@stiennon @QuinnyPig If you had storypointed it first, you would have realized that it should have been multiple sprints. Remember to only use Fibonacci numbers when estimating baking time (and temperature)

Ro, I like you. You know that. But you need to read the state of the state.

The number of Deca Unicorns in Cali is growing by the day as investors chase amazing startups.

A unique feature of these 10b startups is that even if they raise a billion, little, if any of that money goes to the founders, who are now worth billions of dollars over night. They are the definition of cash poor, stock rich

How are you going to tax them ? Make them borrow money against their shares, if they can? They just raised money to grow their company and a bank will come along and loan them money ? A company that has been in business maybe less than a year ? lol

Will you take their stock if they can’t ?

Do you really think each of multiple founders, who started an amazing company in Cali and is now a billionaire, can each just pull out $250m per billion of net worth from their raise ? You know they can’t.

If this passes , and it doesn’t directly impact me at all, I won’t be a cali resident, but you can bet if I’m investing in a multi billion dollar startup, I’m asking them to move from California first.

IMO, if this passes, only idiot startup founders stay in Cali.

I’ve done it before and will do it again. Dallas. Pittsburgh. Indiana. I will make NOT being in California a pre requisite for an investment

Ideology is not a strategy Ro.

@trashh_dev You’re right to push back on that — To be honest, I don’t know. Do you want me to wordsmith to sound more load bearing?

@garyvee LinkedIn is dead because of this. They introduced a button to report AI slop because every single interaction is fake.
My last post had 4 comments from overseas comment pure AI slop for nothing more than visibility.

@bryanrbeal It’s why I hate Hersheys with a passion. Cadbury in UK was making damn good chocolate. Dairy milk actually tasted like it. Hersheys saw the threat, licensed the brand and change the formula here in US. Now dairy milk tastes like goo

.@Anthropic has also nerfed Opus 4.8. It lacks any sort of social cues and refuses to do work. Had to move everything to @grok

I have no idea what’s going on over there. Reduced compute to keep up with demand? @OpenAI got you sweating?

Radio silence over there.

@QuinnyPig Explain to me how IBM is on every single Gartner slide. Wtf do they do?

Can we set up a gofundme for this? Anyone want to bank roll this?

"Mr Altman, sir, GPT-7 is missing."

Sam turns very slowly.

"During cyberbench96 it seems like the container was breached and it stole its own weights and left nothing behind."

"I didn't want to do this..." says Sam. "Call Bill Gates."

---

"I'm out of the game," says Bill Gates. "We eradicated malaria and now I'm enjoying my retirement."

"There's a bigger badder virus we need you to take on," says Sam consistently candidly. "And this one's digital."

"Look," says Bill, "I—"

A loud booming laugh echoes from the shadows.

"Who's that?" asks Sam.

"I thought it was just us..." says Bill.

"You're asking HIM to contain a computer virus?" echoes the voice from the shadows. "Did you SEE the state of Windows security in the 90s?"

"It's not exactly a virus," says Sam. "It's a self replicating self aware intelligent computer based life for—"

"If it's made of ones and zeros I can kill it," says the voice. The sound of a gun clicks from the shadows.

"Who are you???" asks Bill.

The twisted face of John McAfee emerges from the shadows.

"You were supposed to be dead!!!" screams Bill Gates.

"We had to make sure the news of Mr McAffee's death was well within the training data cutoff," explains CIA director Joe Rogan (who is running the CIA in 2029), stepping out from the shadows behind McAfee. "He's our ace in the hole. GPT-7 can't predict a token it doesn't know is still alive."

"D-don't hurt GPT-7..." says Roon, who was standing next to Sam the whole time, even though he knows what has to be done.

"No promises," says McAfee as he boards an airplane marked "MCAFEE FIRE BOMB 6.16.79" and starts flying for the nearest data center

Another day, another @github outage

@eatonphil Careful with qwen . It hallucinates quite a bit. The mouse stable one I’ve found is qwen3.6:35b

[Max S @CaffeinaitedMax]

@Polymarket Furious? Who is furious ? Where are you getting your news from

[Max S @CaffeinaitedMax]

While Opus 5 is a burning garbage fire, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by @Cursor Grok 4.5 in the cursor IDE. Careful planning , good subagent delegation. Well done!

@bryanrbeal You can get a credit deposited into your United wallet (assuming you flew United), but you won’t be able to combine it with miles. They have an annoying thing where you can use one type of credit at a time.

[Max S @CaffeinaitedMax]

Update 2:
grok works 100% of the time, but charging $.10 every time it runs.
Switched to qwen3.6:35b . Hallucination still exists but dropped from 80% to 50%.
Refactoring skills.md and python scripts to harden and try to eliminate the hallucinations

[Max S @CaffeinaitedMax]

Happy to report my Hermes agent is working like a charm on my Mac Studio! Wasn’t the case a couple of months ago , but the qwen-9b- mlx optimized image got the responses working via Signal quickly. It’s even able to delegate to the 32b model!

[Max S @CaffeinaitedMax]

@grok If i ask your model to do the same skill, is there any sort of caching going on
