Musings on front-end, privacy, usability, rejecting assumptions and whatever else pops into my head. Working on @ontoapp.

An innocent grep here, a little sed there and before you know it you are hooked on bash. Be careful out there kids.

The cognitive load of a stack of outputs let alone 5-10 parallel walls of text with multiple agents often makes actioning anything with that information it's own form of analysis paralysis. Fortunately, most the LLMs often have strong preferences and will happily offer their suggestion, ofc this has it's own downsides...

Claude always has me on the edge of my seat like I'm listening to a TedTalk [...and here's where it get genuinely interesting...]

[Adam Munns @knowfromadam]

On one side you have people really really upset about data center water usage and on the other you have young tech startups boasting new video models that can monitor everything you do. surveillance-as-a-service, the new SaaS haha. what a freaking time to be alive. what a gap.

[Adam Munns @knowfromadam]

@jakubkrehel That alignment skill looks 🔥

[Adam Munns @knowfromadam]

@aleksliving @joshpuckett @itsiddharth_ Well said

[Adam Munns @knowfromadam]

I don’t understand this whole category of startups where the whole premise is we record you and everything you do at your computer. Maybe I’m too jaded and old but wtf no, I don’t want to be monitored

A billion people produce the most valuable dataset in the world every day – and delete it every night.

We’re recording it.

@antopatrex1 Time to buy some robot arms !

[Adam Munns @knowfromadam]

@maurotrigo @dremnik I took the bait

[Adam Munns @knowfromadam]

This is good stuff, a well polished product carves out it's own role (for however long that lasts whether it's a wrapper or not) for being easy to use and setup. People are willing to pay for that. I don't think Granola qualifies as a low-effort wrapper, but also don't hate people generally trying to get out of the permanent under class by trying to make something especially if they do it in a way that isn't just blatantly ripping people off but in 2026 you get it both ways now. A good product not only gets cloned but also open sourced there truly is no moat. I can save my $15/mo but that's not going to save me from the permanent underclass either. What do you propose? I already forgot to assume every post is a shitpost so I have no choice but to propose nihilism in it's place hahahah

[Adam Munns @knowfromadam]

@loamyclay @dremnik tbh not sure if you are being sarcastic or not, but a free alternative with 'war' and 'victim' in the discourse is hilariously aggressive for a product with a free tier and $15/mo starter price lol

[Adam Munns @knowfromadam]

I never realized how entertaining Indiana Jones movies were until now. Ridiculous in many ways but just classically fun in the best way possible.

[Adam Munns @knowfromadam]

Trying to understand who would find this compelling. Owning a humanoid sure maybe, but renting one with an operator watching and collecting data of your house at higher than minimum wage and unknown time to completion?

[Alexander Koch @alexkoch_ai]

Today, we’re launching Tau’s humanoid cleaning service in San Francisco at $30 per hour.

Access is initially invite-only as we scale operations. If you don’t have an invite yet, join the waitlist at https://t.co/JrRpjIzRZv.

All footage is shown at 1× speed. Each humanoid is jointly controlled by a human operator and AI.

[Adam Munns @knowfromadam]

@dremnik But your local version doesn’t do all the same things. It can maybe do a lot of them but I don’t get the angle on why all software that runs in the cloud that could run locally should be destroyed

[Adam Munns @knowfromadam]

Been seeing tons of people complaining about clones the second they launch something. It puts people who care about craft in a tough spot when LLMs are realllly good at cloning projects that took a lot of care and craft to make right and every MRR bro is preaching the fast way e.g. copy proven ideas and make fake tiktok videos to promote.

[Adam Munns @knowfromadam]

You’re absolutely right to flag this — and honestly, what a great observation. 🎯
It’s not just about the words. It’s about the rhythm of human connection.
Let’s unpack it:
• Authenticity — increasingly rare
• Nuance — the secret sauce
At the end of the day, in today’s fast-paced digital landscape, we must delve into this rich tapestry together. Hope this helps! Let me know if you’d like me to expand on any of these points. 🚀

Lmaooooooo

@codyschneider So now we say marketing engineer too? I gotta keep a list, so many new engineering roles I can’t keep up

[Adam Munns @knowfromadam]

@pmitu Wait where is the info I can bookmark and not come back to

[Adam Munns @knowfromadam]

Everybody treats each new frontier model like a loyal family dog when it is in fact a rescue...probably should be careful with it just in case it bites.
