Sydney
Earlier today I had a baby in one hand and a schooner in the other. Felt like I could rule the world.

Thank you David Shoebridge and the Greens!!!
Valve has changed how to verify your age for Australian Steam users. Instead of requiring a credit card, there is a new option now: - Automatic Age Verification: "your account age verified if it is at least nine years old and has had a consistent email address or billing info."

I told my Dot to "handle everything for our new office move" and after several days of it still not finalized I realized he had been spamming everyone with every minor update and 100s of questions trying to figure out movers insurance

people are like “why do LLMs always think they’re in an eval lol” and then have bad dreams about forgetting to turn in a homework assignment 10 years ago

In the wee hours of this morning Sydney time we launched Lorikeet Dreamweaver. The reception has been awesome. Here's why we chose the name. From the start, Jamie and I have been obsessed with how AI can unlock a completely new, different, and better type of customer experience. Yes, being able to scale traditional inbound support is important. And helping companies do so has been our bread and butter. But we've always believed this technology is not a faster horse, but instead a vehicle for transformation. Part of what gave me this conviction is that we *already* know how to create incredible experiences for customers - you see it all the time in enterprise B2B and luxury consumer. The problem was being able to provide them cost effectively at scale. We called this product Lorikeet Dreamweaver after one of the best examples of this in reality: the restaurant Eleven Madison Park. In the period where EMP was the #1 restaurant in the world they employed people -- called Dreamweavers -- whose job was to deeply know their diners in order to craft bespoke experiences to delight them and create lasting memories [0]. We felt this described perfectly what we wanted to enable Lorikeet's customers to do for their customers. Giving every end customer an AI account manager enables this. The right message, the right help, the right advice at the right time. It delivers higher customer lifetime value, yes, but it does it by betting on the economic power of delighted customers. What's more, by leveraging Coach (our AI Forward Deployed Engineer) we were able to make Dreamweaver a fully self-serve product that any business can try. We're so excited to see what everyone will do with it.

my side project is raising a child
From a startup founder: “it’s now a red flag for me if I don’t see side projects on someone’s resume / application, because it signals lack of autonomy. Because it’s now so trivial to build anything on the side, vs before.”

One of the interesting things you can see is frontier labs now talking about cost per task because charging per token just opens the door to cheap open models - will be interesting to see how per task charging happens but believe me they’ll try it

Some dude in California running a 3-person company got voters to give him $4.2 billion by authoring a ballot measure, which passed
Something feels a bit iffy about California prop 38. Doing a popular vote proposed by a 3 person non-profit that gives said non profit $4.2B from the public! I hope Gary is great and knows how to spend $4.2B well because it’s done.
