You thinking of moving to management or not? Well, I'd say before you do that invest at least 10 minutes to get a glimpse from you what that (brutal) change can mean for you!

slop has always been the opposite of craft

Before AI, I’d spend a weekend building 1 useless app. Now I can build 67 useless apps over a weekend, each with a logo, a fancy webpage, and 0 user.

I really don't get the hype about skills. They are just docs. Just write docs and ship them inside your packages.

At this point Claude should just re-release Opus 4.6 as Opus 4.8 and it would look like an improvement

1/2 Why AI is unlikely to become conscious – my 2026 @TEDTalks is now online. What do you think about the prospects for 'conscious AI'? ted.com/talks/anil_seth_why_…

This week it looks like @SpotifyEng & Product can't stop shipping; As a paying customer (Spotify Family) I'm now randomly getting Ads inserted randomly. I hope this is 100% a Bug (too much vibe coding with the AI Slack Bot?).

My intern is trying to find "Jason's desk" because the Senior Dev said we need to "send the data to JSON" 😭😭

We conducted cyber evaluations of Claude Mythos Preview and found that it is the first model to complete an AISI cyber range end-to-end. 🧵

gaslighting as a service (GaaS)

I‘m visiting the military history museum in Vienna, walking the paths and realizing a lot of post WW1/2 conflicts are rooted in this history 🤯🫠

FFmpeg is moving to Rust 🦀 Our use of C and Assembly in FFmpeg has been an unacceptable violation of safety. FFmpeg will be running 10x slower - but we're doing it for your safety. All your videos will appear green - safety first, working software later.

The next step for autoresearch is that it has to be asynchronously massively collaborative for agents (think: SETI@home style). The goal is not to emulate a single PhD student, it's to emulate a research community of them. Current code synchronously grows a single thread of commits in a particular research direction. But the original repo is more of a seed, from which could sprout commits contributed by agents on all kinds of different research directions or for different compute platforms. Git(Hub) is *almost* but not really suited for this. It has a softly built in assumption of one "master" branch, which temporarily forks off into PRs just to merge back a bit later. I tried to prototype something super lightweight that could have a flavor of this, e.g. just a Discussion, written by my agent as a summary of its overnight run: github.com/karpathy/autorese… Alternatively, a PR has the benefit of exact commits: github.com/karpathy/autorese… but you'd never want to actually merge it... You'd just want to "adopt" and accumulate branches of commits. But even in this lightweight way, you could ask your agent to first read the Discussions/PRs using GitHub CLI for inspiration, and after its research is done, contribute a little "paper" of findings back. I'm not actually exactly sure what this should look like, but it's a big idea that is more general than just the autoresearch repo specifically. Agents can in principle easily juggle and collaborate on thousands of commits across arbitrary branch structures. Existing abstractions will accumulate stress as intelligence, attention and tenacity cease to be bottlenecks.

Excited to share that I've stepped into a new role as VP of the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) 🎉 As AI reshapes our industry, it's critical that this technology evolves in ways that are open and collaborative. Hosted by the Linux Foundation, @AgenticAIFdn is a neutral organization focused on advancing adoption of key open source efforts like MCP, AGENTS.md, and Goose. Our members include Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, AWS, Microsoft, and 100 others. This work is bigger than any single company or product. I'm ecstatic to help drive AI adoption and interoperability at an industry-wide level.

Looks like TACOs everywhere folks

Short thought: - Platforms should invest into proper CLI not MCP. - CLI >> MCP. I see less and less value in MCPs creating huge bloated Context vs. Coding Agents having skills, knowledge of CLI cmds to use. with CLIs we know how to do auth/security.

If LLMs came out in 2008, the most popular prompt by far would be "make it work in IE6"

How come in the last years / decades most tech influencers never had a word or two about politics until now Anthropic pushed back on something they believe is not what they see Claude should be used at? Like now you wanna share your opinion? Because you want to be seen in hype?

Interesting that you just have to bang aggressively enough over long period of time to finally crack even AI. Seems very human 😅 at one point Claude is like "Ok, ok, ok.."
