Personal update: I’ve joined @ElevenLabs as a Deployment Strategist!
After 5 years at @ScaleVP, I’m jumping into the frontlines to take ElevenAgents from pilot to production. Reach out if you’re building in voice AI! (or looking for a new role - we’re hiring in SF :) )

ElevenAgents can now run a whole outbound campaign.
You give it the contacts you're cleared to call and the outcome you want, and it takes it from there - following up with each person over time or at the time they asked for and picking up where the last conversation left off.

after one month in a wheelchair and three months in a leg brace, i spent the summer in shenzhen building a better brace
for the first prototype, i attached motion sensors on a traditional brace then used gpt-5.6 sol to build a gait simulation with live angle tracking
the sensor setup
- two BMI270 IMUs on the thigh and calf to measure acceleration and rotation
- AS5048A magnetic encoder to measure brace hinge angle
- pressure-sensing insoles to measure foot contact and weight distribution
the goal was to make a better brace so i can run normally again soon hopefully
full video soon
Has auth gone too far? I just logged into Spotify through Facebook, which asked me to verify with Google SSO, then asked for a touch ID passkey.

When you go home for Thanksgiving and have to explain why you told your aunt to ape into the “AI trade”
There it is.
Over 60% of the S&P 500's components are now in bear market territory, down -20% or more from their record highs.
Four of the Magnificent 7 stocks are now in bear market territory, with these seven names erasing a combined -$4 trillion in market cap since their highs.
We are in a "stealth" bear market.
And, we believe it's a huge opportunity as we outlined below on October 15th.

My two takeaways:
1. This is why Anthropic didn't release Q3 numbers
2. Data like this is why Stripe acquired Openrouter
NEW Ramp data: Opus 5.5 has somewhat reaccelerated demand for Anthropic, but it might not be enough.
Spend on Anthropic models remains 1.6% below its July peak, according to Ramp data.
Opus 5.5 now accounts for 63% of Anthropic spend, so frontier models do matter. The idea that AI is already "good enough" is probably overrated as a concern IMO.
But price cuts / competition at all intelligence levels are still the most significant threats to AI model companies, and continue to form cracks in the AI thesis.

The SF rental market is so inefficient, if my gf and I moved into a 2b together, both our rents would go up vs having our own 1b’s.

I wonder if we’ll see large bi-partisan anti-AI pushback ahead of 2028. It seems like such an easy target for both parties to push back against the circularity and scapegoat the labor crisis.
👀news about the neocloud liquidity & credit crisis:
Nvidia in talks to invest many hundreds of millions of dollars in Firmus, which just pulled its IPO
