Everything in the economy depends on energy. Economic growth depends on energy growth. We are ending the bottleneck in nuclear energy: fuel. Thank you to @JakePaul and @GovAndyBeshear for joining us in Paducah and your support of what we're building.
America needs to build again. @ScottNolan @generalmatter is rebuilding a safe and clean nuclear fuel supply chain here at home. energy is national security and we @antifund @geoffwoo are proud investors and backers of Scott & General Matter on leading the way

Matic, the US-based robot vacuum maker, is adding native voice controls that will let the company’s vacuum clean messes or rooms with simple commands. I chatted with @mehul about the feature, privacy, and what’s to come. Gift link: tinyurl.com/5dxu6zak

BMW has been headed here for a while. 2023: "BMW drops plan to charge a monthly fee for heated seats." theverge.com/2023/9/7/238632…
seems crazy. The movie Spider-Man: Brand New Day paid BMW to take over the display of every BMW made after 2020. When you start a BMW, it shows you an ad for Spider Man. Really cheapens BMW imo.

Exclusive: AI startup @midjourney has bought astrology app Co-Star and is planning to launch its first image-generation app. These are part of new software initiatives teased during the surprise medical scanner announcement last month. Thanks to @DavidSHolz and @banu__guler for the conversation! bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

The next 250 years of the American project should be unimaginably abundant, if we can keep it. Read Scott Nolan's vision for America's Next 250 in today's Not Boring.

"There should be as many models in the world as firms in the world." Satya and I dig into when to own vs. rent your intelligence, why every company should be building and climbing its own private evals, and what makes for a stable frontier.

Introducing @PoeticHQ: a new AI system that executes complex multi-hour tasks with 99%+ accuracy and 10x fewer tokens than agents. We raised $50M at $500M from Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, First Harmonic, and Genius Ventures to build AI that does complex work inside Fortune 500 companies without hallucination. While code is too brittle, agents are too unpredictable. The work that runs the global economy - anti-money laundering, fraud investigations, underwriting - needs extreme accuracy. So we built a new kind of software that pairs the flexibility of AI with the predictability of code. When the world stays the same, Poetic runs fixed code: fast, cheap, identical every time. When the world changes, Poetic uses AI to regenerate its approach and find its way back to the objective. In one year, we went from zero to an eight-figure run rate as a team of four. Since then, we’ve scaled the team and executed the highest-stakes processes at AIG, SoFi, and Chime. At SoFi, a large US bank, Poetic reached 99%+ quality on fraud investigations in five weeks.

Get ready to hear a lot more about model routing --matching the job to the model instead of running everything through the most expensive one "For a lot of the boilerplate work, you can get five times, ten times better cost efficiency using models that are still good enough" -@cognition's @ScottWu46

Essentially an ROI guarantee. And a signal the AI cost conversation has moved from how much you're using to what you're actually getting is this where AI pricing is headed?
AI should earn its keep. Introducing the AI Productivity Guarantee. If Devin delivers less engineering value than you’re paying for, Cognition will fund your usage until it does, up to $10 million. It’s time for the AI industry to stop maximizing tokens and start maximizing productive output.
