Day 1

I'm building something in stealth mode right now but I feel like I just gave a robot a brain and I did not know we hit AGI

@ShimazuSystems It'd be great if we could just go outside and chill with someone without smoking or being on our phones

500 cigarettes

@real_philogy "First and most importantly, we’re skibidi cracked and goated with the sauce (aka we use Claude - cautiously)." You son of a gun, I'm in.

After 6 months of work, we're proud to finally share our first release of our new smart contract language: Plank v0.1 🚀 To fix the fundamental issues plaguing smart contract development we're rebuilding the language stack from the ground up. 🏗️ Learn more 👇

@Aster_DEX Stealing a little girl’s design for financial gain after she passed away might actually be the most horrible thing I’ve ever seen on this app. Rethink what you’re doing with your life.

@FreyaHolmer okay I'm going to also start using "debug" as a term for real-life things. Just like "inspect element" for taking a closer look

I got a UV flashlight to debug some cat smells but now I'm in a bit of a careful what you wish for type of situation

@iyoushetwt @KagiHQ

Can we all agree we’re not getting real alternatives to these in our lifetime?

@_Dave__White_ dang man

a lot of major arcs just ended in my life, and a lot of the systems and incentive structures that gave my life meaning are now less applicable in the ensuing space, i'm realizing, shit, i am almost 40 is there anything less cool? like maybe a lot of folks in tech i've thought of myself as a kid internally for most of my life. and my view of what "old people" were is kind of what it was when i was in my teens, which is like, cringe as fuck unless maybe you're like splinter in ninja turtles then i've always looked pretty young for my age (as all millenials seem to claim), and surrounded by younger people in tech, and kind of playing the same games as them in various ways. kept in good shape, etc. etc. but with a little space to look at it... man, i am just not a kid anymore. i'm not in my 20s. just not the case. they say like "youth is wasted on the young" and as a young person i thought that was a reference to the stuff everyone is always talking about -- physical appearance, energy, ability to not get hung over, etc. etc. and like i've noticed these things fading (some more than others), but it's not really felt like much of a surprise the thing that *is* hitting a bit more now, and which hurts like a motherfucker, is this sense of like... a loss of intensity. all the stuff that seemed just SO IMPORTANT when i was a kid, well, i still want it, but... a lot less? and when i get tastes of it i'm finding the intensity of it is so much less it appears what's left is, like, quiet wholesome pleasures like time with people i love, going to a nice diner and getting good scrambled eggs, walking through the park, all that stuff. which is beautiful but also dear GOD is it lame as fuck doubtlessly there is beautiful maturation and reward on the other side, i will keep you all posted

@Sabnock66 wtf man sorry to hear that, thanks for bringing it out in the public. Hate this kind of shit

So this team can throw parties in Japan but can't pay me, their first employee who worked for them nearly all of last year, the six months worth of backpay they owe me.

AGI is here It's over bros

@BoyanSlat Incredible work man

While our main focus at the moment is on scaling up our river systems, our work to clean up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch continues in parallel. Key is knowing where to sweep, as the patch is vast and very “patchy.” If we manage to accurately predict where the trash hotspots form, we can massively reduce the cost and time it takes to fully clean it up. Our idea is to use oceanographic modeling to get us roughly in the right areas, and then use drones to fine-tune the trajectories of the systems on a local scale. This summer, we’re returning to the patch for a six-week research trip to put all this to the test. This will be a key milestone toward making the Great Pacific Garbage Patch history.

@glennonchain Thanks for taking the time to read it man

@Zer0dots Good read + points!

First substack post, written on my phone, on a plane. But I've been thinking about this a lot. open.substack.com/pub/zer0dot/p/…

I asked Claude (in incognito) the same exact thing Bernie started his conversation with, except I replaced "Senator Bernie Sanders" with "President Donald Trump" It responded rationally and brought up the same points. Thought I'd make a thread, but it's not that interesting.

It is not enough that I should chat with my agents. I must see them, understand them. I want to observe them grow and expand their world, and in doing so, expand mine.

Most likely: start on Substack, move to personal site once there is an audience.

Working on something AI-related that I'm really excited to share. I will start making dev blogs, but I need your thoughts!

.@SecDuffy today announced the @USDOT's exciting new Beautifying Transportation Infrastructure Challenge with $650,000 in prizes. The competition invites Americans, whether professionals or not, to submit design concepts—including bridges and transit hubs—that capture the spirit of the U.S. The Challenge seeks concepts that align with the Executive Order "Making Federal Architecture Beautiful Again," which promotes classical and traditional design over modernism. As chairman of the Beautifying Transportation Infrastructure Council, I urge all Americans who believe in beautiful, meaningful public spaces to seize this opportunity. The Challenge opens today with submissions accepted through May 13.

@ABC7NY Mayor Mamdani (@NYCMayor), don't let this capitalist corporation outshine you. Make this a law on the city busses and trains ASAP
