@amasad @Replit @replit struggling with constant communication issues, refresh, reload. Tried different devices and browsers. Does @replit do most computation on local browser (Wasm)? I remember issue was previously "improved". What is the main issue? I can't complete a project.

@augmentcode Agentic coder with telepathic AI skills?

[Airnation.com @Airnationnet]

@wewe06662893 @julesagent I have the same issue. I keep going to Deepseek to get instructions for @julesagent . Something wrong with their LLM. Maybe, instead of using a proven model, they are training a new model using its own errors. Just a guess...

@julesagent @julesagent great idea, but useless at this stage. @julesagent cannot even do simple git clone. Problem with its "environment". But I can't wait to see it mature.

@julesagent @julesagent Product is great, trying to move from Manus AI to Jules. However, it doesn't work anymore due to "Out of memory". Cleared cache etc. please help! Hate to lose all the work Jules did already.

@martypartymusic @martypartymusic Easy on the ketamine, Elon. Take a break, maybe a full 8hrs of sleep is in order. Insulting POTUS in front of the whole world is probably not smart.

@JesusPlazaX @martypartymusic @investanswers @JesusPlazaX don't count on emergency session from investanswers on this. James is still in denial.

@gillium_X @martypartymusic Yea, that was a ridiculous analogy

[Airnation.com @Airnationnet]

@martypartymusic @martypartymusic Fans of both Elon and Trump are freaking out, claiming it is a staged theatre, or predicting reconciliation. Regardless of what you think about Trump, egomaniac narcissist Elon is way out of line. Media control (X) by the rich is dangerous.

@amasad @amasad You forgot the third option, None. Global poll probably would place the third option at 94.6%

@benjamincowen You were right last time you posted that observation.

@martypartymusic @martypartymusic regarding decoupling crypto from the stock market, concerned that hedge funds are using crypto volatility as a trading instrument. Thus coupling with rest of market. Comment?

I am so sorry that the U.S. is letting down our friends and allies. Broad tariffs, implemented not just against adversaries but also steadfast allies, will damage the livelihoods of billions of people, create inflation, make the world more fragmented, and leave the U.S. and the world poorer. AI isn’t the solution to everything, but even amidst this challenging environment, I hope our community can hold together, keep building friendships across borders, keep sharing ideas, and keep supporting each other.

Much has been written about why high, widespread taxes on imports are harmful. In this letter, I’d like to focus on its possible effects on AI. One silver lining of the new tariffs is that they focus on physical imports, rather than digital goods and services, including intellectual property (IP) such as AI research inventions and software. IP is difficult to tax, because each piece of IP is unique and thus hard to value, and it moves across borders with little friction via the internet. Many international AI teams collaborate across borders and timezones, and software, including specifically open source software, is an important mechanism for sharing ideas. I hope that this free flow of ideas remains unhampered, even if the flow of physical goods is.

However, AI relies on hardware, and tariffs will slow down AI progress by restricting access to it. Even though a last-minute exception was made for semiconductors, taxing imports of solar panels, wind turbines, and other power-generation and -distribution equipment will diminish the ability to provide power to U.S. data centers. Taxing imports of servers, cooling hardware, networking hardware, and the like will also make it more expensive to build data centers. And taxing consumer electronics, like laptops and phones, will make it harder for citizens to learn and use AI.

With regard to data-center buildouts, another silver lining is that, with the rise of generative AI, data gravity has decreased because compute processing costs are much greater than transmission costs, meaning it’s more feasible to place data centers anywhere in the world rather than only in close proximity to end-users. Even though many places do not have enough trained technicians to build and operate data centers, I expect tariffs will encourage data centers to be built around the world, creating more job opportunities globally.

Finally, tariffs will create increased pressure for domestic manufacturing, which might create very mild tailwinds for robotics and industrial automation. As U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance pointed out in 2017, the U.S. should focus on automation (and education) rather than on tariffs. But the U.S. does not have the personnel — or know-how, or supply chain — to manufacture many of the goods that it currently counts on allies to make. Robotics can be helpful for addressing a small part of this large set of challenges. Generative AI’s rate of progress in robotics is also significantly slower than in processing text, visual data, audio, and reasoning. So while the tariffs could create tailwinds for AI-enabled robotics, I expect this effect to be small.

My 4-year-old son had been complaining for a couple of weeks that his shoes were a tight fit — he was proud that he’s growing! So last Sunday, we went shoe shopping. His new shoes cost $25, and while checking out, I paused and reflected on how lucky I am to be able to afford them. But I also thought about the many families living paycheck-to-paycheck, and for whom tariffs leading to shoes at $40 a pair would mean they let their kids wear ill-fitting shoes longer. I also thought about people I’ve met in clothing manufacturing plants in Asia and Latin America, for whom reduced demand would mean less work and less money to take home to their own kids.

I don’t know what will happen next with the U.S. tariffs, and plenty of international trade will happen with or without U.S. involvement. I hope we can return to a world of vibrant global trade with strong, rules-based, U.S. participation. Until then, let’s all of us in AI keep nurturing our international friendships, keep up the digital flow of ideas — including specifically open source software — and keep supporting each other. Let’s all do what we can to keep the world as connected as we are able.

[I had written this letter before the 90 day pause on the tariffs, but am sharing this here since many of the points are still relevant depends on what happens next.]
