well put @levelsio… pretty much sums up my state of mind these days 🫠
but then again.. if everyone starts creating content and lets AI polish every little thought… aren’t we just going to end up with a whole new level of AI slop? 🥴
Yes… I would expect nothing less from Christopher Nolan 😬
real conversation from today morning..
mom: what are you doing nowadays? (while watching the news)
me: waiting for doomsday
mom: that’s why i told you to keep the job and not start all this entrepreneurship shit at this age..

Hey @Railway, is there a reason employee's of yours are trying to breach my infrastructure?
Your employee Jake Runzer, just attempted to tonight.
we've reached the point where AI can rewrite another AI's neural network weights and make it smarter... without training
now imagine this happening recursively... at scale... with humans barely keeping up
we're getting dangerously close to the part of sci-fi we were supposed to avoid
agree with the optimism here… but i think there's another angle to it
for most of tech's history, opportunity came from learning how to build things that others couldn't
now.. almost anyone can build something… which means the real challenge is figuring out what's worth building.. why someone would use it, and whether you can actually make it useful
that's a pretty exciting change in itself… and i think we're only beginning to understand its implications :)
Tech is insanely interesting because it's one of the only careers in the world where anyone from anywhere can catapult to the highest ranks of success and income purely based on what they can do and regardless of their background or education.
It's evolved so many times, each with its own windows of opportunity. Today is more interesting than ever, the first time in the history of software that the technical barriers to accomplishing "technical things" have been seemingly removed, leveling the field for anyone curious or determined enough to take advantage of this exact moment in time. People with technical expertise of course still have the leg up if they can encompass the excitement, curiosity, humility to see and understand the state of the world as it actually exists and act on it.
Every evolution there exists the doomer and the optimist on each side, making their argument about the current "thing" or state of the world, it's always so interesting to watch. The best piece of advice is the same thing echoed by all of the successful people I know: be the optimist not the doomer.

one reason nvidia has been so hard to compete with is the amount of software work needed to get models running well on other hardware..
if agents can now do a good chunk of that work in 36 hours... that's a pretty big deal
still a long way from proving it works at scale.. but I'm curious how much of their advantage will hold up as agents get better at this

Konvene started as something else entirely..
last week it was a webcam app that checks in on how you're feeling... it got too depressing to build.. so I dropped it
then it became a multiplayer party game you play with your face.. expression controls were too fiddly and voice controls too loud.. dropped that too
what survived was the face tech.. so now it's a video call app where blur, lighting, touch-up, captions and noise reduction all run on your own device
calls go browser to browser, encrypted, nothing stored
three names later.... it's live, free and open source :)

server-side verification is what actually matters here.... i just found it hilarious that the first thing my agent did after implementing bot detection was proudly tell me it could submit the form... 😂
