Instead of anger, I think one of the few take aways from Peter Steinberg Mr Open Claw was his view on agentic empathy.

How would I try to compute things with the amount of context? But quickly it turns into a blame game, of at parts trying to give WAY too much context.

It feels like you hit a wall. The moment for me was Astra first day of release. It felt like everything I've done up to that point was meaningless, or perhaps that's too harsh; let's call it art projects.

I've been carrying more notebooks, being fine with terminals being idle and focused on 'what is actually being created', and what will remain?

Eager for the update! I assume there's already a couple of early hypotheses on the system.

Even more interesting to know when X.com, famously published its algorithm. Perhaps someday we'll find the fairest of them all

But it does feel like intentional doom-scrolling exists, some of it intentional that can be so inspiring. Mainly when I'm keeping in mind "what will I remember", some of it truly stick

Feels like the former classic software engineers will go deeper into the technical stack, moving away from frontend/design and flashy things

Isn't that the ANTI AI SLOP policy?

Don't see it as any worse then copy paste outreach honeslty, just glad if people have more context on me before pursuiting

Also feels like generally just being authentic

Questions are great, the more common 'nice talk' barely makes anything. Also sometimes it feels over-engineered trying to make a smart or memorable comment.

Agree with the general concept

Spend some time on post-human art, main concept of artistic expressions without human involvement. Biological, artificial etc.

Spend some time watching TMC documentaries about falling in love with objects, HER and the slime mold THE BLOB.

Grew a slime mold myself, it's an evolutionary tendency to anthropomorphise generally speaking - also more fun.

In the unificaton of knowledge work, doesn't everyone think all other jobs are just a prompt away?

Took to the beach for this vacation, designed to be purposely boring. Still brought my computers and thought, "what projects will remain, once I feel the ocean breeze". The hype and pressure of reset and de-brainrot didn't do much.

But the summer has its way, everyone around me is looking for a fresh start.

Great read, but haven't formed an opinion on it. I'll pass it over to my agents to assess it adequately.

We all like consistency too, the name as the entry for the entire universe. Seems to be the most popular with a single verb now

Relay, Maker

Always falling in love with the anti-trend: humongously long names.

Smooth experience, quick launch! most of my manual things I still feel more comfortable in FCP, though and the agentic run I'd like to keep fully in text form! I'll run some more tests and keep ya posted. Good job!

As an old FCP person, this has scratched my brain too, Davinci seems to be furtherst along on the MCP race.

Tying your tool out and gather up some feedback!

I have to admit, after the podcast I feel a strange sense of calming. It's for sure a more interesting approach of skepticism compared to many of the other doomsday prophets of AGI, or environmental plays.

But for sure it's a branding play

True that, but generally electric toothbrushes come in at what around 40-60 bucks right now? If i spend the weekend with the guys I would be impressed with the camera toothbrush though

Waterpik has been a fun and messy ride but beats the threading and daunting manual labour.

Perfect thread to read through some good use cases instead of the one-shot game plays across x.com

First impression: the model seems kind. Always intriguing
