Jobs called computers "bicycles for the mind" -- tools we could shape to our will.
But they never were. Until now.
Every morning an agent preps me for my day -- calendar, news, last 24hrs of Slack -- in a personal podcast. I made it by asking. Same for hundreds of other things.
Launching @dreamer in beta today.
That 🧠 bicycle, finally.

Proud to announce Sphere's fundraise on @tbpn today.
Our most recent financing round of $12M was led by @ACME and co-led by @Ventures_Future, bringing our total raised to $20m.
We ship highly performant chips that are entirely designed by AI.
Join us today. We're hiring.

Fully agree with @patrickc and @mntruell here (32:40) — even the best LLMs end up writing flat, generic prose. We're building @falconer_ai to be the best AI writing tool. Here's a demo of Falconer capturing and writing in Patrick's voice in under a minute:
A conversation with @patrickc on old programming languages, software at industrial scale, and AI's effect on economics/biology/Patrick's daily life.
00:15 - Why Patrick wrote his first startup in Smalltalk
03:35 - LISP chatbots
06:09 - Good ideas from esoteric programming languages
09:12 - Brett Victor and Dynamicland
16:37 - Programming human organizations
20:28 - A codebase's "Big Bang" moment and MongoDB

Crazy how when you actually arrest and prosecute criminals, crime just goes down.
In the first quarter of 2025, property crimes in San Francisco dropped 45%. You're not crazy, things really are getting better!

if you’re trying to smush agents and payments together, email me [email protected]. 🤖💳
(emerging patterns are forming and @stripe is ready to support your fancy ai bots.)

I think maybe part of the issue is that they're shutting down a major chunk of the economy at a high price to people who make less money than they do, in a bid to make ports less productive so that things will cost more even after the strike is settled.

When you face what appears to be an irreconcilable trade-off apply this test: Does making the upside of A greater make the downside pull against B worse and vice-versa? If so it may be an irreconcilable trade-off.

It has been inspiring to work with the Stripe Apps team— true user focused craftspeople, and the fruit of their labors is 😍. Stripe Apps let developers extend and augment the Stripe Dashboard as a platform to accelerate their businesses. Check it out!
Today we are launching the public beta of Stripe Apps, a new way for developers to extend @stripe and build on top of our platform.
Some background on why we built Stripe Apps, what our platform enables you to build, and where we are headed.

Stripe just released convenience store (konbini) payments here today. Your customers can now pay for online purchases at more than 34,000 stores across Japan.

I'm excited about this for a few reasons:
Noah Pepper retweeted
We just wrapped our 3rd round of purchases in 18 months at Stripe Climate – welcome Sustaera, 44.01, Ebb and Eion! We are the first ever customer for 3 of 4. This time we expanded our board of technical experts to meet the growing diversity of approaches. 🧵
Excited to announce @stripe's next round of carbon removal purchases! We’re committing $6M in purchases, R&D grants and renewals to 4 boundary-pushing companies and thrilled to have them join the Stripe Climate portfolio:

New science institute just dropped 🚨
✅ Generous funding for principal investigators
✅ Scientists determine their own work
✅ Shared platform services for lab work
❌ Red tape and grant-writing overhead
I've long been interested in new ways to organize science and enable curiosity-driven discovery. Today, in partnership with @Stanford, @UCBerkeley, and @UCSF, we're excited to announce Arc Institute, a new undertaking in this vein: arcinstitute.org.

I am really really proud that Twitter decided to use Stripe Billing and the Customer Portal to power their Twitter Blue subscriptions. I spent 5.5 years working at Twitter to help improve the product and it makes me happy that I can in some small way continue to do so at Stripe!
Noah Pepper retweeted
"But since Stripe started paying for carbon removal two years ago, it has stood out for its willingness to pay for unproven technology, people working in the field say. It was the first customer for seven of the projects it backed."
