We love puzzles, so we acquired the secret to one of the most notorious puzzles in cryptographic history.
Kryptos is a sculpture at CIA headquarters with an encrypted message on it. The final 97 characters of it have never been solved.
Here's what we're doing with the solution.

one of the surest signs that we’re on a singularity timeline is how quickly people begin forgetting what used to be impossible
deeply enjoy the class of twitter netrunner adrenaline junkies that will be invariably disappointed by the release of superintelligent models. “bro the unicorn SVG only barely shattered my mind with its beauty ”

Using Codex app recently has been the first indication of what the future operating system looks like, where every “app” on your computer is just a backend for the model

1/ We spent the last few days integrating Centaur github.com/paradigmxyz/centa… into Pareto Credit as an internal AI teammate.
This is one of the first AI infra projects that actually made me think: “ok, this is how company agents should work.”

If the *only* impact of LLMs professionally was causing people to "think out loud" in a way which was routinely captured by computer systems and then could be operated on by computer systems, that would *by itself* be one of the most consequential changes in practice in 100 years

Incredible value in the log files, too, because they’re contemporaneous candid notes of what I was thinking and doing, in better fidelity than I’ve ever had before.
Terminal logs are great but don’t include annotations like “Dead end; ignoring that line of inquiry.”

Currently it is shocking and newsworthy when AIs solve an important open problem that humans couldn't
Before AI totally surpass us intellectually, there will be an interesting era, where it will be just as shocking (but not impossible) for a human to solve a problem AI couldn't

one of the most insanely valuable things anyone has launched as an open source project this year and it only has 225 stars so far because it is complex and not a larpy download this to solve world hunger style app😅

Self-recommending. The good folks at @paradigm and @tempo have consistently been far ahead of basically everyone else in using agents. They've pushed Amp further and harder than any other team on a per capita basis.

Huge launch. Self-hosted agent systems are the future, and egress enforcement is what makes them safe.
iron-proxy is the egress layer inside centaur. We went deep on the hard parts like OAuth brokering, HMAC signing, and Postgres MITM for RLS.

This year, Centaur made working at @paradigm feel more like a multiplayer game. Solo queuing Claude all day is OK, but you really can go much farther together.
If you’re interested in contributing to Centaur with me and @gakonst, DMs open

Excited for Paradigm to co-lead this $110M investment in SendCutSend alongside @andrew__reed, @patrickc, and @collision.
24h turnaround manufacturing that your favorite robot, defense, space, and car companies all use.
Grateful that @jimbelosic allowed us all to get involved.

by week two of running /goal seriously, you have derived middle management from first principles
by week three, you’ve named all of your loops after the coworkers they emulate
by month two, you report to one
