Kentegrity AI

I love using Hermes from @NousResearch as my 24/7 AI chief of staff because it's reliable, free, and open source. Here's my new 45-minute free course that covers how to: → Install Hermes safely → Connect Telegram, voice, Google Workspace, and more → Create routines like morning briefing, business review, and health check 📌 Watch the full course now: youtu.be/2ZacwCbiLjg

STOP BUILDING YOUR AI BUSINESS AROUND ONE MODEL. Claude can fail. Hermes can fail. Models can disappear overnight. The real advantage is building a system that keeps working anyway. Inside Our Agent OS: → Hermes Oracle finds trending news and drafts WordPress SEO posts in one click → Hermes Jarvis opens websites and desktop apps through real-time voice commands → Paperclip coordinates Claude, Hermes and OpenClaw as one agent team What Members Are Building: ✓ A 3-layer omnichannel CRM powering travel websites and a mobile app ✓ An SEO workflow that creates the article, images and publishes everything automatically ✓ A co-CEO agent that created a 3-pillar strategy, hired 2 specialist agents and launched a live taskboard The biggest lesson: Stop collecting tools. Pick one core agent, master it, then connect everything through an operating system.

This week Hermes Agent had its biggest update ever It's now by far the most powerful AI agent out there In this video I cover ALL the new features, how to implement them, and how to use them Your entire workflow is about to be 10x more streamlined:

MASSIVE Hermes Agent update over the last few days Totally changes the way I use Hermes Here's 8 new features you need to start using immediately: 1. Native iMessage support: This is by far the easiest way to message Hermes on the go. Totally free to set up. I now use iMessage for quick prompts on the go, Hermes Desktop at home 2. Background agents: Background agents are now on by default. Now you can give Hermes complex prompts and by default Hermes will spin up subagents and put them in the background. Instead of waiting a long time to follow up with your agent while it works, you can immediately message it while background agents work quietly 3. Updated Desktop App: Bunch of new quality of life features in the desktop app including: • pop out chats in their own window • model selector now at bottom • live subagents pane • built in terminal 4. Profile builder in the browser: profiles in Hermes are basically new Hermes agents that work side by side. You should have at least 2 profiles set up so if one goes down, the other can fix it. Never been easier to set up new profiles, type hermes dashboard in your terminal and go to profiles 5. Skills Hub: There's now a skills hub in Hermes dashboard as well. Makes it really easy to browse and install new and popular skills 6. Smarter memory edits: your agent will now self improve way more and with better improvements too. Your agent will constantly write and update new skills as you work 7. Unreal Engine 5.8 MCP: For the first time you can now use AI to build video games in the most popular and powerful engine on Earth: Unreal Engine. Install the MCP in Hermes and you can have your agent build super complex and in depth 3D games. 8. Better Telegram formatting: Hermes now takes advantage of complex formatting in telegram like tables and charts. I like to use Telegram when I'm doing deep work on the go and iMessage when I have quick prompts on the go Excellent updates that have significantly improved the experience. Video showing how to use and set this all up shortly.

Anthropic has been publicly forced to bend the knee to the US government. The ban on Fable and Mythos reads like censorship, and the market will read it as the TAM of the frontier labs collapsing. Instead, I read this as the opposite, as an acceleration event... The government MUST have first access, because this is The Great Game, the game of nations over the most powerful technology ever discovered, and a technological edge of 30 to 60 days is worth everything. It's the same edge the labs already exploit internally. You build your next model with your unreleased frontier tech, never with the public one. That private head start is what keeps you accelerating ahead of the competition or at least in line with them. The US needs that exact advantage now. Before the public, and before the Chinese open source models can copy it. They have no choice. They cannot allow their own technology to be turned against them. What's being negotiated, in the usual outrageous, hard-ball Trump manner, is the new arrangement: Anthropic and OpenAI are free market operators and state vassals at the same time. Nobody wants to curtail their growth. The Gov just wants to be Customer Number 1 with privileged access. This is the East India Company all over again. A private enterprise left free to grow rich and dominant, granted protection and a clear run by the state, on the unspoken condition that it serves the crown's strategic interests first. That charter was the price of the monopoly. It also sends a message to China and everyone else that US AI is now so advanced the state itself has to control it. They won't, not yet anyway. They just want privileged access, the rest is posturing. And Anthropic will bend the knee, very soon... The hidden outcome is the one that matters. The AI firms are now near-explicitly too big to fail, which means the debt funding the capex buildout comes with an implicit state guarantee. That accelerates the build-out of intelligence. It doesn't curtail it... Open source accelerates too, because going open ensures no state can intervene in the model itself. Though the same Great Game rules apply there, and the Chinese state will take its own privileged access first. So the market may wobble, convinced the TAM of AI just collapsed. The real outcome is an acceleration of intelligence, and a Super Cycle that keeps running.

Must read. Very thorough analysis on AI scaling.

I’ve had a number of conversations with folks inside and outside government about the current situation with Anthropic, and here is what I believe to be true: — As we know, Anthropic publicly released its Mythos class models earlier this week under the commercial name Fable. — Fable is Mythos with guardrails. But if those guardrails fail, then you’ve exposed Mythos and its advanced cyber capabilities to people who shouldn’t have them. (Keep in mind that Anthropic itself widely promoted the idea that Mythos was a cyberweapon and needed to be regulated as such. They asked for government regulation of Mythos and championed the guardrails on Fable. If there is a vulnerability — big or small — it is Anthropic’s responsibility to patch.) — A highly credible trusted partner of both Anthropic and the USG who was testing Fable came forward with a jailbreak of those guardrails. The Admin asked Dario to fix the jailbreak or de-deploy the model. Dario refused. — In their blog post, Anthropic defended its decision by saying the jailbreak isn’t serious. That is not what the trusted partner and the USG believe; nor is that kind of minimizing language consistent with Anthropic’s brand as the AI safety company. It’s difficult to fathom how they could claim a jailbreak allowing operability of a cyber weapon could be defined as not “serious.” — In the past, Anthropic has always said that safety must be top priority and taken super seriously. In this case, Anthropic prioritized the continued offering of the consumer model over safety. — In reaction, the Admin issued the export control. The Admin did this reluctantly. It’s been very surprised that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to cooperate with a reasonable safety request (ie fixing the jailbreak issue). Anthropic’s reaction is very much at odds with their branding and ethos as a safe AI research community. — The Admin’s hope now is that Anthropic remediates the safety issue, the export control is lifted, and Fable goes back into general release. The Admin wants all of this to happen as soon as possible. It is frankly bewildered that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to comply with safety requests that it previously said were its highest priority. — Those trying to misdirect and tie this action to the prior DoW/Anthropic issues are wrong. The Admin values Anthropic’s technical capabilities and feels that this issue, while serious, should be easily resolved. The ball is in Anthropic’s court.

@DavidFlagg20 Right there with you David. I cancelled my subscription this week too. It was a beautiful thing while it lasted but as you know the almighty dollar and the powers that be always take precedence and their worldview is “the means justify the end” more money and more power for them

@edgaralandough Nah I picked the first one on purpose

Once men realize that nobody gives a fuck… shit gets fucking interesting and not in the way you think:

Your Sunday is 30 minutes away from being your most productive day of the week.

Sunday question: whats the ONE task you do every week that AI could cut in half?

Most professionals start Monday by "figuring out what to do."

The difference between 'I use AI' and 'I'm the AI person at my company' isn't tools. It's systems. AI agent systems that research, draft, and analyze while you sleep. The professionals getting promoted built systems, not just habits. #AIAgents #SystemsThinking

Most people "use AI" by opening ChatGPT and hoping for the best.

A McKinsey report: professionals who automate ONE repetitive task save an average of 4 hours per week.

If you're not using Custom Instructions in ChatGPT, you're leaving 30 min on the table every day.
