Men are naturally more physically aggressive, and weak men don’t know how to direct that energy, which can make them dangerous in the wrong way. On the other hand, that same aggressiveness enables strong men with values to defend the woman who is being attacked. Weak women tend to use emotional aggression, while weak men tend to go physical. Nothing is just good or bad. The same energy used to protect and nurture can be used to cause harm.

@GTuohy74026 @PeterSweden7 @grok can you answer her?

[Igor Gaelzer @igorgaelzer]

@brian_armstrong It would be human consciousness just not biological

My thoughts after 3 months in the US/Texas🇺🇸:

- Americans are way more extroverted than Europeans
- Talking to strangers is normal here
- My first H-E-B trip felt like Boris Yeltsin seeing an American grocery store
- Some food is more artificial, but the amount of choices is insane
- You can still eat healthy. You just have to choose it
- High risk, high reward is real
- Way more people are entrepreneurial
- People dream bigger than in Europe, and they actually execute
- Obv not everyone is smarter, but the smart people are world-class
- Successful people here are way more down-to-earth. In Europe, successful people care about status and can be arrogant
- Cars. Enough said
- Americans have perfected artificial sweets
- There’s still more freedom here than in Europe
- One thing I didn’t expect: some Americans talk down on America
- As an outsider, that’s weird, because imo it’s still the greatest country on Earth🇺🇸🇺🇸

Am I the only one?

[Igor Gaelzer @igorgaelzer]

@DanielMiessler Interested to know how it turns out!

[Igor Gaelzer @igorgaelzer]

@shahin43 @petergyang Until Anthropic come out with something significantly better and we all switch in a week lol tough times for them 😮‍💨

@tobi Toby you guys are fucking awesome. Love being your customer.

In my case, I’m building a business wide agent with Codex, it’s a repo with everything about the business, processes, rules etc. And I want to give people in the team access to parts of it, like marketing or finances, but I don’t want them to change the code directly or even see all of it. So that’s when I intend to create Hermes Agents, connect them to the team slack channels and those agents will have some freedom but will have to follow the “constitution” of the main repo I’m building with Codex. They will have their own memory but the tools they have access to are defined by the “constitution”. They can’t change it directly, but they can open issues on GitHub if they want changes or access to tools they don’t have. Then I use Codex with special skills for it, build a solution for the issue and integrate the code to the main “constitution” with a pull request if I judge it helpful and correct. That way we keep the business versioned and with different access levels. It’s pretty awesome.

@Im_IrushiK Both set to the highest inteligence level, $200 plan for both (not for long for Claude though)

[Igor Gaelzer @igorgaelzer]

@Im_IrushiK True I just tested it myself lol

[Igor Gaelzer @igorgaelzer]

@DanielMiessler How do you recommend structuring workflows with many steps now to make sure agents do things correctly, in the right order and don’t skip and forget steps every now and then? I mean while we are still waiting for models and hanesses to have better solutions.

[Igor Gaelzer @igorgaelzer]

@Layton_Gott It was much faster/better than Claude Opus a few weeks ago, one of the reasons that I switched. Today it's been super slow and almost unusable.

[Igor Gaelzer @igorgaelzer]

@Tesla It really does!

[Igor Gaelzer @igorgaelzer]

@DanielMiessler This is fantastic, Daniel. Thank you for sharing. It descibes exactly what I've been building for my business. So insightful.

[Igor Gaelzer @igorgaelzer]

I was genuinely excited to build custom agents inside @NotionHQ.

Our whole business already runs there: databases, projects, tasks, systems. It really feels like the right shared space for people and AI agents to work together.

But the credit cost is starting to feel hard to justify. I keep adding more credits, and it doesn’t feel proportional to the amount of work getting done.

So now I’m moving some skills/workflows to external agents, while still using the Notion API to keep information updated inside Notion.

I’ve also seen people testing and estimating that the same AI work can cost 10-12x more through Notion credits than using Anthropic/OpenAI tokens directly. Even if that’s only directionally true, it makes everyday use difficult.

I’d much rather keep everything native in Notion. I love the direction. I just wish the pricing made it easier to actually use every day.
