creation is humanity's stand against entropy

fable seems much better at introspection and understanding implied meaning than previous generations of models. I can copy a sentence back to it and say "what did you get wrong with this assertion", and it's self-corrected super effectively every time so far

@0xCharlota have multiple sessions open working simultaneously, and while one is working I go and answer the others. but annoyingly while that increases productivity it doesn't lead to flow as much

@AnthropicAI let the games begin

@avgaydashenko this is awesome - thank you for writing!

[mattboustred @mattboustred]

@BennyKokMusic even though I know vps is probably smarter choice, there's something i like aesthetically about having my agents running on an always on mac mini

@paulg education is built around measuring the artifact, i.e. the essay, rather than the outcome, i.e. is the student learning to think? AI makes producing the artifact trivially easy at the cost of the outcome

[mattboustred @mattboustred]

@joshmanders @bcherny i'd love to know where these claude-isms come from in the training data - is it how a significant number of people write or some kind of weird emergent property?

@0xMoysei karpathy is a gift that keeps on giving

@thenanyu connecting Claude to Posthog, Supabase, Slack and using it to understand your users better was a massive recent unlock for me. been using CC and OpenClaw heaps but the ease of following hunches in the data through claude has surprised me with how enjoyable and powerful it is

[mattboustred @mattboustred]

Apple’s rotating background where every hour it shows a new photo has made me want to use my phone again. such an enjoyable experience seeing different memories pop up.

sometimes the most important feature decisions are about the experience, not the capabilities

[mattboustred @mattboustred]

Honestly they all go so hard

[mattboustred @mattboustred]

@levelsio Next unlock is treating yourself like an LLM… protect your context window, clear it deliberately (meditation), fight the urge to dopamine hunt by switching tasks/consuming unnecessarily

The analogy holds disturbingly well

[mattboustred @mattboustred]

two years of daily chat taught me less about AI than two months with claude code

two months with claude code taught me less than 2 weeks with OpenClaw

the mechanism gets more visible as the tool gets more powerful. that's where the learning is

[mattboustred @mattboustred]

four years as CEO, I never wrote a line of production code.

two months ago I shipped our entire Prompt Cowboy rebuild - frontend, backend - mostly alone.

the gap between idea and execution used to require a person. now it requires persistence.

[mattboustred @mattboustred]

a lot of normie (mainstream) talk of an AI bubble, but today felt like living in the future.

if that isn't the promised land I don't know what is.

@marcas_daniel curious where you found your chef? I’m in Bali atm and was looking into this to be able to lock in with no distractions, but gave up after we weren’t able to find someone decent and realised all the restaurants over here are pretty affordable anyway

[mattboustred @mattboustred]

@mattpocockuk this is dope - will have to try it out

[mattboustred @mattboustred]

has anyone nailed the figma > code workflow? having so many issues pulling figma designs out for our webapp even when everything is properly tokenised and designed...

so much easier to just vibe it out straight into code with cursor

[mattboustred @mattboustred]

@denny_zhou also clearly written by AI…
