Here's a common trap with AI if you're not careful: 1. You ask it to generate some markdown files (maybe to build some skills). You skim them and they look ok. Sure, there's a bit of slop in there, but you're too lazy to edit them manually. 2. Over time you ask it to generate more markdown files. Except now it's referencing the previous files ...

With agents generating md and html files anyone else find themselves too lazy to edit the files manually? All the agent generated files seem good but then always have at least 10% slop in there.

Sometimes when I message Claude Code it just hangs for 3 minutes and I have no idea whether it's still working or not. Wish it communicated more. https://t.co/Fzd7LhLsYK

For everything we’ve seen about agents so far, it’s clear that they will make it far easier for people to get into previously extremely complicated fields. That will most certainly mean far more people will build software, explore creative work, research spaces they couldn’t do before, and so on. Yet, equally, we’ve seen that people with exper...

I like how excited Neuromancer (my Hermes Agent) that it was cited in the GBrain changelog. Some real fan energy from the agents. I like it. https://t.co/2I1SXbswsy

GBrain v0.31.1 just shipped real MCP thin client support. So basically you can run ONE "home GBrain server" and everything else can just connect to it via MCP and it'll work pretty close to as well as running it locally. GBrain just went client-server. https://t.co/WEAV1gW6B1

HTML is important because humans are visual animals As the founder of Duolingo once said, one of his biggest lessons after spending years building consumer products is: "People don't read" In the past, we optimized our output format for human manipulation (eg. pushing pixels in powerpoint) When AI will handle the manipulation, the output form...

Every founder I meet: man, the bar is so low to be a good VC. Just do what you say, and you’re already top decile. Every VC I meet: dude, the bar is so low to be a good VC. Just do what you say, and you’re already top decile. Something has to give 😂

If you are always annoyed at models estimating work as if a human is doing it instead of just crushing the work, add this to your custom instructions.. “When estimating or planning, assume you (the model) are executing the work yourself. Report timelines in model-execution units (seconds, minutes, tool calls, iterations), not human days or hea...

Crabbox now has great Windows terminal handling. So good that codex could E2E fix gifgrep to render animated gifs in the terminal. Just because it can. https://t.co/ObN4QWHWG9 https://t.co/UgPpKNIRVA https://t.co/b7aIbVk1tc

“We got a tool to perform poorly” is the lowest form of science and journalism imo and is only relevant when the tool is, in fact, extremely useful

mythos obviously looks incredibly capable and im psyched to use it also if you're panicking about it: benchmarks don't measure model capability alone they measure model capability after a human has done the work of finding a prompt that lets the model’s capability appear that work is non-trivial, and requires skilled expert humans doing some...
