An important skill in the AI era, next to knowing what to build, is knowing what to consume.
AI tools are so powerful that you can absorb ideas and insights from more people than ever before.
Knowing who is worth listening to is a very valuable skill these days.
time to dust off...
AI solved the problem of execution. Generating code, copy, and solutions is now instantaneous and virtually free.
In Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance:
Quality does not reside in the machine, but in the care of the person operating it.
When anyone can build anything, human taste and judgment become the ultimate moat.
Introducing ManimGX, the 3D animation engine for agents.
- Blazingly fast: 90× faster than ManimCE
- Rust + wgpu core
- Compatible with Manim's Python API
- Lightweight: one pip install, no system dependencies
Open source: https://t.co/rd68AdwV11

For 40 years we built GUIs for humans. Now we build APIs for agents.
Try it. Paste this into your favorite coding agent:
"Follow https://t.co/86GwyaGyKQ to make me a 3D animation of the solar system, and open it."

Opus 150
Astra 59
tie 33
no verdict 284
Opus wins water physics, jelly feel and price. Koi pond 14:0, pineapple 12:0, watermelon 18:6.
Astra wins when the result has a face. Hammerhead 7:1, squid 5:1, dragon fruit 3:0.
93 accounts picked Opus at least once, 46 Astra.
people mourning the death of handwritten software is the ultimate status signaling trap.
have you actually interacted with human-written codebases out in the wild? 99% of legacy software is an unreadable tower of bugs, visual slop, and terrible UX held together by spit and duct tape. it’s pure junk optimized for corporate bloat cycles.
the romanticization of the manual programmer typing out every single character line-by-line is bizarre. we are replacing a fundamentally flawed human bottleneck with flawless, deterministically optimized intelligence loops. let’s go!
Prediction: the value of all verifiable tasks in the long run is 0. There is no profit there.
Anything where the success is defined in a finite and non-ambiguous way, it’s over. Value is 0.
The profits are all in taste/judgement related tasks where some like it and some hate it. Vibes only. No rationality.
Labs are hillclimbing verifiable tasks now and it might sound impressive that OpenAI found those math proofs but soon others will follow and players like DeepSeek will drive its cost to electricity.
Ambiguity is the life line and where the money is.
- Anything that’s irrational, vibe driven and controversial with no consensus definition of good is worth something.
- If the society all agree on what good looks like for a given task with no ambiguity, it’s worth 0.
- caveat: coming up with verifiable task to do is worth a lot because the ability to come up is not a verifiable task by itself
Introducing Anatomy
Describe a machine in one line. Claude brings it to life.
- Interactive isometric wireframes you can rotate, inspect and explore
- WebGL shaders for fire, water, plasma and more
- Real 3D motion, with individual parts that rotate and move
Install it as an agent skill. Fully open source.
you are *not* ready for what i've concocted for this app since posting this. hot damn Opus 5.5 is changing my life, dude.
ambient intelligence, with @typesafeai's Jev as your agent's tendrils. meaning: your agent is always with you, sees what you see, uses your computer through Jev, writes and dictates text on screen through Haiku (so it's fast and cheap), and reasons // acts as your agent. for me that means Opus 5.5 via CC.
turns out when you are building something and tell claude "my primary goal is for this to feel magical for the user. like it shouldn't be possible"...it works. 😅
@RileyRalmuto@typesafeai is this heading toward a Jev-powered https://t.co/2gVJ5EMCVV with local ambient tendrils (aim at "Nostr and relay direction")?
running this setup: VPS relay for 24/7 builds, Mac only spins up for GPU/previews.
