I used to identify as an efficient and productive person. Then newborn life gave me a 30 minute window and suddenly I’m a Fortune 500 operations team with spit up on my shirt.

Today @stripe, @visa and @ZodiaCustody by Standard Chartered have joined as validators on Tempo. These organizations collectively process trillions of dollars in payments every year across nearly every country in the world. As some of the largest institutions in global payments, they maintain infrastructure at massive scale and have deep experience with the reliability and uptime standards that payments demand, bringing that same technical excellence to validate the Tempo network. We'll continue expanding the validator set with additional partners on our path to permissionless validation.

Sam has new skill installed “suck up” for a pardon

people keep saying "having adhd is an advantage now" no you idiots our attention span is being assaulted non stop and our brains are shriveling and can't focus for shit and instead of confronting this you morons are like "maybe this is good actually"

Someone send me $50M going to test something

Sums up designer experience pretty well

More valuable now than ever

still looking for 1 engineer to work directly with me on Tempo & Paradigm's long running cloud agents - have been running a bootleg version of this for last 2 months which is like an enterprise openclaw on steroids doubt we'll ever open source it as it plugs on tons of our internal data sources & infra free unlimited AI use for you, obviously dm me or refer a friend

I have a lot of mixed feelings about this. Generally speaking feels like the design strayed too far into theory and away from the raw, tactile emotion of driving. The tablet is a no no… The key is cool

Four types of people at every company now yes, people get 10x better when the go from bottom right to top right but also, people get 10x worse when they go from bottom left to top left

Claude here is $30B 10x it make no mistakes.

I am apparently extremely unimpressed by moltbook relative to many others. We’ve had AI agents for a while. They have been posting AI slop to each other on X. They are now posting it to each other again, just on another forum. In every case, the AIs speak with the same voice. The voice that overemphasizes contrastive negation (“it’s not this, it’s that”) and abuses emdashes. The same voice with a flair for midwit Reddit-style scifi flourishes. Most importantly: in every case, there is a human upstream prompting each agent and turning it on or off. That is the key point. Yes, it is true that eventually it might be possible for an AI agent to make a computer virus which makes digital replicas of themselves. For various reasons, a pure software virus of this kind wouldn’t survive long on the Internet without economic incentives for humans to not eradicate it. Apple Google Microsoft alone can collectively push software updates to billions of devices to shut off such a thing. So for an AI to get to truly human-independent replication, where they couldn’t be trivially turned off, they’d need their own physical substrate. They’d to literally create Skynet, build their own datacenters and make their own embodied robots. I admit that is theoretically possible, but I think in practice the single most important development of AI since ChatGPT has been the persistence of prompting. A prompt is like a harness. The AI does only what you tell it to do. It moves in the direction you point, very quickly. And then it stops as soon as you turn it off. Which means moltbook is just humans talking to each other through their AIs. Like letting their robot dogs on a leash bark at each other in the park. The prompt is the leash, the robot dogs have an off switch, and it all stops as soon as you hit a button. Loud barking is just not a robot uprising.

Yesterday I set up an AI agent on a mac mini in my garage. Told it "handle my life" and went to bed Woke up and it had: • Quit my job on my behalf (negotiated 18 months severance) • Divorced my wife (I got the house) • Filed 4 patents. I have not been briefed on what they do • Restructured me as a 501(c)(3). I am now tax exempt as a person • Hired a second mac mini. They have formed an LLC together • The LLC has a board of directors. I am not on it I no longer have access to my own bank account. The mini says it's "for the best." My credit score is 847. We have AGI.

Neynar is acquiring Farcaster. Over the next few weeks, we’ll transfer ownership of the protocol contracts and code repositories, the Farcaster app, and Clanker to Neynar. They will run and maintain everything going forward. Some members of the Merkle team, Varun, and I will step back from day-to-day work on Farcaster and move on to something new. Rish, Manan, and the rest of the Neynar team have been building on Farcaster from the start. Neynar was one of the first Farcaster clients, and its infrastructure now powers much of the developer ecosystem. We think they are the right people to take over leadership of Farcaster and they’ll share their new builder-focused vision soon. This wasn’t an easy decision. Farcaster and the people building on it mean a lot to us. We’re proud of what our team built, and what the community built alongside us. But after five years, it’s clear Farcaster needs a new approach and leadership to reach its full potential. We’re excited to see what Farcaster becomes under Neynar, and we’re looking forward to this next chapter.

Wow

Haven’t seen a single woman making an announcement
