My universal advice for non-technical people. Stop handicapping yourself and learn how stuff works.
“Stop thinking of yourself as a non-technical person and become a technical person. The only difference is spending the time to figure out how things work.” @Austen at AI Startup Rodeo by @PlebLab

Accountants still deciding whether to stick or twist on AI: this one's for you. Alastair Barlow: 16 years at PwC, built and sold flinder, now building Numbrs. Are accountants cooked? Why is Xero still the default? And the headless general ledger. atozaiaccounting.com/podcast

Im 99% sure every business is about to go back to the 1990s. If you're serious about using AI agents at scale, compute is going to become one of your most important business resources. And relying on the cloud is going to get mega expensive and is completely unnecessary.

I cannot recall any other time in the tech industry when the COMPLETE industry (from small to large companies; nonprofits to VC-funded; private sector to government and academia) is trying to figure out how to change the dev tools and processes we use. all AT THE SAME TIME!!

Why are you hostile to power users? Fine make it hard by not having a higher team tier. But to actively make it hard to switch accounts? Please stop.

SpaceX will literally have rocket landing pads on Mars before we build a new runway at Heathrow. No exaggeration.

The more we embed AI as a core part of the business. The more I wonder how those that don’t will ever catch up.

One of the most important updates coming out of Made by Google today is our new sign-to-text feature in Gboard & Live Transcribe. Built in partnership with the Deaf community, this can help people who sign ASL communicate more seamlessly with their phone or with those who don't sign, like in this Live Transcribe demo:

Palmer Luckey is one of the most intelligent and groundbreaking entrepreneurs in America right now Unless he is being malicious here, his media environment has shaped a narrative in his head that is completely untrue Nobody is safe from social media distorting their reality

Fastest aura loss I’ve seen in a long time…
Beginning July 20, Claude Fable 5 will be included in all Max and Team Premium plans, at 50% of limits. Pro and Team Standard users will continue to have access to Fable via usage credits, and will receive a one-time $100 credit. Demand for Fable has been challenging to predict, which is why we rolled it out to subscription plans in stages, extending access several times as we secured additional capacity.

Framing this as a free credit instead of a regression for users is wild. Now I have to make the Claude Code experience on T3 Code significantly worse in order to keep using the 25x subsidization provided on a Claude Code subscription. xitter.cf/theo/status/2054618101…

I have 2 Claude accounts on premium and they just maxed out at the exact same time. Which suggest Claude are using it as a method to manage demand.
We're aware people are hitting usage limits in Claude Code way faster than expected. Actively investigating, will share more when we have an update!

So many of this ‘let’s automate everything’….. the probably is these agents will be spamming everything, everywhere. Making everything useless, your inbox, social media, phone calls etc.

5 minutes before Trump’s announcement: * $1.5B notional worth of S&P500 (ES) futures are bought in a single clip. * $192M notional of oil futures (CL) sold. More than 4x-6x any other trade size during the market close. Insiders profited from his lies in broad daylight!

🎥WHO PLACED THE BET? Someone just made a killing with an extraordinarily well-timed bet on financial markets, minutes before Donald Trump's announcement of war talks yesterday. Was it luck, or inside information? Either way... someone just got rich. Four min primer👇
