The idea of writing software on your phone would have been comical 2 years ago. Now with AI Agents this is a reasonable form factor. Because the interaction model of AI Agents is heavily task oriented, you’ll be able to do almost any type of complex work from anywhere.

sumovabitch, they did it they really really did it

Just saw the first actual example of this in production in a 1,000+ people company, and it's amazing They built an AI agent that: 1/ makes phone calls to everyone in the co every week, asking for a status update 2/ sends a report back with a summary of all the updates 3/ has a convo so the CEO can double click on any issue Basically replaces the entire middle management layer of the business — no human needed to distill information up and down, with all the biases & politics & slowness involved in that. Just ICs, a CEO, and AI in the middle Also means that as an IC you don't have to spend hours preparing for your big "meeting with the CEO." You can just ramble on, add as much info as you want, and trust that the agent will summarize and focus on what the CEO needs We're adding the ability for Lindy to make phone calls, so this will soon come in a Lindy near you

Floods are among the most widespread natural disasters. Here we describe our new flood forecasting model for state-of-the-art 7-day lead time prediction, expanded forecasts on ungauged watersheds for expert use, and a new reanalysis & re-forecast dataset. goo.gle/4hHDS9O

Using centuries-old mathematics, researchers have discovered a new kind of shape that describes forms commonly found in the natural world. go.nature.com/3XSlKBZ

The prompt can matter a lot here. Got a valid but not quite optimal route from o1 mini with some additional guidance 🧵

Two big updates from Andy Jassy today: - Taking a buzzsaw to middle management - Return to Office 5 days a week $AMZN has been dead money for 4 years. Time to crack some skulls

the Mechanistic Universe is a lie - everything is diffusion. atoms, electrical charges, the strong and weak forces - just heuristics (generated lazily) with high enough resolution that we mostly don’t notice.

Here's my conversation with @RosalindPicard, professor at MIT & founder of Affective Computing. Teaching AI systems to better understand human beings is a passion for me, so talking with Roz was an honor & a pleasure. She is a true visionary in the field. piped.video/watch?v=kq0VO1Fq…
