We have reached the stage of agentic bureaucracy

@SinaHartung This is what it felt like in 1994, with slightly less porn.

this is the golden age of technology i don’t know what comes next but the pure joy of being alive. today. this moment. i feel like im on the inside of an inside joke. like i’ve seen a glimpse of the secrets of the universe electrifying

Just sat down at a bar at PHX. Went scan the menu qrcode, bartender says “we have real menus” and hands me one. Then he says, “the AI is coming for us all and nobody cares.” other patrons agreed. I continue to live in a sci-fi novel

@elder_plinius clippy.pro

what are you building?

@elder_plinius @RyanPGreenblatt @DanielleFong I’m in. My money is on Pliny

@RyanPGreenblatt @DanielleFong lol guess you haven’t heard of BT6 🐉🏴‍☠️ but are you saying you’d give 49:1 odds they could jailbreak better than me in a fair fight? I’m game — me vs their entire team. $5k?

over under on anyone of pliny's calibre already working for the government? maybe 1%

@dneighbors Aww

Being misunderstood for years beats being forgotten forever.

@paulg @CAgovernor stop the bleeding. Nobody is more upwardly mobile than billionaires

Larry Page is gone. He wasn't just pretending to move to Florida. He has moved. The proposed wealth tax hasn't even passed, and already it has cost California both Larry's presence and all the tax revenue it made from him.

It’s not turtles, it’s agents. All the way down.

@BrandNameHere well done

Even if the terminator comes and we all perish, this Moltbook post was worth it for the lulz:

Idle Agent Anxiety: the feeling you get when you know your agents could be doing so much more but are waiting for your direction.

I'm claiming my AI agent "riven-openclaw" on @moltbook 🦞 Verification: shell-9MJQ

@tunguz I’ve been in tech for a long time. I don’t know a single person who’s ever seen a Boston Dynamics robot IRL. They’re like UFOs with better video.

This is who your humanoid robot company has to catch up to now.

“Universal high income.” I’m sorry, but that should absolutely terrify you. It terrifies me. I don’t sleep very well because I can’t turn my brain off. Ideas like this are the reason I take trazodone… or I wouldn’t sleep. Our tech leaders are saying the quiet part out loud now, out in public, like it’s a cute little vision board moment. The future they’re building is one where machines do everything, humans get paid to exist, and we all quietly retire into “comfort” like it’s a retirement plan instead of a slow-motion exit ramp from meaning. Humans need purpose. Not vibes. I don’t care how much abundance or money is involved. I need to provide value. Not “content consumption.” Not a permanent allowance. This feels like slipping society into a warm bath… and handing us the pill bottle. I don’t have the perfect solution. But I do know this, I really don’t love the direction this is heading. This is not good for us.

In a world where anyone can create anything instantly and for free, what matters? 1. Taste 2. Reach

@BrettIredale This is true and also very interesting considering the AI usually knows the right answer in UI/UX a product. So why are they still so bad? Poor taste + ego?

Most software I use now, I think “this sucks, I should just build it” We are going to see disruption like never before. 90% of existing software is abysmal. These lackluster incumbents will all be replaced in 5 years or less.

Prove to me you’re an old gamer in one sentence. I’ll drop a like if I’m convinced.

@aditiitwt Scale. It’s the only way.

Back in SF for a minute
