Recently @tobi shared the philosophy behind River, our Slack-native AI agent, and how it has become a teaching workshop for all of @Shopify.

Below River lies the Aquifer. Principal Engineers @burkelibbey & Javier Moreno share the engineering story of how River came to be, and the substrate it runs on:

@everestchris6 SOLAR

[Chris @everestchris6]

this OpenClaw bot finds warehouse owners & books them solar deals on autopilot...

here's how solar business owners can use it to close $500k+ commercial installs:

- scans 1000s of warehouses via satellite imagery
- scores every roof by size, sun hours & payback
- pierces the LLC to find the actual human owner (not info@)
- renders their building with panels on it + 25-yr savings
- ships them a personalized microsite at their company name
- follows up across email, sms & linkedin
- books calls straight to the calendar 24/7

reply "SOLAR" + RT and i'll send you the full breakdown of how you can do it too (must be following so i can dm)

@Shitpost_2048 Needs to say "Outlook scary"

[Adi Polak @AdiPolak]

Jim Cramer asked Jensens why companies are laying people off if AI is supposed to make everyone MORE productive.

Jensen's answer:

"For companies with imagination, you will do more with more. For companies where the leadership is just out of ideas, they have nothing else to do. They have no reason to imagine greater than they are. When they have more capability, they don't do more."

@HarryStebbings Paraphrasing from a mentor:

Companies tend to respond to pressure in one of two ways:

#1 shrink the company

#2 expand the ambition

The ones that win usually pick #2.
