Tweeting reminders to myself

@wesoudshoorn I couldn't do it when it was a poker thing, can't do it when it's a coding thing haha

[Tom Connole @tomcnle]

At Toronto Tech Week and @tobi called the idea of a one person company bullshit haha. Would pay to see him and @levelsio duke it out.

Less spicy in the way that he didn't say it's not possible for a coy to go unicorn, just doesn't believe in the merits of living your life that way.

[Tom Connole @tomcnle]

It’s kind of a strange thought that I think someone could make a very comfortable living just consulting on the experience of waiting.

Being on hold, pending orders, waiting in line. So much brand satisfaction is won or lost in how companies treat those moments.

@DamiDina You coming to homecoming today?

[Tom Connole @tomcnle]

@jackfriks Haha, as an Australian living in Canada my condolences go out to all my Canadian friends who think that paying for bank fees and transfers is a thing

[Tom Connole @tomcnle]

@peer_rich Where do you put this in a room? Thinking about this in the context of a room of office level is weird.

[Tom Connole @tomcnle]

Awww. The internet can still make the right people famous.

[jack friks @jackfriks]

7 months ago i posted this as a joke and then it came true...

[Tom Connole @tomcnle]

Backdoor IPO I guess

[Negligible Capital @negligible_cap]

*ALLBIRDS ANNOUNCES EXPANSION INTO AI COMPUTE INFRASTRUCTURE

$BIRD (Allbirds) is changing their name to NewBird AI and is announced their expansion into AI Compute Infrastructure.

The failed shoe business, which recently sold the Allbird’s brand and footwear assets to American Exchange Group will now pivot to become a fully integrated GPU-as-a-service (GPUaaS)

What the fuck?

[Tom Connole @tomcnle]

This is what I originally expected a recruiter was doing when I saw how much they charge in corporate land.

[Austen Allred @Austen]

Engineers! We want to:

Fly you to Austin

Give you an apartment

Clean your room

Do your laundry

Feed you 3x/day

Help you master building with AI

And give you a $200k to $1m job.

You pay nothing, ever, no matter what. Even if you don’t take the job.

[Tom Connole @tomcnle]

Follow this man. It's going to be fun to watch. A year without screens.

[David Daines @daviddorg]

The newspaper has arrived

Every day:
- Weather
- Top 5 stories
- Fun fact

Today’s fun fact: In 2007, a batch of tardigrades survived 10 days in open space

A year without screens – not a year without information

[Tom Connole @tomcnle]

Everyday is so mind bending at the moment

[Steve Huynh @ALEngineered]

You guys realize that Claude Mythos can’t be ethically released to the general public ever, right? That is, we just have to wait until the entire internet has been patched of all critical exploits, and all future code is forever scanned going forward.

So no software should be released until it has been scanned by Mythos. But you have to be part of the handful of companies that have access to it.

We are in a genie-out-of-the-bottle moment. When there’s a new major 0-day exploit, teams of agents will race to compromise systems while the means to stop them will be dependent on whether you are in the club or not (you are likely not in the club)

[Tom Connole @tomcnle]

Yep, they welfare interview models before releasing them? What a mind bend. This is Claude Mythos Preview

[Tom Connole @tomcnle]

@peer_rich Charge your phone haha

[Tom Connole @tomcnle]

I actually dislike the memory features in general chat with Claude/ChatGPT. I've got wayyyy to many random curiosities and attempts at things for it to cling onto *that* idea 18 months ago and refer to it in every single interaction. Time for a hard reset I guess.

[Tom Connole @tomcnle]

I might do the @levelsio vibe jam this year. Playing around with a plane crash survival game. Lost inspired haha.

So fun to be creative with game mechanics and I think it has a tonne of positive brain expanding spin offs for building other applications (even b2b saas haha)

[Tom Connole @tomcnle]

My god. The aurora on the edges. 😍

[NASA @NASA]

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.
