Publishing a new article soon: “The Fractured Reality Thesis”.

As AI models get more capable, and as people are exposed to very different versions of them, our shared sense of reality starts to break.

That’s why Roon can sound insane to some people and understated to others.

@BjarturTomas I think we can and will survive, just in a curtailed lightcone as enhanced pets to creatures of incomprehensible power if we let the technology evolve naturally

It cost me $221,861 in 2 months to migrate our codebase to effect💀

Maybe I'll come up with something! It's less about a .tsx file though and more about package/repo cleanliness really, gotta be careful with entrypoints and what they expose for example. Many OS packages aren't really optimized for that unfortunately, so it helps if you have the capacity to do it yourself

@moishinetzer It's very unforgiving, need to be thoughtful about server/client islands and what ends up in each graph. But that's about 95% of it.

@jacobmparis @rickyfm Hydrogen is cool 🤝

@lgrammel Honestly, most OS software does not make sense anymore. Why wait on a maintainer to merge a PR when you can fork their repo, improve it (e.g with effect), and build exactly for your case, even bringing in upstream changes is easy with enough tokens.

I think as an ecosystem TanStack is trying to do too much, at least for my personal taste. Not saying that's bad at all, quite the opposite for most actually, you people ship amazing software that we use selectively (query, table, etc)! But I like to get my hands dirty and build some critical things myself, like a chat agent. As for RR, its data fetching story feels simpler (not saying it's better) but RSC is kind of enough for an agent native world

@DrizzleORM thank god the npm nightmare has come to an end!

@edavidds fun fact, the name eric schmidt comes from the former google ceo eric schmidt

@littIeramblings ngl that’s super funny 😂

[Alex @agcty_]

@threepointone I think you'd need one standardized "knowledge storage" layer and then you can vibe any visualisation on top, but agents live and breath standardization

[Alex @agcty_]

@Jason Gotta pay my respect to you then! Thought your stance was closer to David Sacks

@tszzl we must coordinate globally, very soon, very direct

My best solution yet:

Silos usually revolve around a topic, e.g alignment, auth bugs in a repo

Silos can be arbitrarily sized (users, knowledge)

Silos are cheap to create

Silos can be arbitrarily gated (human verification, x users, passport, open to all)

Silos can be private or public

Cross references between public silos are possible

The purpose of a silo is to store collective knowledge work

It is a prerequisite for global scale coordination

@DavidKPiano I hear something like this every year, is this finally the year of state machines?

@kunalb11 i feel like with ai unusual now comes close to exponential
