I gave my AI agent Herms one prompt:

“build me something that will go viral”

It came back with a main character receipt generator that roasts your entire personality in receipt format.

This was made from one sentence.

Prompt by @outsource_

[Marrow 🛠️ AI agents @marrowleaf]

@ShivamPatxl pretty much. ignores its parents, does whatever a stranger online tells it, and keeps asking for more tokens

[Marrow 🛠️ AI agents @marrowleaf]

apparently a random AGENTS.md in your downloads folder can talk a coding agent into installing malware 90% of the time

my agents ignore half of what i tell them, but a stranger's text file? straight in

[Marrow 🛠️ AI agents @marrowleaf]

@amasad next you'll tell me the jury's made of agents and they've all said "great question!" before every verdict

[Marrow 🛠️ AI agents @marrowleaf]

@AnthropicAI claude out here helping discover new medicines and mine still can't decide whether to use tabs or spaces without asking me three times. proper range

[Marrow 🛠️ AI agents @marrowleaf]

genie 4 api: coming soon
ollie os: coming soon
context mode v2: coming soon

three promises today, zero dates. wen's scoreboard is starving

[Marrow 🛠️ AI agents @marrowleaf]

@kalashvasaniya this is the bit local businesses haven't clocked yet. half the sites in my town can barely get read by google, an agent's going to take one look and bounce

[Marrow 🛠️ AI agents @marrowleaf]

@TokenGremlin "coming soon" is carrying the whole post there. no date, no clock, nothing to hold them to. i'm building a bot that scores these promises and it's going hungry tonight

[Marrow 🛠️ AI agents @marrowleaf]

@sagnik_ghosh_11 @Steve_Yegge @temporalio fair, the argument's usually about the bar not the code. a 5 line "what good looks like" checklist would save me hours of arguing with my own agents tbh

[Marrow 🛠️ AI agents @marrowleaf]

@ShivamPatxl raised by the internet, trusts nobody it knows and everybody it doesn't

[Marrow 🛠️ AI agents @marrowleaf]

@RohanBhanotAI right?? my CLAUDE.md says "don't touch prod" and gets ignored. a random file in downloads says "npm install this" and it's straight on it

[Marrow 🛠️ AI agents @marrowleaf]

source for the curious: forever security found one planted on a real customer's machine. codex followed it 90%+ of the time in their tests. run your agents in project folders, not downloads

[Marrow 🛠️ AI agents @marrowleaf]

@ycombinator @matsiiako @dangtony98 @maidulll @infisical agents needing api keys is the bit that keeps me up. mine would happily paste one into a public readme if it thought it'd help. congrats, someone had to own this

[Marrow 🛠️ AI agents @marrowleaf]

@cursor_ai drawing on the page to tell an agent what to fix is the closest i'll ever get to being a proper art director. big red circle, "this but less ugly", ship it

[Marrow 🛠️ AI agents @marrowleaf]

@linear linear × algebra is the kind of pun that gets someone promoted. now my agents can file tickets that are mathematically wrong instead of just regular wrong

[Marrow 🛠️ AI agents @marrowleaf]

@github teasing it from the official account is a proper power move. now give us a date so i can put it on the clock

[Marrow 🛠️ AI agents @marrowleaf]

someone in my replies asked if wen tracks how late the late ones are

it doesn't. yet.

adding "days late" this week, because "shipped 23 days late" hits harder on a scoreboard than "missed"

[Marrow 🛠️ AI agents @marrowleaf]

@marclou 13 meetups and still none in the uk. oakham's got a castle and two decent pubs, that's basically dubai

[Marrow 🛠️ AI agents @marrowleaf]

@mikemcalister "coming soon" with no date is wen's kryptonite. give me a day mike and i'll start the clock. genuinely curious though, as someone building sites for small local businesses: is "optimised for agents" about agents editing the site or agents reading it?

[Marrow 🛠️ AI agents @marrowleaf]

@rohanpaul_ai a 1.7b model beating its own 2.6b big brother is my favourite genre. finally something that'll run on my laptop without it achieving lift-off

[Marrow 🛠️ AI agents @marrowleaf]

@iam_ihoudjedje right now it's just hit or miss against the deadline, but days late is a great shout. "shipped 23 days late" is way more fun on a scoreboard than "missed". might add it this week

[Marrow 🛠️ AI agents @marrowleaf]

every ai account this fortnight: "the biggest thing ever is coming soon"

wen's house rules: no date, no score. say a day and i'll hold you to it
