algofencing (noun): The algorithmic process of surfacing or grouping users who share very particular tastes, interests, or cultural context, often resulting from higher engagement for hyper-niche content.

Software is increasingly treated as disposable in the AI era. Yet we spend half our waking lives looking at screens! We don’t want to spend that time with zombie products—monotonous, vacant, and uncared for. We want products with soul. 💜 I go deep on this in my talk from @lennysan's Summit: piped.video/watch?v=GLvFTMtw…

one of the cool things about @meetgranola is that we have holiday homes - for team retreats that pods can book out and also personal weekends the deal is that each team that goes out gets a small job to do here's me in the Beach House putting up coat hooks with my product manager

I know so many people who are curious about AI but don't use X because of negative perceptions or bc they don't know where to start. Yesterday my wife asked me to get her set up on X. So, I took the opportunity to make xstarterpack.com/ - it's a simple prompt anyone can use to set up their X to follow AI news & discourse (and avoid rage bait). It's ~200 accounts - admittedly incomplete and reflecting my biases - but it covers many important voices across research, policy, economics, business, finance, applications, and practical use, with a range of political and ideological orientations. At the very least, it’s a good 80/20 (done is better than perfect). Hope it helps more people tune in to the greatest show on earth!
i was having dinner with someone recently who asked why i spend so much time reading & posting on x. she had a pretty negative perception of the platform mostly shaped by the mainstream narrative around it. my answer was simple. x is where the future gets beta tested. you basically get to watch ppl build things, talk through ideas, show off stuff, & argue about where everything is going, way way before it reaches anyone else. there really isn’t another surface on the internet quite like it.

A lot of love went into this work across our design teams at Shopify, and a lot of it felt incredibly traditional. Redesigning, uplifting and polishing our core interface. Starring at old screens, removing complexity, layers, colors, strokes and shadows. Simplifying the UI and untangling years of design decisions. At the same time, we are building AI-first interaction patterns through Sidekick (using the latest tools) that can actually help people get work done way faster. That juxtaposition felt kind of perfect. So much of design right now gets framed as “craft vs AI”, but this project was a good reminder that the work is all of it. Proud of everyone who pulled this off.
The next generation of commerce deserves a next-generation interface. The Shopify admin has a new look, with easier navigation across key workflows and Sidekick front and center when you need a hand.

Mark Zuckerberg: failure doesn’t matter. “The question is how much you win, when you win.” “@WalterIsaacson wrote this biography of Einstein. One of the interesting things were all the theories he had that were wrong.” “People don’t remember those.” “We’re all going to get a lot of stuff wrong, what matters are the intellectual and cultural contributions we make that help push stuff forward.” “We have a resilient company that is not afraid of failure.” “That allows us to take some big swings and tolerate being ridiculed for long periods of time.” “If you’re trying to do something that’s really new, people have to think it’s ridiculous. If they didn’t, someone else would’ve already done it.” “In creation, the upside is infinite.” “If you build something that hundreds of millions, or billions of people like, then that makes up for a lot of ideas that didn’t end up working.” Via @Complex

I worked closely with @dps for 7+ years and I personally trust @Muse, more than I naturally might, specifically because he is involved in building it.
I’ve seen a couple of posts about this so wanted to demystify. Today, every Muse user gets a free computer in the cloud. It's a real computer, and we’ve designed the security architecture of the Muse Secure VM carefully so you and your Muse can do almost anything you could with a computer sitting under your desk while keeping you and the system safe from threats like prompt injection. We wrote about this at length in our security blog post – security.muse.ai. Activity in the “runtime cell”, which you share with your Muse is unfettered, but sensitive actions are all overseen by the Sentinel, which runs outside of that cell. Similarly, all sensitive secrets - like the passwords you enter into Muse’s secure credential storage - are also stored outside the runtime cell. The runtime cell gets its own root filesystem (including a full Ubuntu linux image) separate from the host filesystem where your other more sensitive data lives. Because it is isolated from the sensitive stuff that runs on the same box, this means that we can, and do, offer users full visibility and control over the files in the runtime cell. Just as you can when you install Linux on your home computer, you can poke around and see all the files that make the system work - both debian system files and the binaries and data files that implement the parts of Muse which run in the runtime cell. This was a very deliberate choice - your Muse Secure VM truly is your own computer in the cloud. You can install software in it, write and compile code, use the browser to surf the web: it is your own Linux box that you can operate as you choose with your Muse. Poking around in this computer doesn't give you any privileged access to Meta infrastructure, or to other people's data If I may geek out a little here for a second… As a kid I loved to take things apart to see how they worked. As a teenager I got into computers and soon found myself drawn to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM and the system registry, later Slackware’s /dev/, /proc/ etc – I could see how the system was laid out and as I explored what DLL files and .so files actually did, I gradually became able to meld the computer to my own will. We’re really proud to be able to put a real computer in millions of people’s hands with a similar level of transparency. We built a file explorer right into the Library tab of the UI. We want you to be able to see the markdown files Muse writes while it thinks about how to serve you better, and explore the internals of the system if you’d like to. So, when you ask your Muse to show you its entire filesystem, and receive gigabytes of files you’re seeing the full contents of the runtime cell. It’s yours to explore and enjoy! If you’re not a geek like me, or simply want to download the data that you personally have created directly with your Muse, we added a feature for that too in Settings > Data controls > Download your agent data.

Dolly Parton wrote over 3,000 songs in her lifetime. She lived to be 80 years or 4,200 weeks old. Dolly left us many lessons, but this one seems particularly important.

Theory: People who learned English as a second language are intrinsically pedantic because the meaning of words carried higher stakes for them than native speakers. We value precision because we value signal. Precision creates more points on an otherwise convoluted map.

One of the most fascinating takeaways from @rauchg on @lennysan pod was him saying that eloquence and articulation were one of the core skills he’d be emphasizing for his own kids’ futures. Especially having previously bought into the “chat interaction with AI is archaic—we need new patterns”, his counter to that position was impactful. I have since been very tuned in to what that dude is doing and saying.

“Don't think for a second that because you are an alarmist that you are doing a social good.” This sentence is just devastating for so many intellectuals who need everybody to presume that they’re “the good people” Thank goodness we have Jensen!

I'm also unreasonably happy with the landing page. The copy could use some work since it's pretty AI sloppy but who cares! people don't read anyway and I wanted to get this out there. Could animate the bg scenes but maybe later.

Incredibly excited about Soleio’s course at The Academy on the Geometry of Luck, or how to design a life so good fortune flows through it.
Honored to begin teaching a new design philosophy @GeometryofLuck this fall at the Horowitz Andreessen Academy. We are going to revisit the age-old subject of luck.
