both cursor and windsurf released models today heavily optimized for speed this is very different than the direction people have been pushing where they kick stuff off to codex for 45min but it's fast feedback loops are always what end up mattering

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
Follows a clear Hook → Context → Turn shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Context → Turn
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: punchy
Written for: People building with AI

Attorney General Pamela Bondi

At my direction, early this morning federal agents arrested Don Lemon, Trahern Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lydell Lundy, in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. More details soon.

For those confused why the US state and Silicon Valley are having a meltdown on twitter today. China released multiple AI models that are 50x more efficient than the best American AI models and made them open source, ruining the AI market

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

I am very excited about AI, but to go off-script for a minute: I built an app with Codex last week. It was very fun. Then I started asking it for ideas for new features and at least a couple of them were better than I was thinking of. I felt a little useless and it was sad.

Hi! I'm one of the prompt writers that worked on this ad. It's a lot harder than people think! Prompts that my team used include: -make it funny -make it epic AND funny -funnier!!! Please be nice to my team as many of them will be laid off/replaced by AI

It’s patently absurd that Apple isn’t smart enough to make their own AI, yet is somehow capable of ensuring that OpenAI will protect your security & privacy! Apple has no clue what’s actually going on once they hand your data over to OpenAI. They’re selling you down the river.

i was very much against this it's a thin standard where most of the relevant stuff will be in client specific extensions anyway and it should not be coming from a company that does not even make an agent end users use

on the upcoming deepseek price increase we've been able to reproduce their current prices even on rented GPUs so this likely isn't because they're "losing money" it's traffic shaping because they are overloaded

so this is a big milestone right now these companies are in a delicate balance - they own the end relationship with the customer and being disintermediated would be a bad thing but if there is a real paradigm shift happening then they're dead if they don't offer this

if you want to help beta test OpenCode 2.0 t.co - data in separate db which we might wipe - stuff will be broken - use /report to send us issues - v1 plugins won't work, v2 api not final there is a built in skill that you can ask for basically anything

i've never hyped a model release, we're generally conservative with how we use these things but gpt-5.6 has had a massive impact on our team, we're using 5x the tokens as we used to it's not even smarter than fable or anything, but it's just so reliable and fun to use

lately after a big change instead of reading the diff i ask the agent for a summary of what it did in each file anything weird sticks out immediately and 1-2 prompts later it's completely as i want it files + functions signatures i need to know, care less about function body
