it's amazing that i can get on x and find out that claude is down, well before claude's own status page tells me

yep

@heysagarpandya let's do it

There is so much happening in the world of AI right now.... oh wait it's been that way for years now.

Today I'm publishing a new essay, Policy on the AI Exponential. AI is progressing extremely fast—much faster than the policy process was built to handle. The essay lays out where I think the technology is now, and the action needed to close the gap: darioamodei.com/post/policy-on…

Rubio's habit of dropping rap lyrics into very serious situations shows that he understands that life is fundamentally absurd.

Anthropic just made a massive bet on small business AI through Claude for Small Business. This story is profound & personal for many reasons I'm about to share... 1) @tenex_labs is @AnthropicAI's official AI transformation partner for Claude for Small Business. Some highlights of the partnership: - We co-built the Cowork small business plugin: 31 skills built around the workflows SMB owners actually run (planning payroll, closing the month, chasing invoices, running campaigns). - We co-created the Claude SMB Tour: a 10-city, free, half-day workshop for 100 SMB leaders per stop. Starting in Chicago today. 2) Bringing SMBs along for the AI ride is so important for our country: - Small businesses are 44% of U.S. GDP. They're plagued by scarcity of money, of people, of time. AI can bring them abundance. - If every SMB gets a 10% lift in profits from this technology, that's a $1.41 trillion increase in U.S. GDP. - And the point most people miss: SMBs can move faster with AI than any Fortune 500. No crippling bureaucracy. No governance overhead. No corporate politics. If you want to see what's possible, read the recent Fortune piece on Rick Chorney. 29-year-old high school dropout. Started a janitorial company in Abbotsford BC in 2023. Year one: 7am to 1am, 7 days a week, $14/hr. One day he spent 4 hours figuring out how AI could help. Automated intake. AI receptionist for $99/month (replacing a $4K/month role). AI email triage cut his inbox to 20 minutes a day. Year 1: $242K. Year 2: $1M. Year 3 (projected): $1.3M. He works 8-hour days now. Takes vacations. Uses Claude as his business advisor. Rick is the roofing contractor in Tulsa, the bodega owner in Queens, the local accountant in Birmingham. He is the gold standard of what we need to help every SMB in American become. 3) I was this SMB audience for a big chunk of my entrepreneurial career. For most of @MorningBrew's life, we were a small business. Small team. No venture funding. Big aspirations. Scarcity was a breeding ground for creativity, but it was painful too. Worrying about payroll. Working insane hours. Saying no to anything that wasn't mission-critical. When I look at what AI can do today, I can't stop thinking about how much further we could've gone, and how much faster, if we'd had this magic in our fingertips. I want to make sure the next person building their version of the Brew gets to feel and harness that magic.

We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity. This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.

Effective today, we are: 1) Doubling Claude Code’s 5-hour rate limits for Pro, Max, and Team plans; 2) Removing the peak hours limit reduction on Claude Code for Pro and Max plans; and 3) Substantially raising our API rate limits for Opus models.

Every firm will need to reconceptualize work as they build agentic systems. As AI and agents take on more of the execution, the opportunity is to expand human agency and redesign how work gets done. An in-depth look from the team at what this shift means and key considerations for every business: microsoft.com/en-us/worklab/…

See the announcement today from @brian_armstrong at Coinbase in the attached pic. Managing fleets of agents effectively is the most high-impact thing you can do now for your company and for yourself personally. I have the most advanced set of open-source, provider-agnostic agent tooling to do all that at scale: MCP Agent Mail for inter-agent messaging and file reservations (avoid the git worktree anti-pattern and merge hell). beads_rust for agent-intuitive task management that works well across all harnesses. bv for triaging tasks based on the graph structure of task dependencies (maximize development velocity through de-bottlenecking). ntm for doing agent orchestration (creating and managing swarms of Claude Code and Codex instances). dcg for preventing the agents from doing destructive things. cass for letting agents instantly search all session history globally for any agent harness ubs for polyglot “super linting” and bug finding. You can find all of these on my GitHub: github.com/Dicklesworthst… Or install all of them automatically on a Linux cloud server using the acfs setup wizard, available for free at agent-flywheel.com And see my complete guide explaining how to do planning with these tools, which is the key to achieving high code quality: agent-flywheel.com/complete-guide And then to make these tools as effective as possible, I have a complete suite of powerful and sophisticated agent skills that are deeply integrated with the tooling available at jeffreys-skills.md The skills are $20/month. You don’t need to use them but they’re absolutely worth it if you want to get the most out of the tools and the agents in general. Why do this now? What’s happening at Coinbase is going to happen soon at every well-managed technology company within the next year. The writing is on the wall. This isn’t alarmist fear mongering. This is the inexorable reasoning of the market and capitalism grappling with these irresistible economic forces. Don’t wait and become a statistic, facing a structurally difficult job market without the skills that all well-positioned employers are going to be looking for. Take action NOW to master these technologies and empower yourself.

I add a fake "onboarding fee" of $500 to every proposal then "waive" it on the call "Normally there's a $500 onboarding fee for new clients but honestly if you're in by friday i'll waive it since we already did the strategy session" They just received a $500 discount on something that was never going to cost them $500 People don't evaluate price in a vacuum. They evaluate price relative to what they almost paid. $8K feels different when 30 seconds ago it was $8,500 I've been doing this for 7 months and not a single person has questioned it. They just feel like they won something Many lessons

Literally every AI founder I speak with is talking about getting more into services. It's a fascinating shift from what has historically been taboo in software.

/goal

@petergyang Can you run both? And in the same machine?

Top OpenClaw maintainer shares how he uses the new /goal feature in Codex, along with common pitfalls and prompting tips. Highly recommend following vincent, his posts will save you a lot of time manually figuring all this out.

I've been using /goal for ~3 days on OpenClaw. - 13 runs. - Gazillion tokens. - Many, many PRs. The lesson isn't "i used /goal a lot." it's that /goal is not a "do my ticket" button. It's a constraint workflow. I want a keep the ship on course. A thread on what actually works 🧵
