Happy 250 America!
bets still on the table America, yet.
@amnigos @kevin2kelly Is this posted from Apna bazaar?
@arushi_ressl Go for a run in the morning, come back home with 3 term sheets.
@anamitra @airfrance Man this sucks! Hope you are reunited with your luggage soon and have a great trip!
@piyushmakhija_ @claudeai First humans train LLMs , then LLMs train humans 😊
This looks like a fantastic opportunity for startups to build. This is going to be an expanding problem space which every enterprise that adopts AI deeply is going to wrestle with.
How to keep AI spend flat while token usage grows exponentially: Not with friction and spend alerts. With better defaults, routing, and caching. Better Defaults (not Usage Caps) – Engineers can choose any model they want, but defaults matter. We’re experimenting with defaulting
@josephradhik Happy birthday my friend, you are in the prime of your life! You will be back in prime when you turn 47 :D
@sriramk Terrible loss for the world
@chrismichel Such a beautiful, moving tribute. Read and saw so much of Om's work through the years but never got to meet him. A great loss for the world.
Today we're launching FluidDocs. You spend a week on a deck, send it, and then you guess what happened to it. Now your deck stays live. People ask it questions, and you see what they did with it. Both sides of the send.
@soleio That looks like a perfect parabola!
@akothari @bchesky @eshp @karrisaarinen @ivanhzhao Well @bandiaditya and @kushagrasinha7 are just getting started!
This is great news for the ecosystem. What a fantastic company and more of the world should be able to own a slice of this. This is also great for getting a sense of how public markets price AI companies. AI companies look a lot like software companies from the outside, but the economics are very, very different. It'll be interesting to see how markets value them. In the short term, I do expect lot of FOMO driven bumps. There's a lot of capital tied up in Anthropic secondaries. I hope some of this recycles into early stage venture!

@BadCapitalVC Solution for India's forex problems
This is so good! Exactly the kind of whimsy that we need in these times.
Just one day after ending "The Late Show" on CBS, Stephen Colbert returned to TV — to host a public access show with rocker Jack White in Monroe, Michigan. Appearances by Jeff Daniels, Eminem and Steve Buscemi.
