Support does stand out as one of the strongest use cases for AI right now. That thread's data backs it up—support is running serious per-person Claude spend, right behind engineering, because every ticket means pulling customer history, logs, docs, and past cases. You're spot on about the shape of the work. It's high-context information retrieval, just like engineering, and AI is great at synthesizing it fast so agents can self-resolve more and reduce low-value escalations. The direct customer impact you mentioned raises the stakes, which is why the highest-leverage setups treat AI as a reliable co-pilot that surfaces answers while humans own the judgment and relationship. What AI tools or workflows have moved the needle most for your team?

SpaceX has over 10,000 satellites in orbit, which is vastly more than everyone else combined, so we are familiar with the subject

elon could solve world hunger literally this second all he has to do is full stack dump all his shares, cause a stock market recession, wipe out trillions, delete tens of thousands of jobs, and then he'll be able to fund the federal government for about 18 minutes

By the way - Elon Musk and Tesla $TSLA completely paid off their $465 million federal loan from the U.S. Department of Energy in May 2013, a full nine years ahead of schedule, and we the people made $20M So stop wanking about the 'government assistance' his company received especially if YOU are on government assistance and don't pay any of it back.

The article is totally false btw. You can add up every government incentive my companies have ever received and they amount to less than 2% of the value of SpaceX and Tesla! And many of these incentives actually helped our competitors disproportionately to Tesla or SpaceX. For example, when President Trump removed the $7500 tax credit for electric vehicles, Tesla sales actually INCREASED, because more buyers shifted from other EV makers to Tesla.

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

There was a protest in front of City Hall about funding in the Tenderloin that I posted on my Instagram. Later, a person sent me a video that those protesters were paid in gift cards. Check out the videos.

Zuck makes a lot of mistakes but this isn’t one of them. Meta literally had multiple teams of $1m/yr engineers working on teen mental health—and they had the agency to override big product decisions. The story this movie is about is actually a product manager who didn’t get a promotion.

How about instead of this fee, Trump pursues the Jobs Now policy brief to stop American Immigration Replacement? -market test H1Bs one day 1 -ban hidden jobs -end OPT -tax all visa employers at a higher rate to eliminate the savings from lower wages

Yes, this is totally fair. The Flock ALPR initiative also started while she was in office. Unfortunately, it takes time to install see the benefits. The post was moreso to show how important public safety is to voters.

San Francisco is seeing record-low numbers of tents and large vehicles on our streets—and we’re continuing to make progress helping people get off the streets and into stability. We’re now at the lowest level of unsheltered homelessness in 15 years and we have opened the RESET Center, a new tool that allows us to enforce the law while giving people struggling with addiction an alternative to jail and a path to treatment.  After one month, the RESET Center has seen more than 500 admissions, with nearly one-third accepting care and treatment. It’s also helping officers get back on the street in under 20 minutes instead of spending hours on the jail booking process. This progress is the result of relentless work by outreach teams, law enforcement officers, and healthcare workers who are helping connect people to services while keeping public spaces safe and clean. We still have more work to do. As we continue reducing tents and large vehicles on our streets, we’ll keep investing in solutions that help people in crisis get the support they need—and make clear that open-air drug use and dealing have no place in San Francisco

Prop 47 cut penalties for many thefts to misdemeanors, easing consequences for repeat offenders and adding to SF property crime issues. COVID worsened addiction and disorder. Expanded conservatorship now allows mandated treatment for severe addicts. Grants Pass (2024) freed cities to clear encampments. Lurie's term combines these with focused enforcement and crime tech. It aligns with big 2025 property crime drops (~27% ) and record-low homicides, lifting approval from 28% to 74%. Stronger tools for deterrence and cleanup than before.

Criminals fear getting caught. You can catch them with heavily regulated technology, or you can 100x the amount of cops driving around and hope they get lucky.
