Technology taken to its natural end becomes “everyone has everything.” But it skips the obvious reality that humans can always find something to suffer about. We will do not solve dissatisfaction with more. We solve it by removing the desire for more.

@HarryStebbings is this a major inflection point for SaaS companies? if i was a CEO of one of these firms I'd be panicking

"We replaced Salesforce with a vibe-coded CRM built for our own workflows. The custom system integrated our AI agents more effectively, worked better for the team, and made Salesforce unnecessary. That decision cut a $600,000 annual software bill to zero." Is this an anomaly or the start of a much larger trend @chamath @Avishai_ab @jasonlk @benioff

The less you take yourself seriously the luckier you get. That is just how it works. Drop the pride, kill the fear of embarrassment and start putting yourself in rooms and situations that will grow you whether you feel like it or not. Nobody is watching as closely as you think. Nobody is keeping score of your awkward moments. You are going to live, die and be remembered by maybe two generations if you were lucky enough to have people who loved you. That is it. So what exactly are you protecting your reputation for? Go be embarrassing. Go take the risk. It is so much more fun on the other side.

@jun_song this is currently happening to my mac. set up codex and I'm out of storage and my mac keeps on crashing

🚨 A severe issue is currently happening with Codex. The Codex app on Mac is overloading, causing permanent damage to SSDs and overall device lifespan. Multiple users have already reported that their SSDs completely fried, forcing them to get repairs. This issue was raised weeks ago, and OpenAI claimed they fixed it. Yet, a massive number of users are still reporting the exact same problem right now. Source: Reddit ⬇️

@signulll good movie. you should watch

am i the only one who doesn’t care about the odyssey & will maybe watch it on an airplane at some point in the future? why are ppl standing in line for this?!?

easily the best performance in The Odyssey

@DanyB44 @KyleBrandt frightening and spine chilling. experienced this in dolby

@KyleBrandt The Cyclops scream 😳

There is a SOUND in The Odyssey that I still haven’t recovered from. I can’t shake it. Never heard anything like it.

@Dr_Singularity prophecy

AGI will eventually be open source. AGI will eventually be free.

@jacksonicide ok, but why? what will they do with it?

The sensor at urinals scans your penis and sells it to palantir

Larpers go to hell.

@BGuestroom @yunta_tsai I agree there are many examples of such harmonious ones, but they are not the best. When one has an inkling of how good a truly deep relationship feels, the shallow ones can't sustain.

@BGuestroom @yunta_tsai why do you say so? When 2 people have completely different worldviews and there's dissonance between them, how can there also exist a deep, loving, and harmonious relationship?

Our lifespan is a session.
Our memory is a context. Our senses are the input stream.
Our thoughts are the reasoning steps.
Our decisions are the tool calls.
Our habits are the system prompt.
Our goals are the objective function.
Our emotions are the reward signal.
Our relationships are the shared state.
Our regrets are the residual errors.
Our growth is the fine-tuning.
Our death is the context window closing. And whatever remains—the traces left in others—becomes the training data for the next agent.

I've been using Kimi K3 for ~16 hours now. The model is clearly good at a lot of different things (especially frontend), but non obvious reason why people are enjoying it so much is that it clearly does not follow the same rules in terms of safeguards and copyright. Kimi will happily clone MacOSX. If you ask it to help you improve another AI model, it will do it with a smile on its virtual face. Ask Fable to do the same thing? It literally starts to perceive you as a criminal committing a war crime (like no bro, all I want to do is fine tune an open source model). After using all three recent releases, Fable, GPT 5.6, and now Kimi, it's clear that the full power of the models has been significantly held back by the safeguard restrictions caused by last months debacle with the USG -- leading to the top models being quite literally lobotomized in some areas, which leads to subpar results as the safeguards pollute its entire thinking and problem solving abilities. The funny part? Is that you could have predicted this outcome 2-3 years ago when you started to see the rise of Chinese EVs and smartphones compared to western alternatives. They quite literally tried to copy the Tesla Model S and iPhone as hard as possible and then eventually it started to diverge to the point where their EVs and phones are just genuinely better (which is why we have export controls banning their EVs, because they would literally drive all US manufacturers to ZERO) There is a very clear behavior difference in Chinese capitalism and American capitalism. American capitalism tries to protects copyright, patents, etc (oh no, you can't download a book through LibGen, that's ILLEGAL!). Versus Chinese capitalism actually just does not give a fuck. "Hey you want a video gen model (Seeddance 2.5) trained on every single anime ever? And you want the main character to look exactly like Messi? Sure, here you go!" You see what I mean? When one half of the competition is being held up by regulators and restrictions on people who don't understand the technology and the other half has a leader who quite literally today said they are going to set up AI centers around the world to help other countries onboard to their open-source AIs, this is the sort of results that you will start to get. These models were not smart enough to have this difference in philosophy matter -- but the newest class of models is where this difference makes a big deal. If these models are finally at the point where they are smarter than 99% of humans, why would you want to use the American one who tries to impose its world view onto you versus the Chinese one who will just do what you say without asking any questions? And this isn't a full on bullpost on Kimi, the model is clearly not as smart as Fable / GPT 5.6 on things like math and science, but it's lack of handcuffs means that it can show the world what the frontier labs are gatekeeping from you and that starts to build customer resentment and loyalty towards the East, which is probably not what the USG wants. Interesting times. Interesting times, indeed.

@a_musingcat buhahahha

noooooo u can’t just open source fable-level intelligence 😭😭😭😭

@signulll Google is busy cooking something else. Something like a World Model?

while google is busy renaming notebooklm to gemini notebook, a chinese open weight startup completely outclassed every gemini model on the market today by a long shot. how can this possibly happen?

@JDominium_ I wonder why Machiavelli died in poverty and political disgrace?

THEY ARE LYING TO YOU. “Invest $250 a month in the S&P and in 40 years you will have $1.5 million.” That $1.5 million, adjusted for inflation, has the buying power of about $485,000 today. At a 4% safe withdrawal rate, you are pulling about $1,600 a month. Good luck living on that.
