For anyone who has used frontier models fully deployed across an organization, it seems profoundly unlikely this will remain true. Will adoption take longer than people in tech think? Absolutely. There are still companies sending faxes. apollo.com/wealth/insights-n…

Why are people paying all these tiny random companies for a vm layer of abstraction on AWS/GCP/Azure/Hetzner etc.? It makes no sense to me. More cost. Much more risk. No benefit. They are popping up everywhere. AI agents will maxx your config no matter what you are using.

Increasingly seeing teams delete @NotionHQ and just store data in markdown, a DB, or Google Docs and have all staff interact with company data solely through agents.

It's unfortunate that the majority of books in many non-fiction categories (business, "wellness", etc.) should not be books at all. They should be articles. They are one idea stretched into a book without particularly good writing or reason.

This problem is only going to get worse as agents make spinning these clones up at scale so simple.
I found 153,502 live clones of Shopify stores. This is a major issue that will continue getting worse and worse - and most Shopify stores have no idea what to do about it. bollenbach.ca/blog/cloned-sh…

Why does @ElevenLabs allow so little to be done with their Claude Connector? Instant unsub.

Biggest difference for me between GPTSol-6.1 and Opus 5.5 is computer use. For some reason Claude just doesn't seem to be able to get computer use right. New issue every time. If its a computer problem I give it Sol every time. Post-Astra Codex computer use has been 🔥.

In a sense this has always been the case for small tech companies with the incumbents. The steamroller does slow down or stop and the ones in front or who are very fast do get to build. This time the steamroller feels like it has a rocket strapped to it though.
I feel like every current startup is basically building 5 feet in front of the OpenAI/Anthropic steamroller. Crunch.

Gen Z men hold the most traditional views on gender roles of any generation, including Boomers. Not Gen X. Not Millennials. Gen Z. New data from Kings College London and IPSOS Mori.

Love to see someone using Dispatch.
Claude Code is absolutely incredible but have you tried going outside?
