People tweeting postulates about Jev as if they've worked with it for decades, three days after it was released, is proof of how ridiculous the AI industry is.

Nothing seems to accelerate ethical development in twenty-something AI “whistleblowers” quite like having enough vested equity to suddenly afford principles and a moral compass.

All human-written blogs grow until they become news sites. All news sites grow until they need topic filters. All filtered news sites grow until they need algorithmic ranking. All algorithmically ranked news sites grow until they need AI summaries. All AI-summarized news sites grow until they start writing the news themselves. All AI-written news sites grow until everyone gets a different front page. All personalized news sites grow until people just want to know what everyone else is reading. Then they go back to Drudge Report.

Dotcom rule #1: never give your data to a guy under 25 who raised millions to sit in an Aeron chair.

The problem with pre AI Google was that it trained us to believe the needle had to exist somewhere in the haystack, while AI changes the premise because what we seek no longer has to exist before we find it. Not good.

AI didn’t kill taste. It just amplified your lack of it and made it scalable.

The AI bro's optimization obsession starts to look less like a search for intelligence and more like a refusal to endure the basic friction of being alive.

Maybe the original sin was canonizing Reddit as the Internet's central, "authentic" discussion layer and then acting surprised when it became the easiest way to poison AI search. 404media.co/companies-are-us…

Google and Microsoft are committed to making their product names harder to understand than the products themselves.

As long as decentralized social requires a full-time job just to understand the protocol, proprietary platforms will keep winning. Complexity is not a feature when the goal is mass adoption, and AT/Bluesky still feels more like infrastructure discourse than an appealing consumer product.

The Ferrari Luce looks like someone designed the app first, then Jony Ive panic-wrapped a car around it.

The tech industry is the most self appraising seller of hope and still manages to believe its own pitch more than anyone else.
Claire Vo's first day with @OpenClaw it deleted her family calendar. Now she runs 9 agents across 3 Mac Minis, and said "I haven't felt like this since I was a teenager learning to code." Her sales agent Sam does a daily CRM sweep, identifies decision-makers from new signups, and sends personalized outreach—replacing a part-time salesperson she was paying 10 hours a week. Her home agent Finn pings her and her husband every day at 3pm: "Which of you is picking up which kids?" Then flags when the oldest's basketball conflicts with the middle kid's soccer and asks how they want to split duties. She also has agents for podcast prep, kids' homework help, and course project management. Claire (host of How I AI, founder of @ChatPRD) started as one of OpenClaw's most vocal skeptics. She now calls it "a ChatGPT moment." In our in-depth conversation, she breaks down: 🔸 Her exact setup: Mac Mini, separate Gmail, dedicated local account 🔸 The progressive trust model: first calendar access, then read email, then draft, then send — just like onboarding an EA 🔸 Why one agent is a mistake—and why she thinks about it like Slack channels, not a single assistant 🔸 How to use Claude Code as a "brain surgeon" to fix and manage your OpenClaw when things break 🔸 "The yappers API" — why rambling into a voice note is the highest-bandwidth way to set up your agent 🔸 Why management skills matter more than technical skills for making this actually work Listen now 👇 piped.video/DIa0MYJzM5I
