This Open Source project will make every document accessible. (I was wary of such bold claims until we hacked an unlock at the @github Accessibility Hackathon.)
Currently deployed to @calstate and @thisisUIC. Looking for more contributors!

Is it a good thing that AI is solving so many huge math problems? No. We may be missing the main thing, which is that the journey is the reward. And, btw, what is the purpose of math? John Urschel explains in an inspiring way. youtube.com/watch?v=W1uiG8rk…
Can we trust what we can't explain?
My AI reading list researches that question: Claude Shannon's 1956 "The Bandwagon," Dan Abramov's vibed proof, and @poteto on shipping 2,000 PRs with agents.

Yesterday, a blind mathematician told me he wanted to hug me after trying Equalify Iris. Since becoming blind, he couldn’t read his favorite math papers. Iris converted those old PDFs into accessible HTML and gave him that ability back.
Success should be measured in hugs.
Free Will is limited with a God fearing worldview.
The first mission of the Church is to help people be attentive to the profound questions of life: those concerning our origin and our destiny, as well as those concerning the meaning of love and suffering. The logic of profit at all costs and the manipulation of information risk exerting undue pressure on people to conform to a lifestyle centred on the consumption of material goods, but our hearts are made to look upwards. #GeneralAudience
Kurosawa, Spike Lee, and you too can stay in the French Quarter beauty.
Need lodging for NOAI? Stay in Francis Coppola’s French Quarter house.

Giving @SpacefastHQ a try. With a really hard prompt. Curious to see how it goes. Francis Ford Coppola needs a new website.

The Lovelace opinion piece by @WalterIsaacson is a manifesto for the New Orleans fest I run.
Beauty and bits collide!
Lovelace is now our biggest influence. NOAI bridges beauty and bits in New Orleans on 11/11!
Great article by @WalterIsaacson.

It started as Fun. Now I want a humanoid.

I'm actively reaching out to every dev w/TypeScript experience who's looking for work and has commented on or reposted the @poteto @mattpocockuk interview.
“How do I get my agents to answer their own question?” is the only work I expect my engineers to be doing now.
SpaceXAI engineer, Lauren Tan:
"I was a meat proxy between my agent and my browser. So I fired myself
Now 10+ Chiefs of Staff run my agents 24/7 and I just check the work in the morning"
In 1 hour, she shows exactly how she built that dark factory with GrokBot
Skills → Verification → Loops → GrokBot → Dark Factory
Most engineers still babysit one agent. She fired herself from that job
This talk is worth more than most $1,500 agentic engineering courses
Bookmark and watch it today
Then read how to hire your first team of Grok Bots in the article below ↓

If any Dev can break down what @poteto does here and show how they applied it to a production project with real users, I would probably hire them today.
here's how i shipped 2,500 PRs last month to production
this was originally supposed to be for Cursor Compile in London. i couldn't make it since i was livestreaming for Grok @Bot Galaxy so i'm making it available for free here on X! watch it on 2x speed, i talk slowly
I’m still looking to hire one more AI Engineer. Must be into work of @mattpocockuk @poteto @dhh @theo - comment with your GitHub.
You’ll be building AI Agent Factories / Michelin Kitchens for osf.it.uic.edu projects.
With this, I have solved PDF Accessibility: youtube.com/watch?v=7az9u1X1…
Every AI Engineer needs to read Atlas of AI by @katecrawford. I don't agree with most of the Leftist propaganda, but we must be aware of the social and ecological costs perceived by others before we each create AI Factories.

New site. Feeling cute. fest.philosophers.group/
Initially, I liked @dhh and @potetosentiments that Engineers should run a Michelin Kitchen or AI Factory instead of code. But these two videos spell Armageddon more than any AI Doom theory I've seen. 😨
