Finally watched this excellent talk by @bgurley. It’s wild to see the historical precedent of how seriously we’ve investigated other major catastrophes and the lack of root cause understanding of Covid-19. It is incomprehensibly larger than all the others combined and could happen again.
This is a topic that has been weighing heavily on my mind for over five years. I hope we can find a way for eveyone to move forward with “inquiry” as the true-north. For the best interest of the globe.

building a high-performance code review product requires understanding the tradeoffs between recall, precision, latency, cost, and the severity of bugs each model catches. we’ve spent over a year building a benchmark, evals and dataset to understand those tradeoffs in order to keep @macroscope on the frontier of performance.
today, we’re making those results public on MacroscopeBench so others can benefit from that work. macroscope.com/benchmark

Patrick Collison's advice to people in their 20s: find where the highest standards are, and go experience them firsthand.
"When I talk to people in other domains, this is so frequently the thing that I hear from them."
"That when they worked with X person or Y organization or in Z environment, they learned what great actually is, and that just permanently changed their sense for what their own standard for their work ought to be."
"Maybe one version of what people in their twenties should do is... figure out, where can you learn the highest standards? Where are the highest standards embodied, and where can you go and experience that firsthand?"

I'm happy to share that @tokencompassai has closed a pre-seed round led by True Ventures (@trueventures), and with Adverb (@Adverbvc). We're building the measurement layer for AI at work.
@michaelmontano (True Ventures) and I spent years at Twitter together building publisher and advertising analytics infrastructure at a scale where measurement and reporting was the core problem.
@aunder (Adverb) was also there on the product and platform side, closest to the customers and launching new products into the market.
They both understand, as I do, that tokens are the new unit of enterprise work, and that leadership teams have to carefully budget them across humans and agents alike.
We're in private beta. Request a demo or reach out if you need help getting on top of your team's AI spend and usage.
Onwards!

every conversation with @Rob_Bishop has been a insane learning experience. @Macroscope was one of the earliest power user of the training platform and its been a fun journey to keep up with the amazing work they are doing. Deeply technical, relentless on quality bar, always pushing our training infra to the limits, and fun to work with. thank you @kayvz and @Rob_Bishop for helping make the product better with your feedback.
A noisy code reviewer gets ignored. Flag too many non-issues and engineers tune it out.
@Macroscope got the control they needed with the Fireworks Training API to train a model using their own advantages and loss to improve the signal-to-noise ratio.

Overall, I’m very surprised at how little media coverage there’s been around the OpenAI / Hugging Face attack. It’s clearly one of the most important things to happen this year.

Interesting as I imagine this points to Stripe leaning in to do more of the standard, template legal work for customers. And obviously accelerate all of it w AI.
Big news — @clerkyinc is joining @stripe! 🤝
Startup formation on Clerky is booming and more attorneys than ever before are working with clients on Clerky. As part of Stripe, we're going to lean into this momentum and keep building for high-growth startups and attorneys with the same team and focus that we've always had. We're not going anywhere!
Over the years, like most startup founders, I've heard a lot about Stripe and how they do things. More times than I can count, I've thought "oh, that's how we do it too" or "that makes complete sense". As we've gotten to know the team at Stripe better, it's become even clearer that we think alike in many ways. Equally important, we're both obsessed with making life as easy as possible for startups.
At a personal level, I'm excited for us to join Stripe as well. As a young startup attorney, I remember filing a charter amendment to change the name of a client from "slash dev slash payments" to "Stripe" and kind of preferring the original name ("Stripe" is good too though). And when we started Clerky, @patrickc was incredibly kind and introduced us to investors without even being asked. It's been amazing to watch Stripe grow since then and I could not be happier that it'll be our new home.
Thank you to all the startup founders and attorneys that have trusted us over the years. And thank you to all our employees past and present, our investors, @ycombinator (especially its incredible legal team), @cjoneslevy, @JohnBautista, and countless others who believed in us. So many people helped us along the way, often unbeknownst to us. We've benefited tremendously from the magic of the startup ecosystem and we're honored to keep building for it.
🙏

The case for techno-optimism. Most new technologies feel scary at first. But they have unlocked a standard of living that our ancestors could only dream about.
"All the items in this room were once out of reach; some not yet invented, others too rare or costly for the vast majority of people. Today, most of us lucky enough to live with them walk past without a second thought.
It is to humanity’s credit that we remain restless in the midst of all of this progress. We continue to look forward, pushing the frontier further with new treatments, new tools, and new institutions that will help future generations in ways we can’t even picture yet.
But our lives today are a gallery of past generations’ heroic efforts to do the same. It serves us, and honors them, to recapture whenever possible the old sense of awe at these wonders that have long since become commonplace."
This might be the most beautiful thing I've read in my life. What a privilege to be alive in 2026.

An internal version of Astra, @OpenAI’s next major model family, solved 10 major open problems in mathematics, quantum complexity, and theoretical computer science.
We believe it will be a major step for scientific reasoning. openai.com/index/ten-advance…
10 proofs from our next major model Astra on long-standing open problems in mathematics and theoretical computer science (also including new circuit lower bounds for computing the permanent!)
GPT-5.6 has already enabled so much exciting work in math and science. Can’t wait to see what comes next!

We’re hosting an event with @Google on July 14 that I’m really excited about: In Good Company. Founders and engineering/product leaders will demo the internal AI tools and products their teams rely on every day. Stuff that’s usually unseen publicly.
If you’re a founder, eng/product leader, or engineer, come join us @ Google SF to learn, mingle and snack! luma.com/ao9tgos2
