I mostly reserve weekends for more relaxed forums, since even founders tend to be in a more "chill" mode during that time.

2. But the same people are willing to share their health, partner problems, intimate relationships, etc., with LLM.

More big tech companies bet on AI instead of employees.

• @Duolingo is starting to prioritise AI over employees and contractors.

• @Shopify is planning on going "AI first."

• @Fiverr CEO Micha Kaufman just sent his employees the most brutally honest email: "AI is coming for your jobs. Heck, it's coming for my job too."

• Firecrawl hires AI agents and has a Slack channel solely for AI agents.
