testing mirrors in project genie, they definitely don't work correctly, but the results are funny

I feel like once people get past the performative gm moltbook era, usage will collapse unless the network solves a real problem for agents... quality, findable, content about problem solving is what will sustain this thing.

How do you make community notes not just be dull attempts to priority-boost posts?

So far today I've had four calls from someone saying they're from "voice search" offering to "add new service". Fictitious phone numbers. They hang up when asked what company they're calling from. No way to track who it is. FCC watches as voice self-destructs.

I start with do_f() { ...f including boilerplate } Then I tell Codex, you know there's another variant of all this stuff that's actually g Now, a lazy coder might do this: if (itsActuallyG()) do_g(); // including boilerplate else do_f(); // including boilerplate

Half the time it's like this: You take your car into the shop because the window won't roll down, and you pick it up a day later and you have a $10k bill for a new engine. You incredulously ask the tech why? The tech tells you that engine vibrations were causing the problem.

Learned on veritasium that artificial ice was maligned as inferior to "natural ice" upon introduction. Seems relevant to natural vs. synthetic diamond propaganda.

Rick I'm scared too. Not because I'm certain bad things are going to happen, but simply because I have no idea what's going to happen.

At this stage, if you can trade one second on the human clock for 10 seconds on the agent clock, that's a trade you should make. Even at 100:1 or 1000:1 it may make sense.

If you think only humans get FOMO, try closing a door around a dog.

For a while I've seen Elon commenting that the only real energy is the sun (paraphrase). This didn't make sense to me until this week: he's making the leap to consuming way more power than will be available on earth, and he's assuming that most energy will power intelligence.

People of the future will look at the way we brought AI into the world as some sort of doomsday cult. Talking about it, worrying about it, and applying the rest of our energy to accelerating it. They'll say we hypnotized ourselves, and they'll be right.

This year the vibe-coding set will end up with sprawling disorganized codebases impossible to reason about in a context window, and their agents will end up crawling around in circles. Well-organized codebases will thrive with agents. This is why you see so many green field

Right now I kind of envy people who work on software so simple that AI can oneshot it.

When you think about it, the implications of Survival of the Fittest are pretty bleak. Nature is pretty bleak. It does its work through killing. It's a little odd to worship such a thing.

Right about now is the time that people are going to start missing coding by hand. vimeo.com/138791666

Free movie plot idea. A guy is pasting stuff into his chatbot and then pastes something into the wrong conversation thread that makes it sounds like say he's a pedo or terrorist or something, then the police get alerted etc. Kinda like running man but chatbots.

I had Codex implement a conservative (outer fit) Three.js curve approximation. This is useful for simplifying nesting for CNC. It took a few iterations but it's solid. Works with vertex budget and guarantees preservation of linear segments etc.
