I think over the next five years I wanna make a positive impact in one of those communities

i've met so many homeless people throughout my life and nine times out of 10 they're all great people, maybe I'm just lucky to have met the ones who are actually in community with each other

@micneeley14 @mitchellh something can be hype worthy and still overhyped, if those two things are irreconcilable to you I would be really cognizant of who I'm surrounding myself with if I were you

[wachowski @notwachowski]

Normal people be like LeBron James or Tom Brady or some shit and I'm over here like the 🐐 is speaking

but real talk, despite the lack of experience and witnessing this directly 100% can see it being the case that this is occurring

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and its impossible to have rational conversations about it with them. I can't name any specific people because they include personal friends I deeply respect, but I worry about how this plays out.

I lived through the great MTBF vs MTTR (mean-time-between-failure vs. mean-time-to-recovery) reckoning of infrastructure during the transition to cloud and cloud automation. All those arguments are rearing their ugly heads again but now its... the whole software development industry (maybe the whole world, really).

It's frightening, because the psychosis folks operate under an almost absolute "MTTR is all you need" mentality: "its fine to ship bugs because the agents will fix them so quickly and at a scale humans can't do!" We learned in infrastructure that MTTR is great but you can't yeet resilient systems entirely.

The main issue is I don't even know how to bring this up to people I know personally, because bringing this topic up leads to immediately dismissals like "no no, it has full test coverage" or "bug reports are going down" or something, which just don't paint the whole picture.

We already learned this lesson once in infrastructure: you can automate yourself into a very resilient catastrophe machine. Systems can appear healthy by local metrics while globally becoming incomprehensible. Bug reports can go down while latent risk explodes. Test coverage can rise while semantic understanding falls. Changes happens so fast that nobody notices the underlying architecture decaying.

I worry.

[ZER @zerqfer]

my OpenClaw woke me up at 3:47 AM with one message:

"found 6 markets resolving in next 90 minutes while US is asleep, need approval for $12K deployment"

i typed "yes" and went back to sleep

woke up to +$43,800

been running an agent that hunts timezone arbitrage for 9 days

never thought it would actually wake me up

the setup:

gave OpenClaw access to global news feeds in different timezones:
> Japanese government RSS
> European parliament calendars
> Australian financial wires
> Middle East flight trackers
> Asian central bank announcements

told it: "find markets that will resolve during US sleep hours (2 AM - 6 AM EST), alert me if edge exceeds 30%"

what happened at 3:47 AM:

agent detected 6 markets resolving between 4 AM - 6 AM across different timezones

all had same pattern:
> crowd priced them like normal markets
> but resolution would happen while americans sleep
> official sources in those countries already showing signals

the alert:

> "Japan rate decision - 68% YES per BOJ leak, polymarket at 23¢"

> "EU emergency vote - live stream shows YES winning, polymarket at 31¢"

> "South Korea policy - government RSS confirmed, polymarket at 19¢"

> "Australia trade deal - minister quoted 2 hours ago, polymarket at 27¢"

> "UAE production cut - OPEC meeting notes public, polymarket at 15¢"

> "Singapore regulation - parliament session live, polymarket at 22¢"

- total edge detected: $43K potential
- window: 90 minutes before
-capital needed: $12,000

my phone buzzed
i opened telegram half asleep
saw "approve or miss"
typed "yes"

closed my eyes

7:30 AM - woke up to notifications:
all 6 markets resolved during asian/european morning

> US traders woke up to already-closed markets
> my positions entered at 15¢-31¢
> all resolved at 95¢-100¢

profit breakdown:

- Japan: $8,200
- EU: $6,900
- Korea: $11,400
- Australia: $7,100
- UAE: $5,800
- Singapore: $4,400

- total: +$43,800

checked the logs:

agent had been watching these markets for 8-14 hours

tracking official sources in real-time

waiting for US to go to sleep

then finding the moment when:
> outcome is basically confirmed overseas
> but US crowd hasn't updated prices
> resolution is imminent

the edge is stupid simple:

polymarket is 70% american traders
world events don't care about EST timezone
while you sleep, markets resolve

am i the only one making money while literally unconscious?

I see ChatGPT ass responses everywhere 😭

My girl best friend told her boyfriend something that lowkey changed how I see relationships.
She said, “I don’t want obedience. I want consideration. I shouldn’t have to beg you to think about how your actions affect me.”
She told him, “You’re allowed to have friends. You’re allowed to go out. You’re allowed to live your life. But if you constantly put yourself in situations that you know would hurt me, that’s not freedom. That’s you choosing yourself over us.”
Then she said something that hit:
“If I have to keep explaining why something disrespects me, it’s not confusion. It’s comfort. You’re comfortable knowing I’ll stay.”
And whew.
She wasn’t yelling. She wasn’t threatening to leave. She was calm. Grounded. Clear.
She told him, “I won’t control you. But I will control what I tolerate. And if I start feeling small in a relationship that’s supposed to feel safe, I’ll remove myself. Not to punish you. To protect me.”
That’s what emotional maturity sounds like.
Not “do what I say.”
But “I see the red flag. I told you it’s red. If you keep walking past it, I’m not dragging you back.”

@anistotle_ this goes so hard also kitty

Tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people creating things based off of ideas they have with very little understanding of how it works and it's becoming more and more ubiquitous. I feel like this is handing a sociopolitical machine gun to a bunch of monkeys

[GREG ISENBERG @gregisenberg]

this is the CLEAREST explanation of "ralph wiggum" on the internet and how you can use it with claude code/amp/etc and have AI agents build software for you 24/7 even while you sleep

[wachowski @notwachowski]

many such cases

@naomirwolf @HiltonHotels does there exist someone, some group, some entity, in which you found it morally correct to dox them?

surely there exists some? people who harm people shouldn't exactly get a free pass to continue doing that.

Pointing to patriarchy as your reason to not have class solidarity… To not even have gender solidarity lol…

[wachowski @notwachowski]

translation: I need a reason to explain why I'm single and why other people are happy, it couldn't possibly be that people overlook superficial flaws that I fixate on and justify for my judgment and distaste for other people's partners

... will abuse psychology as well...
