@RichDoesTech It's insane how quickly this is already feeling normal

Watching two experts in a shared domain work together is such an incredible thing.

Efficient lossless compression of ideas, basically speaking another language.

This is also the best way to get quality out of AIs still. Whether it’s domain language of design, or domain language of your codebase, make an effort to use the right terms. If someone on your team is not speaking the same language as the rest, fixing that will save you so much pain later.

To get good animations from an AI you need to get good at telling it what you want:

- "stagger this list of items"
- "make this animation direction-aware"
- "spacial consistency", "crossfade", "layout animation",

I made a motion vocabulary for this:

@banteg @argofowl @sama gpt 5.5 is already better than opus 4.8 🤷‍♂️

or performance sensitivity is ending for my workflow

[Potrock @Potrock_]

i am back on 5.5

DO NOT run cursor's nuclear-code-review on Opus 4.8 PRs using GPT5.5 as the reviewer

Remember that old movie where Neo is on a bus and he can't slow down, because if the bus slows down it explodes? That's exactly how I feel about AI capabilities advancement right now, only replace 'the bus' with 'human civilization'.

@lgrammel @nicoalbanese10 Yes!

[Potrock @Potrock_]

@lgrammel Can I pass a tool loop agent in directly as a subagent? Or wrap it?

@deanwball Really liked Chris Olah's third question on the nature of AI models

We raised $250M in Series C funding at a $2.2B valuation, led by a16z.

Exa is a search lab organizing the web's data for agents.

Codex mac app has replaced so many other interfaces for me. Plugins and CLIs for everything, gaps filled with computer and browser use. Context flows from Slack, Notion, Granola, Github so naturally. Completely changed the way I use my computer, far beyond just how I code.

We taught two F.03 robots to clean a room and make a bed in under 2 minutes - fully autonomous.

when sam talks about the risks of compute scarcity and why we have to “flood the market” to avoid them, this is the kind of centralising force he worries about

one man should not be able to control the flows based his own ideas of moral worth

this power must be undercut

@goodalexander @gregosuri that flip side may come with some other possible flip sides
