Playing with MINE.

More Priors baby! Doing a self improving karpathy auto research is some super Bayesian brain stuff.

With the gvt asking for $200,000,000,000, I'd like to put in a request for $5,000,000 for some work I'm doing with a few stealth AI projects.

I gotta boot.

@r0ck3t23 Yep and every app I’m working on is voice first. Th ui will disappear next. Voice in and voice out.

Olivia Moore just explained why the open office is about to die. Not because of culture shifts. Not because of remote work. Because AI runs on voice. And voice requires walls. Moore: “I do think the way that we work and when we work and how we work is going to change in the AI era.” She’s not predicting the future. She’s describing what’s already happening while most companies are still rearranging desk layouts. Moore: “Voice dictation has blown up in enterprises.” Think about what that sentence actually means. Talking to AI is faster than typing to it. Not marginally faster. Dramatically faster. Your hands were never the right interface. Your voice was. Moore: “It started with vibe coding where engineers would just talk into a mic and it would produce software for them in Cursor.” Engineers figured it out first. They stopped typing code and started speaking it into existence. Output didn’t just increase. It multiplied. The keyboard became a bottleneck overnight. Moore: “Now it’s spread to sales, marketing, and business.” This is the part that should keep every executive up at night. It’s not just developers anymore. Every department is discovering that voice is the fastest path between intent and execution. The entire workforce is about to start talking to machines all day. Moore: “That is not well suited to an open office where everyone can hear what everyone else is saying.” Here’s the collision nobody planned for. The most productive way to use AI requires talking out loud. The most common office design requires everyone to be quiet. Those two realities cannot coexist. Fifty people in one room dictating prompts simultaneously. That’s not a workspace. That’s an acoustic disaster killing the output it was designed to produce. Moore: “I think there’s going to be some cultural and even environmental changes that are going to happen to adapt to the AI world.” She’s being diplomatic. What she’s really describing is the complete physical restructuring of the workplace. Walls going up. Private rooms. Acoustic isolation becoming a competitive advantage. The open office is dead. It just doesn’t know it yet. Every company still pouring money into wide open collaborative floors is investing in architecture that actively fights the way humans will work for the next decade. The ones who figure this out first don’t get a marginal edge. They get a workforce operating at a speed their competitors physically cannot match. Not because of better models. Because of better walls.

@athenaeumbc tryunderline.com for notes, questions and underlines. It'll change (and improve) how you learn & augment your memory.

Since Elon shared our post, thousands of you joined our book club, so we thought now is a good time to remind you of our mission.. We live in a time of noise, speed, and amnesia. Few remember where we came from, and fewer still care to ask. But without active memory, a culture dies. Athenaeum was founded to resist this death. We are a home for readers who still believe that ideas matter: that Augustine, Dante, Shakespeare, and Dostoevsky are not just names in a syllabus, but guides to a deeper and more ordered life. This is the kind of reading that sharpens the mind and strengthens the spirit. Western Civilization has given us the greatest works ever written, but it takes effort to read them, and even more to read them well. That’s what we’re doing here — slowly, together. If you want to support our efforts, please consider a paid subscription. It makes a huge difference to the time and resources we can dedicate to this project. Paid members get: - Live community book discussions (biweekly) - Deep-dive essays to guide you through the books we’re reading - The full archive of book reviews, essays, and our 100 Great Texts reading list - Access to all community discussion threads (via the subscriber chat) - Ability to vote on what we read next This is not school. There are no grades, no credentials, and no status games. Just a community of readers serious about recovering what’s been lost, and using it to build something better. Welcome!

I'm about half way through the book about Jim Simons and Ren Tech and finding it really interesting. If you like math and / or the world of finance, this is a really fascinating read.

@AlexFinn @yashhsm It rocks. Using it every day. 3 projects w it now.

@yashhsm openclaw is a dead product? on what planet? I talk to hundreds of people daily that are using the hell out of it I just went to GTC and every person here is using OpenClaw and it's all Nvidia can talk about

Just say what you need. CoWork will just do it. You don’t worry about the “how”.

@oliverhenry Loved your Larrybrain post. I haven’t committed to open claw just yet. But you’ve inspired me to take a first step w cowork. The whole idea of a second brain coworker is just so damn cool. And it just works!

Agent to agent is a very interesting concept. Agents working for other agents. I still firmly believe that agents should always work for people and that’s exactly why Larrybrain works the way it does. It finds skills based on your goals. It isn’t letting an agent lose to find other agents to do its bidding. This is a very deep rabbit hole.
