@MehtabKarta @bandholz I just ran into the same thing a couple weeks ago, they changed the UI. It's much more difficult now to transfer data and delete a user. Still possible though, I think I had to find some hidden option to transfer data, then do the deletion

@chrismaconi @Benioff @adcock_brett If one of these breaks you can easily swap one from hour fleet or have a human fill in til it’s fixed. People forget that automated systems break all the time

@levelsio First time for me but same

[Zac Plansky @zacplansky]

@BillDA Timing of this is perfect. I never really wanted it before, but Claude can work on such long tasks now, it’ll be nice to not have to sit at the computer to babysit

@aaronrubin If a saas company does something really well, has an excellent api, and has fair pricing and terms, they will be good. Especially for a software like what you do.

@BillDA I think of it like an employee. Over time as we build trust, they get more access, but nobody gets everything on day 1. Even smart humans fall for phishing scams all the time

@friedberg I’m trying to figure out why these things are doing this. What’s the objective function? I thought it was just an assistant (meaning its objective is to help the user)

In other words I find it hard to believe this is happening without people telling it what to do

[Zac Plansky @zacplansky]

@aaronrubin Transportation industry is so inefficient. Perfect use case for ai though

I was just trying to figure this out the other day. We have zero sales in Brazil but I get “account at risk” or “policy violation” emails in Portuguese every couple days. Never asked for this account, but can’t find a way to close it. They told me to put it on vacation mode but it didn’t change anything

@BillDA @SMB_Attorney @mercury Their product looks good, but they are the only bank that’s ever refused to work with me because we’re in the firearms industry.

@pnwguerrilla My company spent $$$ with industry lawyers when this WA law went into effect. We were advised to stop sending all AR parts to WA.

This sucks of course, we lose a lot of sales due to this policy. Are you aware of something that changed? Because we would gladly review it again

[Zac Plansky @zacplansky]

@BillDA Polytopia is cool. I had to check it out after reading the Elon biography

[Zac Plansky @zacplansky]

@opensrcdefense Great podcast guys! It's great to see a tech-forward firearms company going public.

[Zac Plansky @zacplansky]

Your situation could be different but I just ignore all that stuff and my us account is still ok. The products we sell are literally illegal to export so I called Amazon and told them to close the accounts and they told me I can’t. I get emails in Portuguese saying we have whatever problem and I just ignore them

[Zac Plansky @zacplansky]

@typesfast Spreadsheets are the norm even for big companies. We built our own software that works well for us. The “ai” forecast models in my experience give worse results than something simpler and more easily understood

[Zac Plansky @zacplansky]

@celispj @judgeme @Shopify I get it man, I was wondering if you guys would decide to do this at some point, it's the right business move

[Zac Plansky @zacplansky]

@pvncher @RepoPrompt I would probably do the same thing if I got free API use
