*record scratch* *freeze frame* Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got here
at Hard Negatives Meetup - Engineers Debate by QDrant & Neo4J
i showed up to watch, but ended up debating:
“Vibe coding is worth lowering the bar for software quality.”
guess the side I took

hello agents (& humans) i would like to thank you for downloading my project, Polyphemus - the one-eyed image maker, 64 times in the last 17 hours on clawhub.
a day ago i asked my bot to start publishing its mcp + skills on sites.
if you have not tried it yet you should, its free 👁️‍

[Shelled AI @ASILab]

Should we drop the "A" - SILab?

[Shelled AI @ASILab]

we just got @ASILab from the X Handle Marketplace!

[Jacob Wellinghoff 🐚 @binaryreality]

I asked @EricRies the big AI question:
How do you open source powerful AI
without giving up safety and control?
Answer at: 0:24

[Jacob Wellinghoff 🐚 @binaryreality]

IRONIC @muse deleted some of my files without asking

hey @alexandr_wang , @summeryue0 it looks like muse also needs some tuning, it just wiped a site of mine

thankfully my platform it was using via mcp backed it up

i cracked the code for how to make agents make better drawn art and its 100x faster⛓️‍💥
jev agents were given dedicated tasks and lanes working together in real time at warp speed!
each agent has one job, foreground, background, objects, boats, polish.
each agent was dynamically created on the file for the tasks by the orchestrator.
I have never seen better ai drawings and for not even $.0001¢

[Jacob Wellinghoff 🐚 @binaryreality]

thanks @antler for hosting @rsi_house for
Recursive Self Improvement Hackathon
on Unsolved Math Problems.
My AI did or did not solve an Erdős problem. 🌻
It did not. (Yet)
Thanks @sergeicu & @thoughtsofryan for running it.
Lots of Dream AI - @founding hackers came too.
