Just saw reports that SpaceX acquired Cursor in an all-stock deal valued at $60 billion.

This is one of the most insane startup outcomes we've ever seen:

• Cursor was founded only ~4 years ago.

• The reported price tag would make it one of the largest startup acquisitions in history.

• It went from "just a VS Code wrapper" jokes to becoming the default AI coding tool for a huge number of developers.

• SpaceX/xAI would instantly gain access to one of the most valuable datasets in AI: how millions of developers actually write, edit, debug, and ship code.

Honestly, I sometimes feel a bit of internal pressure or even fear that if I miss something, it will be hard to get back into work, especially because I m strongly embedded in tech.

And you can see it when you disconnect for 2 or 3 days and don t follow the news, you feel mentally better, but at the same time you start losing that sense of overview that feels quite important for your career.

For GenAI, we can tolerate some level of probabilistic behavior because there's usually a human in the loop and an opportunity to correct mistakes. But when AI is taking actions autonomously through agents, even a 0.1% error rate can create significant friction. How are you solving this reliability problem in your workflows?
