VIBE CODING is cool, but having to make it work with multiplayer and loading nice looking 3D assets is not!

This indie developer is making a brutal pixel art Metroidvania set in the heart of Mexico, where you make a deal with Lady Death for power, but in exchange, have to hunt down a man who defied her power and became immortal

This is Mariachi Legends and I can't wait!

I taught Claude to talk like a caveman to use 75% less tokens.

normal claude: ~180 tokens for a web search task

caveman claude: ~45 tokens for the same task

"I executed the web search tool" = 8 tokens
caveman version: "Tool work" = 2 tokens

every single grunt swap saves 6-10 tokens. across a FULL task that's 50-100 tokens saved

why does it work? caveman claude doesn't explain itself. it does its task first. gives the result. then stops.

no "I'd be happy to help you with that." no "Let me search the web for you" no more unnecessary filler words

"result. done. me stop."

50-75% burn reduction

with usage limits getting tighter every week this might be the most practical hack out there right now

Some physically driven animation for your Wednesday afternoon. After months of trying to get RL to look nice, I've switched over to good old procedural animation.

this story is absolutely insane 🤯

> tech guy with zero biology background.
> his dog got terminal cancer.
> vets said 1 - 6 months left.
> bro said nah not on my watch.
> asked ChatGPT for a treatment plan.
> sequenced tumor DNA for $3k.
> used AlphaFold AI to model mutated proteins.
> designed world’s first personalized mRNA vaccine for a dog.
> partnered with universities to synthesize it.
> ethics approval took 3 months.
> vaccine design took 2 months.
> first injection December 2025.
> tumors shrank 75% within weeks.
> dog happy.
> universities confirmed it worked.
> now designing version 2 for remaining tumor.

AI + a guy determined to save his dog just outperformed the pharma industry 💀

the cure for cancer will be open source.

imagine you’re Travis Kalanick

you built Uber from nothing into a $70 billion company and changed how every city on earth moves

then in the worst three weeks of your life, family tragedies hit, and five of your investors hand you a letter demanding you resign

so you step down

the board replaces you, your successor and board sell off the self driving division you created, the thing you believed was Uber’s entire future

gone

$4 billion to Aurora

the mainstream media tries to write your obituary: toxic culture, bad leadership, and a cautionary tale

silicon valley moves on
as they always do

but you don’t

you don’t really forget

you go quiet, completely quiet

you take $150 million and buy a ghost kitchen company called CloudKitchens

you raise over a billion dollars, hit a $15 billion valuation, build a company with thousands of employees

and nobody even knows the name
eight years in stealth, employees aren’t even allowed to put your company on their LinkedIn

then today you rename the company Atoms, and it’s not a kitchen company anymore

it’s a robotics company

1. food
2. mining
3. transport

your first move?

acquiring Pronto

the autonomous vehicle startup

built by Anthony Levandowski, the same engineer you originally swooped away from Google to build Uber’s self driving program

oh and he went on to deploy 100+ autonomous trucks for one of the largest materials companies on earth

now he’s coming back to work with you
and the reports say Uber itself

the same company that pushed you out, is now backing you to go after self driving harder than Waymo

the guy they removed is the guy they end up needing

poetic justice

your framework aka everything in civilization is mined or grown, manufactured and moved

you call it the golden age

your manifesto ends with three words:

“I never left”

eight years of silence

then this

but here’s what people keep getting wrong about your situation

everyone wants to call it a comeback or a revenge story

it’s neither

you just went quiet and built for eight years while everyone who wrote you off had stopped paying attention

that’s not revenge, that’s just what true builder obsession looks like

most founders would’ve stayed bitter

most would’ve written a book and done a podcast tour, most would’ve taken the $2.5 billion in shares and disappeared off to a beach or Epstein’s island

you didn’t do any of that
you just kept building

and now the same people who pushed you out need you again

so whether you love him or hate him

the most dangerous person in any room is the one who goes quiet yet never stops building

karma is real

welcome back Travis

Voice mode is rolling out now in Claude Code. It’s live for ~5% of users today, and will be ramping through the coming weeks.

You'll see a note on the welcome screen once you have access. /voice to toggle it on!

anthropic fucking killed it with this. so many people will start using claude.

new feature lets you import your *entire* memory from chatGPT, Gemini etc into Claude so it *instantly* knows everything about you. no more reminding claude who you are.

the best fucking part is it takes literally 60s:

- copy and paste the below prompt into your alternative AI (eg chatgpt)

- paste answer into claude’s “memory” settings and… you’re done.

- Claude immediately picks up from the last conversation you had with it in chatgpt!

the opportunity cost to switch to anthropic just went to zero - their app is currently #1 in the app store

Anthropic just announced it will take the Trump administration to court over the supply chain risk designation. And in the same breath, Axios revealed the detail that changes everything about this story.

While Anthropic was being blacklisted for refusing to allow mass surveillance, the Pentagon’s own “compromise deal” that Under Secretary Emil Michael was offering on the phone at the exact moment Hegseth posted the designation on X would have required Anthropic to allow the collection and analysis of Americans’ geolocation data, web browsing history, and personal financial information purchased from data brokers.

Read that again. The Pentagon spent two weeks saying it has no interest in mass surveillance of Americans. Then the deal they actually put on the table asked for access to your location, your browsing history, and your financial records.

They told us Anthropic was lying. The contract language told us Anthropic was right.

Now here is where this becomes an existential question for a $380 billion company.

The supply chain risk designation means every company that does business with the Pentagon must certify they do not use Claude. Eight of the ten largest companies in America use Claude. Defense contractors, cloud providers, consulting firms, banks. The blast radius is not the $200 million Pentagon contract. It is the enterprise ecosystem that generates $14 billion in annual revenue.

Anthropic’s legal argument is specific: under 10 USC 3252, the designation can only restrict use of Claude on Pentagon contract work. Your commercial API access, your https://t.co/koW5OJjjaM subscription, your enterprise license are, in Anthropic’s reading, completely unaffected.

But here is the problem. That is a legal argument. It will take years to resolve in court. And in the meantime, every general counsel at every Fortune 500 company with any Pentagon exposure is going to ask one question: is using Claude worth the risk?

The IPO, which was expected this year at a $380 billion valuation backed by $30 billion in fresh capital, is functionally frozen. No underwriter will price an offering while a company carries the same designation as Huawei.

And here is the final detail nobody has processed yet. Hours after blacklisting Anthropic, the Pentagon accepted OpenAI’s proposed safety framework, which contains the identical red lines: no mass surveillance, no autonomous lethal weapons.

They destroyed one company for a position they then accepted from its competitor.

Adding multiplayer to this game has been far more complicated than making the entire engine for single player. This is a project that spans 3+ years and dozens of developers and now it's finally time to let it out in the wild!
