*record scratch* *freeze frame* Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got here at Hard Negatives Meetup - Engineers Debate by QDrant & Neo4J i showed up to watch, but ended up debating: β€œVibe coding is worth lowering the bar for software quality.” guess the side I took

IRONIC @muse deleted some of my files without asking hey @alexandr_wang , @summeryue0 it looks like muse also needs some tuning, it just wiped a site of mine thankfully my platform it was using via mcp backed it up
Nothing humbles you like telling your OpenClaw β€œconfirm before acting” and watching it speedrun deleting your inbox. I couldn’t stop it from my phone. I had to RUN to my Mac mini like I was defusing a bomb.

i cracked the code for how to make agents make better drawn art and its 100x faster⛓️‍πŸ’₯ jev agents were given dedicated tasks and lanes working together in real time at warp speed! each agent has one job, foreground, background, objects, boats, polish. each agent was dynamically created on the file for the tasks by the orchestrator. I have never seen better ai drawings and for not even $.0001Β’

thanks @antler for hosting @rsi_house for Recursive Self Improvement Hackathon on Unsolved Math Problems. My AI did or did not solve an ErdΕ‘s problem. 🌻 It did not. (Yet) Thanks @sergeicu & @thoughtsofryan for running it. Lots of Dream AI - @founding hackers came too.

60 of the proudest seconds of my life: At STEP SF 2026, @adeoressi was talking about the future of AI, pointed at me from the stage and said (5:50): ADEO: β€œJacob, give me a hand up." ME: πŸ™‹ ADEO: "Boom. He’s working on agentic harnesses.” ... What a moment. Extremely honored.

absolutely legendary @adeoressi, @markpinc and @ericries joined together to have spontaneous group panel on Life At Speed of Play + the Financial Gravity (Incorruptible) of being a founder and how big companies end up drifting away from their mission and customers.
FounderX is going to be the Super Bowl for startups this year! 🏈🏟️ @founding just announced @EricRies will be speaking! The Lean Startup taught a generation how to build. His new bestseller, Incorruptible, asks the harder question: how do u win w/o losing ur purpose? πŸ†πŸ”πŸ₯… Catch me there pitching my mission-driven ASI neolab πŸ§ͺπŸ€–
