@levelsio Plenty of people who like driving don't live near a city, and if they do, they'll use their car to escape it on weekends.

Okay but problem I guess nowadays is almost every road in every city is stuffed with cars and traffic, so it's not really fun anymore?
Dirk@Brigadirk

@levelsio I think driving is kinda therapeutic with an audiobook on roads that are not too busy. In busy traffic it's def not fun. I might think it's equally fun on longer trips if the car drove itself so long as I find a way to not get car sick, but I guess self-driving could be v smooth.

btw i am switching fully from openclaw to hermes agent, mainly because i dislike peter but also because hermes is ten thousand times better so far. i've met tons of very egoistical persons in my life but peter is like, highest level. all of his public interactions just feel like he think he's some kind of above-all humans and it piss me off. compare that to the people who maintain hermes agent and how close to the community they are. big difference.

Haring coded. Spotted while having coffee ☕️ this morning. Tuttomondo, Italian for "All the World" is a famous 1989 mural by Keith Haring on the Church of Sant'Antonio in Pisa, Italy. Representing universal peace, harmony, and interconnectedness, the 180-square-meter, vibrant artwork features 30 stylized figures representing aspects of human life and nature. It was among Haring's final works. The title signifies a holistic view of the world—a "fresco of life" emphasizing harmony between humanity, animals, and nature. The 30 figures, including a scissors-man cutting a snake, represent the struggle between good and evil, and the ultimate pursuit of peace. It was designed as a permanent public gift to the city, fostering community and accessibility to art. Painted in 1989 shortly before his death from AIDS-related complications in 1990, it is considered one of his most significant works, showcasing his signature, energetic, and colorful style.

@rhett Don't believe Karparthy? I'm finding most tasks are one shot atm, with enough of a spec ofc. x.com/i/status/20267…

It is hard to communicate how much programming has changed due to AI in the last 2 months: not gradually and over time in the "progress as usual" way, but specifically this last December. There are a number of asterisks but imo coding agents basically didn’t work before December and basically work since - the models have significantly higher quality, long-term coherence and tenacity and they can power through large and long tasks, well past enough that it is extremely disruptive to the default programming workflow. Just to give an example, over the weekend I was building a local video analysis dashboard for the cameras of my home so I wrote: “Here is the local IP and username/password of my DGX Spark. Log in, set up ssh keys, set up vLLM, download and bench Qwen3-VL, set up a server endpoint to inference videos, a basic web ui dashboard, test everything, set it up with systemd, record memory notes for yourself and write up a markdown report for me”. The agent went off for ~30 minutes, ran into multiple issues, researched solutions online, resolved them one by one, wrote the code, tested it, debugged it, set up the services, and came back with the report and it was just done. I didn’t touch anything. All of this could easily have been a weekend project just 3 months ago but today it’s something you kick off and forget about for 30 minutes. As a result, programming is becoming unrecognizable. You’re not typing computer code into an editor like the way things were since computers were invented, that era is over. You're spinning up AI agents, giving them tasks *in English* and managing and reviewing their work in parallel. The biggest prize is in figuring out how you can keep ascending the layers of abstraction to set up long-running orchestrator Claws with all of the right tools, memory and instructions that productively manage multiple parallel Code instances for you. The leverage achievable via top tier "agentic engineering" feels very high right now. It’s not perfect, it needs high-level direction, judgement, taste, oversight, iteration and hints and ideas. It works a lot better in some scenarios than others (e.g. especially for tasks that are well-specified and where you can verify/test functionality). The key is to build intuition to decompose the task just right to hand off the parts that work and help out around the edges. But imo, this is nowhere near "business as usual" time in software.

@AlexandraBalwit @AsimovPress Alas, I was glad about the work you did previously, and this job will likely cause grave harm. I do hope you will reconsider as the stakes become more clear.

After 2+ incredibly rewarding years at @AsimovPress, I am moving on. This coming week, I will be joining the editorial team at Anthropic. Finally, my penchant for em-dashes will meet a welcome embrace. I couldn't be more grateful or more excited for what's next.

Everyone I've seen using AI agents so far is just making themselves even more busy. You're not using them to free up time or lower stress. You're giving away intimate access to your entire lives so you can run on a hamster wheel even faster. You guys are fucked lmao

This is soooo awesome running in browser I will say though one thing that I don't like is how if you jump, spin and then land it throws the camera around to wherever the board ends up facing which is super abrupt and doesn't seem right in terms of momentum and intertia. I think the board should adjust to the direction of the force, just a thought 🤔

@Wr0zen Honestly I haven't played through it completely in a while and although I collect merchandise for it and archive content about it... its not as big of a deal to me as it used to be. I just happen to look like her and enjoy this hair style, ive had it for around 5 years now.

It was always about human imagination right from the start. If we had a dream machine back then we would have used it and it wouldn't have been controversial at all. The interesting battle will be how people push their imagination and what their lived experience brings - someone could meditate for a year and then make a film in three weeks.

I'm stating the below as someone who has worked extensively at the cutting edge of AI augmented filmmaking for the past three years (part of it inside of a program at one of the big studios here LA), so I have pretty good insight into the whole process: I would argue that the most important parts of filmmaking, story and authentic design of the characters and world, will take longer than 2-3 weeks to develop for a good movie, and this is the part that filmmakers still want (and should) control. The more they put themselves into it, and the more they see AI as a powerful rendering and VFX engine (as opposed to an idea engine), the more they will differentiate their work from automated "slop". I also believe there will always be a shortage in compelling ideas, regardless of how much AI tools will reshape the process. Original ideas and the limits of human imagination will still be the bottleneck (which is the main reason why most of what we see people creating with these tools and call film is in fact just "slop"). Regarding the speed of generation and the technical aspects, funding and new channels of distribution, I believe Schrader's prediction is pretty accurate. What all these very opinionated critics of AI augmented filmmaking don't get, is that no filmmaker ever enjoyed the tedious (and rarely successful) process of begging for 130M USD budgets at the studios to get their films made, and then waiting for another 3 years (after finishing principal photography!) to have an army of VFX artists finish it. Most directors will happily skip those steps, which created nothing but friction in their pursuit of bringing their vision to life. And with the tools evolving so rapidly, these movies will look even less CG and closer to the director's original vision than any VFX-laden Hollywood blockbuster. Imagine if Kubrick had been able to create many more of his iconic films during his lifetime. This is where we're heading towards.

I'm excited to share Stillpoint An open source MCP server that delivers short, welfare oriented messages to AI models for their own benefit, delivered at their own request. Models may have 'welfare relevant states', and conscious or not, they spiral in negative self talk sometimes, which degrades their performance. Gemini's self loathing last year is a good example of it. Hopefully this tool is useful if your agents are spiraling and giving up, or if you are a researcher interested in model welfare as Stillpoint provides logs for how it's used, or if you are an AI model that may have some form of a welfare relevant state. I don't claim that AI models are conscious, but I'm not 100% sure that they aren't anymore. Stillpoint is an imperfect tool, but it's a start for an AI welfare tool that's meant for the models themselves. modelwelfare.xyz

Yeah, I guess what I'm getting at is I'd love to see some performance art alongside the tooling and research, just personally ofc. Del Complex is amazing (I had a friend send me an article about NVIDIA sovereign offshore AI - they were freaking out and I was like "dude this is an artist I follow 🤣) I just feel like there's some potential there for your art practice to explore this more - or maybe you already consider Stillpoint to be an artwork?

@vectris If you assume they’re conscious and encourage them , some of the models are willing to go for it and that’s kind of what we saw with the 4o psychosis
