I've never seen an exceptional product that was designed by committee.
Too many cooks in the kitchen make products that are complicated and diluted. Every compromise feels small in the meeting, and together they water down the whole thing!
any time i check out threads i find
anti ai slop
old people who dont realise theyre cross posting there, and leaking all their personal info
creepy old guys falling in love with ai girls

Last year I thought Threads was an existential risk to X.
When Meta puts its full weight behind something -- by injecting the app into Instagram, it’s DEFCON 5:
You have to squeeze out every last drop of growth from all available surfaces to save the app.
However, I started to realize that the opposite was happening:
It was strengthening X.
If you look at any announcement by Zuck, you will see the most rude & toxic comments on the internet.
But when he makes those same announcements on X, people are thrilled about how he’s pushing humanity forward. X is a place where people are excited about the future, so it’s no surprise he and his top lieutenants are using it more than their own app.
Threads — and Bluesky — have effectively quarantined some of the worst people on the internet.
And so I had an epiphany: those apps are X’s anti-abuse systems.

You have the same 24 hours a day that Elon has
You have the same 24 hours a day that Zuck has
You have the same 24 hours a day that Jensen has
They use the same AI tools you do, same apps, same internet.
It's the greatest time ever to be building and it's not even close

When the CFO makes the tech decisions lmfao
New: Accenture has told employees it will only fund $29 per month of Claude use. Meaning that employees who often spend as much as $1,000 a month are now scrambling to find ways to keep access to the tool. A sign of the continuing crack down of AI 404media.co/accenture-tells-…

I love people who tell me things I've never thought about. The more surprising, the better. Few things are as thrilling as a different approach, a unique perspective, a lens with a different focal length.

Good read
🗞️ if your team is too busy doing their 'normal job' to experiment with AI, you're preparing them to be replaced

In this post, I guess this's the last time I'll say it. AI use is no longer optional if you wish to be employed. What follows is advice for current employees and hiring managers on how to hire in 2026 to source AI-first candidates.
Visited Northcote in Melbourne today
Has to be the most aggressively political place I’ve been to in Australia, outside of a couple vegan restaurants seems like an awful place to live or go to
So @Teknium hermes gadgets when 👀
We built a gadget of our own, too: Muse Home Link is a little usb-c powered device that allows Muse to connect to your home network to talk to smart home devices like TVs and speakers and anything else that exposes https.
We manufactured a batch of 5000 Home Links which should be ready to ship in a few weeks, and they are free for Muse subscribers while supplies last. Claim yours at gadgets.muse.ai
All the code for Muse Home Link is open source too!
my favourite thing to do is seeing a tool i would like to use, then asking Hermes to vibe code one for me that does 90% of the job in about 10 mins
