Currently in the studio with the TikTok team discussing AI agents and what’s coming next. Great energy and some really interesting ideas on how agents can transform creative workflows.

The biggest takeaway here is that what AI does well (write scripts) is being ignored and could be a massive accelerator to people who didn’t know how to write them before. Instead, we’re building agentic workflows in a browser and in walled gardens (Amazon, ecommerce sites, etc.) where this won’t be successful.

Even Katie – who is ordinarily a phenomenal tech journalist – can’t help herself:

She writes: “This is exactly what Instagram has known for a while: Instagram is mainly a place for Reels and DMs, and the main action on there now is watching Reels and DMing them to your friends (which I certainly do!).”

That’s what it is because that’s how they’ve designed it. This isn’t a magical shift in user behavior. They’ve actively developed the product this way.

We are eating some of the best bingsoo I’ve ever had. After 15 minutes of debugging wifi. But…wow.

Tea got hacked yesterday and the legitimate criticism about their security issues aside, no private app should be handling age verification. Laws like the ones written in Texas would/will inevitably lead to this outcome every time.

It should be done on the app store level.

This reddit post is such a smart way to look at Claude or Cursor as a coding partner. Vibe coding is always going to mean you need to understand the logic of a language as well as its limitations.

Just showed this to Jon Chan and he’s hype.

Kudos to Vivaldi for keeping their product roadmap simple. I’m seeing far too many generative AI features that create slop and not enough utility or process acceleration.

This was an inevitable move from Kickstarter.
