VC firms right now: "So we need to host new events. But they can't be dinners. They need to be good events."
The "new" events:
- Bowling
- Arcade
- Poker
- Ping Pong
- Movie Screening
- Escape Room (this would be sick actually)
Events don't equal community
Good events are about what feelings you evoke (not what you do).
So to recap, AI is expected to create huge amounts of wealth, yet…
Workers lose because they’ll be replaced by robots…
Software corps lose because they’ll be replaced by Claude code…
Tech giants lose because all their free cash flow is now capex…
Frontier labs lose because they get margin compressed by open source models that are at most three months behind…
Nvidia loses because it gets margin compressed by TPUs and Huawei…
So where exactly is the value supposed to accrue?
🔥310 people joined Atoms’ first hackathon, held on Jan 18 in Hong Kong..
Co-hosted by MindWorks Capital and Lonely Octopus, "Builder Night" brought together founders, engineers, and operators to actively build, not just listen.
It practiced Vibe Business: fast building, user closeness, and shipping working iterations.
Thanks to all involved. More events coming.
Oh, can someone tell me how I’m supposed to move up, down, left, and right with one hand and still click the Git button on the right at the same time?!
And seriously… how is this even supposed to be played? This is way too creative.

i was (am??) a DS who routinely dropped 70-file PRs on our senior devs-- this game is a tribute to their suffering ◡̈
45min to one-shot vibe-code with @atoms_dev, at a lonely octopus x @hellotinah x @mindworkslab event
thanks for the fun~
We’re releasing TranslateGemma, a new family of open translation models with support for 55 languages. 🌐
Available in 4B, 12B, and 27B parameter sizes – they’re designed for efficiency without sacrificing quality.
In 2026, Claude Code could finally unleash the golden age of local and decentralized apps.
The reason is that Claude Code allows you to quickly clone any moderately complex cloud-based app into a decent local one that runs on only your files.
This is an important update to Obsidian founder Kepano’s concept of “file over app.” His argument was that files are portable (and hence more reliable) but apps are not.
The new information is that apps are suddenly portable too. That is: apps of moderate complexity without strong global network effects are suddenly easy to clone. The clone won’t be perfect right away, but it’ll be pretty good. And if the cloning dev sticks with it it’ll get better.
So: can we get a local open source Mac app for everything, operating only on your files? Maybe we can make that a reality.
