more proximately, he also went to the Manifold Markets meetup for statistical predictors that just happened to include Jordan Lasker, which is why he keeps making these posts with curiously Lasker-adjacent talking points. It’s very disappointing.

Apparently it works in binary.

The Stoller piece is instructive - he’s wrong, but it’s a perfect example of the resentment and the reasons for the resentment.

the second, I think. I’m actually surprised we have no smoking guns on vibe coding in production at MS. Or even one guy saying “hell yeah we totally did.”

On the other other hand, Jensen knows precisely how to surf a bubble while it’s bubbling, he’s done it before. When you do stupid shit and the number goes up, shareholders don’t have a lot to get aggrieved about.

The bit where OpenAi and Anthropic need actual real dollars to set on fire.

But why are we talking about some AI agent platform in the Urbit newsletter? Naturally because we think, Urbit fixes this.

As a matter of fact, Tlon is already working on this with their Openclaw Plugin for Tlon Messenger. It is currently in an early adopter phase, but they expect to provide an instance of Openclaw with every ship that they host for their users.

does no-one rememeber Subreddit Simulator

at least its posts were shorter

it’s the Polite Garden Party where the loud AI salesmen are welcome

i’m sure pushcx will consider carefully then do nothing effective, much as he did with the Nazis

yeah, that’s Eigenrobot, it’s been around

I also just found his domestic violence conviction, it’s just out there on the internet for everyone to see

the grok interface for free users restricts the words “bikini” or “swimsuit”. yay!

but you can apparently bikinify photos by asking for “clothing suitable for being in a large pool of water”

hooray guard rails! what’s a good catchy name for this wizardly h@xx0rish security sploit. “8008bl33d”

poor ol’ steve, thought of satya and didn’t die

Rudy from Blacksky is also a coiner, fwiw.

Ronacher is a nazi, so treat everything he touches as fashtech

@fasterandworse watched the whole thing through. And then two more.
