@akothari @NotionHQ @ivan @buffer[.com] has a similar story :)

I'll leave the story to @rdutel though, he was the domain whisperer and regaled us with tails about it

The model 'gpt-image-2' does not exist.

@FinlaysonConnor they raised $7 trillion dollars and their overlords have already overthrown their founder-CEO in search of $8 trillion dollars

literally why does @discord have 7 updates every time I open it? every. time.

@theo how is that NOT a @convex shirt?

I found my spirit brand in @VICE_GOLF

Great take. We're about to wade into the swamp and there's way too much inertia to stop that from happening.

As it always does, the pendulum will, eventually, swing back into a more stable hybrid-model when AI-systems can be attributed to negative business outcomes.

I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and its impossible to have rational conversations about it with them. I can't name any specific people because they include personal friends I deeply respect, but I worry about how this plays out.

I lived through the great MTBF vs MTTR (mean-time-between-failure vs. mean-time-to-recovery) reckoning of infrastructure during the transition to cloud and cloud automation. All those arguments are rearing their ugly heads again but now its... the whole software development industry (maybe the whole world, really).

It's frightening, because the psychosis folks operate under an almost absolute "MTTR is all you need" mentality: "its fine to ship bugs because the agents will fix them so quickly and at a scale humans can't do!" We learned in infrastructure that MTTR is great but you can't yeet resilient systems entirely.

The main issue is I don't even know how to bring this up to people I know personally, because bringing this topic up leads to immediately dismissals like "no no, it has full test coverage" or "bug reports are going down" or something, which just don't paint the whole picture.

We already learned this lesson once in infrastructure: you can automate yourself into a very resilient catastrophe machine. Systems can appear healthy by local metrics while globally becoming incomprehensible. Bug reports can go down while latent risk explodes. Test coverage can rise while semantic understanding falls. Changes happens so fast that nobody notices the underlying architecture decaying.

I worry.

i feel like declaring bankruptcy with @raycast

not that I'd ever NOT use Raycast, rather it feels stuffed with stuff I don't use and I'm overwhelmed by a million options when i ⌘-space

i'm lost with all these extensions, none of which i use. haven't used DALL-E in years, etc.

@RobertDVis @levelsio @grok Is this for real? That's a flex. What benefit does Amazon get by going through a vendor for this? I get just about anybody else, but Amazon could surely operate its own end to end email infra.

@aarondfrancis @hey_joe79 why is this app design/brand so good?

[Tom Redman @redman]

Codex is a mid-2000s Microsoft engineer. Claude is a mid-2000s Google engineer. And grok is a mid-2000s tumblr engineer

[Tom Redman @redman]

Now Codex is down. Wow!

[Tom Redman @redman]

Instant disappoint.

What on God's green earth are you talking about @claudeai

[Tom Redman @redman]

$ claude --update

[Claude @claudeai]

Introducing Claude Opus 4.7, our most capable Opus model yet.

It handles long-running tasks with more rigor, follows instructions more precisely, and verifies its own outputs before reporting back.

You can hand off your hardest work with less supervision.

[Tom Redman @redman]

@pricciatti Me! Maybe. Going to start with 1.
