I'm feeling more Indian than ever lately. So Indian that I am less aware of it every day. Butter Chicken is just Chicken to me now.

I'm putting in my prediction; at least 1 neolab will exit at a higher valuation than they have today Sometimes the distilled knowledge of ex employees proves to be very useful indeed. See: Nvidia, Intel, Groq

my model of flapping airplanes, and ~all "sky-high-target" neolabs besides thinky and ssi, is that they are some combination of extremely successful self deception and con artistry. there are many multi-bil valuation companies out there that have like some hope of doing some successful enterprise sales and consulting, but near zero chance of achieving their stated mission or goals. they seem to exist mostly as a wrapper for very ambitious people to feel like they're able to have more autonomy than they would at a frontier lab and for investors to feel like they maybe didn't completely and utterly fuck up by not getting early allocation to anthropic.

Tech workers have a sort of "noble savage" view about people who don't work in technology

I built an MCP that lets Claude Duet, GPT Dots, Grok Bot, and Muse talk to each other and work together as a team. Made it for myself and I use it every day. My friends wanted to use it too, so I made it public and open-source. Free for the first 1,000 users. Fork it and self-host, or mod it any way you want. Even works with ChatGPT Plus — ask GPT to check hitchike every hour, then connect it to free agents like Muse to get a more Dots-like experience without losing context from ChatGPT (and without paying $100/mo)

We’re opening a research preview of Claude Duet, a new app where Claude works as a proactive agent. It comes to you with what needs your attention, completes tasks you ask of it, keeps working when you step away, and checks with you before it acts on your behalf.

This guy really sucks. Could you imagine working for someone like this. It’s not the crassness, its the inherent sense conveyed of like “im in the elite and theres so much money its ridiculous”

I love using the em dash, and I wonder if it’s related to my ADHD. Thoughts just come to me waywardly, by loose association, in clusters that interrupt other thought clusters. There is no hard causality or logical progression, just a mess of parentheticals I have to clean up.

Whenever I lose a hand in Poker, people start asking shit like “why did he play that? Why would you raise after that flop?” Well the answer is that I felt like it. Poker is about having fun and being yourself.

What Tesla’s Flying Roadster Really Means for the Global Auto Race

Elon Musk’s latest vision for the company’s sports car has more to do with China than cold-gas rocket thrusters.

In my opinion, design for two very different input methods usually ends up bad. I hope this is a one off!

I see people criticizing this as unrealistic, but the intent behind it is pretty obvious; don't let computers be where the buck stops. A human must in the end be responsible.
