I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

Mythos / Fable is unbelievable.

Was on a customer call today and had Claude transcribing in the background.

As they were telling me about the features they wish their current software had, Claude was building the features in real time.

By the end of the call I was able to show a fully working product, with the exact workflow they mentioned 15 minutes earlier.

Autonomous looped building triggered from a customer call. 🤯

I made a personal black hole that makes you take breaks 🕳️

A shader for Ghostty that spawns a small black hole in your terminal - it drifts around, gravitationally lensing your text. The longer you work without stopping, the bigger it gets, until it's basically demanding you go touch grass

Take a break and it quietly shrinks away

i hooked my whoop to my work calendar to find which coworker gives me the most stress 🚨

thanks to fable, I reverse engineered whoop to pull per minute heart rate. nd matched spikes with cal events and attendees

I now have a leaderboard and I think about it daily.

few info masked for obvious reasons ;)

[VEO @vrexec]

I'm 38.

At this point of my life/career, I have so many friends working corporate W2 jobs making $200-400K/year (mostly in NYC/NJ/PA corridor) who just don't actually work that much.

One friend makes $250K as a manager at a biotech... all he does is send pictures of his chicken coop or other DIY projects all day during the week.. no idea what value he actually provides his company.

Then there's my "jiggler" friend who you might recall... guy makes $250-300K and just plugs a "mouse jiggler" into his laptop and just goes to the gym, homeschools his kids, tans, does yard work... all day. I ask him what he does and he can't even articulate it...

Another friend makes $150K at a remote startup and just travels around the world all the time... don't ask don't tell situation on where people are at any given time... but does seemingly little actual work.. maybe 1 hour a day.

This is truly what's going on out there... BS W2 jobs all over the place. And AI is a bubble?

Really?

Your brain basically stopped recording your life around age 25. Everything since then is a blur for a reason.

Neuroscientists measured this so many times they named it: the reminiscence bump. Ask anyone over 60 to recall their strongest memories and almost every answer clusters between ages 15 and 25. The decade where everything was new. First job, first apartment, first real relationship. Your brain encoded each day because nothing had a template yet.

After that window closes, most people enter a repetition loop. Same commute, same office, same weekend rhythm. The brain stops recording repeated experiences as distinct events. A year with 300 novel days leaves 300 memory anchors. A year with 10 leaves 10. Both took 365 days to live. Only one of them will exist when you look back.

This is why people at 50 say "where did the time go." The time went into routine that felt like living but left almost nothing behind.

Your remaining years are fixed. How many your brain bothers to remember is entirely up to you.

🚨THIS SHOULD BE A LESSON FOR EVERYONE

A whale started trading in May last year on Hyperliquid.

He made over $45,000,000 in just 4 months.

At this point, the best thing to do was stop, but he did the opposite.

He kept on taking highly leveraged trades and getting liquidated.

Today, his account value is down to just $98,500, and he is down $33,000,000.

If calculating from the peak, this guy has lost $78,000,000 in the last 8 months.

This is why leaving the casino is even more important than making big money.

Otherwise, you'll end up giving everything back.
