As someone living in Bali, I’ve been watching a fascinating convergence unfold between Bali and Dubai’s future-facing ecosystems.
AI, Web3, technology, entrepreneurship, community-building — the parallels are growing stronger by the day.
The interaction between @tyinlife and @Rahim_mahtab feels less like coincidence and more like a natural alignment of trajectories.
The future is bright in this part of the World.
Theres a huge issue in crypto & emerging tech
its really tough to find high quality people amongst all the grifters, scammers & hackers.
Almost every telegram or discord you join is INFESTED with people trying to scam you.
We believe that the worlds best talent are STILL here to find, they just don't want to waste their time in low-signal groups where they have to turn off the ability for people to message them.
Nobody wants to be on high alert every time they meet some new name on the internet.
So, I've spent the last 6 years curating & filtering the best people i've met.
Each time we have grown our communities, we have also culled / removed 70-80% of them at each new milestone based on our trust & contribution scores.
If they are simply lurking & have never introduced themselves? - Gone
if they have sent unsolicited pitches into peoples DM's? - Gone
if they can't be verified as real people in the first place? - They never got in
if they never contribute to the growth of others? - gone
if they are ALWAYS asking for things but never giving? - gone
if they talk a lot but never ship? - gone
if they complain about the same things over and over but never make any changes? - gone
all it takes is 1 bad apple to spoil the bunch
its our job to be farmers with extreme attention to detail & pay close attention to what is happening. Remove the weeds, ensure the right water + light + nutrients are available for your growth
& the magic takes care of itself.
For founders in emerging tech? Perhaps, you're meant to be with us.
It’s over. Anthropic just banned OpenClaw.
Uncensored thoughts:
1. Massive mistake that will come back to bite them
2. Open source needs to win. If you have a local model running on your Mac mini, no corporation will ever be able to ban you
3. ChatGPT 5.4 is the best model. But it sucks compared to opus in OpenClaw. I will continue to pay for Anthropic api
4. I have no doubt the next OpenAI model will be optimized for Openclaw and be excellent
5. In 6 months the local models will be as good as opus 4.6 and all of this will be forgotten
6. It’s feels like from a consumer sentiment perspective things have flipped for OpenAI and Anthropic. They were the darlings when Opus 4.5 came out
7. Going to the Kanye concert right now please don’t spoil the stage or set list in the replies
8. The best openclaw set up is now Opus as the orchestrator, then much cheaper models as the execution layer. If you do this properly you won’t be paying much more than $200 a month. I’m using Gemma 4 and Qwen 3.5 for execution on my DGX Spark and Mac Studio
🚨BREAKING: ANTHROPIC CEO JUST ENDED OPENAI
@sama
After getting blacklisted by Pentagon, Dario sits down and writes the most unhinged CEO memo in silicon valley history:
>calls openai's pentagon deal "safety theater"
>says trump admin hates them because they haven't "given dictator-style praise to Trump (while Sam has)"
>names greg brockman's $25M trump super PAC donation by name says they supported AI regulation
>"which is against their agenda"
>says they "told the truth about AI policy issues like job displacement"
THE PALANTIR EXPOSÉ:
>reveals palantir's actual pitch to anthropic during negotiations
>"you have some unhappy employees, you need to offer them something that placates them or makes what is happening invisible to them, and that's the service we provide"
>palantir's pitch wasn't safety. it was CONCEALMENT
>palantir offered a "classifier" to detect red line violations
>dario: models get jailbroken, monitoring only works in a few cases "maybe 20% real and 80% safety theater"
>says palantir offered openai the same package
>openai accepted it
>says Altman is "peddling narratives" to his own employees
>calls openai employees "sort of a gullible bunch" due to "selection effects"
>says the "attempted spin/gaslighting" isn't working on
>the public or media but IS working on "some Twitter morons" rofl
>says his main concern is making sure it doesn't work on openai employees too
BTW near the end of negotiations the pentagon offered to accept ALL of anthropic's terms if they deleted ONE phrase:
>"analysis of bulk acquired data"
>anthropic refused
>same surveillance clause pentagon said they didn't even want to do
>meanwhile Altman told his employees: "you don't get to weigh in on that" 💀
ITS OVER.
ANTHROPIC WON, DEAL WITH IT
I am terminating my @OpenAI subscription TODAY.
Me and all my closer friends / team mates. #boicotOpenAI
I don't want to support #masssurveillance and #autonomouskilling
Here's how you switch from ChatGPT to @AnthropicAI without losing everything:
