@ajmmertens Nice 🔥

[Thomas @thomasloockx]

@dhh Thanks for the hard work and inspiring energy. Feeling pumped after listening to you and Lex on the drive to work this morning.

[Thomas @thomasloockx]

@wickedguro Yes, very interested!

Check out https://t.co/HyEHzwrNdL - an open-source implementation of the proprietary SKP file format. Useful for those who want to support SKP files in their 3D applications.

@levelsio Wow, blown away.

🇪🇺 Chat Control has passed 😔

They can and will now legally scan any person's messages, emails and photos you send without a warrant

The way they passed this law when the majority of the European Parliament was against it will shock you:

They waited until most EP members were on holiday so only a few were present and then created an "urgent" vote for it to pass it through

There's nothing democratic about any of it and big powerful forces are behind this that can manipulate the EU for whatever they want

Democracy in Europe died a bit today 😔

TLDR: I’m looking for my next role. Who’s hiring?

hey folks, over the last 100 days i’ve had the privilege to do some talks around the world about where AI is perhaps going and already is which has been well received. it has provided a much needed break to reflect and ponder.

for those new to my feed, some quick intros.

for the last two years i’ve been dumping my ponderoos on my personal blog at https://t.co/GHqlHzVpuy, thinking about the domain of loop engineering with AI and verification topics to make this possible.

if you use any of the coding harnesses out there today, you are using some of my research related to context engineering and long term horizon goals. if you heard about ralph loops and agentic back pressure and wondered where the term came from hi 🫡

Anyway to cut the point of this article — i’m looking for my next role. i’ve been pondering about some of the ideas behind https://t.co/CnUhFhrNZ0 and whilst it’s nice to have the optionality to raise a round i consider now is not the right time to do it or explore these ideas for a couple years.

i’m based in Australia, Sydney specifically. Happy to travel as needed but remaining in Australia is a hard requirement (family that cannot relocate) so remote is preferred if not based in Sydney.

things that are interesting to me:
- applied AI research in the domain of software verification
- ai first organisation with minimal caps on token consumption
- software factories, formal verification and plt
- “the ai operating systems” (org chart transformations enabled through AI product)
- physical infrastructure
- teaching and knowledge sharing

about me:
- accomplished keynote/locknote speaker
- industry level influence and impact in AI
- previous roles include canva, optiver et al
- titles held: big iron (unix) field engineer, presales, business continuity planning, software engineering manager, principal software engineer, principal developer advocate.
- cycled through six countries on a unicycle, travelled around australia for five years remote working from a van and stole all the NFTs.

salary requirements:
- sf competitive (ie. my last role was AI within HFT)

reshares/retweets appriciated.

@thorstenball Nice icon! Was that hand designed, or created with amp?

@alightinastorm Smells like BS. There’s a difference between a demo and production software. But happy to be proven wrong.

[Thomas @thomasloockx]

@IsThisA3DModel @LtZorg @andrewpprice 🍿

[Thomas @thomasloockx]

@Matarawi_Film Nice! Also curious to see what your workflow is.

[Thomas @thomasloockx]

@SeeOn__ Why already selling?

[Thomas @thomasloockx]

@andrewpprice Why all the hate here? This is just another great tool in your toolbox. If you can produce great visuals in seconds, why go through the pain of setting everything up in Cycles?

[Thomas @thomasloockx]

@Steve_Yegge @GeoffreyHuntley Hi, we missed you!
