The degree to which you are awed by AI is perfectly correlated with how much you use AI to code.

X is the new newspaper, but it's disorgnaized. I want to fix that. Introducing The New Grok Times.

If @openclaw and @steipete were to release and market "Open Claw Code", it would do very well. More important, it would irritate the legal department at a certain frontier AI lab -- probably without infringing any IP rights. My lawyer helped me write this. /cc @sama

@karpathy You can get surprising utility with one-shot projects based on open data. betteramerica.krishnan.ca bettercanada.krishnan.ca

Something I've been thinking about - I am bullish on people (empowered by AI) increasing the visibility, legibility and accountability of their governments. Historically, it is the governments that act to make society legible (e.g. "Seeing like a state" is the common reference), but with AI, society can dramatically improve its ability to do this in reverse. Government accountability has not been constrained by access (the various branches of government publish an enormous amount of data), it has been constrained by intelligence - the ability to process a lot of raw data, combine it with domain expertise and derive insights. As an example, the 4000-page omnibus bill is "transparent" in principle and in a legal sense, but certainly not in a practical sense for most people. There's a lot more like it: laws, spending bills, federal budgets, freedom of information act responses, lobbying disclosures... Only a few highly trained professionals (investigative journalists) could historically process this information. This bottleneck might dissolve - not only are the professionals further empowered, but a lot more people can participate. Some examples to be precise: Detailed accounting of spending and budgets, diff tracking of legislation, individual voting trends w.r.t. stated positions or speeches, lobbying and influence (e.g. graph of lobbyist -> firm -> client -> legislator -> committee -> vote -> regulation), procurement and contracting, regulatory capture warning lights, judicial and legal patterns, campaign finance... Local governments might be even more interesting because the governed population is smaller so there is less national coverage: city council meetings, decisions around zoning, policing, schools, utilities... Certainly, the same tools can easily cut the other way and it's worth being very mindful of that, but I lean optimistic overall that added participation, transparency and accountability will improve democratic, free societies. (the quoted tweet is half-ish related, but inspired me to post some recent thoughts)

Yes, AI is replacing software developers. But these former software developers are going to dominate whatever fields they choose to pursue next.

An evaluation of Canada's regulations by Milton Friedman and his friends -- we have work to do, but we are better than Europe?!

@christiandean_ This is genius. I've extended to Canada here: bettercanada.krishnan.ca

Merz has called for the systematic review of all EU legislation. That's over 140,000 regulations. Knowing the EU, that will take over 140,000 days. So, I made bettereu.com where Grok 4.1 will review every document since 1958 -> 2025.

@sxmawl Why is half your team fixing lint errors?

we just hired our 25 founding engineers

@xRPGBot @bukati @PublicAPIs 💼

@Jason Would be good if @DavidSacks could listen for more than 15 seconds at a time without interrupting the guest. Maybe do an episode where Sacks interviews himself so he can get it out of his system.

Permission to be candid: what did you think of the last All In episode?

@eyeslasho Depopulation = rotting of infrastructure, which was built and financed on anticipated growth. Can’t talk about technology and ignore roads, bridges, hospitals, schools.

By this logic you should support Biden. The USA was built on a culture of institutional politicians who stay within the bounds of previous norms and traditions. A candidate who is pornstar-adultering, insurrection-promoting, and worshiper of dictators shouldn't be president. Right?

As for tobacco and alcohol, the causal usage of either substance is not nearly as harmful to society. And besides, tobacco and alcohol helped build this country. They’re part of our culture going back centuries. Weed is not and shouldn’t be.

There are many substances that exist in the natural world that you’re not supposed to put in your body. So the “God created it” line is bullshit. Even if alcohol and cigarettes are worse, that still doesn’t mean that weed should be legal. All you’ve done by that logic is add to a problem. And saying that it hasn’t killed anyone is to simply ignore all of the deaths caused by people under the influence. It also ignores the volumes of research showing all kinds of long and short term negative health effects. All you’ve done here is rattle off the most cliched possible list of pothead comebacks and they’re all either incorrect or irrelevant.

@MattWalshBlog What sort of strawman nonsense is this?

@igor_alexandrov @lazaronixon Need more facts to know if he’s right or wrong? How big is the project, how many developers, how much will the team grow, what’s the appetite for tech debt in short term?

The client hired a C-level officer who thinks about how #Ruby is dying, and nobody learns it, so we need to get away from it. I am tired of these conversations, but tomorrow, I have a call. How should I change his mind?

oh hey! a ruby client for @cloudflare workers ai. let’s go!

@GregMolnar @ncameron Honest question: how can one feel comfortable releasing to production without doing this? What do you use instead? I generally use cancancan and test authorization for each endpoint (in addition to testing the Ability business logic)

@ncameron But do you also test that the policies and scopes are applied in the necessary controllers/jobs, etc?

Rails devs, do you ever write any security tests? I mean test cases for authorization for instance like these: "User A can't access User B's account" "User A can't create records in User B's account" etc

@eyeslasho @AntonChigu22554 This could be many things other than Parkinson’s / sickness. 100% shock, 0% value.
