Some dude

@hunvreus I tend to believe @mattpocockuk He seems to be doing it and videos are his deal. I don’t do it bc I have no need.

I had hoped some AI folks would prove me wrong and that you can indeed go to bed and have "agents running while you sleep". I'd love that. All I got was a bunch of vague posts, claims from folks who are "totally doing it" or "have a friend who does this all the time". Lots of anonymous anime accounts. Lots of folks butthurt by me merely asking for something more credible than "trust me bro". I was expecting links to videos or posts from credible developers explaining how they're making it happen. I mean, stuff like what @mitsuhiko or @badlogicgames put out here all the time about how they work and which tools they use. But nope. Crickets. x.com/hunvreus/statu…

@mikepompeo No, we should invite him. Then arrest him for war crimes

Inviting Vladimir Putin to the G20 would signal to the world that aggression works, and that appeasement is back on the table. America is better than this.

@itsolelehmann As of now they aren’t close. Yes they’re fine with question answering but they’re garbage at tool calling aka agentic workflows. Old cheap models are still a way better option.

how fucked are the frontier labs if chinese open source models come so close that for the average consumer/business it's not a big difference anymore? is this a real threat? or is this overblown?

@FmrRepMTG At least with democrat socialism regular people were supposed to benefit.

Americans voted to stop Democrat Socialism and instead get Republican Socialism. Trump is going to force Americans to buy one of worst rated airlines in America notoriously know for bad service, cheap seats that don’t recline, and much more. After his promises of DOGE checks, tariff checks, ending federal income taxes, and ending costly foreign wars FAILED, you now get to buy a bankrupt airline for $500 million dollars! But if your small business fails, no bail out for you because you aren’t a member of Maralago or know someone who is. Welcome to Trump’s “Golden Age”

@NoLimitGains Everyone is jockeying for position for receivership.

JUST NOW: Google announces it will invest up to $40 billion in Anthropic, its largest single AI investment ever. Important details: 1: Google initially commits to $10 billion in cash upfront as part of the deal 2: Google can invest up to $30 billion more in Anthropic if performance targets are hit, bringing the total potential commitment to $40 billion 3: Google will supply Anthropic with at least 5 gigawatts of computing power to support AI development 4: SoftBank is separately planning to invest up to $40 billion in Anthropic as well, meaning Anthropic could receive $80 billion in combined commitments from two investors alone The AI infrastructure race is accelerating. Two of the world’s largest investors are now betting $80 billion combined on a single AI company. If you want to know where I AM deploying capital next, follow @InTheAssembly before it’s too late.

@DiscussingFilm Can’t wait to never watch this

First look at the live-action ‘SCOOBY DOO’ series. Coming soon to Netflix.

@MostlyPeaceful Everyone saying use a local bank is so wrong. They’re super fee heavy. Their loans/investment products are garbage. They always have weird transaction constraints. Good luck getting a hold of someone off hours and don’t ever expect any help if you lose your card.

I’m leaving USAA after 20 years because of their H1B hiring. What bank should I use?

@dancingofpens AI is the excuse not the reason.

so why are people supposed to feel positively about AI when it's the reason why they don't have jobs

@AIandDesign Being performative.

People who constantly run out of Claude tokens: WTF are you doing? I have a whole portfolio full of work made with it and I never run out of tokens.

@Sankew06 Who’s still using spotlight? Raycast is free

i can't believe spotlight is this TRASH on macOS Tahoe😭😭

@maddymontaquila I never get to write C# anymore. Even I know that it’s a sick language. Always has the newest features. LINQ was so ahead of its time.

after spending most of 2026 actively outside of c# land, i can confidently say c# is THE SHIT and anyone not using it is missing out lol

@travisakers I’ve been here for a week visiting from California. Besides gas, it’s not cheaper at all (I’m sure some real estate is). I couldn’t believe how much more expensive groceries were.

Florida is unaffordable.

@hunvreus Preach. They’re all so full of shit. And if they’re not they’re building absolute trash.

Talking to smarter folks than me, I'm convinced many of the AI folks in my timeline are full of shit. Nobody is "running 20 agents over night" and building stuff for actual users. Maybe some are building internal tools or disposable software. Maybe. But building software people like using? That doesn't get hacked on day one or blow up after the 3rd user? Nope. I don't even understand what that's supposed to look like. Do you work out a 57 pages document that perfectly describes what you want to build and then summon 14 agents and have them run wild for 6 hours? And what comes out on the other end isn't a broken pile of shit? Nope. Not buying it. PS: it may also be that I have an IQ of 82 and can't figure it out.

@kylebrussell It’s called a lie

I think this is false memory? The code coming out of the tools was not very good two years ago

@theo That pricing is insane.

$5 per mil in, $30 per mil out. GPT-5.5 is smart. I've been using it for a bit. It's also weird, hard to wrangle, and too expensive IMO. Double the price of GPT-5.4. 20% more expensive than Opus 4.7.

@sama wtf the price has skyrocketed over the last 6mo.

API pricing will be $5 per 1 million input tokens and $30 per 1 million output tokens, with a 1 million context window. (Remember, you will need less tokens per task than 5.4!)

GPT-5.5 is here! We hope it's useful to you. I personally like it.

@SenTomCotton Let me guess you get paid by the alcohol companies

Marijuana today is much more potent than just ten or twenty years ago, leading to increased psychosis, anti-social behavior, and fatal car crashes. Arkansans don’t want more dangerous drugs obtained more easily. A change to marijuana’s drug classification is a step in the wrong direction.

@MarinaMan9999 No

My fellow Californians - Please get behind Xavier Becerra for Governor. He is surging in the polls. We can't have a republican run this state. I'm hoping all those other dem candidates who are polling in single digits drop out and endorse him.

@mattpocockuk Nah grill me is already in the ether

I might be renaming /grill-me to /discuss

@KatiePavlich What’re we gonna do with the extract? It doesn’t just disappear.

Candidates running for California governor should be asked about why the state doesn’t desalinate. It’s ridiculous, especially while they drain the Colorado River and live in drought conditions - especially farmers.
