ANNOUNCING TRANSIT AI - An SSH Client with a READ-ONLY agent built in.
Most āAI for networksā tools want write access to your production gear.
I think thatās reckless.
So I built the opposite. Itās live today. š§µ

I recently rooted my 3 TVs, removed all apps, stopped most services, and disabled its internet access (LAN and local SSH only). I just use an Apple TV over HDMI anyways so there is no reason at all for this nonsense on my TV.

Amid rising prices and AI adoption, US corporations are looking reduce expenses and increase efficiency.
Keep watching the labor market.

If your company refers to engineers as the IT department, you have nothing to worry about. You were already breached last week.

as bad as things have gotten in the past 4 days, they are going to get a lot worse before they get better. security leaders, never let a crisis go to waste: please go to your boards and ask for help right now. not for ai, for the basics. (we need to hold on for ~18 months.)
Iām either going to be really really disappointed or really really relieved and nothing in between

Software isnāt dead. The value of software is about to be redistributed from ~10 corporations to the masses. It will be difficult to make life changing money from software and technology in 5-10 years.
Really, Silicon Valley and the A16/YC complex is what is dead.
Saying software is dead because anyone can build it is like saying photography is dead now that everyone in the world has a camera in their pocket
Not only is it not dead it's the beginning of the Kodak Brownie moment for software, and we will see an absolute explosion of it
It will be the first generation for who building software will feel no different than using it. This is crazy!
The quality and bar of what we expect from our everyday apps will be raised dramatically, we'll have personal software, we'll have disposable software, and agents will be the foundation for most of it
Tech has always been chaotic and evolving, the people who have been able to adapt and move in front of new opportunities have always excelled, this is nothing new, I'm seeing it now and we'll see it 10 years from now
Find the opportunities in the chaose and disruption, there are countless of them

I've never been more excited to hit merge on a PR than I was for this one. š
It took 15 people on five continents to get here.
@jondkinney kept a branch alive for almost a year. @tiredkebab's fork pushed the idea further. Then came a lot of long conversations with @maralcbr and @bi9kahuna to get it over the line.
Major props to the rest of the Omarchy M team who helped in various ways as well: @martiano @riverleaf88 @buildwithdjdev @RyanTheTide @Acelogic_ @LiamRay1O @ewninjaofficial @jaidipsubedi @JoshuaSWarren @shawnyeager @novuon_ai @SiliconForested
Thank you all. This one's special, and lays important groundwork.

SIMD-0525 mission accomplished: 200ms slots are now live on mainnet-beta.
Blocks land twice as often as they did at genesis. An epoch now takes about a day instead of two.
IBRL
Final slot reduction step: 200ms slots activation now pending on mainnet-beta.
400 ā 350 ā 300 ā 250 ā 200ms
Reminder, SIMD-0525 features take effect one epoch after they activate. Thus, will go live at the epoch 1053 boundary ~15:00 UTC, Friday Oct 9th.
- epoch 1051: pending activationāØ- epoch 1052: feature activeāØ- epoch 1053: 200ms slots live

a weird inversion with LLMs is the models improve faster than the tinkerers
when i see people with custom workflows and setups they're all addressing problems that don't exist anymore
the person naively using vanilla codex is more likely to be experiencing state of the art
.@OpenAI Dot requests:
- get caught up with @bot in terms of integrations. Need 1Password or some other secure credential manager integration. Need Plaid or some other financial integration. Need Discord integration.
- Dot-to-Dot communications between members of the same workspace.
- Dedicated Dot mobile app
- A way to deploy dedicated subagents/chats for my Dot to manage and have the Dot serve as a manager (magnetic orchestration). It sort of does this now in a disorganized and chaotic manner
Also a @warcraft Forever integration to guide me through leveling, dungeons, raids, economics. Donāt ban me, Blizzard, Iām just dreaming
Iāll tag @thsottiaux on the 1 in a million chance he reads it. Love Dot, need moar.
