one of the more interesting product design questions right now — dots, grok bot, and muse each have a different mental model for organizing chat threads and it's not clear which is correct
I spent the better part of the summer making a tiny rocking chair for my one-year-old nephew.
I’ve made more complicated things. I’ve made more useful things. But I’m unusually pleased with this particular thing.
not to brag but i’m getting pretty good at staring wistfully into space while codex solves my problems

Now that one person can do the work of an entire team, perhaps we need fewer companies and more Renaissance-style patronage — eccentric benefactors directly funding ambitious creators, artists, and builders.
one of my good friends has a large billionaire patron who sponsors his content & is largely hands off. this means he doesn’t have to run specific sponsors or ads on his platform that feel unnatural & disruptive.
from a strict creator monetization + livability perspective this seems like the cleanest model for content creation.
i.e. creator can focus entirely on producing interesting work & the audience gets an undisturbed experience. the patron gets cultural influence, intellectual stimulation, or simply the satisfaction. more wealthy ppl should do this.
With voice input becoming the norm, the open floor office plan feels even less practical than it did before — give me a cubicle, or better yet, a door.
We discovered a sophisticated recording device that was hidden inside one of our offices. We used our models to understand the device and where it had come from, identifying that a specific employee had planted it a few days earlier. We referred the matter to the FBI, and we’re grateful to the agents and prosecutors who moved quickly to make an arrest. The FBI’s investigation is ongoing and we will continue to support their work.
At this time, we have no indications of this individual inappropriately accessing or exfiltrating model weights, source code, or customer data. The employee was terminated.
We take protecting our technology, data, and people seriously, and as a matter of national importance. Our security program is designed to protect against a wide range of threat actors, from insider risks to cybercriminals to nation states, and this case is an example of how AI can help address these sophisticated security threats.
more people should internalize this
We instituted an official AI Writing Policy at @Clay.
Massive thanks to @sophiebits on our engineering team who wrote this.
Originally this was just for eng, but other teams found it so helpful we expanded it company-wide.
Here are the four guiding principles:
1. You must stand behind every idea and sentence
It is your responsibility to make sure that the entire document is representative of your own thoughts before you share it.
2. Writing is thinking
Spending time on the writing process teaches you more about your topic. If you circumvent this process, you will walk away with a poorer understanding of the subject matter.
3. More time should be spent writing a document than consuming it
If you generate a document from a short prompt then ask your readers to go through the longer output, you are disrespecting their time. They can talk to ChatGPT themselves if they want to.
4. Longer is not better
AI makes it easy to generate long docs, and it loves padding them with sentences that say nothing. If you're producing docs from a short prompt, consider just sharing the prompt.
You can read (and borrow) the full policy below. Hopefully we all communicate a bit more clearly now :)
if anyone at @apple follows me please know that there are zero situations in which i want hitting play on my airpods to launch the apple music app on my desktop

one time 10 years ago i presented my apple intern project to craig and he seemed visibly unimpressed — in return i shake my head disapprovingly during craig’s wwdc presentation every year

Really proud of this one.
Most AI products today sit around waiting for you to ask the right question. A more interesting world is one where your computer knows what you need before you ask for it.
With the latest release, @diabrowser now keeps tabs on what’s happening across your apps… proactively bringing you the tasks that need your attention.
Computers are about to change in front of our eyes… not just models, interfaces will begin to accelerate too… so fun…
we spent a decade building tools to connect people and now the most valuable skill is the ability to be alone with your thoughts for more than 20 minutes
frank ocean could never release another track and still go down as one of the greatest to ever do it
never thought i’d hear @mkbhd say ‘neuecast’ out loud. very cool.
