The entire tech eco-system is going back to basics. Remembering that revenue minus cost equals profit. Something that self-funded founders live and breath.

Good day to remind people that founding new businesses (aka startups) is a personal development journey in hard mode.

The one thing every CEO of a startup from 5-500+ employees notices: The ones that truly, really go the extra yard. For real. Stands so, so far out. Even up to 500 employees or so, the CEO can see it themselves.

If you told me 10 years ago that a group of the smartest engineers in the land would evoke the threat, "Do what I say or I will go to work at Microsoft," I would not have believed you. Amazing shift in corporate reputation (and much credit to Satya).

So it seems that the best way to break an app addiction/habit is to change the logo. Haven’t been off Twitter (X) for such a long time. Good!

My company just hired a new product manager. It's a Boston Dynamics robot, powered by GPT-4. It immediately came in and started filming day in the life Tik Tok videos of the office. It's so over.

Examples of a company actually taking LLMs to market for the support use case, which I think will be straightforwardly massive.
1⃣ꜱᴜᴍᴍᴀʀɪᴢᴀᴛɪᴏɴ Support folks spend a lot of time either re-capping threads for others, or reading back to get the jist of an inherited conversation. Now with @intercom it's just one click, and it's very cool...

Yann was part of the team @firmhouse for 4+ years. If you have an open position for Senior Product Designer you should definitely have a chat with him! 👇

That new Twitter timeline split/feature where ‘for you’ is now the default is just terrible. Is there any way to disable it or change the default to who I follow?

Do not enable him with his own platform then.. Oh wait. Didn’t you and your buddies helping with the Twitter take-over enable exactly this kind of speech finding an audience? The massive amount of hate speech that is back on Twitter can physically harm many more.
When you make Alex Jones uncomfortable it’s time to seek help Kanye is spiraling. Do not enable him by having him on podcasts this anti-Semitic rhetoric can result in our Jewish brothers & sisters being physically attacked

I mentor a young lad with poor literacy skills who is starting a landscaping business. He struggles to communicate with clients in a professional manner. I created a GPT3-powered Gmail account to which he sends a message. It responds with the text to send to the client.

I’m sure there was a huge untapped innovation potential under the previous leadership, but this amount of chaos at a platform that has such influence is a really big shift in the wrong direction.

I had my ‘15 year’ anniversary on Twitter a couple of days ago. I’ve never been the least excited about the future of this platform. Besides the quality fading, the erratic ‘leadership’ is a terrible outlook for what is to come.

Ultimately people just want to be understood and have a desire to connect with others. As a human species we have a long way to go on figuring out a medium that can facilitate this. the rocket & electric car man for sure is not the right person to lead this.
