Apple engineer’s prompt (probably):

"Fable: scrape Reddit for iOS complaints. Fix them. All of them. Don't make any mistakes."

I saw this slide in Apple’s WWDC keynote, and it’s pretty clear they’re using AI to knock out the stuff that used to be “too small,” “nice-to-have,” or perpetually stuck at the bottom of the backlog.

And this isn't just for big companies.

You too can fix a lot of the annoying things that you don't want to deal with at your work.

@elvissun I’ve been waiting my whole life for this.

I'm seeing it in the desktop claude app as well.

But, it's not in Claude code yet.

[Tom Meredith @tomdmeredith]

Morning delight.

It’s official Opus 4.7 dropped in the mobile app.

I see “adaptive”, but what I hear is “we’re desperate to optimize our compute”…

@elvissun “You know it hallucinates. Think of the water. Each question you ask costs a bottle of water.”

Me thinking… “maybe I shouldn’t talk about my 3 Claude 20x Max accounts.”

@pedrorhumb Do agent payment rails need to be standardized at this point? Let’s get humans out of the loop and see which ones the agents prefer.

[Tom Meredith @tomdmeredith]

@elvissun ha. thanks. know anyone that can help with that?

[Tom Meredith @tomdmeredith]

@pedrorhumb Name names? Or not yet?

@codyschneider I use claude code via browser to setup tracking. I hate doing it myself now.

[Tom Meredith @tomdmeredith]

@chongdashu I'm the same. I also love Grok for research and synthesized opinions.

My grandfather had a saying that hits different now.

"Don't copy my bad habits. Develop your own."

With AI... Don't just blindly copy someone else's skill. Don't use the default MCP.

Build your own habits.

Claude code and openclaw make it super easy.

[Tom Meredith @tomdmeredith]

@MattPRD @garrytan This is why it's necessary to build your own primitives, skills, etc.

Don't just default to the standard mcp or someone else's skill.

Build or modify things that work for how you think and work.

@DanielleFong if agent eat software for breakfast and jobs for lunch...

what is dessert?

@businessbarista counterpoint... some of those overconfident founders will accidentally ai-pivot into something useful. survival bias hides the winners

@a16z To bad there's no longer a model X.

Guess no point in merging Tesla in... sounds boring.
