Today, Uber is a $140B company with more than 6 million drivers. But in the early days, we had to overcome the same chicken and egg problem many startups face: Without drivers ➡️ riders couldn’t get a car And without riders ➡️drivers couldn’t make $ Here’s how we solved it:

@tryattention is quietly crushing it amongst generational scaling leaders like Anthropic, Profound, and Snowflake. ps. Best gift to my mom for Mother’s Day 🙃
This graph of the top 69 software products by growth vs adoption is the best snapshot of the current winners and losers in tech. — Scaling leaders (Anthropic) — Incumbents at Risk (OpenAI) — Rising Challengers (Granola) — Long tail (11x) Spend data from Ramp, up to Mar 2026.

Hey @twilio, We've been trying to get our A2P registration approved, but keep getting rejected despite submitting all of the required docs. We're trying to become a customer. Is there someone who can DM us to help get this sorted out?

I've followed tech for 25 years and I've never felt a larger gap between the ~1 million people using Codex/Claude and the rest of humanity.

Hey @twilio your trust hub has auto rejected us 3 times despite submitting all requested docs. We're a legitimate company trying to become a customer and can't get through to a human. Can someone please DM us to help sort this out?

today Meta introduced Segment Anything 3, and we're partnering with the @AIatMeta team to make Roboflow the best place to build with it SAM 3 is a breakthrough for visual AI. Say what you want to see in an image/video ("green umbrella," "check engine light," "circuit breaker"), and get a pixel-perfect mask of that thing with tracking SAM 3 is a stepwise change to: - Automate away labeling - Provide a zero shot, infinitely scalable model endpoint - Build a custom model for any object in <5min - Detect, count, and track anything in a video
