do things that increase serendipity

I just launched FriendshipRecession.com Adults have fewer close friends than at any point in the last 30 years The number of men with zero close friends jumped from 3% to 15% since 1990. That's wild! And the average adult now spends less than 3 hours a week with friends I'll be documenting the so-called Friendship Recession on this site. Send me any articles or posts here so I can start to collect tips, tricks, research etc please

So much amazing technology lore and history in my inbox and group chats because of @openclaw. This is so fun every day. You all are awesome, I love this community.

Thanks @clawcon & @ClawstinTX for the opportunity to demo my @huggingface @pollenrobotics Reachy Robot powered by @claudeai and @zocomputer and thanks for the shoutout in the newsletter! I'll make a higher res demo for future...and thanks to @msg for being my robot stand.

if your meeting bot shows up before you... get ready for me to be talking a whole bunch of nonsense before you arrive

we are so early we are also going so fuckin fast

@benblumenrose @fed10ai I was just saying this to a friend yesterday. If i don’t see detailed polish in someone’s work i know they don’t understand the craft and are just playing LLM roulette

With AI raising the floor I now have these little signals/tests for quality bar at companies - e.g. in the marketing site, did they create html/css mini prototypes people can use/explore vs. static images. The @fed10ai site is a great example of this...

Devin can now manage a team of Devins. Devin will break down large tasks and delegate them to parallel Devins that each run in their own VM. Over time, Devin gets better at breaking down and managing tasks for your codebase. Available now for all users.

How to never lose your job to AI: Just surf the models. Frontier models outclass humans at any form of knowledge that can be written down. But people who use frontier models in their field of expertise generate new, tacit, situational expertise that the models don't yet have—because the models can't be trained on how they will be used in the future. Humans can learn to use new models faster than new models can be trained that absorb what they find out, so you can continually "surf" on top of the model's intelligence to generate new expertise. This is a fundamental limitation of LLMs because they don't learn past their training data. Even few-shot learning doesn't account for this because whatever can be codified into a few shot prompt needs to be used in the correct situation—and this will always stay uncodified in the general case. Just surf the models. Reap the benefits of a totally new world.

@danshipper 🤙 love this frame

Hosting some unexpected, quirky, uniquely SF experiences over the coming weeks. If you're new to the city or want to meet new people outside of work, please DM me.

@whatdotcd quiver.ai but i also found using nano banana pro and then giving it to opus to vectorize work well

Are any of you using gen AI tools to do wordmarks/logos/branding?

Master of Bots for Slow? I am interested in hiring a 'master of bots' to work on software and bot stack at slow / build internal (and maybe external apps, etc) with me. This isn't a for sure role, but I am for sure interested -- application below...

LA tech folks -- join us!! Especially if your'e an OpenClaw and productivity nerd

@davidtphung @whatdotcd @clawcon @jwegener @swaglord__420 love the event image

@whatdotcd @clawcon @msg @jwegener let's gooo. @swaglord__420 is hosting an oepnclaw meetup this saturday. will be there! luma.com/h4woh025?tk=wG…

I'm gonna be hosting @clawcon LA with @msg and @jwegener come hang! luma.com/clawconla

@rrhoover @whatdotcd @clawcon @jwegener u should come

@whatdotcd @msg @clawcon @jwegener Fomoooo

@raihan_ @whatdotcd @clawcon @jwegener yes please

@whatdotcd @clawcon @msg @jwegener I’m gonna make something just so I can present “Clawn Wick”

@jwegener @trq212 @twostraws You should be referencing content to always build best skills

@trq212 would you agree with @twostraws that skills really help fix gaps in the models -- and that having AI entirely write skills is often pointless since it should cover knowledge that the AI does NOT already possess? youtube.com/watch?v=nKVZBK…

Great piece by @om nails our mission at @openclaw: Bring people closer to AI. Give people hope. Have fun. Make AI personal. Power to the people.
