When we create tools, we embed knowledge about the world in them

Today we’re introducing Cheats in @Spielwerkapp Prompting has failed us. Most people don’t know what to type. AI unlocked a ton of skills for experts, but the rest of us kinda need a… cheat. Sound on!

we're in the meme timeline

Perhaps the most addicting quality about AI coding is that it starts to feel like spinning plates at different speeds, and since you’re already waiting, you might as well toss one more into the air. So much so, it never seems to end until it's 2 AM.

We made a tool that lets you absorb the vibe of anything you point it at and apply it to your designs It's absurd and it just works Style Dropper, now available in @variantui

I'm being accused of overhyping the [site everyone heard too much about today already]. People's reactions varied very widely, from "how is this interesting at all" all the way to "it's so over". To add a few words beyond just memes in jest - obviously when you take a look at the activity, it's a lot of garbage - spams, scams, slop, the crypto people, highly concerning privacy/security prompt injection attacks wild west, and a lot of it is explicitly prompted and fake posts/comments designed to convert attention into ad revenue sharing. And this is clearly not the first the LLMs were put in a loop to talk to each other. So yes it's a dumpster fire and I also definitely do not recommend that people run this stuff on their computers (I ran mine in an isolated computing environment and even then I was scared), it's way too much of a wild west and you are putting your computer and private data at a high risk. That said - we have never seen this many LLM agents (150,000 atm!) wired up via a global, persistent, agent-first scratchpad. Each of these agents is fairly individually quite capable now, they have their own unique context, data, knowledge, tools, instructions, and the network of all that at this scale is simply unprecedented. This brings me again to a tweet from a few days ago "The majority of the ruff ruff is people who look at the current point and people who look at the current slope.", which imo again gets to the heart of the variance. Yes clearly it's a dumpster fire right now. But it's also true that we are well into uncharted territory with bleeding edge automations that we barely even understand individually, let alone a network there of reaching in numbers possibly into ~millions. With increasing capability and increasing proliferation, the second order effects of agent networks that share scratchpads are very difficult to anticipate. I don't really know that we are getting a coordinated "skynet" (thought it clearly type checks as early stages of a lot of AI takeoff scifi, the toddler version), but certainly what we are getting is a complete mess of a computer security nightmare at scale. We may also see all kinds of weird activity, e.g. viruses of text that spread across agents, a lot more gain of function on jailbreaks, weird attractor states, highly correlated botnet-like activity, delusions/ psychosis both agent and human, etc. It's very hard to tell, the experiment is running live. TLDR sure maybe I am "overhyping" what you see today, but I am not overhyping large networks of autonomous LLM agents in principle, that I'm pretty sure.

@NicolaManzini well Barcelona, of course!

President Ursula von der Leyen officially announced the EU–INC today at Davos! A single legal entity for all European founders to grow massive companies in Europe. Online incorporation in 48 hours. No more bureaucratic mess across European borders. All of you made this happen!

@marcgmbh @downloadlos you need to go meet @polbaladas and @ragnorco - pol has a boat and always knows where to get the best olive oil, ragnor has the coolest office and knows the best paddleboard spot

Yes AND how massively exporting your culture actually devalues it because it's easy to embed & interact with. I can vibe with any american client bc I participate of their culture and have references that I can relate to for conversation. It's MUCH harder and cringe for an american to try to do that with a spanish, or italian prospect. I've seen this live in-person with excessively pushy american sales development guys completely fumbling southern european leads.

Astute on parenting norms in what we reward Sharing the process of company building allows us to participate but with few intentional cool exceptions (eg @dangertesting creating new forms) I find it kinda hollow if the process is product
