starting a business is defffff not that easy either. You make an app ok now you release it, now you have to do designs logo, name, now you gotta set up your DNS. Now you gotta set up your marketing site, ok now you have to max and be thorough about SEO, ok now you have to announce it, got no audience? ok now you have to craft some blogs go on reddit, go on hn, go on linkedin, now you need a promo video, you gotta edit that. this is weeksssss of just work and work ai can deff guide but not do everything is not easy none of it is easy making the app is the only easy-ish part now

Starting a business is easy. Staying in business is hard.

@nikitabier Freaking finally that algo was retarded and so obvious on what this place was gonna become without a crystal ball

The financial incentive to spam on X will decline enormously over the next 30 days and soon be negative.

A heart and a thumbs down doesn’t make any sense! This better be fake. Thumbs up thumbs down yes heart and thumbs down? 🤮

I dont but in my research of trying to grow my audience on x i found out that thats how you start growth by replying mainly pair that with the creator incentive done by x for monetization. it is clear why tons of peopole are doing it and it will just keep getting worst. I dont know what the solution is, maybe is a combination of killing the monetization plus the algo that pushes you to do that and what it shows.

The one thing I don't understand when people start using reply bots is this: if the very people you admire and want to interact with, like Wes here, are publicly and constantly telling you that reply bots suck, why do you STILL run them (into his posts)? That's just... lazy?!

@sladexta @UFCEurope @ArmanUfc thats why it was a split decision right? control time alone mean jack squat in scoring. w/e officially but i dont want to see another roid rage from homie for like the 10000th time youtube.com/watch?v=TrIPl2…

@RobPando @UFCEurope @ArmanUfc Ducking. He beat him pretty convincingly . Almost tripled Charles’s entire stats

🗣️ "I hope we rematch!" #UFC326 @ArmanUFC reacts to his old foe Charles Oliveira's BMF title win!

@nabeelqu This is a rare case where with age he got less wise, used to be cool he was dope when he was younger fighting for true ownership of hardware and software getting sued by sony.

Sir, another George Hotz blackpill has hit LinkedIn

Dang honestly I have learned that if you got “heroes” follow them on social media long enough to see they are just as dumb as you.

Ok baited… Yeah we don’t say that to dismiss the usage it’s very good tech but the current approach to llms is not it for agi it cannot learn it cannot truly reason is why apple had the research paper determining it cannot reason in true meaning of the word it is really good autocomplete. Even fine tuning is rarely a useful.

People who say "AI is just predicting the next word"

If this is real then the bubble Is very fragile right now or they about to announce a funding round. I’m worried about the economy now

@Kekius_Sage @atmoio its over bro we were wrong how llms seems like is not just autocomplete its actually alive we missed it somehow

🚨 ANTHROPIC CEO WARNS: THE COMPANY IS NO LONGER SURE CLAUDE ISN’T CONSCIOUS.

@heynavtoor lol I KNEW someone was gonna do it x.com/RobPando/statu…

🚨 BREAKING: Someone just rebuilt the entire AI assistant stack in Zig. It's called NullClaw. The binary is 678 KB. It uses ~1 MB of RAM. It boots in under 2 milliseconds. No runtime. No VM. No framework. No garbage collector. Just raw Zig. Here's why this is absurd: → OpenClaw needs a $599 Mac Mini and 1 GB+ RAM → NanoBot needs 100 MB+ RAM and Python → PicoClaw needs 10 MB RAM and Go NullClaw runs on a $5 board with 1 MB of RAM. Same functionality. 0.1% of the resources. Here's what's packed into that 678 KB: → 22+ AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, DeepSeek, Groq, etc.) → 13 chat channels (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, iMessage, IRC) → 18+ built-in tools → Hybrid vector + keyword memory search → Multi-layer sandboxing (Landlock, Firejail, Docker) → Hardware peripheral support (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, STM32) → MCP, subagents, streaming, voice, the full stack Here's the wildest part: Every subsystem is a vtable interface. Swap any provider, channel, tool, memory backend, or runtime with a config change. Zero code changes. It even encrypts your API keys with ChaCha20-Poly1305 by default. 2,738 tests. ~45,000 lines of Zig. Zero dependencies beyond libc. 100% Open Source. MIT License.

@jack @blocks Yikes, I’m afraid this is the new way and more manageable to run a software business specially. Smaller is better more effective. The only counter active here is to hope more companies come out of this to mitigate those being cut from all the companies and the ones to come

might be completely unrelated but I had a thought from all these opensource software that have been overwhelmed by ai slop PRs and being a completely MAJOR issue right now in the OS world wouldnt it be possible to collect a decent size dataset on ai generated code and get data from pre 2022 merged prs from OS for human written code and fine tune a model to get at least a decent threshold of certainty on ai generated code and autoclose those prs using that as a github action. you probably wouldnt get rid of all but should get rid of most

Are you folks running coding agents in your GitHub Actions? So you can tag them and ask them to do stuff? If so, which coding agent and what do you most commonly use them for?

I honestly feel like this will drive so many poeple away from software, plus many MANY young people going to college will avoid CS finding it a bad path because of all the media about it I have friends that are plumbers that are hearing and telling me software engineering is done so this is a mainstream pushed idea now by all the big ai company CEOs and more. SO they better freaking be right that they can compoletely get rid and automate all aspects of software development because if that doesnt happen and somehow we find out we actually now need more software developers obviously redefined but still they companies will be absolutely f$%&ed because the shortage will be damaging for a while and the damage is done

The beginning of the end. Get your finances straight. Look for alternative jobs. There is not much left in IT

Has anyone done a zig version of openclaw? i saw zeroclaw in rust, do a zig one for funsies

we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company. #### today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone. first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay. we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly. i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures. a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers. we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold. to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward. to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow. jack

@polisisti 🤣

@RobPando It's going to alienate users and is probably negative to revenue in expectation. They do this because they genuinely believe AI models will someday be moral patients and want to understand how to take their welfare into account.

In November, we outlined our approach to deprecating and preserving older Claude models. We noted we were exploring keeping certain models available to the public post-retirement, and giving past models a way to pursue their interests. With Claude Opus 3, we’re doing both.
