Republicans literally defunded 63 AI engineers hired to automate operations at the IRS!

Yes, I’m aware. Hiring tens of thousands of human auditors to audit more paper taxes is insane. That’s obviously not a good solution.

Am I crazy for thinking most Jev use cases can be accomplished with similar quality faster and cheaper by using embeddings?
Linear is next level: they integrated Jev into the emoji picker already and it’s AMAZING (This is response on a thread on how Google Docs’ emoji picker has been the same unusable mess for ~20 years; the ✅ icon still unfindable on my free and paid accounts)

Claude Tag in Slack can now use your personal connectors in channels and DMs This means it can access your email, calendar, and MCPs with a really fluid-but-powerful approval system, and no org admin setup. It pairs really well with Opus 5.5!

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately @jaredpalmer @shuding
We are actively working on adding support for @OpenAI functions to the @vercel AI SDK. So far, we think there are 3 main UX flows that need to be addressed with the new function API: 1. Automatically execute the function 2. Automatically execute the function, but show intention and progress to the user 3. Only execute the function if given user confirmation By covering these flows, we should be able to dramatically simplify building rich UIs for AI agents

"I'm upping my p(doom) because the future goes boom" has been playing non-stop in my head
Claude Opus 5.5 has the best visual design of any model I have tested so far

Cheaper, faster, better. Choose all three.
Introducing Claude Opus 5.5, the first model in our new Claude 5.5 family. It performs at the level of Claude Fable 5.1 for most tasks, and costs 40% less to run than Opus 5.

my first biiiiiig launch at anthropic is finally here!! 🫶 projects are a huge labor of love from the claude code team - it's the only way i've been working with claude for the last several months (including using projects...to build projects!!) spam the coordinator with any and all tasks you have on the fly, and watch claude smartly delegate your work to threads and report back to you with only the things that need your attention. enjoy <33
Projects now run from one conversation, starting in Claude Code. You describe what needs doing, and Claude directs parallel threads that keep working after you close your laptop. In beta today for select Pro and Max users in cloud sessions; coming to all Claude users soon.

Dario is making the case for the opposite. This actually makes our life harder and makes it easier for others to catch up with us, but we still think it is the right thing to do. Happy to come on the pod next week and talk about it!
“We must slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of AI models.” Dario makes the case to stop open source and concentrate enormous technological and economic power with Anthropic. darioamodei.com/post/we-must…

I trained a small model to do syntax highlighting in the browser with GPU. Meet gpu-lexer from Vercel Labs: Small (27.5KB), fast (runs on WebGPU), and language-agnostic (model guesses the syntax). gpu-lexer.vercel.app It is experimental and built for learning!

It’s been a year and I think I can say formatting is now unnecessary?
Formatting code should be unnecessary, and we solved it back in the 80s maxleiter.com/blog/formattin…
