@finkd Follow-up the isolated worktrees for parallel sub-agents is the real differentiator for me. Most agentic setups I've used (Antigravity) still risk stepping on each other's changes. If Muse Code actually isolates that cleanly at scale, that's a genuine workflow shift.
@finkd Wild day for AI — Hassabis stepping back from day-to-day at DeepMind, Jeff Dean leaving Google entirely, and now Meta dropping a legit coding agent with benchmarks to back it up. Pricing will decide if Muse Code is a real Claude Code/Codex competitor or just a good demo.

I build with AI tools daily (agentic dev, Next.js/Prisma) so who's steering these labs isn't abstract to me — it shapes what tools I'll have next year. I break down stuff like this as I follow it. Portfolio: https://t.co/3YnqTffM5r

Demis Hassabis just posted about a "new chapter." What he didn't say directly: this is happening alongside Google's chief scientist quitting to start a rival, a 4-5% Alphabet stock drop, and mounting pressure over a delayed Gemini release. Here's the real picture.
I’ve been working towards AGI my whole life, and as we enter this pivotal moment, I’m stepping into a new role as Chair of Google DeepMind & Chief Scientist of Alphabet. This will allow me to focus on long-term strategy, and accelerating scientific breakthroughs, including leaning into my work at Isomorphic to help cure disease.
I’m excited that @koraykv will be stepping up to lead GDM as SVP, alongside @joshwoodward and our exec team. I could not be more excited and confident about our amazing next chapter! 🚀

Google has the compute, the distribution, and now a structural bet that stepping Hassabis into a "big picture" role frees him to focus on long-term strategy and AGI — while a new operator runs execution. Whether that fixes the delay problem is the real open question.

Full-stack dev here (Next.js/Prisma, NutoPass, CeVo) — not a policy analyst, but I dig into these because agentic tooling is already reshaping how I build, and understanding where the rules are heading matters. More of this if it's useful. Portfolio: https://t.co/3YnqTffM5r

Anthropic and OpenAI spent the last few weeks publicly asking the US government for AI oversight. They got it. Except the framework that resulted only applies to companies like them — open-weight models are fully exempt. Let's talk about who actually pays for this.

Either way — a framework built on "let's pace the frontier responsibly" landing with zero pace requirements on the open-weight side is a genuinely strange first move, and worth watching how it plays out as open models keep closing the capability gap.
