You can’t put the genie back in the box. It doesn’t work with nuclear weapon non-proliferation and it won’t work with banning AI models. It’s a valiant effort to try to keep them out of non-US hands, but realistically an impossible task. https://t.co/C0zRiAYMj8

@Bitcoin_Teddy These jobs will be the last to go, that’s all

@starmexxx Qwen can’t replace Opus 4.8 - frontier models are ahead in what matters to software development

Loop engineering a new fad? The single most important truth that most people get backwards: a loop’s value is bounded entirely by the quality of its verifier, not by the model’s iteration. The reason loops outperform one-shot prompting is the asymmetry between generating a correct solution and recognizing one.

@itsolelehmann When billionaires start talking to ‘average families’ about affordability…….watch out.

Vibe-coded software is just that - software. We had buggy, insecure software before, why assume that having AI as developer would create better software? That’s where proper project management comes in - projects require more than throwing code together. Gotta tell AI to so some security audits on your code…..

@james_y_zou Isn’t it coming down to semantics at this point? What is a harness if not a definition of how agents will interact, as in an environment, which defines the ‘rules’. How do you see the difference, more specifically?

When repping your startup leads to writing completely inane press article - a lesson in BAD press marketing. Read for a good laugh, only it’s not satire. https://t.co/I6H2Oh4Z8I

Agent Memory - oracle agrees it’s important. That’s why I built https://t.co/G4FHJf3td5 https://t.co/d7gEf9WeRl

Has the EV revolution failed because resale values crashed? No, because you don’t buy a car as an investment, you buy it as a utility, and EV utility is FAR higher than ICE vehicles. Buying a Tesla gives you max utility if you consider what FSD really means in daily life.

Amazing changes in the direction of #warfare tech advances and the @USArmy pivot! Lt Gasparri gives a very succinct prediction - better sensor s, #autonomy and energy density are what will separate fighting forces in the future. https://t.co/N9Bj0iOUYg

Done nets are a sign of desperation and not having any real solution to a battlefield problem. What do you do in the winter? Snow’s heavier that leaves. But i guess you just need to survive til then…
How about if drone munitions attack straight down and have an angled blade of them? There goes the net idea….

@GloOouD Let’s see…..fixed-wing plane flying at about 80kts in a straight line across your field of fire 200yds away, and not one AA battery can hit it? This is bad by WWII standards, forget about 2026! 🤣

@itsolelehmann Doubt it except as proof of concept - complex airspace rules in cities will put giant no-fly zone blotches on the map. No burritos within 5 miles of that Class-D airspace.

[Gene Avakyan @GeneAvakyan]

@wartranslated Can it see below the horizon? I.e - below the roof level? Then I can see how a drone can fly at 100ft agl following streets right to the target.

“I’ve been building AI systems for years” is now a red flag when someone tells you about their background to sell you on their authority. The game changed in the last 6 months so much that pre-2025 has no bearing on AI in business any longer.

The AI coding revolution is a step back from SaaS - why hire a platform and let them keep your data for a fee when you can write your own app to do it just how you want it AND keep full control? #ai #vibecoding (what a misnomer! 🤣😂🤣)

@bloggersarvesh Good advice is plenty out there, but following it is hard. To actually drive SEO improvements, you need to reframe the asks around three things: business outcomes, sequencing, and accountability.

Just run your Claude CLI or Codex on a VPS and you’ve got a 24/7 agent. Or run OpenClaw, that was the initial reason for a remote, always on super-agent. https://t.co/pEaDiEYE4L
