@BenObeseJecty @picosaurus I agree the army provides an excellent career choice, but they have to stop the farcical regulations. My son is 12 weeks through basic training and gets pulled because he has an acne flare up and now they want to medically discharge him. Crazy rules mean they lose good people.

“At this point I may as well join the Army” It’s hugely telling that both of these unemployed young people specifically mention the Army as a career option that they would rather be unemployed than consider, despite the latter having only two GCSEs. The Army is an incredible career, gives young people fantastic skills and opportunities and is almost unrivalled for social mobility. So with nearly 1 million NEETs why can we not convince young people like these that being in the Army is better than being unemployed?

Further to Blair. Literally every honest sensible person in all the main parties privately agrees with all these propositions: - welfare spending is too high and is throwing good people on the scrapheap - defence spending is too low - the triple lock is unsustainable - without cheap energy we cannot exploit the AI revolution - we should be investing in EVERY form of energy: renewables, nuclear and the North Sea - migration needs to be controlled to boost social cohesion and because the boats look like a huge failure of the state - any new relationship with the EU will be imposed on us until we are stronger and cannot involve the closeness some desire without freedom of movement - we are deeply embedded with America in ways which the public does not understand and cannot be told and however joyous it makes us feel to hate Trump, disengagement at the deep state level is not only wholly unrealistic but also undesirable - Whitehall needs a total overhaul so specific project expertise and political appointees can be brought in quickly Blair basically says all that. The one thing he doesn’t say and which the same group of people agree on is this and it’s something Blair left behind: - judges and quangos have too much power, are unaccountable and without redressing the balance in favour of parliament it is very difficult to do anything big fast - the bare minimum that needs to change in this regard is to reform judicial review and planning law so we can put building and economic growth ahead of newts and NIMBYs None of that above really ought to be up for discussion. It is all common sense but not one of our politicians will publicly say all of it Whatever you think of Blair, engage with what he’s saying not how he makes you feel. The bare minimum we should expect from any leader is that they have an analysis of the current situation and a plan to deal with it which is as coherent and realistic as his intervention. Pretty well every critique I’ve read so far has failed to meet this requirement. Over to Andy and Keir and Kemi and Nigel and Zack and all the others

@0xIlyy All very well until your gui hides results from you. Terminal gives the most transparency and is as close to bare metal for debugging when you don’t get the answers you want.

Fuck your terminal. I don’t want to be typing little magic words in your a black rectangle. Give me a clean UI with good shortcuts, please.

While @nikitabier is on a tear about ripping off other people’s content, it was bizarre to read my own post 12 hours later—not word-for-word—but with enough linguistic tells that it was an obvious copy. I can’t tell if this is an AI rip (impressive) or just good ol’ plagiarism.

10 things I'm seeing on the frontlines of AI adoption in the enterprise: 1. Chat is where 90% of employees still live. It's the gateway drug. Everything else is downstream of getting people comfortable here first. 2. Power users discover Cowork and lose their minds. It's the "wait, it can actually do the work?" moment. 3. Claude Code has very little penetration with non-technical users in the enterprise still. 4. Microsoft being the "approved" tool doesn't matter. Employees route around Copilot and pitch their managers for Claude access on their own. 5. Artifacts in Claude are a breakout feature. People don't want to view them — they want to deploy them, connect them to Snowflake, etc., ship them as internal MVPs for their org to actually use. 6. Cowork is crossing the line from "demo" to "real work." Legal teams redlining contracts. Ops teams running workflows. Then immediately asking: how do I automate this for production? 7. The next unlock → automated cloud workflows that leverage an agent like Claude while keeping non-technical users within the tools they're already using and in a chat interface. The demand is screaming. 8. Terminology is major blocker. Projects vs. skills vs. plugins vs. agents. I've explained "what is a skill" 200+ times. The moment it clicks, people get excited — but the path there is too long. 9. Enterprise IT restrictions (locked connectors, no browser access) quietly strip Cowork of its superpowers. The features that make it magical are the first ones IT disables. 10. There is a high level of "AI insecurity". For the first time in a long time, people at all levels (even C-Suite) need to signifcantly upskill in order to stay world class in their positions, and this is causing people to be insecure about their skill set across the org. General note on Microsoft: I spent a lot of this past week deep in Power Automate and Copilot Studio trying to build an automated solution in the cloud — given it's the native tool with sanctioned access to their org's data. It's ~90% there. But the final 10% is riddled with terrible UX, inconsistent behavior, and a generally poor experience. Honestly feels like Microsoft is fumbling the biggest moment in their company's history with software that has all the features on paper but lacks the magical "just works" moment for non-technical team members. The gap is wide open and they're letting others "eat their lunch" right now.

Hello @karpathy I know that a ton of work went into making this video, but it would be insanely valuable if you make a “Deep dive into AI agents like OpenClaw” or whatever agent tools you’re using now. It was fun listening to you talk a little bit about this on the @NoPriorsPod, but the videos where you’re showing + explaining these concepts are gold.

Just tried the new Claude design. Mind blowing especially for those of us who are hobbled with poor design skills from birth

@chrysb Thank you this is a very comprehensive analysis. Exactly what I need as I try to figure out for my own agent. For now I am storing raw until I figure out the exact approach for synthesis and retrieval.

i've been working on llm memory systems for 3 years and dumped everything i know into this. learn about the 9 axes of memory systems, the 10 most common failure modes, why memory eval is an intractable problem, and more. everyone building with llms should read this.

@jyothiwrites Lovely post. I am fascinated by the human brain analogy (similar concepts discussed in a recent Dwarkesh video).

@rileybrown Will let you know tommorrw…just installed. One point though - don’t just assume the context files can be moved over as Hermes has a different files structure (and limits on file size)

Is Hermes better than OpenClaw or is it yet another psyop on the timeline?
