and just heard that @swyx joined up too, that would be one helluva fun room to be in

congrats to the very special team @cognition (@ScottWu46 @stevenkplus1 @walden_yan) on their newest fundraise -- and their big deployments turns out competitive programming (and density of intelligence) does translate well to company-building

Every business needs this, like, 18 months ago

We are opening up a new role at Quora: a single engineer who will use AI to automate manual work across the company and increase employee productivity. I will work closely with this person.

“…there’s a good chance that, when we look back on this era in human history, AI will have been the thing that matters.”

I wish more people were taking seriously the possibility that @ezraklein and the leadership of the AI labs are raising: that AGI is a real possibility in the near future. You don't have to buy it yourself, but leaders & policymakers need to consider the possibility it is true.

I don’t know what numbers I’d have guessed, but software dev being a top use is exactly what I’d have guessed prior to seeing the data. AI/LLMs might not be perfect software engineers yet, but they sure as hell know about code

Interesting! Based on “The @AnthropicAI Economic Index” (millions of Claude conversations) AI usage is currently concentrated in software development and technical writing. TL;DR: 💻 Computer & Mathematical jobs dominate AI usage (37.2% of queries) despite being only 3.4% of…

Even if you doubt whether an LLM can truly “think”, to get the best results you should treat it as if it can.


Knowing what you want and communicating clearly are incredible superpowers. good function calling = good prompting good code output = good prompting clear AI goals = good prompting

The 80/20 of AI Agents is basically: - know xml - know what a webhook is - know how to use an api - be good at prompting Anything beyond that is just model capability + creativity.



in my experience Claude has easily been the funniest model

Personal highlights from Claude's snarky AI comedy set.

“Will top AIs get better at [x] faster than all apps [some related y]?” Yes

The question is will top AIs get better at gui faster than all apps add text. I think I have a guess



People just need education and examples. Probably more so just the examples. When I show folks what can be done with AI, they immediately have like 8 more ideas

If you look around with the right mindset, there are >20%-50% efficiency gains sitting pretty much everywhere.
