@WillManidis Why? Do you mean to say that governments will be run by religious leaders waging wars against one another?

my basic view is that the future will look much more like the past than the present. we are at the end of a great historical abnormality: this level of cultural stability and secularism is over. we’re going back to the basics of savage violence and divine faith

@MatthewBerman when it is all said and done, the relationships are what you take with you, and that hasn't changed

i'm on vacation with my family. i read about mythos and couldn't relax the rest of the day. i am completely stunned. i already have a severe case of ai psychosis. i dont know what to call this now. i'm up late right now (late for me). i can't stop reading about anthropic's new model that they can't even release publicly because it's so good. this feels different. words like "frightening" and "uneasy" and "scary" are being throw around by the anthropic team. i feel all of those things. i knew this moment was coming. i didn't know it'd be so soon. i'm generally optimistic. i don't feel as optimistic today. i was shell-shocked most of the day. my mind was stuck on it. i kept looking around at people enjoying their vacations with their families and...i just felt weird. like i had been told aliens are real, they're coming, and soon...and no one else knows. it's true though, practically no one knows what's happening in AI right now. where does this go from here? how quickly? is software solved? is all software vulnerable now? am i even asking the right questions? what about anthropic? this is an enormous amount of power for one company, one man (dario), to have. i've said this before but now it's more real than ever: can any company catch up to anthropic? opus likely helped build mythos, mythos will help build the next model after that. recursive self improvement is here. the "intelligence explosion" as leopold aschenbrenner put it, is here. i knew the frontier labs were racing towards ASI. i knew it. but i didn't fully grasp what it meant. the first company to reach it wins. period. full stop. nothing else matters. dario knew that and his bet on coding was right. on the one hand, imaging all science, math, coding, climate problems being solved. imagine cancer being cured. imagine going to the stars. on the other hand - imagine concentration of power, political and economic change happening so fast, society can't adapt. how do we go on like things are the same?

@lichthauch I wouldn't say that God needs anyone. And I wouldn't want to simplify God like this and make him so predictable.

God gives the worst pain to the ones he needs the most. i believe this now. i did not believe it before

@lichthauch echo's Wendell Berry's The Vacation, hits true poetryfoundation.org/poems/56192/th…

I watched a man film his daughter's first steps and he watched it through the screen. she walked toward him and he was not there he was in the rectangle and she reached for a ghost. that is the whole thing now. we are building a perfect archive of a life no one attended

@garrytan Why does the drama triangle exist and does it have any benefits?

Every founder and CEO should read all they can about the drama triangle. If you cannot face another person directly, you will drag a third person in and call it process. That is how companies rot from the inside.

@paulg We are all rooting for you 17 yo!

I agreed to get a Phil Foden haircut if 17 yo gets 1550 on the SAT. For people outside the UK, this is the risk I'm taking here:

@dramaricic sessionvision.com - pushes insights to you instead of you going to search for it

What tool you use to track your website analytics?

Dashboards wrap data and data wraps the real world, I guess this means intuition is a thing

@DaveDiederen Great experiment and clean reporting on it - what software are you using for A/B testing and the charts you showed?

By far the most interesting and underutilised test I've run in a long time. Making fonts 5% bigger. Here's why it worked. Most Shopify stores are built by young designers on Retina MacBooks. The font looks clean. Minimal. Intentional. But their customer is 45-55, shopping on an older phone, in average lighting, after a long day. That 12px body copy? It's exhausting to read. And when reading feels hard, buying feels hard. One of the most boring-sounding tests I've ever done. The real lesson isn't "make fonts bigger." It's that your store was designed for you, not your customer. Readability is a conversion lever. Almost nobody treats it like one. Check your mobile body copy size right now. If it's under 16px, you're making your customer work harder than you need to.

@garrytan Ignorant question but how does one "update" gstack locally to pull in latest version for CC?

Improving /review skill on GStack tonight, just shipped

@utkutugrul33 @feross @SocketSecurity Seriously - awesome work please keep it up

@feross Consistently impressive work from @SocketSecurity, not just detecting threats, but informing the community and repository maintainers in real time. This is the standard for modern supply chain security. Well done! 🙏

🚨 CRITICAL: Active supply chain attack on axios -- one of npm's most depended-on packages. The latest axios@1.14.1 now pulls in plain-crypto-js@4.2.1, a package that did not exist before today. This is a live compromise. This is textbook supply chain installer malware. axios has 100M+ weekly downloads. Every npm install pulling the latest version is potentially compromised right now. Socket AI analysis confirms this is malware. plain-crypto-js is an obfuscated dropper/loader that: • Deobfuscates embedded payloads and operational strings at runtime • Dynamically loads fs, os, and execSync to evade static analysis • Executes decoded shell commands • Stages and copies payload files into OS temp and Windows ProgramData directories • Deletes and renames artifacts post-execution to destroy forensic evidence If you use axios, pin your version immediately and audit your lockfiles. Do not upgrade.

When Claude Code casually SSH's into your production server... not cool Instant block and slap on the hand so Claude never does that again.

@nico_jeannen @AnthropicAI Unfortunately I am in the same boat, though not as bad as you. Have way through Monday and at 17% weekly limit

Idk what's going on with @AnthropicAI but they messed up the weekly limits badly it seems Anyone else with the issue? I've almost never hit the weekly limit on the x200 plan (except maybe 2-3x a few hours before the reset) and now I'm hitting it on Monday lol

@tibo_maker amazing

there are genuinely 2 internets right now 1. where AGI is basically here, codebases write themselves, agents run entire workflows, and every founder is talking about their 10x productivity gains 2. where a real customer, paying real money, takes a photo of their laptop screen with their phone to share something the hype wave we all live in makes it feel like everything has changed, and in some ways it has but here's the thing nobody says out loud: roughly 85% of the world has never even opened ChatGPT - not even once we're having a civilizational debate about superintelligence while most people are just trying to figure out basic software both realities are true at the same time the gap between them is just a lot wider than the timeline makes it seem

@BEBischof lol - resonated! shameless plug: building sessionvision to end the ceo dashboard saga - insights in natural language because dashboards are wrappers after all (wrappers are useful but not always)

too real

@toddsaunders Mental will and the tenacity/endurance to keep going, keep building on the same project day after day, week after week. Keep going and not get distracted with new shiny things.

The cost to writing code is 0. It’s all about the mental will in getting started.

@faridmovsumov Got my ticket too, hope to connect there 👌

Wide Event was my first irl Shopify event and it really helped me to change my perspective about Shopify app development. Amazing vibe, amazing speakers and a lot of new connections. I joined two previous events and looking forward to the next one 🇫🇷 🥐 Thanks to Mat for organazing 🙏

@GergelyOrosz dark pattern at its finest

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/copil…

@harleyf @seibeltron @Shopify @ChatGPTapp call it AI paranoia, where now I am seeing it where it really isn't - my apologies

@seibeltron @jakesjohnson @Shopify @ChatGPTapp I like the camera way too much to not do these myself ;)

Brands on @Shopify are now shoppable inside @ChatGPTapp. AI shopping isn’t coming. It’s here. As always, our merchants are best positioned. Let's go.
