A tech event worth attending for sure. Thank you @cursor_ai
@clairevo fully agree on the talk. but we need a follow on talk on manifesting novel ideas. for important work I tend to "read.write.think" before I chat with an LLM. I tell my team constantly we need to work on having something to bring to the discussion with the agent. Reading is my way of collection fragments/shards of ideas and communing with the great minds. Writing is my way of wrestling with those ideas and giving them purchase in my mind. Think is my way of extrapolating from conclusions to form futures based on my perspectives and values. how do you "manifest novel ideas"?
@dwarkesh_sp apparently you're "a man taking a selfie with Jon Bell" according to our intern's ChatGPT. Thanks for stopping me on your way out of the event for a pic. Absolute legend!
@FreyaWPetersen @cursor_ai @mntruell Congrats again! Exciting time and important mission
specs are half "intent engineering" (thanks @jonbell) and half archeology specs should never state an archeological fact without you being able to instantly reference the source working with the incredible @AdamMocarski on making this idea beautiful and useful today
if software is spec, what if we got AI to make specs that weren't slop? working on this (very inspired by the beauty of makingsoftware.com by @DanHollick)
@bindureddy @grok how does this compare to GPT 5.5 and GPT 5.4 mini?

david showed me a demo of @obvious agents a few months back, and it was the first time i saw enough of the stack coming together that a normie startup could continuously and safely delegate complex, multi-hour engineering (and non-engineering) tasks to a non-human.
tomorrow we kick off the 3rd cohort of startups we've invited to use Autobuild, the internal tool driving the insane autonomous build velocity at @obvious (nearing 1000 PRs a day from 10 engineers) each co is shipping 12 weeks of roadmap this is the frontier, build accordingly
@obvious now has galleries for better visual organization.
😊 One of the things I love about building in this moment is rediscovering and relearning the primitives/foundations across so many disciplines: - Computer Science - Psychology - Human Computer Interactions - Philosophy - Aesthetics & Ergonomics - Writing, Language, and Literature - etc What a wonderful time to build and learn.
AI making an impact in the real world. That’s the goal we build towards at @obvious
@karrisaarinen We’re both language machines. The affordances we’ve used to organize ourselves should work to organize human<>agent collaboration.
@rauchg Remarkable. Welcome to the club. Our stack is 👦🏽👦🏽👦🏽👦🏽👧🏽👶🏽
