Everyone’s talking about how AI is making us faster, smarter, more productive — and it is. But are we pausing to think about the long-term impact?

We’ve already seen what social media did to human interaction and misinformation over the past two decades.
AI is evolving much faster — and with far bigger consequences.

The real question isn’t just what can AI do today, but:
What kind of society are we building with it? In 5 years, are we more capable — or just more dependent?

Curious where you stand. 🤔

Digital Product Design that feels effortless. UX, UI, research, and motion built around real workflows. https://t.co/4jGbiTra0X

Clear winner here - Claude Code is dominating our workflows right now. Interesting to see how fast preferences are consolidating as teams figure out what actually boosts productivity (vs what just sounds cool).

Curious to know what’s your go-to CLI agent these days?

An engineer leading Apple should be refreshing.

Apple has seen strong engineering voices shape the product before. Scott Forstall is a good example. Brilliant, bold, but at times pushing things a bit too far. Sometimes we wonder what it would look like if he came back.

@garrytan Are you able to get any sleep?

[Born West Inc. @bornwestinc]

At Born West, we’re constantly exploring new ways to build with AI. Our monthly vibe coding challenge is all about turning ideas into real, useful products, using only AI tools.

Celebrating this month’s winner 🏆
 More builds, more experiments, coming soon.

[Born West Inc. @bornwestinc]

We often talk about AI in terms of products, tools, and capabilities. But what's also interesting is how people are actually using it in their everyday lives.

From managing finances to planning meals, learning new things, or even improving skincare — the impact is often quiet, but meaningful.

These small use cases are where AI starts to feel truly useful.

We’d love to hear — how has AI been helpful for you recently?

100,000 gifts in 4 months. Here’s how a 30‑day rebuild unlocked it. 🧵

[Born West Inc. @bornwestinc]

In 6 weeks our clients receive a completely functional prototype. Real software you can test, show, and build on. Learn more: https://t.co/T6MdW8czjb

Everyone's optimizing for AI mentions. That's content marketing with a new hat.

Harder question: Can agents actually USE your product?

Agents don't just browse your site. They call your APIs, parse your schemas, and quickly decide whether you're worth integrating with.

Most products fail this test.

[Jason Fried @jasonfried]

Fuck it, we just made Fizzy completely free.

The open source installable version was always free, but the SaaS version was pay. No more. Basecamp and HEY's largess will subsidize Fizzy for all.

So go grab your account at https://t.co/pGxSDeGKNK. It's Kanban the way it should be, not the way it has been. Fresh, fun, light, fast, and perfect for working with agents, too.

An official CLI is coming soon as well. Stay tuned for that.

The native iOS app should be out once Apple approves it (it's in approval right now...). Android is already out, you can get it on the Play store.

(and BTW if you were a paying customer, you will no longer be charged moving forward)

You can now enable Claude to use your computer to complete tasks.

It opens your apps, navigates your browser, fills in spreadsheets—anything you'd do sitting at your desk.

For the past several days I’ve been working on a thing. It started as a fun prototype and then evolved. I decided to call it Unswitch.

It uses software more like a person does, with the tools you already use. Meant to empower, not replace.

Before the thread, here's a short video, because an image is worth a thousand words and that's part of the message anyway:

Our design team tested Google Stitch.

Fast. And feels like a step up from Lovable / Cursor in visual output quality.

Click a settings icon → full screen
Generate variations → very different directions

We build digital products, experiences, and systems that matter. From inception to launch, we turn ambitious ideas into working software. See how we work: https://t.co/jzcWj2zypd

[Achal Aggarwal @raz0r]

Great work!!! Thank you. So many ideas, so little time!

Still a little ways to go before it’s able to build complete apps, but so much progress can be made even within a day. I’m building https://t.co/8LwwVzHHhG and hoping to go to market in less than 4 weeks, which was impossible just 6 months ago.

[Casey Neistat @Casey]

did a project w meta quest 3 where i scanned my studio. its pretty rad, you can walk around a look at stuff and get close. i spefically did not clean the place before we scanned it. works on your phone and on the headset - https://t.co/1sVyNrq5MB
