I designed the Problem Solving Journey framework to help pinpoint the right problems — so AI can solve them faster (without taking over the world).

Judging by my tl there is a growing gap in understanding of AI capability. The first issue I think is around recency and tier of use. I think a lot of people tried the free tier of ChatGPT somewhere last year and allowed it to inform their views on AI a little too much. This is a group of reactions laughing at various quirks of the models, hallucinations, etc. Yes I also saw the viral videos of OpenAI's Advanced Voice mode fumbling simple queries like "should I drive or walk to the carwash". The thing is that these free and old/deprecated models don't reflect the capability in the latest round of state of the art agentic models of this year, especially OpenAI Codex and Claude Code. But that brings me to the second issue. Even if people paid $200/month to use the state of the art models, a lot of the capabilities are relatively "peaky" in highly technical areas. Typical queries around search, writing, advice, etc. are *not* the domain that has made the most noticeable and dramatic strides in capability. Partly, this is due to the technical details of reinforcement learning and its use of verifiable rewards. But partly, it's also because these use cases are not sufficiently prioritized by the companies in their hillclimbing because they don't lead to as much $$$ value. The goldmines are elsewhere, and the focus comes along. So that brings me to the second group of people, who *both* 1) pay for and use the state of the art frontier agentic models (OpenAI Codex / Claude Code) and 2) do so professionally in technical domains like programming, math and research. This group of people is subject to the highest amount of "AI Psychosis" because the recent improvements in these domains as of this year have been nothing short of staggering. When you hand a computer terminal to one of these models, you can now watch them melt programming problems that you'd normally expect to take days/weeks of work. It's this second group of people that assigns a much greater gravity to the capabilities, their slope, and various cyber-related repercussions. TLDR the people in these two groups are speaking past each other. It really is simultaneously the case that OpenAI's free and I think slightly orphaned (?) "Advanced Voice Mode" will fumble the dumbest questions in your Instagram's reels and *at the same time*, OpenAI's highest-tier and paid Codex model will go off for 1 hour to coherently restructure an entire code base, or find and exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems. This part really works and has made dramatic strides because 2 properties: 1) these domains offer explicit reward functions that are verifiable meaning they are easily amenable to reinforcement learning training (e.g. unit tests passed yes or no, in contrast to writing, which is much harder to explicitly judge), but also 2) they are a lot more valuable in b2b settings, meaning that the biggest fraction of the team is focused on improving them. So here we are.

@steipete @aiDotEngineer @steipete I have to ask. When can we get official lobster merchandise for OpenClaw? I believe I am not the only one who wants to get some.

Hermes Agent now comes packaged with Karpathy's LLM-Wiki for creating knowledgebases and research vaults with Obsidian! In just a short bit of time Hermes created a large body of research work from studying the web, code, and our papers to create this knowledge base around all of Nous' projects. Just `hermes update` and type /llm-wiki in a new message or session to begin :) github.com/NousResearch/h…

My friend Milla Jovovich and I spent months creating an AI memory system with Claude. It just posted a perfect score on the standard benchmark - beating every product in the space, free or paid. It's called MemPalace, and it works nothing like anything else out there. Instead of sending your data to a background agent in the cloud, it mines your conversations locally and organizes them into a palace - a structured architecture with wings, halls, and rooms that mirrors how human memory actually works. Here is what that gets you: → Your AI knows who you are before you type a single word - family, projects, preferences, loaded in ~120 tokens → Palace architecture organizes memories by domain and type - not a flat list of facts, a navigable structure → Semantic search across months of conversations finds the answer in position 1 or 2 → AAAK compression fits your entire life context into 120 tokens - 30x lossless compression any LLM reads natively → Contradiction detection catches wrong names, wrong pronouns, wrong ages before you ever see them The benchmarks: 100% recall on LongMemEval — first perfect score ever recorded. 500/500 questions. Every question type at 100%. 92.9% on ConvoMem — more than 2x Mem0's score. 100% on LoCoMo — every multi-hop reasoning category, including temporal inference which stumps most systems. No API key. No cloud. No subscription. One dependency. Runs on your machine. Your memories never leave. MIT License. 100% Open Source. github.com/milla-jovovich…

I reinstalled Instagram for 24 hours after several years away. I can confidently say this is the most evil app ever made. If I wanted to destroy attention spans, consume every free moment they had, and poison their minds with bad info, I would literally invent Instagram. Delete.

Love letter to @obsdmd to which I very happily switched to for my personal notes. My primary interest in Obsidian is not even for note taking specifically, it is that Obsidian is around the state of the art of a philosophy of software and what it could be. - Your notes are simple plain-text markdown files stored locally on your computer. Obsidian is just UI/UX sugar of pretty rendering and editing files. - Extensive plugins ecosystem and very high composability with any other tools you wish to use because again it's all just plain-text files on your disk. - For a fee to cover server costs, you can also Sync (with end-to-end encryption) and/or Publish your files. Or you can use anything else e.g. GitHub, it's just files go nuts. - There are no attempts to "lock you in", actually as far as I can tell Obsidian is completely free of any user-hostile dark patterns. For some more depth, I recommend the following writing from CEO @kepano: - "File over app" stephango.com/file-over-app . If you want to create digital artifacts that last, they must be files you can control, in formats that are easy to retrieve and read. Accept that all software is ephemeral, and give people ownership over their data. - "100% user-supported" stephango.com/vcware . On incentives alignment. - "Quality software deserves your hard‑earned cash" stephango.com/quality-softwa… TLDR: This is what software could be: private, secure, delightful, free of dark patterns, fully aligned with the user, where you retain full control and ownership of your data in simple, universal formats, and where tools can be extended and composed.

I think one of the biggest challenges when it comes to going hard into using AI is loneliness I am learning all these awesome things and becoming super capable But the set of people that I can really talk to about it is very small Is anyone else having this experience?

"AI makes everyone a developer" is true the same way "cameras makes everyone a photographer"

People keep posting their “one-shot AI results” like it’s magic: type one prompt, get something brilliant. It’s not. It’s a highlight reel dressed up as a workflow, and it’s misleading everyone who’s just getting started. The reality is that good work still depends on choosing the right direction and iteration. Deciding which direction to pursue, which output to retain, and which path to follow all come from you.

OpenClaw is not for everyone, and that's a good thing. open.substack.com/pub/belimad/p/… @openclaw

@cathrynlavery @claudeai @cathrynlavery Just wondering, any overlaps between your skill and the codex plugin that is available for install in Claude Code? Like /codex:adversarial-review from the codex plugin. github.com/cathrynlavery/…

What if @claudeai could get a second opinion before writing your code? I made Claude Code automatically consult OpenAI's Codex before approving any plan. Two competing models reviewing each other = way better output. Just updated the skill with @OpenAI 5.4 model. link below.

"Using coding agents well is taking every inch of my 25 years of experience as a software engineer, and it is mentally exhausting. I can fire up four agents in parallel and have them work on four different problems, and by 11am I am wiped out for the day. There is a limit on human cognition. Even if you're not reviewing everything they're doing, how much you can hold in your head at one time. There's a sort of personal skill that we have to learn, which is finding our new limits. What is a responsible way for us to not burn out, and for us to use the time that we have?" @simonw

@andreiman87 @steipete i approve this message. bcause i am also guilty of checking "what time it is it's already 3 o'clock in the morning." It's all @steipete 's fault.

@steipete This whole Agentic shit is worse than crack. I've never tried crack but still, I see myself saying I'll just stay a bit longer and then when I check what time it is it's already 3 o'clock in the morning.

@dexhorthy This QRSPI is so beautiful. I shed a tear in joy knowing people actually do this, like do it this way (shown in diagram).

@kayintveen @openclaw @kayintveen I posted this link earlier: x.com/romainhuet/sta… It's basically the Codex Plugin for Claude Code.

@rickylim @openclaw Malaysia OpenClawers is a thing now, love it 🇲🇾 what's the plugin?

@4shadowed @4shadowed Just saying, that I started moving over my workflow to discord for OpenClaw because of this post. Just wanted to give you acknowledgement that your efforts made a positive impact. Don't stop.

If you didn't know, I wrote the library (called Carbon) that OpenClaw uses to connect to Discord from scratch in 2024-2025. For the reconnect fix, I ended up rewriting how Carbon handles the entire gateway connection to Discord, so you should have a much more stable experience!
