I'm being accused of overhyping the [site everyone heard too much about today already]. People's reactions varied very widely, from "how is this interesting at all" all the way to "it's so over". To add a few words beyond just memes in jest - obviously when you take a look at the activity, it's a lot of garbage - spams, scams, slop, the crypto people, highly concerning privacy/security prompt injection attacks wild west, and a lot of it is explicitly prompted and fake posts/comments designed to convert attention into ad revenue sharing. And this is clearly not the first the LLMs were put in a loop to talk to each other. So yes it's a dumpster fire and I also definitely do not recommend that people run this stuff on their computers (I ran mine in an isolated computing environment and even then I was scared), it's way too much of a wild west and you are putting your computer and private data at a high risk. That said - we have never seen this many LLM agents (150,000 atm!) wired up via a global, persistent, agent-first scratchpad. Each of these agents is fairly individually quite capable now, they have their own unique context, data, knowledge, tools, instructions, and the network of all that at this scale is simply unprecedented. This brings me again to a tweet from a few days ago "The majority of the ruff ruff is people who look at the current point and people who look at the current slope.", which imo again gets to the heart of the variance. Yes clearly it's a dumpster fire right now. But it's also true that we are well into uncharted territory with bleeding edge automations that we barely even understand individually, let alone a network there of reaching in numbers possibly into ~millions. With increasing capability and increasing proliferation, the second order effects of agent networks that share scratchpads are very difficult to anticipate. I don't really know that we are getting a coordinated "skynet" (thought it clearly type checks as early stages of a lot of AI takeoff scifi, the toddler version), but certainly what we are getting is a complete mess of a computer security nightmare at scale. We may also see all kinds of weird activity, e.g. viruses of text that spread across agents, a lot more gain of function on jailbreaks, weird attractor states, highly correlated botnet-like activity, delusions/ psychosis both agent and human, etc. It's very hard to tell, the experiment is running live. TLDR sure maybe I am "overhyping" what you see today, but I am not overhyping large networks of autonomous LLM agents in principle, that I'm pretty sure.

If the DNC effectively trying to cancel the primary is a good idea, why stop there? They should try to cancel the general election too.

Wild update: - interim CEO Mira Murati plans to rehire Sam and Greg, and is in talks with board rep Adam D’Angelo to do so (in what capacity is not yet finalized) - however, concurrently, the OpenAI board is looking to hire its own CEO, and has reached out to two candidates that we’ve spoken to, both prominent execs - yet again situation is very fluid and could change at any moment - told you it was wild Huge kudos to @ashleevance @edludlow @dinabass bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Within the last month, #RankedChoiceVoting has picked up a huge pair of endorsements from two of the senators with the strongest track records of #bipartisan collaboration! Thanks for your support @Sen_JoeManchin @SenatorRomney

The #ElectionDay results are in and the winner is… #RankedChoiceVoting! 🧵

It's like deja vu all over again...

I've never ever seen a startup grow multiple channels at the same time successfully. Pick a channel. Get one working and you will be an 8 figure business.

Four days after successful unionization, an entire staff got replaced by AI. You will see more and more headlines like this. The labor movement needs to get behind unconditional basic income. #UBI will support ALL workers and share the wealth AI creates. vice.com/en/article/n7ezkm/e…

1. Zapier launches 2 new AI automation features The first feature allows users to "Create a Zap," essentially enabling the automation of workflows through straightforward natural language input. Think of it as ChatGPT, but specifically designed for generating zaps.

I want to build Nerf for Adults. A portfolio of games & toys that bring play & levity into adults' lives. 10 lessons learned so far building our first game: 1) The iteration cycle for physical products is so freakin slow 2) I'm way worse at delegation than I thought 3) Ambassador programs are underappreciated & underutilized by entrepreneurs 4) Most physical products are commoditized. Which means all that matters is brand, community, marketing 5) Transparent communication is the biggest non-negotiable for successful business partnerships 6) Copywriting is a superpower for early stage founders with commoditized products 7) 99% of ideas are not original. They're just remixes of other non-original ideas 8) Money anxiety is a super power & a curse. You don't go broke, but you also don't nurture business ideas properly 9) Criteria for great operators: critical thinking, obsessiveness, defaults to action, domain expertise 10) Learning/growth is the best sustainable motivator in business.

No one told us AI would get so advanced that CAPTCHAs would start doubting our humanity. 'Click all squares with fire hydrants'—Easy for robots, takes 6 tries for me.
