#Mac folks! If you're still using spotlight, you 100% must try the free alternative @raycast.com. It's so much better (literally in every way) than spotlight, I couldn't list all the features here. Try it free → raycast.com?via=toms-tools You can learn more here → tom-panos.com/toms-blog/gi...

"Will #AI replace me?" is the wrong question. The right one: "Will someone using AI replace me?" The threat isn't the tech, it's the colleague producing 3x output while you're still figuring out the login. New post on what actually works 👇 tomstools1.substack.com/p/were-having-the-wrong-ai-debate

Well of course #Anthropic had to join the party and just dropped #Claude Opus 4.5. In early testing, hands down the best coding model I've used to date. It's tool calling far surpasses #ChatGPT and #Gemini. It's also much better at conserving context and not blowing out the context window. #AI

#Gemini CLI is incredibly good, but I still find #ClaudeCode to be more effective in the terminal and as a VS Code/Cursor extension. I tested the same prompts on both and Claude outperformed Gemini most times. It's better at tool calling and the Claude skills feature is super useful. #AI #Claude

Why is it that every time a new #AI model launches from one of the big players, it’s instantly “The most powerful model ever.“ Gemini 3 by #Google does seem to be quite impressive, but most comments I saw were a few mins after launch… At least give the impression that you’ve done some testing lol

The #FBI director, Kash Patel, is what I call an "under the bus guy." In negotiation it's helpful to have this guy, who you can throw under the bus if shit goes off the rails. Generally, the guy knows he's potentially under the bus. Kash has no idea, but he's that guy for sure. He's gone soon.

It's very scary just how many people think that LLMs are no different than any other software/app. 1. They aren't "programmed," they are trained. 2. Fact: We don't understand the emergent behavior of LLM's 3. "Human" sourced data is nearly gone. Future llms are trained on synthetic data.

This #OpenAI deal is one of the most insane things I've ever seen. They're projected to lose something like $10b this year, and these contracts + the #AMD investment total close to or over a trillion. I'm horrible at math, but how does that make sense?
