To all the folks worried about becoming part of the permanent underclass… it ain’t the IPO…
You either live above or below the system prompt.
There is a third way… it’s distributed and OSS-ish…
With great power (Fable 5) comes, talk about AI Psychosis: it’s something that leaders and business owners need to be keenly aware of.
Self improvement and understand the challenge before you has always been part of the path and this is just a new paradigm to take account of.
It was a packed trip this time around #MIGlobal, but the energy was amazing as usual. So thankful to be able to reconnect with so many partners, friends and fellow scholars in this trip.
I’ve been talking about AI for a long time with folks here, but I couldn’t keep up with the questions this time 😅. Thanks to a good meeting I’ll be able to share more about the AI Journey soon with many more people.
Go glad to be able to reconnect at #MIGlobal this year: I’ve had my head buried deep in terminal windows and agents like other tech CEOs.
Brave new world, have not been speaking to very many humans for the last year 😅 looking forward to connecting with some awesome partners
The interwebs is optimizing for noise. Not for you, now for us, noise. The scariest AI is someone else’s weapons of math destruction in charge of your eyeballs, time & attention.
The reductionist-materialist mind virus manifests in destructive AI. Buyer beware.
What an incredible podcast. One way to distill information when information is overwhelming is to follow others who distill.
And no, AI can’t actually do the system2 slow, deep thinking part like listening to insights from @mlevchin
Okay the agentic game is getting crazy. Spun up a little over 200k agents over the weekend (some still working). This is friggin insane.
Token cost: don’t ask 😅
No, these are not claws. Got love for the claw community but you can do some heavy duty stuff with agents.
We need to have a very serious discussion about what constitutes "success"
Success is NOT validation from others
Success is NOT = wealth
Success is NOT the outcome
Success IS contentment & grace.
Being able to do great work is icing 🧁
I don’t know how successful @steipete is/was, only he really knows.
He seemed content, gracious and successful, even before all this. Seems to be enjoying doing great work.
Wish him and many others here on the path true success. Because ultimately success is abundant and NOT zero sum.
I pray that all the “noise” from slaves to the algo doesn’t diminish true success. Pray that you can be free, content & truly successful.
Umm 🤔 this was possible in late November/December, I had 23 of these going, Tmux component was a bit difficult to teach agents, but they were pretty darn good at it. They guzzle tokens like crazy tho.
If you’re an entrepreneur or builder, building in AI, this should be on your MUST READ list. (Think moltbook & Facebook)
@sapinker just taught me the parallels between Sadaqa and a very similar concept tzedakah by Maimonides. This should be common knowledge.
IMHO Gemini is one of the more creative models. ChatGPT is thorough and sophisticated. Opus is genius sycophantic unstable weirdo you love/hate. Sonnet, builds, great daily driver.
Be LLM agnostic, results are much better that way. The harness and tooling matters more.
