@alxfazio I would be very grateful if you or someone else would write up a blog post with some of your observations!

[Rory MacLeod @rjmacleod_dev]

@cocktailpeanut @emollick Good point, I’m biased towards dev work but it’s true that’s only a small piece of the pie

[Rory MacLeod @rjmacleod_dev]

@cocktailpeanut @emollick Im skeptical, I think routing is actually a pretty hard judgement problem so I believe problems of moderate complexity benefit from a top down design (architect delegating to workers) rather than the opposite.

@signulll Froyo is back?! Finally ! They can take the boba stores back, I prefer my diabetes in frozen dessert form

In a matter of weeks, U.S. federal AI policy has gone from implausibly libertarian to increasingly draconian and opaque. Today, over 35 distinct observations, I analyze how we got here and offer the most succinct statement I can about what exactly I propose we should do next.

@signulll I always start by making a todo and brain dumping into obsidian, then Claude can basically take things from there

@GergelyOrosz The meta engineers assigned to this project are probably so happy they can actually build something

@fchollet Pasting this tweet in my Claude.md

@neetcode1 What’s your take on the counter argument that loops mean you never look at or understand the code? And relatedly I think the eval step gets under-emphasized. Powerful tool but must be used responsibly

@McReynoldsJoe Apparently I added Emergent Tokyo to my Goodreads Want to Read in 2024 and promptly forgot about it, what a blunder. I’ll pick it up soon!

[Rory MacLeod @rjmacleod_dev]

@McReynoldsJoe Wow instant follow, keep preaching brotha

[Rory MacLeod @rjmacleod_dev]

@VictorTaelin It was bound to happen just happened sooner than later. The frontier will not be for the people.

[Rory MacLeod @rjmacleod_dev]

@GergelyOrosz If companies like Sakana can actually nail creating a consistent frontier model-like experience through routing, with a product layer and without being dependent on a single provider, it will be super game changing

[Rory MacLeod @rjmacleod_dev]

@NousResearch @GergelyOrosz I love Hermes agent but is it enterprise ready? Feel like it would keep the DevSecOps folks pretty busy

[Rory MacLeod @rjmacleod_dev]

@zeeg It doesn’t have any mechanism from removing itself from the fridge once you put it there

[Rory MacLeod @rjmacleod_dev]

@TheZvi Is there much upside for OpenAI here or is this just “everyone loses”

[Rory MacLeod @rjmacleod_dev]

@sama @AndrewMayne But have you patched out the dangerous exploit “fix this code”

[Rory MacLeod @rjmacleod_dev]

@kimmonismus If reports of Anthropic becoming profitable soon are true, it feels like we might be on trajectory for a no-bubble or soft-pop situation. If there are geopolitical events that hurt supply though, or something shady with the finances that is yet to be exposed, that could change.

[Rory MacLeod @rjmacleod_dev]

@dbenyamin @petergyang @paulg Yeah I need text. And maybe a diagram. The modern equivalent of discussing something in front of a blackboard.

@bryan_johnson Hardest one for me is eating 4 hours before sleep, that basically means my last meal is before I even get home from work. I can barely manage 2 hours sometimes
