I built this just for fun for a few friends but:
1. it's growing organically
2. people that installed and connected to a few friends use it every day
3. the #1 thing i hear from people is "I text my friends more now" which is perfect. Exactly what I hoped. Talk to your friends!
I built a tiny app last week. Pick 9 friends, take photos, they show up on each other’s home screens.
I shared it on TestFlight and it ended up being pretty fun. It’s in the App Store now.
It took Apple longer to review it than it took me to make it.

Reminds me of when google tried to call their new android phone a “super phone” because it was so much better than a smart phone.

An idea I've been playing with. Develop. A photo app that acts just like a film camera: film rolls, no instant previews, double exposures, you gotta wait for the film to develop, you get your photos in a beautiful envelope, each photo feels special. Save to your camera roll or send to a friend.

this model is actually insane at email classification
i tested it on 1500 of my own emails to see how well it works and I am blown away
After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI?
I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev
• 20-200x faster
• 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free)
• Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions
AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution

Instinct looking to raise $1B, potentially at a $10B valuation.
Compute costs are high and Noah doesn’t want to charge users for the product.
Instinct has raised $350M to date, mostly uses open source models and wants to own chips and data centers

It’s time for someone to make a phone that optimizes for using it less, not more. We’re ready for it.
so much new software being built with so littler variation in that software. where are all the new social products? where are the new places to be creative?

Data-driven product strategy optimizes for the most measurable work, which is not the same as the best or most important work. Companies should actively reject anything that incentivizes short-term wins over long-term strategy.
How to destroy a beloved brand.
Step 1: Put a soulless, data-driven consultant who has never even seen a basketball court or a running track up close in charge.
Step 2: He goes direct! And increase profits while destroying the retail distribution system and betraying a multitude of 20-year-long partnerships.
Step 3: Motivated and innovative competitors like On Running and Hoka rush to fill the distribution gap Nike left by abandoning its trusted partners.
Step 4: Not satisfied, he fires all the stupid creative people who can't prove any of their ideas work with hard data. What could they possibly know?
Step 5: Celebrate when milking the brand for every last cent works for about 18 months, even though the data quickly show a disaster is looming.
Step 6: OMG? Wut?
Step 7: Fire the old CEO and bring in a new one who's been with the brand since day one. He tries his best, but just too much damage was done.
Step 8: Get delisted... Go down in history as the greatest example of data-driven idiots destroying one of the most successful creative brands of all time.
The end.
Everyone that’s never worked in gaming is going to quickly learn that a good game is way more than just the graphics.
It's 2026, every text editor should linkify the selected text if you paste a url instead of replacing with the url as text. Looking at you Google Docs and Outlook.
Does everyone’s phone alarm list look like this? At some point I’ll have every minute of the day accounted for. There’s gotta be a better way.
