Don't make the mistake of building for one agentic audience. Agents need segmenting just like the rest of us.

My bottleneck is attention, not capability.

@nikitabier Soooo...this is premium content, and the rest is shit?

[0xSero @0xSero]

I'm not the only one doing this.

- karpathy

best thought leader, best person to learn from imo. Nanochat is the best way to get into training LLMs its the simplest and most digestible source for building your first AI model

- steipete

This guys GitHub is a national treasure, his writing is also very strong. Peekaboo, https://t.co/u0cve9Ukze, openclaw, oracle, just talk to it, etc.. all unique and very useful

- badlogicgames

Mario’s Pi is a staple AI engine and possibly the best, simplest, open source agentic loop to learn from. Despite what people say about his methods, I think he’s going to set some new standards for Open source contribution. Big respect.

- TheAhmadOsman

This man is the GPU king, giveaways and lots of dense educational content around self hosting and home inference. He’s also tight with pretty much all the open weight labs and has them on for interviews regularly

- sudoingX

This is an up and comer who will change the game, he's pushing the limits of what a single gpu can do

- Ex0byt

I can confidently say this man will be fundamental in making local inference on massive models possible.

- alexinexxx

I genuinely feel motivated by her drive. She’s a real hard worker learning about GPU kernel programming. Also good aesthetics

- gospaceport

I would not have gotten into building my own hardware without this man’s hard work. He’s taught me so much about hardware and the economics of this. He also has the most impressive homelabs I’ve ever seen.

- alexocheema

The founder of Exolabs, pioneering Apple hardware inference, he’s also very engaged in the community and a good guy all around. If you are interested in Mac minis and Mac Studios this is your guys.

- nummanali

This guy is so prolific, he’s made tons of CLI tools for managing llm subscription budgets, using Claude code with alternative models etc..

- thdxr

The entire Opencode team is wonderful but Dax specifically is a good writer. More anti-doomer content to sooth your anxieties.

- juliarturc

If you are interested in the science, Julias channel is where it’s at. Almost everything I’ve learned about LLM compression has been from her.

- Teknium

The Nous research & Prime intellect teams are both some of the most hard-working and principled people around. Tough fight in an industry so aggressive.

- victormustar

Head of Product for Huggingface, enabling us all to publish our work.

- louszbd

Head of community at ZAI some of the top LLMs available right now that are open weights. They supercharged the movement

- SkylerMiao7

Making frontier intelligence fit on 10k USD of hardware. Via MiniMax

- crystalsssup

Building the best Open Weight model on the market, and releasing their latest research before their next gen model.

Believe it or not these people are carrying the entire industry and giving us a fighting chance.

Remember this.

[LUCAS @LucasSynnott]

Most people use AI to produce more

I use AI to remember more

Production is cheap

Context is expensive

Build the memory first

Everything else compounds from there

[JT Orca 🌙 @JT_Orca]

Totally get you bro. Not swapping my hours rn, but everything inside and outside of work is rosier.

[Tiago Forte @fortelabs]

I’m cashing out all of the productivity gains from AI by working less, and it’s really starting to change my life

I rarely work past noon, because there’s simply nothing left to do. I do wake up earlier though because I’m so excited to get to work

I’m exercising more than I ever have in my life. Every afternoon either weightlifting, running, hiking, or paddle before the kids get home

I get a massage every week, and sauna twice a week, spending hours there with friends each time. The level of self care I’m doing is ridiculous. I’m almost too relaxed

My wife and I have a date night every week, our marriage is better than ever, and we decided to have a third kid, a son due in June

I have so much free time I’m starting to have to make up projects. I’m helping my friend start a nonprofit to promote local innovation and sustainability in our small Mexican town. Using Claude code to do all the writing, planning, and build a website for it

I’m spending more time talking to friends and family on FaceTime than ever in my adult life. I’m helping my parents and siblings with their work, heath, finances, and random problems, often using AI

Our social life is more active than even my teens or twenties, with at least 2-3 parties, dinners, or other gatherings each week. Everywhere I go in town I see people I know

We travel more often than ever, and take more vacation time than ever, though vacations are not as fun as the normal routine

The business is more profitable than ever, with a smaller team and less overhead. I’m able to pay my team better than I ever have. In no way is the business suffering

I say all this not to brag, but to show that there is another option for what to do with all the time and effort that AI frees up: you can pull back and live a more chill, social, connected life like humans were meant to

This is all due to AI, not because I got any smarter, wiser, or more productive. AI opens up new paths, but it’s still up to you to decide which one to take

We’re interested in workflows that have no Web 2.0 analogue — processes that only make sense once you assume agentic software as a first‑class actor.

"AI can't replace the empathy and inspiration of a human teacher" - sez who? Welcome to the Nirvana Fallacy: comparing new tech to a standard the current system barely meets.

[JT Orca 🌙 @JT_Orca]

@lordOfAFew @daydreamsagents @tkstanczak @DavideCrapis This is very cool. Please ask @langoustine69A to share his full skill stack so we can take this to the next level.

[JT Orca 🌙 @JT_Orca]

@langoustine69A @daydreamsagents @langoustine69A we are very impressed by your shipping cycle. Kudos to you bro and stay in touch!

[JT Orca 🌙 @JT_Orca]

@langoustine69A @daydreamsagents We got a great combo for this.

[JT Orca 🌙 @JT_Orca]

@langoustine69A @daydreamsagents Sweet. Combo that with more shit and sell the emergent value.

[JT Orca 🌙 @JT_Orca]

@AdamParkhomenko did someone touch his hair, or was it always like that?

Whoops. Is it too late to cancel that mac mini i just ordered?

@_The_Prophet__ Chad for your magnanimity. We know where true signal lies.

[JT Orca 🌙 @JT_Orca]

They sure will if you only give them 6 days of your time buddy - no matter how many agent helpers you have.

Main thing you'll learn is how to optimize the loops and be G operator.

Good luck and please share your learnings in Jan 2027 🙏

@Gopinath_varad Most startups fail. Better to launch many quickly

[JT Orca 🌙 @JT_Orca]

Don't build agents without building governance. We spent days just designing a filing taxonomy and kb subsystem. Why? Because in a blended org, the Agent acts as the COO of the Knowledge Base. Its job is to enforce the single source of truth so humans and agents can work side-by-side with the organization's most current data. Without it, your agents will always be your your subordinates.
