simplicity is the ultimate sophistication

working on something new

[Andy Gao @instantricecook]

@sandro_vol @zenorocha I bet there's going to be a lot of non-technical devs who just will use whatever the agent recommends.

@Calclavia Saw this the other day, maybe it could be helpful!

I've updated my rules to tell AI to use Simplified Technical English

Will report back

I’ve built social websites and apps for 23 years. Friendster showed me what the internet could be, but I soon became disillusioned with where it went. I’ve finally written down the journey, the successes, failures and lessons.

@coleruudjohnson @NickAbraham12 curious if you use any cold calling tools to track performance or use AI to help with coaching?

@AviSchiffmann @ryd4rlee think this would be really cool as a series on instagram (new feature i just saw today)

Charlie Munger: "There was all this folly out there and I suddenly realized [that] if I just avoid all of the folly, maybe I can get an advantage [in life] without having to be really good at anything."

@eoghan so miami?

[Andy Gao @instantricecook]

@blakeir It would also solve some of the economics involved in AI games by offloading majority of the token costs to these providers.

[Andy Gao @instantricecook]

@blakeir If we consider agent harnesses as the consoles of the future, I believe that MCP Games/agentic games could be a interesting new primitive.

Codex/Claude already have a large install base which allows for easier distribution.

[Andy Gao @instantricecook]

@mattshumer_ utterly wowed prompting

[Andy Gao @instantricecook]

@hypersoren any space still left?

There's this beautiful symmetry between crypto and ai.

Crypto burns energy to make information scarce.

AI burns energy to make information abundant.

[Andy Gao @instantricecook]

I think one way to get SaaS like margins while still leveraging AI is to build MCP apps!

You offload the cost of AI to an agent harness (e.g. Claude, ChatGPT) and provide value through your app's UX.

@Paper is one of the best examples!

[Andy Gao @instantricecook]

@af_gao One way I've been thinking about it is that models should be viewed as an exceptions handler:

```
try {
learned hard code
} catch{
run model to update hard code on new exceptions
}
```

[Andy Gao @instantricecook]

It's kinda crazy that I've rotated through every note taking app and yet none has felt as intuitive as Roam Research.

[Andy Gao @instantricecook]

@JacksonRobertsE @jeffreyhuber woah, very cool! It's time to bring it back.

@toddsaunders If they're North Korean, the strategy is to ask them to repeat "Kim Jung Un is a fat ugly pig" and they usually combust.
