Poor indictment of a company is when the recruiter who interviewed you advocating for the company, leaves the same company just a few weeks later.

Episode 1 of ‘SPIDER-NOIR’ will premiere early on MGM+ on May 25.

All 8 episodes will then release May 27 on Prime Video as a binge-release.

@ashotmagazine We getting sinister six before MCU does lol

On the plus side... a world where airport loos are clean.

I still have my accountant
I still have my lawyer
I still have my doctor
I still have my therapist
I still have my driver
I still have my chef
I still have my wife

When exactly was AI supposed to replace everyone?

@FinanceDirCFO Funny I asked siri to show me someone who has no idea how to build an AI copilot for office products but keeps saying AI will take all jobs and it also showed me this video

[Alastair Thomson @FinanceDirCFO]

Siri, show me someone who has no idea what accountants and lawyers actually do all day long...

[Thinkrupt @Thinkrupt_]

@unusual_whales Meanwhile Microsoft can’t even ship a copilot thats useful . They’ve likely missed AI. Given most markets are ruled by 3 firms, Gemini, Claude ChatGPT have already established themselves. Throw in Apples wrapper launching this fall, no one will use MSFTs product. Relax Mustafa.

@John_Stepek @sadbokkie You may be onto something here and this should sit at the heart of any governments agenda - as they would never conceivably cancel a major rail program to connect disparate regions as they fully understand the need of good public infrastructure 🤭

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

We’ve raised $30B in funding at a $380B post-money valuation.

This investment will help us deepen our research, continue to innovate in products, and ensure we have the resources to power our infrastructure expansion as we make Claude available everywhere our customers are.

[Thinkrupt @Thinkrupt_]

@John_Stepek @sadbokkie It is - but unfortunately many entry-level jobs pay this in London where it is simply not feasible and can prevent social mobility.

Marc Andreessen: "Productivity growth is about to go through the roof."

"Productivity growth for the last 50–60 years has been basically at historical lows... Fundamentally, I think it's because we decided other things are more important."

"We decided we didn't want nuclear power. We decided we didn't want a space program. We decided we didn't want cars that went faster than 55."

"What we got in the last 50 years was hyper-acceleration in very specifically—chips and software. And then essentially stagnation in everything else."

"If either the AI optimists are correct, or the AI doomsayers are correct, productivity growth is about to go through the roof."

Adapt or become irrelevant.

"GTM engineers build revenue engines using AI and automation. Since we coined this role in 2023, it has emerged at companies like Cursor, Notion, Lovable, and Webflow. Today, about 400 GTME job listings go live every month."

[Cody Schneider @codyschneider]

I was talking to a GTM engineering friend

He told me that one of the SDRs he used to work with got a new job recently and he asked them for the Apollo API key so he could do prospecting faster using Claude Code

they told him no

and people wonder how startups win

[Thinkrupt @Thinkrupt_]

@SkyNews A paltry 0.1% growth is what this government has managed to incentivise 🤣

[Techsaleshackz @techsaleshackz]

This is probably going to go crazy

[Thinkrupt @Thinkrupt_]

@FT Also Mustafa is in charge of Microsoft AI, and Anthropic beat them in making a far superior office copilot, quicker. It perhaps says quite a bit about his technical talent vs others in the field. He was at Deepmind because he was friends with Demis……..

[Thinkrupt @Thinkrupt_]

@FT You could argue if it’s truly a general purpose technology like AGI, in theory should do a CEO’s job better than someone with deep specialty, as a CEO multitasks and has to have breath over depth…..

Marc Andreessen's new interview, on the future of AI.

"There's like a rotation from software into hardware.

It's possible all the value accrues to the chips, and the energy, and then software is all open source."

[Dhananjay Kadam @dsk4u]

Always remember this

[Romeen Sheth @RomeenSheth]

Best quote I heard from a former McKinsey colleague today:

"We used to pride ourselves on teaching junior consultants to never boil the ocean and just focus on the 80-20. In the age of AI, everyone should be boiling the ocean. For the first time we can run full scale analysis across every single situation."
