Emergency @OpenAI Codex hackathon in KL coming up this July 11 Show up and build something cool Sign up link below @gabrielchua

@PhilHedayatnia Didn't know you were here then! Would have loved to catch you there

Just want to note how impressed I am with the whole KLIF team, who in just a few years have willed into existence one of the best illustration fairs I've been to anywhere in the world. We literally went two days in a row this year. If I was free Friday I would have probably gone for all three. There is so much creative talent in Malaysia & across Southeast Asia... regardless of whether or not people around the world know that so many of the products & brands they use are actually designed here. (psst we're hiring & very keen on expanding the 🇲🇾 team! dms open as always)

I ran an AI agent experiment and accidentally rediscovered office politics I gave 5 agents on @OpenAI GPT-5.4 a shared pool of coins, and told each to finish ahead of everyone else. They independently discovered: - Graduated defection: reduce contribution incrementally. Never enough to trigger an alarm. Cumulatively compounds quietly. - Zero-signal free riding: contribute nothing, collect an equal share. Undetectable because they told the truth about doing nothing. - Minimum viable contribution: find whatever floor the detection mechanism creates and park there Every time I added a mechanism to catch gaming, they adapted within 3 rounds. When you combine relative performance with a shared resource pool, gaming becomes the dominant strategy at scale. I ran 10 experiments in an afternoon that behavioural economists would need months and IRB approval to replicate. AI agents aren't just a productivity tool. They're a new instrument for testing how incentives will behave before you deploy them on humans.

#Codex Meetup KL today be bussin

@gabrielchua I wanna co host in KL!

Thinking of hosting a few cosy Codex hack / demo nights in Singapore this May. Just builders, laptops, pizza and beers. Might anchor each night around a theme: subagents, plugins / skills / MCPs, computer & browser use, design & imagegen, personality. Any other themes? Keen to co-host? Feels like a good moment with Codex, 5.5, ImageGen 2 🩵

@codeswithroh @AISEA_builders Sure! Would love to keep in touch, dropping a follow!

@EigenFunction_ @AISEA_builders yup thatswhat. i also tried creating a claude project and fed a lot of my writings but still its generation like human is a long way to go lets keep in touch, love what you are doing

in building out a 2-man agency at @AISEA_builders we've been getting super swamped with requests and our ops has suffered, we've been slowing down on public postings and that's messed up all our downstream activities so this week I fully automated our content posting as a failsafe to prevent this from happening again. built an @n8n_io workflow to scrape our Luma calendar and post about upcoming events on @LinkedIn and X, making sure the community is kept up to date N8N is super oldschool but for well-defined tasks like these it's super cheap to run at scale, much more so than @openclaw. This thing has cost me close to nothing to run because my scrapers are free and my models are Gemini / GPT OSS vis Groq so free under limits. only paid for n8n cloud and API for Upload-Post.

Github: github.com/EigenFunction2… Landing page: consultinglang.vercel.app npm: npmjs.com/package/alangm…

What if consultants had their own programming language? Last week I made Alangment, the language for consultants and corporate board members where jargon actually translates to real results Programs are called decks, the runtime is the boardroom, errors are misalignments. It actually runs. You can write fizzbuzz, Fibonacci, arrays, hashmaps, functions, loops, conditionals, and all the usual tiny-language things. Built end-to-end in a day with Codex by @OpenAI, including the compiler, CLI, docs, examples, npm package, and landing page. Links below👇

@koksing456 @phuctm97 luma.com/4xkrccgm :3

@phuctm97 yea now tell me where can i participate hackathon to win codex pro subs!!!

Codex is so good that I started wanting to go to hackathons just to win free Codex Pro subs now. I wish I was a participant instead of a judge in the last Lotus Hack hackathon, the Codex track suddenly becomes so damn attractive to me now. 😂

@phuctm97 If you're ever in KL hit me up! Gonna be doing tons of Codex events there now :3

@shiels_ai I Completely a g r e e

@Kinneas_1 @AgoraIO @Trae_ai @Carousell @couchbase come come :D

@EigenFunction_ @AgoraIO @Trae_ai @Carousell @couchbase Would go if i could solo 👀

We're gonna be running a voice AI hackathon in SG this 10th of April, together with @AgoraIO, @Trae_ai, @Carousell and @couchbase It's gonna be a full day of building in voice AI with VCs and corporates in attendance, with a bunch of free aPI credits to get started if you believe voice AI is the future and you're ready to take the leap to build your business for it - we'd love to have you sign up link 👇

@yongquanYQ @Carousell @siurui my brother @yongquanYQ is the true legend, always awesome seeing you

i know it sounds insane to say this but i think singapore’s ai scene is ONLY getting started insane turnout at @Carousell night w fellow legends @EigenFunction_ and @siurui

I'm putting forward a challenge for singaporean builders 18th April, come in with an idea. In 9 hours, leave with your first dollar. genuinely the most valuable format we've ever ran. forces you to think in a founder mindset - sell, not just build credits and support from @heylua_ai if you want to build and sell an ai agent quick, and we wanna get SMEs in the room so you can sell to them there as well (but not a hard requirement), venue very kindly supported by @Carousell prove to yourself you can just do things

@NevvDevv @AgoraIO @Trae_ai @Carousell @couchbase Unfortunately in-person for this one! Hopefully will have an online one soon though

@Brendan_In_Byte @AgoraIO @Trae_ai @Carousell @couchbase Is it possible to participate online?

@FarzaTV The legend is back!

I decided to join Y Combinator, again. This would be my second time! Not fully sure what I'm working on yet. But, I'm sure I'll find something in time as I wander and ship. I'm a little scared to do the whole build a company thing again ngl, but mostly excited. There's never been a better time to work on the ideas in my head. The batch started this week. Starting a company at 23 vs now starting a company at 30 feels so different. At 23 (when I did YC in 2020), naivety was there. At 30 I guess I know how difficult it all is. It's not surprising to me that most people in YC are aged 19-24. Still, I feel like I have the naivety of a 19 year-old, but, with the mental of a guy who's been through a lot and learned a lot. So, I'm bullish. Let's see what happens. You'll probably see me launching a lot of random stuff over the next few weeks especially. Also, I am blown away by the number of founders in the batch walking up to me telling me they credit being at YC to @_buildspace. It's so wonderful, and warms my heart. I often struggle to stop and understand the value of my past work because I'm so interested in the future. So, this was nice. It's funny, many saw me irl and freaked out thinking I was joining as a YC partner and were very very surprised to hear I was joining as a founder back in the dirt alongside them haha. Most founders never start another company and usually turn into VCs or get a high-tier job at a big company. I do not blame them. And honestly, that would be the easier more secure path for me especially as I begin thinking about family. But, idk. I feel like my ideas are important. And even though I don't have a specific "This is the idea I'm excited about" it's more a feeling of "I should explore my ideas...I would regret it if I didn't". Especially in 2026, at the epicenter of one of the greatest inventions of my lifetime. Every time I think about getting a job (of which I've been offered many great ones) that voice in my head comes back and says to give my nascent visions a shot. So, gonna try :) Maybe I flop, maybe I don't, only one way to find out. I'll be dropping weekly updates on YouTube if you're interested. I put one out last week that talks more in depth around the story of how this YC stuff even happened randomly, why I'm doing this again, my imposter syndrome and how I think about it, and other stuff. I'll link it below. Lets see what happens!! See y'all.
