To all who come to this happy day, welcome!

I am truly excited and honored to be your #vss365 host.

The #prompt word for November 4, 2020: #exuberantly

If you know me, this is my favorite word in existence ٩(^‿^)۶

May we all have moments that uplift us in the months to come.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

In the future, a trillion times a trillion dollars will be spent on making antimatter to travel to other star systems

[Shruti @heyshrutimishra]

Lex Fridman asked Elon Musk what the meaning of life is. His answer was not what anyone expected.

We do not know, he said. And that is exactly why we need to expand consciousness.

Not to find the answer. To ask better questions.

He believes the universe is full of things we cannot even formulate yet. We are like children trying to understand calculus. The problem is not that calculus is too hard. The problem is that we have not developed enough to know it exists.

Consciousness, to him, is a tool for exploring the universe. The more of it we have, the better our questions become. The better our questions become, the closer we get to understanding what any of this means.

This is why he builds rockets and brain interfaces and AI. Not because he has the answers. Because he thinks the only way to get them is to expand what we are capable of thinking.

Most people spend their lives looking for meaning. Elon is building the tools to look for it at a scale we cannot yet imagine.

@AlexFinn Totally 💯 agreed! I miss it so much too!

[Nic Cruz Patane @niccruzpatane]

Very inspiring words from Elon Musk today:

"I always think about this. There are always problems on earth. There’s always things that we wish to be better, that we want to solve on Earth, and we should solve them. But there there also has to be things that get you excited about the future — that make you glad to wake up in the morning, because you can���t wait to see what happens next.

That’s the future @SpaceX wants to bring to you."

Let’s goooooo🚀

Introducing Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use.

Its capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available.

Hermes won. They just dropped their desktop app and it's excellent

It's now the best way to use AI agents on your computer

In this video I cover how to set it up, how to use it, and go through EVERY feature in the app

Bye bye Telegram

Anthropic AI engineer just dropped a live masterclass on how to ship a team of production‑ready AI agents.

37 minutes. Free. From the Anthropic team.

here’s what she covers:

• 3 building blocks: brain, hands, sessions
• server-side loop, so nothing breaks on refresh
• agent teams shipping to production 10–15x faster
• why agents die before production

brain (persona) + hands (environment) + sessions = a production agent out of the box.

most people are still babysitting fragile agent scripts, while the people who figured this out ship agents that just stay running.

Watch this workshop, then read the full guide below.

@jameshull Wait, that’s brilliant!!! 🤩

[Jonathan G. Chew @JonathanGChew]

@jameshull That’s incredible!!

[Alex Finn @AlexFinn]

The greatest AI skill you can learn is Reverse Prompting

You have your AI ask YOU questions, to see what it can do for you

Makes every AI agent you use so much more powerful

An exercise you can do right now:

Open up any AI/OpenClaw/Hermes. Brain dump everything about yourself and your career/goals/ambitions. Then use this reverse prompt:

"Based on what you know about me and my goals, what is more information I can provide to you in order for you to be able to help me achieve my goals faster and take as much off my plate as possible"

Then once you enter that, prompt this:

"What tasks can you do for me right now to get us closer to our ambitions and goals?"

Guarantee you come up with 100x more things to do with your AI than you thought of before

The more questions you ask your AI, the more you'll learn and the more you'll get done.

[Jonathan G. Chew @JonathanGChew]

@sama TOTALLY agree!!! 💯

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Yeah

[Alex Finn @AlexFinn]

Drop what you're doing. It happened.

ChatGPT 5.5 is out and it beats Opus 4.7 in almost every benchmark

It even beat Mythos in some benchmarks including Terminal-Bench 2.0

This is what you need to do immediately if you want to escape the permanent underclass:

• Download the Codex desktop app and start using this model. Codex now has computer use so it can act as an agent
• Upgrade your OpenClaw to ChatGPT 5.5. A lot of the team has been saying they have been building this model for OpenClaw (I will verify this soon)
• Everything you do on your computer for the next 24 hours, describe it to ChatGPT 5.5 and ask how it can do the task better
• It's by far best in class for knowledge work tasks. Every document, spreadsheet, presentation you create should go through 5.5
• Take a moment and be grateful you are alive during the greatest tech explosion in history

When new tech drops, you have to take advantage of it. That's the only way to win

Put your phone on Do Not Disturb and get to it

[Sam Altman @sama]

GPT-5.5 is here! We hope it's useful to you. I personally like it.

[Jonathan G. Chew @JonathanGChew]

@jameshull WOW! 🤩 this is amazing!!

Word of the Day: Lethologica
The inability to remember a particular word, often on the tip of your tongue. From the Greek lēthē (forgetfulness) and logos (word). The older I get, the more the words slow. Yesterday I wanted 'snarky' and could only come up with 'sarcastic.'

[Kyle Chan @kyleichan]

This Chinese humanoid robot just shattered the world record for a half marathon, finishing in 50 min 26 sec.

This video shows its crash just meters before the finish line where it had to be picked up by a team of humans. The robot is from Honor, the smartphone maker and Huawei spin-off. This robot was teleoperated while others were autonomous. It seems like all the robots had battery swaps along the way.

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

Codex for (almost) everything.

It can now use apps on your Mac, connect to more of your tools, create images, learn from previous actions, remember how you like to work, and take on ongoing and repeatable tasks.
