As much as our apps and devices know about us today, they don’t understand us. They demand our attention without taking things off of our plate. They overwhelm us with all the things we need to do without lending us an empathetic hand towards getting them done. We deserve more. We deserve computers that understand us, anticipate what we need, and help before we have to ask. This is SPECS Intelligence. It transforms your iPhone and Mac into devices that understand your life, your relationships, and your goals by connecting to the apps you use every day. Instead of just helping you complete tasks, it understands the bigger things you’re working towards and supports your journey towards them. I’m so incredibly excited to finally share this with all of you. Join the waitlist for early access on Mac and iOS: specs.com/intelligence
Meet SPECS Intelligence. It knows what’s important to you: your people, priorities, and what you’re working toward, so it can anticipate your needs before you have to ask. Get Early Access on Mac + iPhone. No glasses required. specs.com/intelligence

What happens when technology is built around your life, instead of constantly demanding your attention? We’re bringing together founders, investors, creators, engineers, and more during LA Tech Week to explore exactly that. Drinks, bites, treats, surprises. Spots are limited, come hang! @specs @Techweek_ partiful.com/e/C6T0REwsaFYxQ…

We wanted flying cars, instead we got flies that trade Bitcoin
I gave the fly brain $100 to trade bitcoin. Dopamine neurons are stimulated when the fly makes profit. Neuron activity controls buy/sell decisions and makes trades on coinbase. Will the fly get rich?

Imagine sending a breakup text with this
Spent 3 weeks building a texting app slower than email. Messages fly at pigeon speed — LA to NYC takes 22 hrs. Sometimes the bird dies & the message isn’t delivered.

You’re absolute right — this watermark isn’t just invisible, it’s imperceptible to the human eye.
🚨 JUST IN: Claude models will now have invisible watermarks embedded in ALL text, and ALL metadata attached to files…

I still believe that oxygen is really good for you when you're a kid. People who are successful were breathing a lot of oxygen when they were young.
Keith @rabois explains his Ketchup theory: "I still believe that ketchup is really good for you when you're a kid. People who are successful were eating a lot of ketchup when they were young." "Malcolm @Gladwell also has a chapter on how ketchup is the perfect food." " I've just noticed observationally that when I talk with some of my friends, I'm like, 'How much ketchup did you have when you were a kid?'"

Not paying my employees for a month so I can separate the missionaries from the mercenaries

Recognizing your mistakes and committing to learning & being better is deeply undervalued these days
Here is the full letter Leopold sent to his LPs last night. Rumors of his demise are greatly exaggerated.
