Here’s how I used Claude to turn Eric Ries’s approach into a practical sales workflow. Eric Ries wrote the "The Lean Startup" and his book birthed a new generation of startup best practices. Below we will learn how to turn "Build, Measure, Learn" into an automation. ⬇️

It would be very sad to see Jensen lose his job as CEO of Nvidia He built an empire from nothing that unleashed the most important technology of the century, and is second only to Elon as one of the greatest CEOs of our time

I've used @bot for almost two weeks. Thoughts? - UX is still great - Got it to a point where it fills out forms with little supervision - Best tool for interfacing with X This is the first time I'm not caught up in endless configs. Yes, Grok bot is officially my daily driver

Hmm...I never thought about it that way. Does @JensenHuang have enemies lurking in the frontier model labs? 🤔
Why are old stories that were not even covered up all that well become sudden international and geopolitical news? The timing is suspicious, so worth asking: who benefits and why now? If Jensen, the premier champion of open models, is taken out then anyone who wants AI closed, centralized, and controlled might benefit. Why now? The midterms seem relevant. But also perhaps the upcoming IPOs.

Hot Takes: New era, same goal- keep users on the platform as long as possible. We'll see if they succeed. If they do, Claude poses to be a whole lot more convenient than Microsoft office suite
Starting to roll out today: Claude Whiteboards, Claude Sheets and Claude Data. Think a plan through on a board, build a tracker in a sheet, and tell a story with your data.

The Lean Startup uses Build-Measure-Learn as a framework for helping businesses decide what to build next We're going to apply that same thinking to marketing Below, we'll analyze customer support tickets to identify content opportunities and turn them into a content strategy

Second time this week I've heard Github lock someone out of their account. What's going on?
I dont even know what I did...not having access to my repo is teaching me github is a friction point and Ill be pondering what I want to do about this. Any ideas folks? Should I run my own repo on a VPS?

- Restaurants have no moat. - Anyone can vibecook their own meal. - You can build your own burger at home at a fraction of the cost it takes you to get it from a restaurant. - If a restaurant builds a really good recipe, copycats will instantly reverse taste it and steal it. Restaurants are dead.

Spent a whole week with @bot and I have...thoughts - As much as a I like Hermes, Grok Bot keeps me focus on tasks and not forever tinkering with configs - Love how easy it was for me to get up and running on mobile - Total n00b but can't wait to use @bot in more advance ways

As someone in AI and on the left, what is the case for the median voter to support data centers? The best arguments seem to be: - Jobs (most are temporary construction, and even that is often done by people coming in, not local) - Taxes (which are reduced / eliminated in deals with local gov) If you are primarily concerned about cost of living and like, having a job, why would you support datacenters? Don't get me wrong, I think we do need to build these, I think they are important for the US to be the dominant player in AI, but we need better arguments.
Are there any pro data center Democrats? Asking for all my friends in SF

As the kids say, "this ain't it chief"
7 months ago, AOC and I introduced an AI data center moratorium. Last night, 43 of 44 communities voted for one locally. Americans don’t want Big Tech oligarchs wrecking the environment, gutting jobs and threatening humanity’s future. NATIONAL DATA CENTER MORATORIUM NOW

Want dems (and let's admit some republicans) to embrace data centers? Answer these questions in less than 15 seconds 1. Are data centers bad for the environment? 2. Specifically name new office jobs AI will create 3. Will data centers raise energy bill?

Too many technologists pontificate about leading the AI race, beating China, and long drawn out speeches about Jevons Paradox. Most Americans don't care. Want to build a data center? Assure them that AI centers won't be a nuisance neighbor that will someday take their job

Top of the Democratic agenda on day 1 needs to be a pause on advanced AI development, regulation of this out of control industry, and a ban on artificial superintelligence.

"China is just copying our stuff they can't innovate" is exactly the mentality that got the German automotive industry into the complete disaster of a position that it is in now.
There are three elements here: (1) being clueless about Chinese performance in engineering and research in general (2) being clueless about the situation in AI in particular (3) having some racist priors filling you cluelessness.

Power Brokers? NYMag loves to frame technical progress as an us vs them issue. Resist. Go out there and find your personal piece of abundance.
AI has minted a new power structure. A handful of private companies command the might and wealth of small nation-states and are mostly left alone to self-govern. A few hundred employees are on the brink of becoming centimillionaires and considering which causes and presidential candidates they will funnel their vast resources toward. One way to tell the story of how AI is changing our world is through some newly familiar names: Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, Jensen Huang. But an astonishing amount of power rests in the hands of a few dozen other people, some virtually anonymous. For this year’s annual “Power” issue, we are surfacing 26 people whose influence on the AI landscape far outstrips their fame. We partnered with @ReadTransformer, a publication with a command of the politics within transformative AI, whose team drew on its years of reporting, as well as new interviews with more than 50 high-ranking industry leaders, to help articulate what makes these people powerful. The AI scene is small. Many are remarkably intertwined, sharing offices, homes, and funding. The list’s average age is 36. It is also overwhelmingly male. Read about the few dozen power brokers who will decide how AI shakes out, refashioning the world for the rest of us in the process: nymag.visitlink.me/AgEtqI
