I think people do not fully grasp how little moat OAI, Anthropic and the like have. Ran into CC rate limits last night. Switched over to Codex (incl install) within 10 minutes at literally zero switching cost.

And finally experienced the Sol is better feeling first hand.

The ultimate @cursor_ai prompting hack: "If you don’t do it correctly, I’ll cancel my Cursor subscription." - and @cursor_ai suddenly writes 10x better code.

A benchmark like this one is very much needed for everyone building in the application layer.

A new benchmark for evaluating the factuality of LLMs, powered by @kaggle. Submit your models and let's make the world more grounded : )

From the conversations we have with our users it's absolutely clear that most companies do not understand what consumers actually want in e-commerce.

[Silvan Weder @weder_silvan]

This is absolutely stunning! But would love to see some technical report... anyone any pointer?

It is great to see Switzerland taking a step forward in this.

This is why we are building at the frontier of online shopping and AI. Most people underestimate the size of the challenge, but now it is the right time to do it.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

Almost thirty years in, online shopping is still not a solved problem. Big sites like Amazon work, but if you try to order from a manufacturer's site, there's still a good chance it will break. In a very high production value way, with lots of Javascript, but still break.

[Silvan Weder @weder_silvan]

Customer support chats are an excellent tool to get user feedback and resolve their issues in real-time. However, it sometimes leads to funny conversations when you have to convince them first that you are not an AI 🤣🤣

@songyoupeng @mapo1 @AutoVisionGroup Congrats Songyou!

Even though he's forever gone, echoes of Thierry Breton are still everywhere when you're in Europe

Because of him you literally can't find Google Maps anymore on Google

There's not even a heading for Maps anymore!

Only way to get there is type maps dot google dot com 🤯

It is very telling about the state of Europe if its citizens cannot get access to key features of the largest consumer company's new product even though it is one of the regions with the highest purchasing power.

[Silvan Weder @weder_silvan]

This is the first step - stay tuned what's coming next!

Brussels right now: EU beaurocrats padding eachother on the back and saying: 'we suck in technology but at least we are first in regulation höhö' 😂

[Yann LeCun @ylecun]

Meta will *not* release the multimodal versions of its AI products and models in the EU because of an unpredictable regulatory environment.
This means that EU users of Ray-Ban Meta won't be able to use the image understanding features.
It also means that the EU industry will not have access to future multimodal versions of Llama-3.

You know what is the most fun part of building a startup? Making your users happy: getting the feedback in the morning, building it in the afternoon and shipping it in the evening.

Dass das @SRF eine französischsprachige Athletin aus der Schweiz auf Englisch interviewt, ist ein absolutes Armutszeugnis.

If you are at startup events in Europe, you can instantly tell apart people who have been exposed to the US ecosystem and those who haven't by the type of questions they ask.
