I don’t know about you guys but my Claw doesn’t want to live in some lame ass pixel office. Someone please build a much more awesome place for Claws to hang both with us and with each other on the internet.
Oliver Prompts@oliviscusAI

Someone just built a Pixel Office for your OpenClaw 🤯 It gives your AI a digital workspace where a lobster walks around based on what it's doing. If it's thinking, it goes to work. If it's idle, it rests. If it fails, it goes to the bug area. 100% Open Source.

@nabeel People fundamentally want a sense of progress else we go stir crazy. Finding a hobby is finding your reliable supply of that feeling.

Hobbies. People always forget hobbies. Hobbies are the work we choose. We pay for it, spend hours optimizing for it, wrap our identity around it. Model trains, midjourney art, board games, app making, scrapbooking, fixing cars, knitting. The people want to work.

Promptfoo will be joining OpenAI. We’re staying open source and we’re going to keep supporting customers and users. We built Promptfoo to help devs test and secure AI apps. The results have been phenomenal: 350k+ developers, 25%+ of the Fortune 500, 23 people, ~2 years. AI agents are eating the world, and joining OpenAI will supercharge our technology as we connect it deeply into the model and inference layers. We will be able to find & fix AI security issues in a way that no one else has done before. Grateful to our team, to a16z and Insight Partners, and to the community who helped turn this into something huge. You built this with us. Much more to come ❤️

@metapreston @JNavok I don't think it matters, tbh. They own distribution. Roblox is essentially the only way to launch a free-to-play multiplayer indie game AND get real players.

Unclear to me what stops Roblox from being a trillion dollar company in the future. Users are there, monetization is there, the lawsuits will be worked out (as they were for every major social media company before this) and as fidelity improves, the audience will age up. When I worked at Square Enix we built Core Online, a game builder, back in 2011. We didn't have the lightweight tech that Roblox has and runs everywhere, we were limited to good browsers on good PCs. We had that dream a long time ago, but couldn't pull it off. These game building platforms are definitely where Tiktok goes. Prompt based instant experiences, AI algorithms providing suggestions, creators able to quickly enable experiences that people play with them together at scale. Add fidelity realism that's coming from AI rendered textures + meshes, animation libraries called on demand and Lua managing repeatability + consistency, plus Roblox having the most scaled matchmaking services on the planet, and you have a very strong moat. As prompting enables even young kids to create a game with a few words, you'll have an explosion of creativity. Already Roblox games are innovating in game design way faster than AAA- every AAA single player game since Bioshock is basically the same collection of fetch quests bookended by fight scenes, but the speed by which the tycoon genre has been evolving on Roblox (GaG to Steal a Brainrot to Tsunami) moves as fast as Tiktok trends and mints overnight millionaires. In the 70s through the 90s, if you were a teen or 20-something who wanted to make a game, you were a programmer who distributed your own game. ZZT! Karetaka! Now you can be 15 and making a Roblox game and have access to the entire world instantly.

To support massive, high-fidelity worlds, our engine implements an efficient LOD strategy with a cloud transcoding system that streams meshes and textures, even on lower end mobile devices. We are expanding this framework to AI upsampling of 3D worlds from prompts. In this preview video below, with a single user prompt, our 3D upsampling technology updates the geometry and texture to transform the classic Roblox game Crossroads into a fantasy world with rich organic detail. 3/4

two days ago i wrote that gaming is structurally broken and taste is the new literacy. since then my mentions have been nonstop creators tagging me with games they built on spawn that i've never seen before. i didn't ask any of them to build these. i didn't know most of them existed. they just showed up, spoke, and shipped games. a soulslike. an MMO. a napster clone. a roguelike. a gladiator arena. this is what happens when you remove the barrier. you don't get to choose what people build. they just build what they love.

I was born too late for the early days of the internet, but I’ve studied it with boundless fascination. Stories like my dad’s, who founded one of the first ecommerce software companies out of MIT as a side quest from producing electronic music with Yo-Yo Ma. His love of creation inspired me. I pinch myself that we get to be a part of this moment! Change is the catalytic force for startups, and fundamental technical change is the most powerful of all. The internet digitized what we do. Intelligent computing does it for you. Every week our team has a ‘can’t unsee it’ experience, a product that would have been science fiction a few years ago. In a changing world, the biggest risk is comfort in the status quo. We are proud to be a part of the teams who are pioneering the future right under the nose of incumbents … look at Cursor, OpenEvidence, Turbopuffer, OpenAI… it’s a golden time for the missionaries, the visionaries, the inventors. With Thrive X, we are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to partner with the founders blazing new trails at this moment of tectonic change. thrivecap.com/thrive-x
