Start here.

I build AI agents, and the software factories, evals and guardrails that let them ship real code.

My company (CEO & Chief Scientist): https://t.co/YsCZJe4ZqI
My code (DAASH, Petacat, llm-router): https://t.co/Og1BkCuZNq
My essays: https://t.co/FyUeUrGEUk

Each patch keeps Metacat's intent, has an exact repro (input, seed, build, codelet, error) and a script proving the fix. Hundreds of re-recorded runs per fix stay identical.

Checked against 1,319 Metacat runs, 50.6M random decisions, all matched.

Next: v2.0, Training Mode.

abc → abd; xyz → ?

James Marshall's 1999 Metacat solves analogies like this and watches its own thinking.

Petacat v1.3, my Python port, contributes 6 small patches back to Metacat. They fix 7 crashes found in 1.6M+ runs of the original.

@yuvalyeret ...and to question why the organization is using PRs at all.

[Mishkin Berteig @mberteig]

What if AI agents followed the same Agile rules as humans?

DAASH turns a vision into a swarm of agent teams with a Mission Judge, a Quality Judge & a Definition of Done.

2 live runs, 17 tasks, 0 failed, local models only.

ExO for agents, @salimismail ?

@DaveBlundin I think we are still in a place where the choice of programming languages matters for the problem your agents are solving; the high-level architecture decisions are important and not yet something that I would trust to be made by agents without expert human insight... for now.

[Dave Blundin @DaveBlundin]

If I can see that someone’s been examining line by line code, that’s a red flag.

AI management frameworks are suddenly hugely important. They’re a lot like a language, just much broader in scope, and that’s a massive lever. So the mindset of someone who thinks in terms of programming languages is more valuable than ever. It just moved over to agent management and frameworks.

Wow: weight-space editing! https://t.co/Y8BEY3UhJx

[Mishkin Berteig @mberteig]

@felixrieseberg Indeed. What matters: high cognitive abilities, high self-confidence, high openness/conscientiousness, and a massive dose of self-motivation for learning and systems thinking.

@MartyEarthy @alexwg I’m not the worst, but even I gushed at the start… 😬

[Mishkin Berteig @mberteig]

@alexwg I look forward to meeting you in person in a couple of days at Moonshots Live.

[Dr. Alex Wissner-Gross @alexwg]

Moonshots episode #293 is out. https://t.co/AHxznmzlpQ

[Mishkin Berteig @mberteig]

In LA for Moonshots LIVE · Sept 25 · downtown LA. $5M+ in XPRIZE checks handed out live on stage, hosted by @PeterDiamandis. Looking forward to having intelligent conversations about the future of humanity.

@duarte_vasco I disagree with the quote: do you understand the object code produced by a compiler? You -could-, probably if you took the time to learn it, but you don’t go in (typically) and edit the bytes manually.
