I put a prompt injection into my LinkedIn bio and recruiters are messaging me in Old English and calling me Lord.

Strong disagree. The work now is actually more intense. Instead of deep strategy work followed by easy busy work, all the busy work is handled by agents now. The work is now managing multiple agents in parallel. Those that go home early will likely be out of job.
The winner in all of this AI token spend isn’t: 1. More revenue growth 2. Less OpEx It’s: 1. Leisure time - go home early, work on a side gig, play video games etc etc etc My suspicion is that people are using blower token budgets to do their job in less time. Not so more work in the same time. This may change but humans are not motivated to do more work and see upside accrue to a few. Take this to the bank as Wall Street starts demanding specific data about AI enhancements over these next 18 months.

It's hard to believe the timeline we're living in.
RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'" Trump: "Right"

Hey @typesfast. Thanks for the ref to The Fish That Ate the Whale. One of the best books I've read! Any other recommendations?

Guys, relax, the only risk in transiting the Strait of Hormuz is that Iran will shoot a missile at your ship. Otherwise it's open for transit. An all-time quote from our Secretary of War.

Everyone is talking about the impact of closing the Strait of Hormuz on oil and gas. I haven't seen much discussion of the war's impact on helium. Most people think of helium as being a fun gas you use for children's balloons. But helium is actually one of the most important industrial gases, used in rockets, MRIs, quantum computers, and most importantly, in the production of semiconductors. Qatar produces ~30% of the world's helium as a byproduct of its natural gas wells, and that supply is now cut off from the global market. 🧵

We need @shell to address the 24/7 trespassing deterrent that blares from its shuttered station, audible from 300 homes in our area in JLS Oakland. It is a total public nuisance and I’m sure harming business for our locally owned mezcaleria across the street. SO unacceptable!

Tried TaskRabbit for the first time in years. Guy 1: rushed and chipped our furniture. Guy 2: spoke zero English, refused the main job, made inappropriate advances toward a family member. Guy 3: visibly stoned. All $60-80/hr. Already reported. Is this what TaskRabbit is now?

Not sure if announcing the company conceded to DoW demands to mass surveil citizens and autonomously kill people is the flex he thinks it is...
Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome. AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement. We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only. We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements. We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.

Brutal takedown. The whole thing is truly comical... "If you had to precision-design a policy to showcase the Trump administration’s shortcomings, the IEEPA tariff saga would be it." ft.com/content/57d9ad35-2334…

Google also launched a new "practice" section in Translate. Essentially an AI language tutor. Been testing it out and it works great.

Google just made a $2,000 AI education free (and most people will still choose to stay illiterate). They quietly launched Google Skills, a hub with 3,000 technical modules that replaces "prompting" fluff with actual DeepMind research workflows. You can now access the exact curriculum used to train their internal teams on transformer architecture for $0. If you don’t use this, you’ll eventually complain about the people who did.

Seems like the tide is turning for OpenAI. Was in NYC last week and multiple startup execs stated they are not using OpenAI, because they don't trust Sam Altman. ft.com/content/23e54a28-6f63…

Some alpha. Hearing of a number of companies that are migrating from AWS to GCP. Includes Bay Area startups. I'm doing the same with my company. AWS support has been horrible the last year and GCP made us an offer we couldn't refuse.

I have $30k of credits to a major LLM provider that are set to expire in a couple months. Anyone interested in using them? DM me if so.

My Show HN post seemed to go under the radar last week. Getting some traction now. We're automating company research, with our new API focusing on corporate hierarchy / networks. Feedback welcome. news.ycombinator.com/item?id…

My experience with @Uber has been absolutely ridiculous: March: Ordered food, immediately called to cancel before it was made. Restaurant confirmed cancellation. Uber refused to refund $30. Had to dispute with my credit card company and wait a month.

Thank you for the support @Uber. Impossible to get ahold of someone, so opening another dispute with my cc. Crazy how much time and money is being wasted on such a simple matter.

What a joke. @lyft should use this for marketing to contrast how dysfunctional Uber is now.

Just shipped our most requested feature: Corporate Hierarchy API that uses AI agents to trace any company to its ultimate parent. Top use case: compliance teams identifying state-owned enterprises (hello China/Russia). Would love any feedback on it: savvyiq.ai/products/entity-h…
