I asked Fable 5.2 to animate the history of computer graphics.
I can't wait to see what next year looks like.
Astute observers will note: Cursor launched a slack, Google Docs, notion & linear/JIRA competitor.
This isn’t simply pair programming, it’s trying to replace the entire multiplayer tech company stack.
Why use an MCP to load your company context when you can just put it in the agent in the first place?
If there is one thing the AI revolution has taught me, it’s that 99% of people cannot extrapolate. At all. Quite literally people cannot imagine or visualize progress or changes beyond the current state. Complete inability to predict the future.
Ooo OpenAI is selling the mod retros they gave away at dev day!
My spidey senses & reading tech co tea leaves are making me wonder if this is a trial run for the company to figure out process around releasing hardware / a phone in partnership with anduril, who just announced computers built in USA 2 weeks ago 👀
Does China have datacenter backlash too?
Or are we falling for the state sponsored bot swarm propaganda?
I can’t say I have seen a single non-American politician mention this.

Notice how the Zelda remake got ported to iOS & PC within a week?
Console exclusivity is gone.
Good luck with your moat gaming companies
People haven’t grasped that if Meta & Google can build ad networks that efficiently match you with products & services, Ai agents can do that far better.
Which means a huge % of commerce doesn’t need to involve shopping or a human making the purchase decision. (Not all, of course people still enjoy shopping & browsing).
The things you need will simply show up at your doorstep via a budget.
You’ll simply express a desire and AI and the world will shape around you. And when I say express I don’t mean you send a prompt. The same way meta can read your mind, trick people into thinking it’s recording, and predict things and start showing you ads before you even knew you needed it. It will all be implicit signals.
For example, you go to a restaurant and order a salad, when you pay with your card your agent will read the transaction, realize you want to lose weight and automatically order workout clothes in your favorite color, weights, ozempic, order your groceries with perfect macros, and offer to schedule a workout class.
This is kind of a stupid example just to illustrate the concept, but there are thousands of cases like this. And businesses will start doing it soon too.
The big trick is getting enough trust for the average person to feel comfortable setting a budget for this.
I could see a world where within 2-3 years early adopters devote 25%+ of their income to this.
A small thank you to our early Link balance users. Most people who set one up hadn’t bought anything through Instinct before. I think budgets with guardrails are how most people will start letting agents spend for them.

It’s so fascinating when you start seeing people who have blocked you. Like I don’t ever think I interacted directly with you. So curious. I always wonder why. I suppose you just got annoyed at something dumb or obnoxious I said? Tbh half the shit I say on here is dumb af. But it’s always a strange ego hit to see the little grey reply buttons.

MaxxBench is an incredible name lol.
This why the top models are on top. As soon as you get outside benchmarks things fall off a cliff
Nice DeepSWE score! Does it survive a lowercase filename?
Introducing MaxxBench: 89 DeepSWE tasks with small changes to the instructions or starting code. Same engineering problem, slightly different requirement.
Models clustered around 74% on DeepSWE end up 23 pp apart.
Good at coding, or good at DeepSWE? 🧵

Datacenters lost 40/41 ballot measures in the election
OpenAi 2 days later: Hold my beer.
Rebrand it to American Compute Campuses! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 🦅🦅🦅 Lmfao
The communities that host AI infrastructure should have a say in how it’s built and share in the benefits.
Today we’re announcing new commitments to the communities where we build, along with policy proposals for responsible AI infrastructure.

I do genuinely believe datacenter is a bad term for the massive computing cathedrals bigger than any computer in history we are building right now.
They are actually brand new things vs a few years ago.
But the timing & phrasing of this is so funny.
