Today, we kill the AI agent and introduce the AI employee: Lindy Teammate.
It’s just like working with a real employee.
Everyone on your team can simply hit it up on Slack and get 10x more done.
Lindy also keeps learning, and becomes the self-updating brain of the whole tps://t.co/ZFgpZywQam

I keep telling you. These aren’t “liberals”, they’re not “democrats”…the new wave of psychos are all out communists. They are violent and self-destructive animals who want to burn down society
French communist admits why they are REALLY protesting…
“We are socialists, we are communists, we are anticapitalists,… the whole system must go!”

Sama says "I no longer think we're gonna be able to just patch all the bugs."
If accurate, this means 2 things:
1) The internet as we know it is over.
2) We very, very obviously need to stop AI advancement **before** the same becomes true of bio.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman: "I don't even know a dramatic enough word to use… models can find bugs that are outside of the normal threat model of what we think a hacker can do… hardware-level, insane stuff… I no longer think we're gonna be able to just patch all the bugs."

Humanity has only perhaps one or two more years left of living in vaguely normal circumstances
The most prescient AI forecasters I know:
* Carl Shulman
* Daniel Kokotajlo (What 2026 looks like, AI 2027)
* Leopold (Situational Awareness)
* Ryan Greenblatt (#2 in 2025 forecasting competition)
All seem to expect broadly beyond-human AI 2028-2029.

Consider that the people who were right about AI-enabled cyberattacks might be right about AI-enabled bioweapons
SITUATION DETECTED: CloudFlare CEO Matthew Prince says he is aware of additional severe vulnerabilities in other pieces of critical software, and said “I think we’re going to have a couple years where every single week it’s going to feel like the sky is falling,” per Reuters.

Lived in this building for 5y after arriving in SF in my early 20s. $700 / mo, not bad for a 1 bedroom (just have to share kitchen and bathrooms with old Chinese ladies). Stayed there well after I started earning mid 6 figures. Good for the soul.
A Microsoft AI scientist chose to live in a tiny room in San Francisco’s Chinatown for less than $1,000 a month.
@annakook gives us a rare look inside a single-room occupancy building, where residents have private rooms but share kitchens and bathrooms.

Can confirm -- most of my friends in Paris have already bought or are in the process of buying a weapon
Les Français ont commencé à s'équiper, les armuriers se font des c. en or. J'en connais qui ont eu la peur de leur vie quand ils ont entendu les émeutiers pénétrer dans leur immeuble et courir dans leurs couloirs. Il ne restait plus qu'une porte avant qu'ils pénètrent dans leur taient abrités avec femme et enfants. Ils avaient encore en tête les massacres du 7 octobre en Israël. Nous avons les mêmes prédateurs dans notre pays.

To make it through this alive and happy we have to dodge:
• Severe human misuse (esp bioweapons from states / terrorists)
• Severe human concentration of power (AI lab or gov)
• Rogue AI (including for decades after AIs clearly no longer need humans to survive)
• A US-China or other war prompted by AI disruption
• Severe economic disempowerment, or the world just generally being unpleasant and unfulfiling
Many difficult gates to pass through, none of which we've made massive progress on so far.
(On top of that to avoid a moral catastrophe we also have to make sure we never accidentally make our AIs into moral patients who are enslaved or suffering.)

ANTHROPIC's DEPUTY CHIEF INFORMATION SECURITY OFFICER: "as bad as things have gotten in the past 4 days, they are going to get a lot worse before they get better."
as bad as things have gotten in the past 4 days, they are going to get a lot worse before they get better. security leaders, never let a crisis go to waste: please go to your boards and ask for help right now. not for ai, for the basics. (we need to hold on for ~18 months.)

In January 2025 my mom’s lung cancer spread to her brain. The drug with the best chance of helping her was approved in China but not here.
A doctor told me, almost as an aside, that if she were Chinese she could buy it at a pharmacy.
So I flew to Shanghai and came home with 26 boxes in my luggage. That was 19 months ago. My mom is still here, still working, and in her words has had an amazing three years.
The drug was approved in China in 2023. The FDA approved it in July 2025. It still is not for sale here. I know of at least 30 Americans who have made the same trip.
I have been scared to tell this story because I worried it could cost my mom access to the medicine keeping her alive. But the problem matters more than my silence. These drugs need to be developed and available here, and that means FDA reform.
Art Allen at KFF Health News told our story this week. It also ran in The Washington Post.

I think Duet and Dots are the wrong form factor for the enterprise because they aren't AGI-pilled enough.
The major agent releases today (Grok Bot, Duet, Dots, Muse, Instinct) all act as an "AI Chief of Staff." This allows each employee to get their work done faster, but it ompany move faster. Executing is no longer the bottleneck, so even proactivity on individual tasks isn't necessarily a big win.
Models need to understand organizations and align with the overall mission to truly move the needle. They have demonstrated goal-directed strategic behavior in simulations: alignment.anthropic.com/2026/agentic-m…. The missing skill is aligning the models to the right goals. Until then, humans have to continue solving coordination.
Anecdotally, I've heard "in the high MTS circles" that a lot more time for frontier researchers is now spent on meetings for coordination since agents are doing most of the implementation and execution. The rest of the industry will soon face this bottleneck.
The AGI-pilled form factor is a model with autonomy that acts at the same level as other employees. A true collaborator rather than someone to manage.

Lindy has its own phone number!
Ways you can use it:
1/ call it on the drive home to update your CRM
2/ have it call customer support and wait on hold
3/ let it take calls on your behalf, and get the message in Slack or iMessage
Just ask Lindy to get started.

I've come to believe that it's a lack of self-reflection, not being conniving or manipulative, that makes someone a bad person.
Everyone engages in occasional behavior that is harmful. A "good person" takes that feedback to heart, takes responsibility for their actions, and tries to do better next time. A "bad person" pushes the thought away and refuses to reflect on their behavior.
Over time, doing that repeatedly - refusing to be morally accountable - is what makes someone a bad person. It doesn't mean they don't have the capacity for redemption, but it's impossible to collaborate with people who refuse to learn from iterated moral games.
