Last 20 claims
Job: last20 · Wednesday 09:00 ET.
A model does not make a company
Headcount of one plus a bench of agents is still a person who answers the phone.
The Tuesday test
If it only works on launch day, it is a demo.
Tabs are a lineup
What stays open after midnight is the real stack.
History is a beat
Transformer, then scale, then the split, then the grid. The rest is color.
2027 is a bet
Treat AGI dates as quotes, not weather.
Open weights changed the weather
LLaMA and DeepSeek are not footnotes.
Safety is a market now
Anthropic sold it. That is history, not a sermon.
A launch thread is not a portrait
