1y ago I had a crazy idea to let people write JAM services in JavaScript-like lang. A balance to steep-learning-curve Rust that is prevalent in Polkadot. Today, let me present as-lan: github.com/tomusdrw/as-lan Let's iterate fast, since JAM service patterns are yet TBD.

I was never very active on X, but I intend to change that and report on the things I am building. Stay tuned.

AI KYC is here. New claude subscribers asked for gov ID & photo. Not even a regulatory requirement - Anthropic just doing it because they want to. But regulatory is coming Next up will be laws: No AI without gov-issued ID All AI use tracked to individual - no private AI

Terence Tao proposes what he calls a "Copernican view of intelligence". Instead of buying into the common, one-dimensional narrative that artificial intelligence will simply evolve from "subhuman" to "superhuman" and ultimately make humanity entirely redundant, Tao urges us to look at the bigger picture. Much like the Copernican revolution proved the Earth is not the center of the universe, Tao suggests we need to realize that human intelligence isn't the only, or necessarily the highest, form of intellect. Historically, we have treated other forms of storing or creating knowledge—like animals, books, and computers—as secondary. However, we actually exist within a much richer universe of intelligence. Both human intelligence and computer intelligence possess their own distinct strengths and weaknesses. The true potential lies not in viewing them as direct competitors, but rather in focusing on collaboration. By working together, humans and computers can achieve additional things that neither could accomplish on their own, requiring us to think in much wider terms than just what humans or computers can do alone.

write access is wild

Peter Steinberger told me that he wants PR to be "prompt request". His agents are perfectly capable of implementing most ideas, so there is no need to take your idea, expand it into a vibe coded mess using free tier ChatGPT and send that as a PR, which is now most PRs.

this isn't a huge deal but this is really the flavor of our times everything is just sloppy. everything has 20% margin of error. nothing has precision just automate it. just select all. just make ai figure it out i do it too and it all adds up to a gross feeling world

/btw Yesterday we held a wonderful cozy meetup dedicated to vibe coding with Claude Code in Wrocław, at the co-vibing space by @fluffylabs_dev. Thanks to @tomusdrw 7 people showed up from different AI verticals (finance, medicine, consumer apps). We vibed a bit together, and there’s a strong desire to scale these events So, whoever’s reading this from @AnthropicAI — I’m open to serious involvement as an ambassador for @claudeai

Every story has its continuation. My ambassadorship for @claudeai without official ambassadorship already evolving. We are preparing a series of two events in the coming days in Wrocław. The first event will be in a cozy format, around 12 to 15 people, to seed the buzz and activate word of mouth. Later we will host a larger event with speakers and panels for 40 to 50 people. Wrocław folks, stay tuned. The venue is already set - a nice, friendly spot (in the photo). Thanks @tomusdrw

this is so good

How I build: by voice chatting w/ @ClaudeAI What I build: 3 projects simultaneously Who my team: 13 agents on 3 VPSs How I promote: post and stream on X (haven’t had much time to add that to the pipeline yet. still day one learning @AnthropicAI Claude Code and mastering my skills) What’s my growth: compared to last week I’ve already freed up some time to search, read and post on X (wanna give a read to my saved posts) What’s next: one more project (for local community, dedicated to languages 🇺🇦 🇵🇱). Yes, I’m serious about being a Claude Code ambassador.

I know there is some overlap between open source and anti-AI activists, but I have a hard time reconciling it. My million open source LOC were always intended as a gift to the world. Yes, I would make arguments about how it would strengthen our communities, and the GPL would prevent outright exploitation by our competitors, but those were to allay fears of my partners to allow me to make the gift. AI training on the code magnifies the value of the gift. I am enthusiastic about it! Some people do look at open source as a tool for social change, career advancement, or reputation building, but those are all downstream of the gift.
