i like this idea a lot, it seems pretty smart. been working a lot on the idea of one-shotting agent context onboarding lately, and this kinda recursive self-updating model is what i've been looking for.

at openclaw we have a bunch of crawler repos that started off trying to manage all our PR/issue context (gitcrawl/Clawsweeper) and turn the firehose of slop into something usable. the key here was using agents to summarize individual chunks (e.g. a PR, but only against the code, not the slop description) into a small-ish card and then run clustering on top of that.

now we add other crawlers (https://t.co/NTfrI5h1gy ) so imagine you get a ~standardized self-updating agent-readable interface into all your surfaces (chat, mail, even photos, work shit too maybe idk, etc), along with some clustering/classifying

this is where your prose architecture would come in, and you can recurse back down the graph, and update each node iff its backing crawler updated.

(the photos thing is cool too - you can enrich photos with POI & area location data from Apple and OSM, send this along with the image to a cheap model, gemini or qwen were best in evals, and you get a really rich description of the photo. perfect for a memory system)

i'm gonna play around with your harness tomorrow and see how far i get!

@christianreber best personalized AI that isn't designed around monetization will probably come out of EU. hell, openclaw is v1 of this.

@kennethnym lol but codex would have long been fired from CTO job for horrible communication skills

[emot-sun.gif industries @jjpcodes]

@bentlegen get nix to configure all your harnesses

[emot-sun.gif industries @jjpcodes]

hmm. seems like Codex doesn't completely continue working with /goal after you hit a rate limit any more :(

Alex Lo in SCMP on the rising “China-maxxing” phenomenon among young Westerners, and on why it isn’t really about TikTok aesthetics. It’s about a generation that has watched the West tear off its mask in Gaza, in Iran, in the Caribbean, in ICE detention facilities, and concluded that the social-moral-ideological hierarchy it grew up being told to take for granted does not actually exist.

The comparison the younger generation is making isn’t between China and some imaginary frictionless Western liberal democracy. It’s between China and the West we can actually see. A West that has armed, financed and politically protected a genocide that has killed more than 75,000 people. A West whose largest power runs over 240 immigration detention camps – scholars are now calling them concentration camps.

The China-bashing era required two things: that the West retain its status at the top of an ethical hierarchy, and that audiences keep buying that narrative. Neither survives Gaza. Neither survives the war on Iran. The generational shift “China-maxxing” describes is, fundamentally, the moment a generation has realised it was sold an account of the world that wasn’t true.

@kr0der haha thanks! it took me a ton of steering, the model refused to do it like 3-4 times despite a goal. i had to tell it to copy pi's session patterns and reassemble from scratch, and only then did it decide to actually work haha. took a LOT of effort

[emot-sun.gif industries @jjpcodes]

Codex friends: do you like side chats? do you like them so much that you wish you could make them permanent? here you go!

do you also wish that you could update AGENTS.md on demand for an existing thread? well now you can!

just check out my latest vibesloppe-uh agentically engineered repo, you can do unspeakable things to your threads. big ball of slop but it just works.

@kr0der one for you?

@thekitze how you gettin this shit enabled properly inside the app in EU bro?

[emot-sun.gif industries @jjpcodes]

@JasonBotterill only 1b lifetime?

bro is ngmi, sorry to say

It is crucial to understand that this is a major reason for the West’s increasing belligerence toward China over the past decade. China’s development is challenging Western monopolies. This imposes a direct squeeze on Western profits but it also undermines a core tenet of imperialism.

The West’s monopoly power allows them to impose dependency on the global South. The South is forced to export large quantities of raw materials and intermediate goods in order to pay for imports at monopoly prices.

This produces large net flows from the global South, propping up the West’s growth and profits. If the West’s monopoly power declines, this flow gets cut off. They are desperate to prevent this from happening, to the point of fantasising about going to war with China to destroy China’s industrial base.

The West’s whole model for capital accumulation depends on Southern dependency. As that arrangement becomes increasingly unstable, the Western ruling class will become increasingly violent.

@moninvestor jensen talking recently about 100bn market cap value per GW if i remember right. which should put $IREN at a... 580bn MC? compared to current ~25.... hoping that the market actually prices this in.

[mon @moninvestor]

$IREN has announced its first Australian data center project, a planned 800MW campus in Bundey, South Australia, located about 78 miles northeast of Adelaide.

The company signed a transmission connection agreement securing four 330kV feeder exits at the utility's substation, which is expected to support the full 800MW without requiring network upgrades.

It is one of the largest such projects announced in the Asia-Pacific region to date, and is on track to begin energization from 2028.

Executives from IREN and South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas framed the campus as a boost to the state's clean energy leadership, its AI infrastructure, and its standing as a technology and innovation hub for the Asia-Pacific region.

multitasking!

right now i run 8-10 (or more) codex windows in parallel and its good but not amazing. you gotta reload the windows every time you restart codex (happens fairly often due to updates or troubleshooting), remember the layout and tile them properly using something like rectangle/bento box on a 57" monitor.

i also have a "lead" agent thread for projects that oversees this multitasking and coordinates a bit.... but the model isn't great at it yet. i have about 6 different themed projects going on (openclaw maintainer, personal sysadmin, life admin, and a few other SWE projects), so one lead for each. important to note is that projects span multiple repos and often overlap - so the codex app pattern of "spawn threads in a project" breaks down - in real world usage it's not quite clean enough to properly separate things. this is for solo/indie dev working on OSS, which is very different than standard big tech SWE workflows (which would be more heterogenous)

the new feature where codex can manage its own threads is a good step in the right direction but i think it can be made even better.

ideal situation for me would be:
- native support in the harness for multitasking;
- grouping/tagging threads to fall under a distinct workstream/project, as well as "lead agent" threads to manage your workstreams (and maybe Chief of Staff to manage the work streams)
- better window management so that the harness restores window setup on a restart, as well as leaner tiling (you probably don't need the full UX chrome in additional pop-up windows by default), if you can build in a mini TWM for codex that's even more awesome
- rehydrating persistent threads with harness changes (agents.md, new tools/skills/plugins etc) as they are added - right now you have to restart harness and recreate threads to pick up these changes - not ideal.
- ability to promote an ephemeral side thread to a persistent one - (basically a fork) if the side thread is useful at its investigation/task, i find myself wanting to promote it to a full thread
- clearer insights into each threads actual working directory, this is pretty hidden (and seems immutable, which is not ideal if the thread evolves or creates new folders, or folders are reorganised)

i spend basically all day every day in codex and this is what would help me the most!

[emot-sun.gif industries @jjpcodes]

it's not a perfect app yet. but it's a pretty good app!

biggest pain point atm is how to run multiple windows at once, including before and after an update, basically tiling window manager or split manager for codex; making it easy to multitask out of the box. (i run 8-10 codexes in parallel, could use CLI and tmux but... app is better!)

[emot-sun.gif industries @jjpcodes]

@kr0der currently have an agent in a goal loop trying to figure out how to promote them to regular threads lol

[emot-sun.gif industries @jjpcodes]

@initjean dutch people are far too teamspilled especially professionals. it's fucking awful. half of them have never even heard of slack

lawyers etc when you try and hire them will only talk on teams. i would rather be chopped up along with the horse meat and turned into frikandel

@mil000 it's pretty funny to see how propagandized people are to believe that bad things are good. meanwhile the chinese are subwaymogging and railmogging the west beyond our wildest dreams
