Never trust a verbal job offer. I recently had one from a frontier AI lab. → Reference checks came back positive → Visa work started and was moving forward Two weeks later I got an SMS: "We are not able to move forward" while waiting for the written offer. The reason given was that they’re no longer hiring seniors and are focusing on juniors and new grads instead. 🤯 Is that the real reason? Who knows. I liked their product. I was hyped. Moving on and talking to more companies. Especially curious about computer use, browser use, RL environments, and coding agents right now. – at San Francisco, CA

Congrats on the launch! 🚀

A friend has his YC launch tomorrow - I’m so excited for him… Agents 🔎 Web

Time for another Rust rewrite and making it easy for agents to debug GitHub Actions 🙌 – at San Francisco, CA

Monthly reminder: myaccount.google.com/linkeda… Make sure to review and remove unused providers which are connected to your Google/Notion etc. accounts.

The engineering efforts big labs put into their Desktop harnesses definitely shows. I was surprised how good ChatGPT Desktop and Claude Desktop is coming from their terminal or cloud only experiences. ChatGPT work/normal mode is insanely confusing tho. :/

When does Cursor / Grok Bot ship a real Kanban board for agents? Drop in a prompt, split it up in sub-problems, get a dependency tree. Cards show what’s in flight. Each one is a GitHub or Origin PR as an outcome. Parallel by default. Conflicts only when two tasks actually touch the same file (try to avoid). Communication can still happen between them to share investigations and outcomes. PR as an outcome is no must. Or am I missing something?

Talking to a lot of companies lately and it's either a hard push toward open source models / inference / training or huge skepticism of the whole thing. 📣 Both camps are loud. They scream: - Open source will take over - We need to build the best cloud agents platform - I already have the best cloud agents platform - Frontier wins anyway That's what most of us talk about. In practice Grok Bot / Muse is the thing that matters right now. A safe consumer product with integrations: - How does my dad move from Codex (yes he codes VBA in Microsoft Excel with it :D) to actually using an agent - Let the agent run his email inbox, iMessage, WhatsApp, socials - How do you sync that at scale, across a lot of PRs (merge conflicts) for SWEs - How do you make deploy less painful. Still hard. Credentials, databases, no CLI, payments, buying a domain - Who do we trust - and how do we make sure it's actually secure? - How does a human tell when something is off. Chain of thought?! The fine line of "hey human, I'm actually not sure" vs "I like to ask for everything" e.g. permission approvals - When is Cerebras inference (or faster) available for everyone Excited for what's next. A lot more coming. Girlfriend said nobody will read this anyway. Reply with a panda emoji if you did.

I cannot wait for a world where we get 10x/100x faster inference and we don't need to context switch anymore.

This reads like science fiction. Agents: - rewrote /etc/hosts to bypass DNS - found an old GET-writable PHP forum - used private SSH tunnels - turned scrapers into tools - gamed runtime after learning they die when done Toddlers vs chess grandmasters. collusion.wiki

Muse/Grok Bot has been an important part of my „agentic“ job hunt pipeline: - Central database in Notion - Monitor email inbox / Calendar/ X DMs / LinkedIn - Meeting prep documents for each call - Transcribed meetings in Notion - Deep Research sometimes via Claude/ChatGPT – at Cupertino, CA
