@jon_stokes Clear the context and if that doesn’t work, adjust the effort down and separate what you want done into separate tasks that are test first. Which is what you should probably be doing anyway 😉

Three months ago the same guy was telling the WEF about “AI garbage workslop”

[Brett Caughran @FundamentEdge]

To contrast, this is what Ken said just 3 months ago at WEF:

“There was a recent Harvard paper on this they called it AI work slop — that it looks good but if you sort of peel back the onion, the substance isn't there. I was with one of my colleagues who runs our commodities business, and they handed a report on that we were generating with an AI engine. Doesn't matter what the topic was, the first few sentences — wow, that's really insightful — and then you go down below that and it's all garbage.”

[Robert Mitchell @robertmitchell]

To this “to be blunt, work that we would usually do with people with masters and PhDs in finance over the course of weeks or months being done by AI agents over the course of hours or days.”
From this 🧵👇

[Brett Caughran @FundamentEdge]

A big pivot from Ken Griffin on AI:

“Number one is, in the last few months, there has been a step change in the productivity of the AI toolkit. It is profoundly more powerful than it was just nine months ago.

And for us at Citadel, that has allowed us to unleash a much broader array of use cases for AI. And it has been really interesting to watch, to be blunt, work that we would usually do with people with masters and PhDs in finance over the course of weeks or months being done by AI agents over the course of hours or days.

These are not these are not mid-tier white collar jobs. These are like extraordinarily high skilled jobs being, I'm going to pick a word, automated by agentic AI. And I gotta tell you, I went home one Friday actually fairly depressed by this because you could just see how this was going to have such a dramatic impact on society.

When you witness it in your own four walls, when you see work that used to be man years of work being done in days or weeks, it's like, wow, like that's the first time I've seen real impact in our four walls.”

This echoes my own experience with agents and the conversations I am having with students, friends & clients. The toolkit has dramatically transformed and it feels like in finance, for the first time, AI is real.

@martinvars They just simply don't want to get involved in curating it, which is unfortunate, because if they did it would empower them.
But in any case the most useful use case is for AI to build and maintain scripts.

[Robert Mitchell @robertmitchell]

@martinvars Something I've always noticed with automation is that people have zero patience with it. They're happy to deal with incompetence as long as it's from a human being. But when it's from a piece of software, it's instant drama.

What's the collective noun for AI agents?
Having mulled this over for at least a few moments, I like the idea of " a fleet of agents". Swarm seems too messy for me. My agents are far more ordered than that.

[Robert Mitchell @robertmitchell]

@AYi_AInotes @trq212 I find that context rot is far less of a problem if we stay under 50% of total context. Whatever context management Claude performs, it works better if it has sufficient free context to manage changes in. Also, at times we actively want the agent to ingest context.

@Gavriel_Cohen @NanoClaw_AI At the moment, nanoclaw is a no-brainier.

[Robert Mitchell @robertmitchell]

@NanoClaw_AI @jonathanfishner @summeryue0 Way to go!

[Robert Mitchell @robertmitchell]

@pmarca Isn't this recursive introspection? 🤣

[Robert Mitchell @robertmitchell]

@NanoClaw_AI @Docker I think the real value of nanoclaw is for small businesses.
The ability to delegate tasks like triaging emails, constructing invoices on the fly, updating websites and social media on the go by dictating a conversation into a messaging app is a huge competitive advantage!

[Robert Mitchell @robertmitchell]

Hey @AnthropicAI Whoever suggested the /btw flag on claude code is a genius

[Robert Mitchell @robertmitchell]

@Gavriel_Cohen I have a relatively small code base and I often find myself going over 50% of context with the 1M model.

[Robert Mitchell @robertmitchell]

@andrewchen It's a Bingo!

[Robert Mitchell @robertmitchell]

@Gavriel_Cohen Then what's happening is Stripe is doing the validation on behalf of Google. Google knows that you've passed their KYC tests.
Some cheap Google ads aimed at GitHub users then ties everything up for Google to be confident you're the real deal.
Best of luck!

[Robert Mitchell @robertmitchell]

@Gavriel_Cohen What the purchase path does is tell Google that people are prepared to pay for what you have, so Google begins to care about you because you might be a source of revenue.
Use a donation-based Stripe payment link. It's actually quite simple.

[Robert Mitchell @robertmitchell]

@Gavriel_Cohen I run Nanoclaw on a Linux VPS. I have four Telegram bots that provide calendar updates, handle email triage, run my key workflow, and search for marketing content. I'm moving my workflows over to Nanoclaw. I use Tailscale, and I have switched off Port 22. works like a dream.
