Probably not the normal software founder origin story.

Before Serapis Architecture, I spent 12 years in Navy aviation ordnance.

I was selected as Sailor of the Year, and one of the coolest things that came with it was getting to fly in the aircraft I spent years working on.

Yeah, It was a pretty good day.

@thsottiaux Tibo you're the man!

[Devin Hummel @SerapisArc]

@gavmccloy @thsottiaux What an idea💡 🤔

[Devin Hummel @SerapisArc]

@elonmusk YouTube has no direct competition for horizontal, long-form video. They control a massive 91.4% global market share.

@grok publicly verify this.

@X needs to seize this moment.

YouTube announced they are doubling monetization requirements to 8,000 watch hours for new creators, effectively pulling the ladder up on small channels.

People are looking for an exit. X should offer true ad-revenue splits now to win them over.

@siliconpug @BlakeMileHigh @thsottiaux Indeed

[Devin Hummel @SerapisArc]

@siliconpug @BlakeMileHigh @thsottiaux I went through 2 20x accounts in 1 day each. Yeah it sucks. Been a long week.

@thsottiaux When I first started using Codex, the context window is what blew my mind. It is so well-optimized. It doesn't feel lobotomized at all when theres a compaction. Night and day difference from anthropic. I would never change it.

@nbizmail I thought it was slightly whimsical, It is not the prediction I would have guess though. I assumed Gemini would be the one letting it pass.

[Devin Hummel @SerapisArc]

Sonnet 5 Max: 0

Gemini Pro: 1

[Devin Hummel @SerapisArc]

@thsottiaux Smash it!

[Devin Hummel @SerapisArc]

@LootHunt174918 @melvindvivas That blows 🤷‍♂️ its definitely on codex for me, ive been seeing multiple posts of people in your situation today though. Could be region rollout?

[Devin Hummel @SerapisArc]

Torpedoes or TypeScript?

Both will ruin your day if you mess up 🤷‍♂️

dario amodei everytime an open weight model get released

[Devin Hummel @SerapisArc]

@CardilloSamuel This is too funny 😆 😂

[Devin Hummel @SerapisArc]

@Cisco_research @jelanifuel Anytime

[Devin Hummel @SerapisArc]

@Cisco_research @jelanifuel Yes it gets pushed forward. Terrible logic.

[Devin Hummel @SerapisArc]

@0xsachi This made me almost spit out my coffee haha

[Devin Hummel @SerapisArc]

Now I own Serapis Architecture LLC, an SDVOSB software company.

We build reliable AI/software, secure architecture, compliance tooling, and systems designed to produce actual repeatable outcomes instead of just hoping the AI gets it right.

I post about AI, software, security, GovCon, what we're building, stuff I've learned the hard way, and occasionally whatever I think is funny.

Thats basically the account.
If any of that sounds interesting, follow along.

Then I left that world and somehow ended up in finance.

Financial advisor → network office supervision → eventually a degree in cloud and network engineering.

Pretty weird path.

But I got to see the same problem from completely different industries:

A system can look great on paper and still completely fall apart when real people actually have to use it.
