BREAKING NEWS: God joins Anthropic as member of technical staff

'fix the implementation' doesn't go viral the way 'MCP is dead' does. So here we are.

All of the complaints here about MCPs are valid but this is an unnecessarily binary framing. The agent still needs to know what integrations exist and when to invoke them. Whether it's an MCP tool description or a filename in your saved library, you're still paying a discovery cost somewhere. What you've actually built is a persistent environment with an Al agent that can write and run code. That's a cool product, just say that. The honest framing is 'MCPs work well for the 80% of OOTB use cases & our product is great for the 20% that need custom logic and a persistent place to run it.' That is a perfectly compelling product story, but instead we get 'MCP is fundamentally broken' which is just a product launch dessed as an architecture post. We need more honest framing not less!!

Tokenizing T-Bills was only a systems integration test to prove the rails work. Now comes the hard part: financializing the messy, illiquid Long Tail of RWAs.

The future is concurrent. Speed creates chaos; engineering controls it. New research addresses the unique dynamics of MCP. Duplicate-Aware Payouts & Priority-DAGs break the monopoly and neutralize same-tick extraction. Split the tips. Order by priority. Simple, robust, & fast.

ermmm guys

i wonder if training LLMs with a simulated betting / prediction market during reinforcement learning (where models think they're betting $ on answer accuracy) would lead to more thoughtful outputs than otherwise arbitrary reward systems used in RL? we already see better accuracy when models adopt narrow roles (i.e. pretend ur a biologist). would we see better outputs if we added a more explicit betting narrative into RL reward systems, where the stakes 'feel' higher for the model?

LFG!

i'm becoming increasingly bearish on the current state of LLMs. theyre over-optimized for convincingness vs accuracy/truth. we get decent results because the truth is usually the most convincing answer too, but this alignment design feels fragile as fuck.

🚨 There’s a large-scale supply chain attack in progress: the NPM account of a reputable developer has been compromised. The affected packages have already been downloaded over 1 billion times, meaning the entire JavaScript ecosystem may be at risk. The malicious payload works by silently swapping crypto addresses on the fly to steal funds. If you use a hardware wallet, pay attention to every transaction before signing and you're safe. If you don’t use a hardware wallet, refrain from making any on-chain transactions for now. It’s still unclear whether the attacker is also stealing seeds from software wallets directly at this stage.

From MIT to MegaETH → powering Ethereum in real-time. Former @MIT PhD researcher @yangl1996, now Cofounder & CTO @megaeth, will talk about how real-time consensus and synchronization will transform Ethereum’s ecosystem. 🧵Attend this session at ETHBoston 👇

- rebranding before knowing why nobody understood the old brand - assuming partners will market you properly without a thorough co-marketing plan, SOW, & measurement - using grants as CAC then acting shocked by mercenary behavior - treating support like a cost center instead of conversion engine - viewing conferences as a gtm strategy instead of a pipeline checkpoint - ignoring SEO and lifecycle email because “we’re crypto, not saas” - paying for shill threads instead of shipping case studies and customer proofs - copying the leading protocols' meme palette and calling it brand - pasting the same content to every channel instead of programming each one - still?? spraying partner logos with zero shipped integrations or joint stories
