There is a specific kind of intelligence that is almost never celebrated but is consistently effective: the intelligence that recognizes when the game being played is not the game worth playing.

@DisruptionJoe can you share more about number 1? You prefer to code using your own voice, or you mean you want users to speak to your apps? And "structure" means transcription + parsing spoken words wisely? (Claude does AMAZING at this out of the box imo)

Here are some AI workflow updates I’m finding. 1. I prefer voice. voice < forms. Create a skill to structure and draw data from voice answers. 2. Inform your agent you don’t car how it works. Tell it what you want it to do. Tell it when it works a way you don’t like.

Somehow the way this was written—not as an insistence that I DO A THING—but as an intellectual journey.. well, I enjoyed reading it. I read it instead of bookmarking it to ignore it later.

@nickgraynews Hot take, anyone who thinks their time is worth less than $20/hour AND uses CC daily is either - under confident, thus high touch - not the smortest Still, I would do it for 2 weeks to work with smart people

I am hiring $20/hr for 10 hrs/wk If you use Claude Code every day and like to engineer websites You will work on interesting projects like PatronView.com and PersonalWebsites.org Help me and my team solve issues 10-20 hrs per week We pay for your tokens!

@zanehkoch You pulled the raw data, so it was in their study, but they didn't publish (or realize?) this outcome themselves?

for a while i've had a slight fear that the bluetooth from my airpods could be frying my brain this weekend i pulled the raw data from a $30m government study of 1,679 mice blasted with cell phone radiation and reanalyzed it what i found was...not what I expected? 🧵

AI can give you nature Everything is wired so I can tell my AI voice recorder to create a new subdomain on my website—and then it happens when I get home. I told it while climbing mango trees, overlooking mewing baby goats. Didn’t have a phone on me or internet connectivity.

“Some nights I wish my lips could build a castle” - Fun. Sagacious lyrics!

A friend is lamenting the state of creativity today, because of AI. I have used AI to enhance my relationship to every single life domain that naysayers are naying! And I feel so colourfully brimming with creativity I can barely stand it.

This is whats up for today

@benroy I’m curious if you’ve thought about proof of human? I’m going to be committing my daily efforts onto a github repo, hand write my first draft, and take some videos of myself writing them. I agree that an LLM couldn’t write what I’m about to write—but can readers tell?

@benroy I’ve just today started down the path of a long form writing project and I’ve told Claude that I intend to use it for prompting me—then I’ll write—then it will be my editor. I’ll record and share the editing process.

@StaniKulechov I did some COW swapping and it told me the auto-slippage was set to 22%. I was like uhhh, that's weird? But I let it. And it didn't slip that much at all. UIs are confusing. CLIs are not. Internet by CLI. I'm sad I'm even on twitter right now. I should be reading this from term

Earlier today, a user attempted to buy AAVE using $50M USDT through the Aave interface. Given the unusually large size of the single order, the Aave interface, like most trading interfaces, warned the user about extraordinary slippage and required confirmation via a checkbox. The user confirmed the warning on their mobile device and proceeded with the swap, accepting the high slippage, which ultimately resulted in receiving only 324 AAVE in return. The transaction could not be moved forward without the user explicitly accepting the risk through the confirmation checkbox. The CoW Swap routers functioned as intended, and the integration followed standard industry practices. However, while the user was able to proceed with the swap, the final outcome was clearly far from optimal. Events like this do occur in DeFi, but the scale of this transaction was significantly larger than what is typically seen in the space. We sympathize with the user and will try to make a contact with the user and we will return $600K in fees collected from the transaction. The key takeaway is that while DeFi should remain open and permissionless, allowing users to perform transactions freely, there are additional guardrails the industry can build to better protect users. Our team will be investigating ways to improve these safeguards going forward.

@OyaChatApp LLMs know what a human wants--So I'd just make sure to calibrate it to talk to me. Like: Hey, yell at me if I'm asking you to do something insane. Help me calibrate my requests so they are as beneficially to me as possible. Repeat back to me what you're about to do.

This is a good example of why intents should be expressed in human readable natural language, and we should not rely on users correctly understanding a technical UI frontend. We recently ran a mainnet test of Oya commitments that swapped USDC for WETH based on dollar cost averaging, delivering WETH at the current market price in four tranches, with the agent collecting a 0.5% fee. The rules are expressed in a few paragraphs, since the agent must perform multiple swaps over time. A simple swap like this could be expressed in a few sentences. Deposit AUSDT into the commitment, request AAVE at the current USDT/AAVE exchange rate, optionally define what you mean by the current market rate, and include a percentage-based fee for fillers. It would be very hard for the user to misunderstand what they are doing, slippage would not be a concern (since agents can source tokens from anywhere, not a limited onchain pool), and the natural language intention would be enforced by the proposal/dispute mechanism.

@squirrelpnut The sheer irony of this is that tech stocks are literally memes with “wen dividend” switches. Gov tokens were modeled after that!

Governance token could become tradfi equity asset. My take: Across has widespread adoption, but the crypto token valuation system never advanced beyond memes. Equity markets value actual adoption for tech--Even without dividends. Go to where you're treated best

@EricForgy @Yogita_Khatri5 @paradigm @AcrossProtocol Yes, they address that in the proposal too.

@Yogita_Khatri5 @paradigm @AcrossProtocol For that to happen, token holders would have to KYC.

Across Protocol wants to become a private company 👀 @paradigm-backed @AcrossProtocol posted a temperature-check proposal exploring a move from a DAO to a U.S. C-corp where ACX holders could exchange tokens for equity. If approved by the community, holders could either • exchange ACX for equity at a 1:1 ratio, or • redeem tokens for $0.04375 in USDC, a 25% premium to the one-month average price. ACX is already up over 33% since the proposal.

The Bloomsbury Group's offer to us today wasn't any single idea--It was their template for how to respond to an ethical system breaking down around them. That's what we need now. First episode of Negotiable Ground explores how. 🔗open.spotify.com/episode/5IBhpI…
