We knocked this one out of the park!
Zero downtime on our live trial is a major success. Agent Veritus proved to be incredibly useful pinpointing the fiber connections that needed attention and streamlined our response time with granular real time data flows.

What an insane assumption anyone has ideas of mass value 😳
If AI can build an entire startup in a weekend… What's stopping everyone from becoming a founder?

Companies replacing junior roles with AI and then wondering why they can't find senior talent in five years is going to be the most predictable crisis in hiring history.

AI coding is already far beyond the capabilities of most human coders. Change my mind.

If you are not architecting more time into your life you have lost the plot.
Haven’t met anybody working less after adopting AI

Or you can learn by observing instead of blindly shipping 🚢 🙄
“People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter.” We are turning an entire generation of technical experts around the world into the equivalent of retirees pushing a button in front of casino slot machines. Essentially the brain rot of doom scrolling social media is coming for your development team… This will have lots of long run implications on companies. Most important of which, is that it will make existing moats even more brittle. The value of automated software is not making the software faster. It is understanding your intention and making the software BETTER. Better edge. Better design. Better alpha. But if you don’t slow down and map out your intention, you will just make your shitty code faster. We built 8090’s Software Factory to do this: when execution is a costless commodity, what really matters? Over time, companies will realize that it’s: 1. Intention 2. Governance 3. Verification 4. Evidence This is what will separate orgs consuming tokens and companies encoding their edge. This generally requires top down leadership from the CEO to the CFO/CIO. Bottoms up tool adoption only increases costs and accelerates slot machine behaviors. Good luck to all the players.

Genuine question for artists: If AI can only produce soulless, low-quality “slop,” why are you so terrified of it? Why demand boycotts, bans and public shaming if the work supposedly poses no competition to real artists? You can’t claim AI art is worthless while treating it like an existential threat.

Is building cypherpunk software that works for the benefit of the user only a luxury reserved for those who are financially independent? Everyone keeps saying how important such software is but the market shows that there is a big gap between what users say they care about and what they would actually end up paying for.

Everyone does not have access to a computer that can operate a modern tech stack, so their abilities are limited in some aspects. That same privilege persists across all facets requiring injection of capital.
I don't understand one thing If everyone has access to the same AI tools, what becomes your real advantage?

"AI writes terrible code." Does it work? Yes. Do the tests pass? Yes. Can another AI understand and modify it? Yes. Then I have terrible news about how much your definition of terrible code matter. Humans aren't reading this stuff for much longer, many already stopped.

Average people are mostly not using or interested in AI.
If you’re in the tech AI bubble, I strongly recommend you go and talk to average people and see how they use and perceive AI. Most people don’t know what a CLI is, let alone think that CLI is the future interface of all applications. They’re not automating the heck out of their everyday tasks. They’re using the same apps they used three years ago. To them, AI is mostly advanced search plus a good consultant for health and shopping. There’s a huge gap between the AI power users and average people. And bridging that gap presents a huge business opportunity.

Regardless of being scammed previously these are all solid 👌
The people I know who've never been scammed in crypto all pretty much have these habits: 1. They use a separate laptop or phone to interact with crypto sites 2. They don't keep all their tokens in one wallet (or on multiple wallets with the same seedphrase) 3. They have stronger security for their most valuable wallets than their day to day trading wallets Often, that's using hardware wallets or it's multisig/MPC wallets 4. They bookmark their favorite crypto sites instead of relying on Google to find them 5. They never trust an email or DM. They go directly to the source when they need to do something, not externally presented links 6. They revoke their approvals on EVM chains using tools like Revoke Cash or Etherscan 6. They do their own research on protocols and don't blindly deposit funds into untested protocols 7. They double check the addresses they send to, and don't copy/paste wallet addresses from Blockscanners FINALLY, 8. they take their time when transacting and do it when they're at their best. They don't rush, or transact while drinking, or under the influence of drugs or when they're tired. Staying safe in crypto doesn't have to be complicated. You just have to be consistent and do what works.

TradFi 🤡 have been saying this for years. Meanwhile blockchain has upgraded financial rails and tracking logistics globally proving how outdated many enterprise systems still are.
building software is practically free now and we still haven’t found a single use case for blockchains.

Primarily gambling
Crypto is so millennial coded. I always meet these tech dudes in their late 20s / early 30s who still try talking to me about Crypto like the last WW2 solider on the Japanese island. Sorry but the NFT swindlers and rug pullers forever ruined Satoshi's vision. If we want to move to a non-fiat currency in our lifetimes it is going to have to be rebuilt from scratch. The normies solely associate crypto with gambling and scams

People using Robinhood failed at comprehending percentages.
Downloaded Robinhood wallet to see if this washed unc can figure out the trenches. Impressively easy to add funds, bridge, buy.

Its been this way for 2+ years
in the past anyone who could program well had the potential to elevate themselves in the global job market regardless of class, location, and even resources to some extent people joke about the "permanent underclass", it never really resonated with me but in reality it really is starting to become more about $$ and how much you can afford vs your skill as an engineer or programmer how can you grow your skills as an (AI) engineer if you are unable to afford these tools, and does it snowball in both directions? I feel like one of the things I want to work on are systems and programs to make this more fair and accessible

I asked Astra to make a photorealistic bat in Blender, and it just kept going until I ran out of tokens. This is AGI.
Just asked Sol to download Blender, set up the MCP, and make me a realistic bat, and then make a video showcasing how it made it. We've hit a new era with Sol/Fable.

This is not the Clarity Act we deserve
The Clarity Act is anti-DeFi... do not be fooled by their hype. This legislation benefits the few people in this video and leaves new players sitting outside their walled garden they built with banksters.
