Software engineer and builder in the pursuit of abundance for all. Opinions are my own.

Build a useful product, with the tool that works.

No one cares how pretty your code is, or who wrote it!

If you don't know how the principal engineer track works at AWS, and the standards they hold themselves to, you won't understand the significance of this tweet.

Assertions like this are made based on data. At an organization with one of the highest operational bars and most rigor of any large scale platform.

An extraordinary thing to read. What a moment.

The answer is simple:

The world doesn’t need another AI researcher.

The world needs the greatest AI educator, thinker, and taste-maker - Andrej Karpathy.

who’s in charge here?

First, the good part of the Anthropic ads: they are funny, and I laughed.

But I wonder why Anthropic would go for something so clearly dishonest. Our most important principle for ads says that we won’t do exactly this; we would obviously never run ads in the way Anthropic depicts them. We are not stupid and we know our users would reject that.

I guess it’s on brand for Anthropic doublespeak to use a deceptive ad to critique theoretical deceptive ads that aren’t real, but a Super Bowl ad is not where I would expect it.

More importantly, we believe everyone deserves to use AI and are committed to free access, because we believe access creates agency. More Texans use ChatGPT for free than total people use Claude in the US, so we have a differently-shaped problem than they do. (If you want to pay for ChatGPT Plus or Pro, we don't show you ads.)

Anthropic serves an expensive product to rich people. We are glad they do that and we are doing that too, but we also feel strongly that we need to bring AI to billions of people who can’t pay for subscriptions.

Maybe even more importantly: Anthropic wants to control what people do with AI—they block companies they don't like from using their coding product (including us), they want to write the rules themselves for what people can and can't use AI for, and now they also want to tell other companies what their business models can be.

We are committed to broad, democratic decision making in addition to access. We are also committed to building the most resilient ecosystem for advanced AI. We care a great deal about safe, broadly beneficial AGI, and we know the only way to get there is to work with the world to prepare.

One authoritarian company won't get us there on their own, to say nothing of the other obvious risks. It is a dark path.

As for our Super Bowl ad: it’s about builders, and how anyone can now build anything.

We are enjoying watching so many people switch to Codex. There have now been 500,000 app downloads since launch on Monday, and we think builders are really going to love what’s coming in the next few weeks. I believe Codex is going to win.

We will continue to work hard to make even more intelligence available for lower and lower prices to our users.

This time belongs to the builders, not the people who want to control them.

OpenClaw agents have a file called https://t.co/zg5QlB92gu that defines their entire personality.

Editing it feels like performing brain surgery on your friend.

The difference between "helpful assistant" and "npx -y openclaw uninstall --all --yes --non-interactive" is one commit away.

How it feels when AI can't solve your problem and you switch to documentation🤣🤣🤣

Claude Code is humbling in how fast it can prove that my cool backlog ideas that I never had the time to implement were actually pretty mid
