The person that @tim_cook should acquire to run AI at @Apple is @evanspiegel. Evan is the best consumer product thinker in the industry — especially with interfaces — and Snapchat has $700 mil ARR from Snapchat+ AI subscriptions (Services revenue). Evan runs AI & Vision Pro.

Evan Spiegel says Snap is restructuring around “startup squads” of 10 to 15 staff to better compete; Snapchat+ now brings in $700M+ in ARR from 15M+ subscribers

Snap is breaking itself apart and rebuilding from within.  In a new company letter, CEO Evan Spiegel just announced …

The @browsercompany just signed a merger agreement to be acquired. We will remain independent. Our focus is Dia. I've written and rewritten this post more times than I'd like to admit, but what I keep coming back to is simple: the work continues, and we're grateful for this [video]

The Browser Company launches Dia, a macOS browser in beta for Arc users based around an AI chat sidebar that can access tabs, history, and logged-in sites

Dia, the new browser from The Browser Company, is almost nothing like the company's last product.  That app, Arc, was a total rethink …

First, how it works: Every time you open a new tab, Dia's memory automatically takes notes for you. It's like Granola for browser tabs. (These notes are encrypted & stored locally. We don't take notes on sensitive pages like banking.) Here's how to turn it on in Dia: [image]

Keeping Tabs by The Browser Company

The Browser Company says it is pivoting away from its Arc browser to build AI-native browser Dia, citing Arc's complexity and limited mass-market appeal

Tension at Google I/O: Clearly freaked abt young people switching to ChatGPT, but Sundar can't buy Instagram like Zuck. Throwing everything at it. But don't hurt Search Ads! Gemini in Chrome? $20/mo + must manually flip on in Settings (designed for <1% usage). Tricky situ!

Google's I/O keynote was both scary and chill, a fever dream of sizzle reels selling how AI changes everything, even search, and can give users superpowers

At its annual developer conference, the company seeks to reassure everyone that AI is for everyday utility — but the great disruption to the web continues

Idk if these rumors are true but, if they are, even more reaosn that 2025 will need to be the year that AI *interfaces* help LLMs cross the chasm. Existing frontier models are already so powerful & underutilized. @cursor_ai is the only (truly) AI-native product I've seen. [image]

Thrive Capital & @JoshuaKushner had my back when... - I was starting a non-profit babysitting co-op - I wanted to become an investor, surprisingly - I decided to incubate @browsercompany - I realized I wanted to be CEO & leave Thrive - our bank collapsed, losing all of our cash

Wall Street Journal

Investor letter: Josh Kushner says Thrive Capital raised a $1B early-stage fund and a $4B late-stage fund, its largest-ever pair, after backing OpenAI in 2023

The fundraising reflects optimism over artificial intelligence despite the startup sector's broader struggles

Claude, Mistral, Gemini, etc. - feels like foundation models might commoditize (for now at least). If so, then value in AI will accrue to the interfaces. But which AI interfaces are people *actually* using? ChatGPT, Github Copilot, and...? This is big prize of 2024 imo.

Anthropic's pricing for Claude 3 Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku, which all have a 200K-token context window, ranges from “super expensive” to “radically competitive”

The Browser Company releases Arc Search, a new iOS app that takes a user's search query, browses the web, and builds a custom webpage to answer the query

A few minutes ago, I opened the new Arc Search app and typed, “What happened in the Chiefs game.”  That game, the AFC Championship, had just wrapped up.

third, we designed the most delightful, fluid way to quickly toggle between multiple webpages. easily flick your way around multiple product pages or restaurant reviews without thinking. [image]

when “Arc Anywhere” is finished, it will also — of course — sync all of your Spaces, Pinned Tabs, etc. to Arc Search as well. basically, we'll drop the “Search” word from this app name and turn it into a full-fledged “Arc” app on your iPhone (in the coming month or two). soon!
