used it because the store is way too far. But what’s wrong with Costco? I am a huge fan of costco. No complaints what so ever. Especially I heard they take care of their employees very well.
