Fair point and good counter argument. Too bad jimmychat.ai doesn’t have api access anymore.

When they launched their business model was to be a pure API for intelligence. Then when everyone claimed they were just commodities with no moat and they shifted hard to being the app layer. That was the transition.

They went from selling shovels to all gold prospectors to stealing the information about the location of the gold so they could dig it out first.

We are all stupid enough to keep buying shovels from them because we think their shovels dig gold better and faster.

No offense taken. I am not building it for fame or profit.

I built it because I wanted cursor on my phone because I have two small kids and don’t want to be chained to my desk. And it’s awesome. It’s a full ide with agent chat, terminal and file system running in a remote Linux container. I can review diffs, fully manage git and preview/serve apps. And no one can ever take it away from me :)

I am watching the way things are progressing with the ai api vendors and it feels really clear that depending on them will soon be dangerous. So I an furiously building as much of my own infrastructure to capture some autonomy with these capabilities

So I think everyone should build a harness.

All of the api calls developers used to build agentic design patterns.

I have encountered this too. I am building a coding harness for www.propelcode.app and it was working really well until the claude code leak and then all of the sudden it seems almost intentionally stupid or outright manipulative in guiding me down wrong paths. At this point I am using other models for anything related to the tool use design and implementation and bought three mac studios with 512gb ram to run large open source models.

This experience has made me feel like we have to create a community that moves AI from the mainframe era to the PC era quickly, or we will end up serfs.

I am building a coding harness, and I see evidence of them doing this with agentic harnesses and scaffolding. It feels clear to me that as they expand in to the app layer, the window of using their API to build agentic apps is closing, they will steal your ideas, implement the product and then close the gate. I am creating my own inference stack because their incentive to block competitors is becoming super clear.

Or, they may Mythos seem mystically powerful in advance of the IPO, and are pumping the token use count. But it worked, there is a frenzy for this release in way that is more intense than any previous release.

Anthropic is doing a better job with their model menu, most people I talk to know immediately that Opus > Sonnet > Haiku but cant tell you what the rank order of open ai models are, when to use them, etc.

ding ding ding. This should be a new measure of anticompetitive analysis in anti trust law.

I think his use of crocodile tears is appropriate, anthropic is feigning a false sense of concern for safety when really it is anticompetitive behavior, and I think that selfish entitlement is related to the original act of intellectual property theft to use the worlds training data, most of which was not public domain, to distill the wisdom for their models. So why do they get to cry about people distilling the knowledge from their models that they themselves distilled from the worlds knowledge?

It the tool was made available to anyone to build a virus, anyone would be able to build counter measures, if only a select few people have access they get to build the virus and everyone else is at a disadvantage. So, yes, I am leaning towards making these tools open rather than gated behind some priesthood and government that gets to wield exclusive power.

This feels less like an "we are worried about security" and more, we are in the lead and plan to keep it that way until its too late. In someways its been helpful that openai and anthropic are tipping their hands about their anticompetitive instincts and willingness to steamroll their own clients, customers, and society. But it does feel like its too late to stop this. The advantage people get by using these tools is too tempting to resist even if it is self defeating. It feels like watching people light their own house on fire to stay warm in the deepest, darkest days of winter.

Am I the only one that doesn’t care about speed? I want it to not do stupid stuff and to be cheaper.

Micro.mu looks interesting, your description of daily digital habits made me think it was a productivity app, when it really is more of a dashboard for different channels of content on the internet (social, video, chat, etc.) what was your original vision? I am curios. Also I really like the design, its so clean, Ive never seen anything quite like it and yet it seems like such a good aesthetic that should have been obvious. kuddos.

www.propelcode.app - cursor on my phone. www.propelagent.app - voice agent for my home health care agency, but it also tells bed time stories to me and my daughter a few times a month.

I also built a new web framework we use internally which is amazing. We might open source it soon. It has a postman clone that has a bunch of features I wanted. It really is the case that we can just build tools any time we want.

I agree. I feel like sonnet 4.6 is sufficient for almost everything. Beyond that level it feels like the orchestration is more important.

That being said the models still surprise me with a broad range of hallucinations, lack of epistemology or common sense or inability to follow instructions on a daily basis.

Today it was trying to get opus 4.8 to just follow a simple architectural pattern for controllers in a rails app. It was pulling teeth out of a shark.

You absolutely need to get inflation adjusted bonds. Otherwise you’ll get wiped out. I am in the krugman, stiglitz monetary camp; so not prone to constant fear of hyperinflation but what the government is doing makes inflation certain and the only way out a fairly painful recession either of will be hard on equity and bonds.

The market of a good leader is a lack of chaos. We are seeing the effects of a chaotic mind untethered from an accurate view of reality. Buckle up

I’ve never seen anything like this. Really cool to see a UX that is totally novel.

This feels like the notorious Dropbox objections when it launched. Just because it's easy to you doesn't mean it's easy for everyone. I can see this being really useful for my product which is cursor on my phone/computer/and browser. I built an IDE with a Linux container so I could have a real dev environment and file system on my iPhone. It let's me code at the beach with my kids (plan and epic have the AI do a massive pull request while I am having fun for 30 mins with the family. Spend 5 minutes giving the code a look which often finds some large concerns that warrant a new prompt etc). The containers were actually a huge pain to set up and I am still not satisfied with my implementation.

I'll definitely check this out. This project is actually perfect for several projects i am working on.
