Amjad Masad (@amasad) — Tue, 08 Sep 2026 05:35:44 GMT

Honored to have the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, help us open Replit’s first international office in London!

I’ve really appreciated the Mayor’s approach to AI, it feels very similar to ours. He calls himself an AI realist: clear-eyed about the disruption AI will create, but optimistic about the impact if we give people the tools and skills to participate in the coming revolution.

That’s exactly how we think about it at Replit. AI is going to transform work, so we have to make sure far more people can use it to create, build businesses, and access new opportunities.

It’s also why, as we establish ourselves here, we’re partnering with The Lord Mayor’s Appeal to help young Londoners from disadvantaged communities develop practical coding and AI skills.

London has the history, the talent, and the right leadership & philosophy for the AI era. We’re excited to be here.

Ken Thompson’s “Reflections on Trusting Trust” feels super relevant to AI.

He bootstrapped a “poisoned” compiler that left no traces of the poison in the source code because it compiled itself.

You can imagine the same thing happening with models where one poisoned generation helps train the next while removing any traces of the poison.

Marvin Minsky wrote about this in The Emotion Machine. Emotions are a core part of human intelligence, not some epiphenomenal side effect of human evolution (which presumably many AI folks believe it is).

Minsky describes a selector of sorts for different thinking strategies.

Dany@danysvnt

OPENAI COFOUNDER SAYS EMOTIONS MAY BE WHY WE CAN MAKE DECISIONS

ilya brings up a guy who lost emotional processing after brain damage. he could still talk normally and solve problems, but somehow became terrible at making basic decisions

"It would take him hours to decide on which socks to wear."

we spend so much time treating emotions like the annoying part of thinking. calm down, remove the feelings, be logical

then you remove them completely and even choosing socks becomes a serious problem

kinda changes how i look at AI advice too. it can give you 20 perfectly reasonable answers in seconds, but somebody still has to care which outcome actually matters

you can understand every option and still not know which one matters to you

True. Replit Agent completely replaced Claude CoWork in my day-to-day work. It's much more persistent and fastidious, and it uses code/software more effectively to complete tasks.

Nadia I@NIftek

Founders, I highly recommend using @Replit Agent as your cheapest, fastest and most intelligent employee before you hire for admin tasks. 

For $5.23, Agent just did 23 pages of paperwork for me, accurately, in 12 minutes (in Max mode). It asked me questions and caught things I wouldn't have caught. 

Agent in Max: 12 minutes, $5.28
Human: ~3–7 hours, Approx. $75–$350+

That makes Agent roughly 15–35× faster and 14–66× cheaper (before accounting for hiring, onboarding or management.)

Most of the creator economy has been built around reaching people everywhere. Local businesses need something different: creators who live nearby, posting about places their viewers can actually walk into.

Today we’re launching @TryNearbyCom as part of @ycombinator S26, live with 120+ paying restaurants across Southern California.

We have spent the last 10 months doing restaurant visits with creators and sitting with hundreds of owners, learning what they actually need. That work grew us over 130% since the batch started with over 90% retention since November.

Excited to continue to make local businesses discoverable online, and to turn millions of locals into creators for the businesses around them.

It’s not enough to scan your code for vulnerabilities; it’s important to try to break them with pen testing.

The argument that “AI structurally centralizes power” because it’s currently compute hungry ignores 125 years of super exponential growth in compute price-performance. 

Improvement in algorithms and continued hardware efficiency gains     means there is no reason to assume AGI-level capabilities will always require a data center to run.

Scaling laws are not laws of physics. They’re simply empirical relationships observed for particular architectures, objectives, datasets etc. Change any one of those factors and you get a different scaling curve. 

If the brain is any guide, true AGI will likely be very efficient. In fact, current scaling laws might a bug and not a feature. It shows how inefficiency of the ML algorithms we discovered so far.

Even if you don’t plan on publishing to the App Store, building personal apps via TestFlight is really great.

in case anyone is curious, remoko.app took less than ~50 hours from the first prompt on @replit to sharing the testflight on X
