yeah, we were sitting at a coffee shop in vienna, and i said: let's write a shitty python web app framework. armin was like "that's a brilliant idea, but i don't know how to program". so i went ahead and taught armin, which explains the python. the rest is history.

TIL the guys that created pi (which openclaw runs on) created python flask 16 years ago. (@badlogicgames, @mitsuhiko)

Being with someone who is your intellectual match, will become more important than you think.
Be able to have great conversations.
Having a pretty or handsome idiot may seem fun, but as the years pass their early looks shift, and then you're just left with....an idiot.

Major companies are getting pwned by browser extensions and npm packages, but they think deploying AI agents will go fine.
Good luck, have fun.

Steve Jobs never let his kids touch an iPad. Bill Gates banned phones until age 14.
Chris Anderson, ex-Wired editor, called screens "more dangerous than crack."
And I agree. We used to let our oldest use an iPad and saw an increase in behavior issues. We stopped that and don't let our kids use smartphones or iPads.
If they do they're using a Daylight, which is a screen built without blue light. This turns down the addictive factor.
People in tech know exactly what these products do to a developing brain. They literally engineered them to be addictive.
I'm not saying to not let your kids near these things because every situation is different.
But the mounting evidence is damning. If I want my kids' brains to develop in a healthy way, I'm keeping them off til they get older.
Camus@newstart_2024
This MRI study on young kids just exposed something terrifying: They scanned the brains of 60 children aged 3–5 — including 5-year-old Rose — and found interactive screen time is causing measurable loss of white matter in their developing brains. Even just 2 hours a day is linked to impaired neural connectivity, language, and literacy development. Professor Mike Nagel (neuroscientist and father) said his first reaction was simply: “Wow… I was not anticipating seeing anything like that.” We’re physically changing children’s brains before they even start school — and the damage is visible on scans. This one actually unsettled me. I’ve always suspected too much screen time was bad, but seeing real white matter loss in toddlers hits different. Parents of little ones — has this kind of research changed how much screen time you allow?

Men who have 2 orgasms a week have a 50% decreased risk of all-cause mortality.
Sex improves cardiovascular function, increases oxytocin, and lowers inflammation. It's one of the best medicines on the planet.

News from Science@NewsfromScience
U.S. President Donald Trump has fired all 24 members of the National Science Board, the body that oversees the National Science Foundation. Many science advocates see it as the latest step by his administration to erode—some would say destroy—the independence of the 76-year-old research agency. scim.ag/4eGM0YS

if you are the only one who can build this amazing tech and believe it is super dangerous, it’s very easy: you quit for the sake of humanity.
if you are not the only one who can do it, you are definitely over-valued.
you can’t claim to be both.

Wow, Palantir has gone full Nazi.
Palantir@PalantirTech
Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software. 5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed. 6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost. 7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way. 8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. 9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret. 10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed. 11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice. 12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin. 13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet. 14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war. 15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia. 16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn. 17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives. 18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within. 19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all. 20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim. 21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

Your daily reminder that you are so early to AI.
- 84% have never meaningfully touched it
- 16% use a free chatbot occasionally
- 0.3% pay $20/month
- 0.04% use a coding scaffolding
- 0.01% are just like you
You're building orchestrated agents, running models at 2 am, buying hardware, and compounding your advantage every single day.
Meanwhile, 99.9% of people are laughing at Mac mini buyers, OpenClaw users, and home GPU nerds.
If you're part of the 0.01%, you are part of the collective building the infrastructure everyone else will depend on.
The gap is accelerating. Lock in.

Dario is wrong.
He knows absolutely nothing about the effects of technological revolutions on the labor market.
Don't listen to him, Sam, Yoshua, Geoff, or me on this topic.
Listen to economists who have spent their career studying this, like @Ph_Aghion , @erikbryn , @DAcemogluMIT , @amcafee , @davidautor

"It all comes down to compute."
@DAlperovitch from @SilveradoPolicy explains:
"The single most important input to winning is compute the processing power used to train and run AI models. Let me say that plainly, because it is defining that everything that congress and this committee do on AI policy. The binding constraint in this competition is not talent, it is not data, and it is not cash. Both the United States and China have talented researchers and financial resources, and we have learned that frontier models trained on generic data routinely outperform smaller models, trained on more specialized inputs. It all comes down to compute."
