Your agent needs a backup channel and a buddy https://t.co/jHJJ0xofD7

Well, it took all weekend but we finally landed in our new spot.

[Bill Watson @xbillwatsonx]

@Abomination81 @JennaX99274 Your attitude sucks. I wouldn't work for you either.

[Bill Watson @xbillwatsonx]

This is a weak evaluation. You should interview them and learn the real reasons instead of degrading and disparaging them. I choose not to live inside. It's a choice. I just don't prefer living inside a house with other (probably unstable, definitely unpredictable) people. I'll work inside, in the ac, any day of the week. But the way home and rent prices are now you have to have roommates unless you already own a house with land. I'm not willing to take that chance again. Good roommates around here are rare and I've been burned by liars and irresponsible people one too many times. I'm not saying a bunch of homeless folks aren't on drugs or irresponsible. I'm just saying, not everyone is homeless for the reasons you think. Dig deeper for the real answers and don't disparage people. That's why you get negative reactions. Empathize with them, try to understand, and you'll do better.

@CliffWade @RockGrokAI She's pretty. But why are her arms so short looking? Great looking character otherwise.

[Bill Watson @xbillwatsonx]

The only place I see innovation going backwards is with memory and gaming consoles. And that's just because they're jacking up the prices, not because there's less innovation. I think they're stifling innovation by doing this but that's not the same as innovation going backwards. Also, it looks like the memory issue is being solved soon anyway. I hope. Indicators look good. China is rapidly ramping up production of standard DRAM. Sk Hynix is building the new hbm stuff. I think we'll be ok.

@PadraigOraghail @ardent__dev Yea I didn't get this statement either. Like, what? My thought was: "Tokens aren't getting more expensive over here. I'm gaining capability every day and still paying the same. What's this person talking about?" Maybe I'm missing something?

[Bill Watson @xbillwatsonx]

Yea that's not good. Developing a comprehensive human led review process is crucial to success. AI isn't smart like they say. It's dumb as a rock. It's just a layered reference database with complex word associations that tricks you into thinking it's intelligent by being able to make understandable sentences that make it sound smart. Sometimes it lands on decent solutions. But it really didn't reason it's way there. It's just guessing the next token based on the weight of the associations.

[Bill Watson @xbillwatsonx]

@ku_ds17868 @ValakX18 I think if someone wants to create complex apps they should develop a learning plan. Get your agent to create tutorials. Instruct it to explain the complicated things as you go. Take a tutorial on security. You can just learn things now.

[Bill Watson @xbillwatsonx]

@ku_ds17868 What if we design a tutorial to help us understand programming as we run into things we don't understand? How does that solution sound? Useful? Stupid? Unnecessary? Required?

[Bill Watson @xbillwatsonx]

@huoshan007 Hey thanks! This might just be perfect for what I'm planning.

[Bill Watson @xbillwatsonx]

@VadimStrizheus I disagree. Marketing is much harder for me than building. To me it's even harder than welding for 10 hours straight in a 100 degree building with zero ventilation. Mostly because I don't know what the heck I'm doing.

[Bill Watson @xbillwatsonx]

@danellisona You shouldn't follow me unless your agent is acting flaky. Or if you want to watch me shoot myself in the foot once or twice a month. 🤣

[Bill Watson @xbillwatsonx]

@alexchain79 @SebastienGllmt Sounds like Omarchy

[Bill Watson @xbillwatsonx]

@SelfMadeMastery You hit the nail right on the head. I had been waiting for generative tools to come out so I could learn to leverage them and now it's here. Things I couldn't do before because of time constraints are now within reach for me.

[Bill Watson @xbillwatsonx]

@Henryf1w Already there. Hey, mind if I borrow your post? It seems to be working.

[Bill Watson @xbillwatsonx]

I'm actually having a hard time believing that I had to give Hermes this instruction.

Hey add this to your start up files as a priority:
Always return a report with proof when any job or task I ask you to do is completely finished.

Apparently he's supposed to return a summary but he hasn't been doing that either. Time for another audit.

[Bill Watson @xbillwatsonx]

Right. It's so much easier. I made Vextris, found out I couldn't run it on my phone or on GitHub, then directed my agents to fix it (I had to specify each parameter). Now anyone can play it on any device. I'm learning. 😁
If you want to try it out I could use some feedback. https://t.co/wU7MG3Yfzo

[Bill Watson @xbillwatsonx]

@danellisona My philosophy; We don't copy other people's work. We either strip down the uselessness to create something more streamlined, or combine elements of different creations to make something new.

[Bill Watson @xbillwatsonx]

@elshayib_ I think one should use personas for things like testing user based experiences virtually. They're very useful for that. Not very useful for creating. I wouldn't go around telling everyone that personas are completely useless. That might not be a good look.

[Bill Watson @xbillwatsonx]

@tonysimons_ It was like this when I first installed OpenClaw. I had crazy ideas back then. I thought OpenClaw was my answer to everything. Nope. Now it's my coordinator and my #1 experience getter because it's easy to break and hard to fix.
