Some big updates this week! The https://t.co/Yz61qJLcD0 adapter went live on https://t.co/3qLf8CcdxD by @colemurray.
We spoke to him a few days back and filmed Ep 1 of the picks and shovels podcast.
Had a lot of fun chatting with him about background agents, sandboxes and his hot takes on the space. Give it a listen! (sorry about any editing/subtitle errors, we're learning!)

Total disaster from @sfmta_muni at San Francisco fireworks.
Instead of doubling up on buses they CANCELLED buses coming to the GG Bridge. Hundreds are waiting for the #28 rn.
You told people to take MUNI to the 4th of July celebrations, then abandoned them. Unreal.
30+ @Waymo stuck in the only parking area for the fireworks show yesterday, blocking all regular parking for 5 hours.
Cops can do nothing there, all Waymo’s car just looped and looped
Is this the new AI loopmaxxing?
@elonmusk@SFGate@karpathy
idk man i just don't feel like doing hackathons anymore
everyone's building the same AI wrapper with 40 features. nobody cares if any of it actually solves a problem, as long as the demo looks packed enough to impress the judges.
@cneuralnetwork@lucifer_x007@sanidhyatwt interesting, not sure then. i’d still lean more towards your emails ending up in spam. but i agree w your conclusion, the job market really is cooked, especially for new grads
@lucifer_x007@sanidhyatwt@cneuralnetwork they’re right. i get AI generated cold emails from recruiters and they all end up in the spam folder. cherry on top is they’re sent not only by real email IDs but also company domain IDs
