folks who are calling @openclaw pure hype are telling on themselves openclaw is like the early internet, it's raw, unrefined, and takes a little doing to get things to work, but when you figure it out, it's transformative. here are some real use cases that are having material impact on our $2.5M ARR business: 1. ad creative pipeline. our head of growth @ArjunShukl95550 built an end-to-end creative pipeline to go from ideation to publish adds to meta, greatly increasing our creative iteration speed. it's producing winning creatives. it lives in slack, and anyone on the team can share their ideas and have them enter the pipeline. 2. data analytics agent. another bot lives in our slack that connects to bigquery and lets our team ask any questions of the data, it produces charts and answers questions in real time. no one needs to write SQL anymore. 3. recruiting. i told my agent about a role we're hiring for, and it scoured linkedin and the web, found 30 candidates, portfolio, email addresses, and stack ranked them based on fit with our criteria this is just in the past week. i have twenty more success stories for you i can share another time. you have to understand, this is the shittiest it will ever be. everyone is going to have one or more personal self-improving agents that they use every day, and openclaw is what revealed this future to us. if you can't see this, i encourage you to look harder there will be many competitors (and already are), and the large labs will start to converge on this (they already are) too. openclaw may not win, but it opened pandora's box and uncorked the agentic future.

Agentic capability is improving fast. We believe Proof of Human is becoming critical for the internet and many of the platforms we use (like X). This paper explains why FaceID, face biometrics & government IDs won’t solve the problem, and what properties are most important.

I couldn't agree more! The future is exactly like this.
Andrej Karpathy@karpathy

Very interested in what the coming era of highly bespoke software might look like. Example from this morning - I've become a bit loosy goosy with my cardio recently so I decided to do a more srs, regimented experiment to try to lower my Resting Heart Rate from 50 -> 45, over experiment duration of 8 weeks. The primary way to do this is to aspire to a certain sum total minute goals in Zone 2 cardio and 1 HIIT/week. 1 hour later I vibe coded this super custom dashboard for this very specific experiment that shows me how I'm tracking. Claude had to reverse engineer the Woodway treadmill cloud API to pull raw data, process, filter, debug it and create a web UI frontend to track the experiment. It wasn't a fully smooth experience and I had to notice and ask to fix bugs e.g. it screwed up metric vs. imperial system units and it screwed up on the calendar matching up days to dates etc. But I still feel like the overall direction is clear: 1) There will never be (and shouldn't be) a specific app on the app store for this kind of thing. I shouldn't have to look for, download and use some kind of a "Cardio experiment tracker", when this thing is ~300 lines of code that an LLM agent will give you in seconds. The idea of an "app store" of a long tail of discrete set of apps you choose from feels somehow wrong and outdated when LLM agents can improvise the app on the spot and just for you. 2) Second, the industry has to reconfigure into a set of services of sensors and actuators with agent native ergonomics. My Woodway treadmill is a sensor - it turns physical state into digital knowledge. It shouldn't maintain some human-readable frontend and my LLM agent shouldn't have to reverse engineer it, it should be an API/CLI easily usable by my agent. I'm a little bit disappointed (and my timelines are correspondingly slower) with how slowly this progression is happening in the industry overall. 99% of products/services still don't have an AI-native CLI yet. 99% of products/services maintain .html/.css docs like I won't immediately look for how to copy paste the whole thing to my agent to get something done. They give you a list of instructions on a webpage to open this or that url and click here or there to do a thing. In 2026. What am I a computer? You do it. Or have my agent do it. So anyway today I am impressed that this random thing took 1 hour (it would have been ~10 hours 2 years ago). But what excites me more is thinking through how this really should have been 1 minute tops. What has to be in place so that it would be 1 minute? So that I could simply say "Hi can you help me track my cardio over the next 8 weeks", and after a very brief Q&A the app would be up. The AI would already have a lot personal context, it would gather the extra needed data, it would reference and search related skill libraries, and maintain all my little apps/automations. TLDR the "app store" of a set of discrete apps that you choose from is an increasingly outdated concept all by itself. The future are services of AI-native sensors & actuators orchestrated via LLM glue into highly custom, ephemeral apps. It's just not here yet.

In summary, the outcome set in the article will not occur. Of course, the author is not making a prediction, so the perspective of writing from the future to the present is adopted.

I would rather regard this article as a clarion call to arouse everyone's in-depth thinking. From a simple economic or financial perspective, the conclusion that the great prosperity of AI leads to regression seems reasonable. But in fact, the following points, as basic premise
Citrini@citrini

I spent 100 hours over the past week researching, writing and editing the piece we just put out. It’s a scenario, not a prediction like most of our work. But it was rigorously constructed, dismissing it outright requires the kind of intellectual laziness that tends to get expensive. And we’ve released it for free. Hopefully you enjoy it. citriniresearch.com/p/2028gic

Third, even if we extend the time frame, when AI poses a so - called threat to humanity, humans (individual organizations, individual companies, and armored humans within individual institutions) will surely collude to delay this process.

First, as long as humans can breathe and walk, they will continuously create new needs, so there is no need to worry at all about the lack of consumer demand at that time. Second, the two-year cycle set for the entire article is too short, which is simply impossible.

But in fact, the following points, as basic premises, have been overlooked. Therefore, I object to the conclusion of this article, and the outcome will be completely different from what this article predicts.

Sleeping 4 hours will kill you. But so will sleeping 11. Too little sleep triggers inflammation and weakens your immune system. Too much sleep can be a sign of something else: fragmented sleep where your body is in bed but never fully recovering. Every hour away from 7 raises the risk of death. You don't need more sleep. You need the right amount.

Google isn’t trying to win the AI race. They’re trying to own the entire AI Agent ecosystem. While everyone argues ChatGPT vs Claude, Google quietly built: Models → Gemini Pro, Flash, Deep Think, Gemma Design → Stitch, Whisk, Imagen Research → NotebookLM, AI Mode Video → Veo, Flow, Google Vids Coding → Antigravity IDE, Gemini CLI, Jules Agents → A2A, ADK, FileSearch API The scary part? All of these tools talk to each other. That means: 10x faster prototypes End-to-end AI workflows Production-ready agents on GCP The next AI war won’t be model vs model. It’ll be ecosystem vs ecosystem. Save. Share. Build.

A Stanford professor analyzed 1,000's of angel investments to find out who's had the MOST unicorns. The results are fascinating. - David Morin tops the list with 23 unicorns - Peter Thiel and Lee Linden follow with 21 each - David Sacks at 20 - Marc Benioff at 19 A few things that stand out: 1) Almost every top angel was a founder or exec at a large tech company first. The clear signal here - they were mostly operators who earned their access. 2) Many co-invested together repeatedly. Thiel, Sacks, and Levchin all overlapped at PayPal and went on to back the same unicorns (Facebook, Airbnb, Palantir Technologies, SpaceX). 3) No women appear in the top 50. Sad. 4) The entry threshold to make this list is 9 unicorns (nuts!). The average unicorns across the top 50 is 13 (more nuts!). I share this for folks to have inspiration to angel invest themselves! There has NEVER been a better time - we are at a major tech inflection point. If you're thinking about angel investing and forming angel syndicates, you should check out Verivend. Automated capital calls, one-click funding for co-investors, real-time visibility into who's in. Seamless software with a great team to hold your hand through it. Try it yourself: lnkd.in/grrJxqxq Full credit to Ilya Strebulaev and his team at the Stanford for this research.

Not all AI agents are built the same. So what sets them apart? Here’s a breakdown of 10 core types of AI agents you’ll come across in real-world systems, from simple reactive agents to complex multi-agent systems. 1. Task-Specific AI Agent Built for one focused task like summarizing or translating. It follows a fixed process with no learning or adaptation. 2. Reactive Agent Responds to immediate input without using memory or history. Think of it like a reflex - it reacts, not plans. 3. Model-Based Agent Builds an internal map of its environment. Simulates outcomes before acting to make smarter, context-aware decisions. 4. Goal-Based Agent Starts with a goal and works backward. It plans steps, simulates paths, and selects the route that achieves the goal. 5. Utility-Based Agent Chooses actions based on how beneficial they are. It weighs all options and picks the one with the highest value. 6. Learning Agent Improves over time by learning from past actions. Adjusts its strategy using feedback and stores new knowledge. 7. Planning Agent Focuses on long-term strategy. It defines a goal, maps out steps, and adjusts based on progress not just reaction. 8. Reflex Agent with Memory Uses preset rules but with added memory of past inputs. Helps respond better when situations repeat or evolve. 9. Multi-Agent System Agent Works with or against other agents. They share environments, negotiate roles, and coordinate to reach a bigger goal. 10. Rational Agent Always selects the most logical option. It analyzes the full picture, predicts outcomes, and chooses the smartest path. Save this if you're exploring Agentic AI or designing intelligent decision-making systems.

Yesterday I drove my new car home; today I secured a $119,000+ profit. A reminder that focus, patience, and consistency truly pay off when you trust the process. Grateful to my coach @CoachKendra0 for the guidance none of this was accidental. 📈

Patrick Collison on what changes when biology becomes programmable: "We, humanity, have never cured a complex disease." "Most cardiovascular disease, most cancers, most autoimmune disease, most neurodegenerative disease... For none of them can we really say that we've cured it, that we understand the causal pathways in meaningful detail." "Then over the last 10 ish years... we’ve gotten three new classes of technology in biology." "If you put those together, you now have the ability… to read, think, and to write. And this starts to really feel like a new kind of Turing loop." @patrickc with @mntruell

Polymaths will dominate the next 5 years, but only if they practice the skill of knowing what to ignore. You can learn and do anything now, meaning that it will become increasingly rare for a person to put time, attention, and care into one thing.

Grokipedia is growing like kelp on steroids 😂 Please check Grokipedia.com articles you know something about and suggest edits for accuracy. Would be much appreciated. This will be by far most comprehensive open source, no copyright distillation of knowledge.
DogeDesigner@cb_doge

BREAKING: Grokipedia just recorded a 61.82% increase in unique visitors as compared to previous month. That means the audience itself grew by nearly two thirds . The website is reaching way more people than before, as per @Similarweb
