The optimistic case for AI and GDP: Google Maps killed the $2B GPS device market, then created a multi-billion dollar ecosystem that dwarfs what it replaced. AI will do the same to software. Cheaper per unit. Infinitely more units.

@rsuyoy @Ahmed695620 @mil000 there will be haters – just keep building!

@Ahmed695620 @theashbhat @mil000 ?

Can anyone explain to me what in gods name they need long running agents for? I haven’t seen a single reason/ use case so far

@tszzl @Indian_Bronson contrarian lived experience OpenClaw + Telegram has made it so that I can code while walking through Golden Gate Park

automating the computer has made the computer radically more fun and its even harder to go outside now

@benhylak the cognitive load of a TUI feels lower than a library of UI components; could be advantaged for longer sessions ui components seem more approachable than a TUI to the avg consumer; likely appeals to a wider audience

david is both right and wrong. a TUI is, from every technological perspective, fundamentally worse. there's 0 technological advantage. yet, claude code cli has a better ui than their app (and codex for that matter) so... why?

@loopfox_ @TheRealAdamG (ideally on the openclaw runtime!)

@TheRealAdamG Why stop at an app. Build an OS.

Not sure if you heard... but we're building a superapp

@rsuyoy @mil000 what are you building that takes code completion this long? Is it UI testing / deploy scripts?

@mil000 well i don't want it to stop running

@Scobleizer @HashiCorp is a compelling case study; there may be analogs for AI OSS All their core software is open sourced (Terrafom, Vault, Vagrant, etc) They charge for - enterprise support (SSO/Audit logging, etc) - managed hosting - support/services $583M in ARR; sold for $6.4B to IBM

Open Source's big problem. Last night I went to a Y Combinator party in San Francisco and met an entrepreneur who is making a top Open Source AI model. He told me it is very hard to make money in open source. Yeah, it is cool being popular, he told me, but figuring out how to make a business out of it is proving to be very difficult. The Chinese are pounding the price into the ground with their open source models. Which makes it tough. In the old world of Open Source you could make money with them by consulting, service, etc, like RedHat did. But in this new world, he told me, it's much harder to make a good business out of it. Is anyone making a good business out of open source? What would your advice be to the businesses that are trying to support Open Source?

@jacob_posel Secret management + cron powered rotation will do the trick Most hyperscalers have this; just needs to be implemented / made easy to implement

We should get rid of API keys, too risky Instead, every time my agent wants to use a tool I should have to give it an MFA code from the Google Authenticator app (via Telegram)

@signulll @pitdesi $10B call option first time seeing that

@pitdesi paired with a $60b exit!

which product in the market today has effectively lost product market fit after once actually having it?

This seems like a new primitive Claude Managed Agents is a similar concept too

Big tech news day - cursor xai deal – GPT Image 2 – new Apple ceo

Great image model out of OpenAI today

@sama what’s the meaning in your new profile picture? congrats on the new model btw!

@deedydas On 2 – My memory is that he said “I know Dario the best of all the lab leaders”

Demis Hassabis and Sebastian Mallaby were on stage in SF today and here are the 9 best things they said: 1. "There is a 50% chance that OpenAI goes bankrupt in the next 18mos" -Mallaby 2. "Dario is the best of all the other lab leaders." -Demis 3. On Claude Mythos: "It's not really tenable for a private company to decide who gets access to the frontier of cyber defense tech. What happens when China can do this in 6-12mos?" -Mallaby 4. "Not all countries are pessimistic about AI. I was just in India for the AI Summit Modi had and they're quite optimistic there" -Demis 5. "The most exciting current prospect in AI is our work at Isomorphic Labs. AlphaFold is just one of the many problems we need to solve. We need 6 'AlphaFold' moments to compress the drug delivery timeline from 10yrs to a few months" -Demis 6. "I don't think of p(doom) as probabilities to throw out there. I just know it's non zero. Some people like Marc Andreesen and Yann LeCun think it's 0% and I think that's crazy" -Demis 7. On AGI: "I think of a post-scarcity world where on the bright side we will have an unbelievable amount of science but we will have to think of economic problems of sharing proceeds equitably. We will also have philosophical questions to answer and need great new philosophers" -Demis 8. On career advice: "Immerse yourself in AI tools. Everyone has access to tools 3-6 months behind frontier. Enormous opportunity lies in applying AI to unexplored areas." -Demis 9. On the future: "When I started building this technology, I pictured a future quite different from this. More like CERN researchers where we discuss ideas and help each other out and stress test each other's ideas. It's my job to help how I can to make sure we make more considered, more scientific, more rigorous and more thoughtful decisions and that will also involve social scientists and economists. I'm going to do all I can to try and influence the future in a note thoughtful manner. The decisions we make in the next 5-10 years are going to affect us for 1000s of years. But I remain very optimistic." -Demis

@emilychangtv @demishassabis @scmallaby

@emilychangtv @demishassabis @scmallaby Thanks for the share! Good luck up there

In case you don’t have plans this rainy evening in SF come see me chat with @demishassabis & @scmallaby!

@AIandDesign @vercel checking for exposure to the tool used as the attack vector is the immediate step to take if this is the case – worth rotating your tokens asap if this is not the case – worth adding a task this week to make it easy to rotate tokens; my sense is that this won't be the first

Dear @vercel, Do hackers have ALL MY SHIT and do I have to spend all night fixing it or not? I did not receive an email. Can we please have some TRANSPARENCY here?

pretty interesting tweet by @elonmusk he’s on path to be building AI/robotics that will produce goods & services; has a role to play in seeing that this becomes reality history will be the judge; seems like a note to self

@sporadica suuuper long thunder

just heard thunder in San Francisco, what in the hell is happening
