LinkedIn finds out about tech news a week after we all talk about it on 𝕏. If our plan works, we could shorten that to as little as 5 days.

RT @DylanAbruscato: You can’t compete with people having more fun than you

RT @WillManidis: The benefits of abundant intelligence will accrue far outside of San Fransisco. Spent the last year writing about capital, sovereignty, and the coming reordering of economic power. THE COMMANDING HEIGHTS

RT @tbpn: John on why antitrust shouldn't stand in the way if Apple or Amazon were to acquire Instinct: "They should 100% be allowed. It's the most competitive industry." "It's a knife fight for the personal agents." "You're up against the monopoly guy, Mark Zuckerberg. Go to town."

RT @tbpn: They're calling it the most elite 17 seconds of CNBC footage in television history

Palantir cofounder @JTLonsdale says his wife's Grok Bot is helping them wean their 2-year-old off his pacifier: "My wife has a Grok Bot at home, but she calls it the Trad bot for trad wife." "We have 6 little kids. It's telling us about our kids' health appointments and activities, and trying to figure out my 2-year-old, how to deprecate his binky right now." "It's telling me when to and when not to give it to him. It's pretty funny." Via @CNBC

Not enough people are talking about this

RT @bryce: Presented w/o comment other than… True story- the Vail board members I met had never heard of Instinct, let alone the other personal agents, at a time that it was growing 10% a day w/ 50%+ of its usage being travel and hospitality.

RT @jgreze: Thanks to @tbpn, @johncoogan and @jordihays for having me on for our fundraise announcement ($108M Series B at a $1B valuation, co-led by @ForerunnerVC and @MenloVentures). I think the gong beats the NYSE bell (for now). My goal is bells on all the continents, which I consider a serious CEO priority.

RT @tbpn: Cloudflare CEO @eastdakota believes the next two years of AI cyberattacks will be terrifying but will ultimately make the internet more secure. "The next two years are going to be incredibly, incredibly, incredibly fraught with new tools that have infinite patience to go look for vulnerabilities across the Internet." "It's going to feel like the sky is falling. It's going to feel like there's nothing we can do." "There are going to be stories that characterize AI as the bad guy. AI is not the bad guy here, AI is the good guy." "AI didn't create these vulnerabilities, AI found them." "If you're living in a house with deadly monsters in every closet, but you don't know they're there, are you in a better place or a worse place than if you start going through the closets and finding the monsters and killing them?" "It's going to be a lot more frightening to go through and kill the monsters, but you're probably going to get a lot safer."

RT @tbpn: Palo Alto Networks CEO @nikesharora says he's more concerned about "trophy hunters" searching for the next security vulnerability than the PHP vulnerability itself. "I'm more concerned about what comes next. This is just one. There's more to come." "The problem is when you start seeing big things like this happen, you start finding people who are trophy hunters." "They're going to say, 'Where can I find the next PHP and prove to the world that I'm as smart as the last guy.'"

RT @tbpn: Happy Wednesday. On today's show: - @nikesharora (Palo Alto Networks) - @MaxJunestrand (Legora) - @aidanmantine (Flapping Airplanes) - @AkhilIyer1 (Watchtower Labs) See you on the stream.

Calm Down Markets, Trevor Milton Has A Plane to Sell You, Hugging Face Instadoc

RT @tbpn: BREAKING: Just 17 months after profiling TBPN, @abebrown716 has been promoted to features editor at The Information

RT @tbpn: .@WalterIsaacson says Steve Jobs would be appalled by agentic AI. "[Steve Jobs] says the goal is to connect human creativity to the processing power of our machines." "What we're doing now with agentic AI is where I worry." "When I start using agents that try to do things without me and to be out of my control, Steve Jobs would be appalled by that." "It doesn't connect human creativity to the product. It doesn't have the music that makes our hearts sing, as Steve said, with the iPod." "These people aren't stepping back and saying, 'Why are we making this?' The answer should be to help humanity." "That was Steve's lodestar."

RT @TheStalwart: At the Alexandria, Louisiana airport, they already have the Christmas tree up
