In AI most people are still trying to use old maps on a new territory.
Throw the maps away. It's time to draw new ones. The only way you can do it is walking the land.
“we likely don't know what the capability ceiling is for modern LLMs because it's too expensive to measure. We should change LLM evaluations to account for that by measuring performance vs tokens, cost, or time.”
The thesis is simple: the future belongs to individuals who build compounding AI systems, not to individuals who use corporate-owned centralized AI tools.
I'm trying to build these in open source so you can have them for free. That's what GBrain is.
this OpenClaw bot watches NASA wildfire satellites. when a fire starts, it finds every at-risk home nearby, renders fire hardening fireproofing upgrade on their actual house, and mails them a postcard, all on autopilot.
here's how contractors in fire zones can close $30k–$60k fireproofing jobs with this:
- pulls live fire detections from NASA FIRMS satellites every 5 minutes
- finds every home in the fire perimeter from public records
- captures the property via Google Street View
- classifies roof type + fire vulnerabilities using AI vision
- generates a NASA satellite image of the neighborhood with real fire hotspots overlaid
- renders a fire hardening retrofit on their actual house
- prints a postcard with the NASA fire map + before/after retrofit + QR code
every step from fire detection to mailbox runs without a human
reply "FIRE" + RT and i'll send you the full guide so you can build this too (must be following so i can DM)
Citadel Securities published this graph showing a strange phenomenon.
Job postings for software engineers are actually seeing a massive spike.
Classic example of the Jevons paradox. When AI makes coding cheaper, companies actually may need a lot more software engineers, not fewer.
When software is cheaper to build, companies naturally want to build a lot more of it. Businesses are now putting software into industries and tools where it was simply too expensive before.
