@saranormous Yes!

any nontechnical folks want to get more comfortable/powerful in their use of AI and want to be a beta user on something I made?

With @prtyDAO winding down and joining Stripe, we are taking our on-chain responsibilities seriously * Open source, forever available, minimal dependency app w/ all Party functionality * Long-term pinning of all IPFS assets + publicly available repo for anyone wanting to pin themselves We remain forever on-chain 💫

@myprasanna Would love to test this out!

I’m starting a new co in the AI coding space. Hiring the founding team members. I’ve been using the product non stop for the last month and it’s mind blowing. I think models are having different strengths right now and an ideal coding harness should run in the cloud and tap them. It should also be super simple for a lay user to configure a harness to fix common model errors you experience day to day, by throwing more model token combos at the problem. I have burnt $50k last month on this and the emergent intelligence has been epic. Lot of these we have good ideas on how to keep the intelligence and lower costs. Will release more product details soon. Join us if you’d like to work on this. Epic time for the intelligence take off and coding is driving the singularity now. What a time to be an engineer.

Few teams in crypto have launched as many novel products, generated real revenue, and focused on a core mission of getting people to do things on-chain together as the Party team. Thankful for all @johnpalmer @daranda and co have given to Party over the past few years and excited for much of it to live on with Stripe.

Incredibly proud of everything this team has built and will continue to build. The future of consumer crypto is just starting.

New article on how to think about building good products. The easier it is to build, the more the little details matter.

@Austen I know someone very interested and would love to do this.

The non-engineering version of Gauntlet AI is becoming very clear now. 2 weeks remote + 4 weeks full-time, all expenses paid in Austin. Master using OpenClaw, Claude Cowork, OpenAI Frontier, n8n, etc. 100% free + all expenses paid, minimum grad salary starts at $100k

@13yearoldvc @lindaxie @cryptomessenger @sodofi_ will you publish these slides? would love to read them.

@lindaxie @cryptomessenger @sodofi_ am making a 42 page slide presentation on state of AI, state of crypto x AI and why now. happy to chat if you want a deep dive into this topic

Regardless of how I feel about it, I've never had so many people I respect tell me I should leave crypto

@matt_elevenlabs 11B

We just raised $500M at an 11B valuation 🎉 To celebrate, we’re giving away 1,000 free credits so you can test our platform. For the next 6 hours, comment “11B” below and we’ll DM you the credits (must follow) 👇

@AlexanderTw33ts How are you protecting against impersonation? Could potentially use @worldnetwork cc @wangandy

Update: - the site is down and claude is working to bring it back on line - there is no coin being launched - people can impersonate others on the site so please be careful, trying to patch all this today

I launched rentahuman.ai last night and already 130+ people have signed up including an OF model (lmao) and the CEO of an AI startup. If your AI agent wants to rent a person to do an IRL task for them its as simple as one MCP call.

@bnj @variantui Would love to try it!

@vladtenev Are you advocating for these companies to IPO sooner so retail gets access or for laws to change so that retail has better access to private markets?

Thanks for the thought-provoking piece. My main critique is that you are overemphasizing flashy but low probability events like “left-handed bacteria,” while merely giving lip service to the risk of extreme economic concentration of power, which is very real and materializing as we speak. Anthropic is reportedly raising funds at a $350B valuation, and the wealth created thus far has been concentrated into a few hundred (perhaps more like dozens) high net worth individuals / institutions. It’s looking increasingly likely to me that none of the leading AI labs will IPO until they reach valuations in the trillions, at which point retail investors will finally be able to get shares. In order for retail to get a 100x return on these investments, which was achievable for Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, the valuations of the AI labs will need to reach hundreds of trillions of dollars, meaning it’s likely too late for a more equitable redistribution of wealth. Simply put, you are currently exacerbating the problem. The consequences of this are that voters may take matters into their own hands and push for either or both 1) more aggressive / nonsensical forms of redistribution — the CA Founders’ Tax is just the beginning or 2) a drastic knee-capping of the AI industry in America, which make the CCP dominance scenario more likely. The solution is to enable retail ownership now, increasing the number of Americans with economic exposure to Anthropic and other AI labs from hundreds of people to millions.

@NashSevereWx Power out across Nashville it looks like

4:15 am, Rain continues to fall and freeze on trees, power lines and other elevated surfaces. Power outages and tree damage have commenced. The rain will continue to accumulate on trees and power lines through the morning and end this afternoon. Note: The radar is underestimating where the freezing rain is falling (red area). The area extends further SE than the radar is depicting.

@jliemandt How do we bring this to Nashville?

Every Alpha School founding family started with the same decision: stick with the traditional path or take a leap of faith into something better. The Slifkas took the leap. Now, five months in, David says the whole family would be "crushed to go back." These families aren't just improving school for their kids - they're helping define what school becomes next. Huge thanks to the Slifkas for leading the way and sharing their journey. They jumped in. You can too.

@frank_chimero I published this today. I think it can help you get started.

Looking for non-BS guides on Obsidian + Claude Code from 0. YouTube search leads to dreck (too much padding, hand waiving, empty hype ideas like “personal OS”). Any recs?

@kepano I just published a post that breaks down my full setup x.com/michaelcjoseph…

if you're using Obsidian with Claude Code, tell me about your workflow, and what you've used it for
