We're open sourcing our powerful internal model for agentic management of development issues and features and user feedback and interactions. State management for the full product lifecycle.

We are watching the traditional "click farm" get a massive AI upgrade. Rows of smartphones rigged with mechanical styluses are now swiping 24/7. But instead of dumb, repetitive tapping, an AI brain is driving the behavior to evade detection: → Adapting to UI changes in real-time → Mimicking human scrolling and natural pauses → Generating context-aware comments AI handles the behavioral bypass. Robotics handle the physical bypass. For platforms, separating a real user from this level of fraud just got exponentially harder.

Claude Code is almost unusable now. Gave it a super simple task... churning on it for 45 minutes now. So far. Cancelled. Not going back unless this gets fixed.

They did try to warn us.

Disclosure Day: Hate to be a buzzkill, but... meh. Story was kinda weak and more or less what you would expect. Lots of agents chasing the truth tellers. Normal standard stuff. It's all about "the files", which are videos. Let's face it, if this would happen today there is ZERO way you could know that it wasn't AI generated. Images and video are proof of nothing. Has more of a tone of a Fairy Tale than a scifi thriller. Most of the plot involves standard psychic mystical stuff. Heck there's even an alien Magic Wand. OK we get an alien reveal on live TV at the end... but for story purposes....like so expected. Close Encounters was WAAAAY better as a film. Not even remotely close.

Lots of legitimate points here. But reading text with the eyes is not the only way to consume written material. Listening to text read aloud is also a good method of gaining comprehension and analytical skills, or even doing both at the same time with highlighted text. That's one of the reasons I'm building Inti Reader, a SOTA platform for personal Library curation and audio reading.

We started @tricrobotics to help farmers grow healthier, more sustainable food for everyone. In just a few years, we’ve gone from early pilots to a fleet of tractor-scale robots using UV light and bug vacuums on some of the largest strawberry farms in California. We've treated tens of thousands of acres and we’re doubling our fleet every year. Every machine means less reliance on chemical pesticides, better tools for growers, and a more resilient food system for everyone. It’s not just about the robots. It also takes a great team. Reach out if you want to help us build the future of agriculture!

FINALLY someone in SV is starting to "get it"! @satyanadella nails many valid points here. The Monolithic Model paradigm is not the ultimate shape of AI. The future of AI is in the POND: Personal & Private On-device & On-premise Nodal & Networked Distributed & Decentralized

GPT 5.5 already basically matches Anthropic’s Fable 5 coding performance at around 50% of the cost. That’s wild. If GPT 5.6 lands the way I think it will, Fable might become irrelevant almost overnight. The only real question now is will we all get access?

The permissioned path does not arrive as tyranny. It arrives as convenience. A society can lose its freedom this way without a single dramatic moment, simply by routing more of its thinking through infrastructure that answers to someone else. We must protect open source and open source models

Claude Code taking 10 minutes (so far) to do a compaction. I mean, WTF??? This thing is BROKEN.

UPDATE: Disclosure Day Movie It was Sold Out, I was early. It is a solid movie with a beautiful storyline and an accurate grasp of the situation. The writers did their research and dove in to the telepathic and physical aspect of the phenomenon. I went in with an open mind but truth is I was biased to the negative. I was turned around. It is not about the special effects but the nuanced treatment of the subject and contacted. A good tenderizer for what is up ahead for us. The audience clapped.

I am fully supporting all open frontier AI models, including GLM-5.2 and @Zai_org .

Kimi 2.7 ranked 2nd after Fable 5 and before GPT-5 xhigh We have re-run our ErdosBench smoke test on 14 problems with Kimi 2.7, Qwen 3.7 Max, Grok 4.3 and compared it with the top performers from previous runs. Kimi 2.7 is amazingly good. More below.

In a rare interview, Tolkien is asked why he spent 14 years building the world of The Lord of the Rings. His answer reveals a philosophy of creation rooted in something deeper than storytelling. When pressed on whether the hobbits and their world emerged from his unconscious, Tolkien pushes back. He describes himself as a "meticulous sort of bloke" who spent those years "finding time schemes and getting everything right." The appendices, the languages, the social customs, and the histories all existed before the story itself. In fact, the world came first. The Hobbit was almost an accident: "It existed in posy and in large scale plan before The Hobbit was written. The Hobbit was intact originally an attempt to write something outside it and drew into it." The interviewer, surprised, asks why. Why create an entire world before writing a single story within it? Tolkien's response gets to the heart of his creative philosophy: "Because being made by a creator, one of our natural factors is wishing to create. But since we aren't creators, we have to subcreate. Let's say we have to rearrange the primary material in some particular form which pleases us, which may it isn't necessarily a moral pleasing. It's partly aesthetic pleasing." This idea of subcreation is central to Tolkien's worldview. Humans cannot create something from nothing, but they can reshape what already exists into forms that satisfy an aesthetic vision, not merely a moral one. When the interviewer suggests that moral concerns should outweigh aesthetic ones, Tolkien disagrees. He argues that an "aesthetic facet is as strongly to be predicated as a moral one in this world." On the question of good and evil, Tolkien explains that the Dark Lord was not always dark. He fell, "several stages down of Lucifer." The One Ring, he says, represents "a power so enormous that even if a good man were to use it against a bad it would corrupt the good man." He emphasizes that this idea predates the atomic bomb. He had been developing these stories since his undergraduate years, long before modern allegorical interpretations could be applied. Asked whether he would rather be remembered as a man who said something or a man who made something, Tolkien rejects the distinction: "I don't think you can distinguish. The made things unless it says something won't be remembered."

The key to saving the environment is not looking backward, it’s moving forward. I realized this the first time I visited Italy twenty years ago. Everything was clean and green. The rivers sparkled. The lesson for me was obvious: the answer is not underdevelopment. The answer is progress. When China was poor, the air was so polluted that people could barely see the blue sky. Today, blue skies have returned to their cities. Development does not only create wealth, it also provides the resources needed to restore and protect the environment. Some environmentalists want us to preserve every aspect of our biodiversity, including the mosquitoes for example, so that researchers can fly in once every ten years from their universities (which build particle accelerators and billion-dollar laboratories with their pocket money), study our ecosystems, and count how many people died from dengue outbreaks. They want to buy our air through carbon credits. If carbon credits were such a great deal, they would be selling them to us, not the other way around. Cleaning every river, lake, and water source in El Salvador, and ensuring they remain clean and sparkling, would cost roughly $12 billion. Where is that money supposed to come from without economic development? Carbon credits? The path forward for our country is the path of Japan and Singapore, not the path of the Congo.

If you could get real Codex 5.5 performance in a local model on this box, I would buy it. We're not quite there yet. 6 months.

Imma be majorly PO'd if GPT 5.6 can't release and be what it was supposed to be bc of Dario's idiocy. I was counting on it so I can bloody BUILD. Fortunately I am getting real work done with Codex 5.5 . Also, I tried a few Chinese models on OpenCode and... guess what? They get it done for many tasks.

At Claude Build day several builders made the same point to me. Well we have gotten the AI slowdown lots wanted. Until the Chinese do it. American companies are handcuffed. For now.
