@patrickc AI is the only effective way to conquer the vastness of space. Once our current internal issues are solved we will turn outward towards new horizons to find meaning. We may still have a role to play

@humphreybc Very common name

[Manning Blackall @ManningBlackall]

@levelsio If you're in Japan soon, would love to go for a walk!

[Manning Blackall @ManningBlackall]

@humphreybc Yes, you need it for data. The only moat remaining for vertical SaaS will be the domain-specific data you have

[Manning Blackall @ManningBlackall]

this full bar is the best format by the way. I don't see any sense in having a tiny icon that opens a modal to search

[Manning Blackall @ManningBlackall]

There seems to be a war at Anthropic about where to put the search button/bar in Claude Code. Seems like I find it in a new location every few days.

@gabriel1 You fall back on the hobbies you know. Today's elderly are still playing boardgames and building train sets.

It will grow massively once the first waves of those exposed to gaming (like Millenials) start entering into retirement

@d4m1n to avoid directly competing with SpaceXAI, who provides 30% of their inference compute

@benjitaylor Will we get access to Team Bots outside of a Slack integration?

[Manning Blackall @ManningBlackall]

if people are decompiling games with Opus left and right, what's stopping them from decompiling software they use or want to fork?

will this be a new moral panic that AI companies will use to justify new technical safeguards?

[banteg @banteg]

wait, i blinked and it's 25.65% now, but actually that's more like 53.7% game logic and 62.2% engine code, because we don't need the platform crap or libraries, as we would replace them at the seams.

This came to me in a vision

@0bNARA One can dream

[Manning Blackall @ManningBlackall]

@jcinjpn Hell yeah brother

[Manning Blackall @ManningBlackall]

Add webhook support or push-based triggers. Find myself asking for lots of routines in order to support chat bot-like behaviour in messaging apps or group chats.

Add chat component to visualise task progression (like timeline or checklist) to avoid chat spam for long tasks.

Usage gets eaten up way too fast. My experience is that Grok Bot consumes $50 usage credits per hour.

This might be because computer use is flaky for complex browser-based apps (no MCP or API) and seems heavy/expensive.

[Manning Blackall @ManningBlackall]

I like the homepage but I feel like the hero is too flat/bland for a social media SaaS. Maybe a few floating blocks and some colour/animated elements would make it more attractive:

Think it's a tad too compressed too, could move the trusted by section down to give the two CTA buttons more breathing room.

[Manning Blackall @ManningBlackall]

@jcinjpn They do. They use vision and microphone to detect emergencies and pull over. Waymo's implementation is just not very good

[Manning Blackall @ManningBlackall]

@renemaria_02 I was this recently too. The brickwork is fantastic!

[Manning Blackall @ManningBlackall]

@levelsio In Japan they have a lot of these pop open wall vents that exchange air. Still need to measure to see if they provide enough fresh air with windows closed

@dvassallo Work on your neck

@alexalbert__ The desktop app has an issue with preserving numbered lists. In the editor, this message shows as item 3, but it is sent as 1 (order resets).
