AI agents can prototype apps… But shipping real software takes hours of testing, debugging, and refactoring.
Agent 3 is 10× more autonomous — it keeps going where others get stuck.
The “Full Self-Driving” moment of software.

An underdiscussed reason for last night's election result is how much genuinely bad governance in deep blue cities & states undermined the Democratic Party on a national level. Each time someone had to ask the Walgreen's clerk to unlock the deodorant was a Republican campaign ad.
Initial results show Nathan Hochman leading George Gascón in Los Angeles County D.A. race. abc7.la/4fbdWBJ

replit agent launch: behind the scenes
to ship great products you need great people. our AI team has been on the grind for quite literally months
i joined them for a late night before the launch, but the "agent war room" was configured for at least a few weeks before that (and was starting to smell a bit, quite frankly)
in any high-stress environment, emotions can run hot. props to these guys for keeping cool under the pressure and turning out some amazing work

We’ll use the funds to expand our cloud services and build our lead in AI for software creation.

This might be the best thing the New York Times opinion page has ever run.
“Seriously I can just come out and say it? Call him a liar?” asks @JonathanPieNews, a fictional broadcast reporter created and performed by comedian Tom Walker, in a satirical video about Britain’s Prime Minister.

I’m seeing a lot of “these people are over-estimating risk” chatter that doesn’t acknowledge that the probability you die if you get covid is always less than the probability *anyone* dies if you get covid.
It’s not “over-estimation” to consider community impacts.
