It’s 2026, and universities like UC Berkeley still force us to manage our lives using terrible, last-century UIs, endless PDFs, and a million URLs. The tangled maze of course dependencies leaves you frustrated, staring at a wall of 50 open browser tabs, still clueless. Yet underneath it all, this is just a logical network that can be booleanized and API-driven.
The physical world desperately lacks standard REST APIs. If college systems were as clean and efficient as Binance or Bybit, we could use AI agents to elegantly orchestrate our lives instead of drowning in information overload. Public data (course catalogs, prerequisites) should be open via public GET endpoints—just like fetching BTC market data. Private data should be securely accessible via student-generated private keys. 100% compliant, zero data leaks.
Complaining stops now. I’m building a new project to abstract these real-world constraints and unstructured bureaucracies into APIs and declarative configurations built for developers and agents. This isn’t about outsourcing responsibility for your future to an agent—it’s about using technology to amplify your own agency.
Real change in the 21st century starts by rewriting the underlying logic of legacy systems. If you're a hacker wanting to build something actually cool, DM me. Let’s go. 🚀 #Berkeley #College #Agent
Tout ce que tu utilises a été construit par quelqu'un qu'on méprisait pendant qu'il le construisait.
Le train allait rendre les passagers fous. L'ampoule était un gadget de foire. L'avion, un caprice de riches. La voiture ne remplacerait jamais le cheval. L'ordinateur personnel ne servirait à rien. Internet était une mode. Les fusées réutilisables, une fantaisie, jusqu'à ce qu'elles atterrissent.
À chaque époque, la même distribution des rôles. D'un côté, des gens qui essaient, se trompent, recommencent. De l'autre, des gens qui expliquent doctement pourquoi ça ne marchera pas.
Les seconds ont choisi le métier confortable. Le commentaire ne connaît ni la panne, ni la dette, ni la nuit blanche. Il produit du jugement, la seule industrie qui tourne sans usine.
Et note l'asymétrie : l'histoire a retenu le nom des frères Wright. Personne ne cite leurs éditorialistes.
On te recrute en permanence pour le camp des commentateurs. C'est le plus facile d'accès, aucune compétence exigée, l'indignation suffit. On t'y promet même une réputation d'esprit critique.
Mais le monde ne se divise pas entre la droite et la gauche, ni entre le haut et le bas. Il se divise entre ceux qui construisent et ceux qui regardent construire en distribuant des notes.
Les bâtisseurs n'ont jamais gagné le débat. Ils ont construit pendant que les autres débattaient.
@JoelWBerry Immigrants are only brought in because they benefit the state by contributing and producing. It serves the state's welfare, not the immigrants'
Die moderne Sklaverei trägt keine Eisenketten mehr, sondern eine Steuernummer, eine Sozialversicherungsnummer, eine elektronische Patientenakte und bald einen digitalen Impf- und CO₂-Pass. Der Sklave von heute rennt nicht weg – er „meldet sich freiwillig“ an, weil er sonst nicht arbeiten, kein Konto eröffnen, kein Haus kaufen und nicht mal ein verdammtes Bier kaufen kann, ohne dass der Leviathan mitverdient.
Die Kaste, die hinter dem Konstrukt Staat steht, sagt dir nicht mehr „Du gehörst mir.“ Sie sagt:
„Du bist eine Ressource. Zahle uns 60 % deiner Leistungen als Zwangsabgabe, und wir geben dir mit großem Getöse einen Bruchteil davon als ‚Dienstleistung‘ zurück – meist schlechter und teurer, als der Markt es je könnte. Und wenn du dich wehrst, kommen die Leute mit den Waffen.“
@WinRAR_RARLAB@MyPaisa125027 It reminds me of Ultralytics' business model. They open sourced their project and marked its license as AGPL, which means that all projects based on their project should be open source and if you want to use it for commercial purposes you need to pay them (to me it's 5000$)
Your AI hates Whites & Asians, especially Chinese, heterosexuals and men.
This is misanthropic and evil. Fix it.
Frankly, I don’t think there is anything you can do to escape the inevitable irony of Anthropic ending up being Misanthropic. You were doomed to this fate when you chose your name.
The Name of the Wind.
If you can’t see how libertarianism and communism could be first cousins, your historical camera is zoomed in too far. Zoom out to escape your Anglo bubble.
Yeah I know they hate each other. So do Shiites and Sunnis. Yes I know Marx was a German Jew and Hayek an Austrian
Curtis Yarvin is right here in the sense that Marx and Hayek are both offspring of Kantian critical philosophy. It's obvious in the case of Marx's Hegelianism, but Hayek's Kantianism is less noted, except by Hayek himself: "On these issues which will be my main concern, thought seems to have made little advance since David Hume and Immanuel Kant, and in several respects it will be at the point at which they left off that our analysis will have to resume."
Our thoughts on the importance of AI sovereignty.
1. Your AI sovereignty dictates your institution’s future. Sovereignty is the precondition for choice. Relinquishing sovereignty transfers the future choices of your institution to others, who are likely to exploit it for their gain and your loss.
2. Data retention is your treasure. Transfer it at your own peril. Your ability to win is dictated by your ability to recognize and use your unique edges, and you keep winning by compounding the underlying data to generate new insights. Transferring that data hands over access to your pre-existing winning plays and yields the means of production for new ones.
3. Tokenmaxxing hijacks your value orientation and decreases your institutional fortitude and intelligence. The pursuit of high token usage incentivizes disposable scripts over robust software — with the addictive feeling of false progress. There is a reason why those selling tokens refuse to charge based on value.
4. Controlling your weights is controlling your fate. Weights are the distilled form of hard-won, accumulated institutional knowledge. If you let others control your weights, you are allowing them to migrate the alpha of your business to theirs.
5. There is no contradiction between sovereignty and alpha. The architecture that maximally preserves sovereignty is one that enables institutions to own their tribal knowledge, and to compound it as alpha.
6. Politicizing the technical issues involving sovereignty is what your adversary wants. Techno-politicization is the wellspring of false sovereignty. Techno-politicization drives decisions that seem to reduce dependency, but ultimately limit agency — especially on the battlefield in the West.
7. Real expertise is existential. Allowing politics or favoritism to determine your technical decisions rewards whoever is best at politics, not whoever is right. Listen to those closest to the problems, not those speaking most compellingly about them.
8. Learn from institutions that are winning or that have consistently delivered. Institutions facing existential threats do not have the luxury of making technical decisions based on political preferences.
9. Only listen to institutions, countries, and people who have a proven record of being right. A track record of correctness is the best and only signal for future correctness. Judging something as right or wrong based on who you like is exceedingly misguided.
Quand les premières fusées de SpaceX ont explosé l'une après l'autre, le monde entier s'est moqué : Un milliardaire de la tech qui jouait à l'astronaute, Un ego qui brûlait son argent dans le ciel, Les experts de l'aérospatiale le traitaient d'amateur.
Puis SpaceX a réussi ce que personne n'avait fait à cette échelle. Faire revenir une fusée se poser intacte après l'avoir lancée en orbite, et ravitailler la station spatiale, pendant que les géants installés du secteur regardaient. Les mêmes qui riaient l'ont sacré visionnaire. Le monde n'a pas changé d'avis sur l'homme. Il s'est incliné devant son résultat.
Retenez ça : On ne vous admire que lorsque vous gagnez. Avant, vous êtes toléré au mieux, moqué au pire, invisible entre les deux. Le monde n'a pas pitié de celui qui échoue. Il le condamne. Et il adore celui qui réussit, exactement la même action qu'il méprisait la veille.
