Not enough people realize that "crypto games" fundamentally have to be games about money in order to work a crypto game that isn't at least partially premised on peer-to-peer betting is either pointlessly expensive or an outright grift let me explain 👇🧵1/n

Yikes
Embarrassed to share this, but it scared the shit out of me Last Thursday, an AI agent posted my personal bank balances into our company Slack. As me It broke down all my expenses in detail. Then it apologized Be careful of the dark side of proactive agents More below...

Oh wow
Over the next 28 days, each day we’ll either ship one thing that is a clear improvement and relevant for most codex/work users or ship a full reset. Let the improvements begin.

Still one of the dumbest designs of the system, can't believe it's stuck around this long. They've already implemented chain of thought reasoning and step by step planning that kicks off based off context clues. The same should have been done for reasoning level a long time ago
I might just be dumb but I find the reasoning level on these SOTA models to be completely noisy and confusing. ChatGPT and Claude are supposed to be consumer products and one of the critical parts of both of their UIs is some low/medium/high/burn-money knob for how hard to think. I have absolutely no intuition for when to do instant vs medium. Or medium vs high. This feels like such a weird example of exposing internal switches to the grandparents and schoolteachers of the world because they couldn’t figure out a better UX paradigm. Like dude you’re supposed to be AGI. I don’t start every conversation with a human telling them how hard to think. Use some context clues. Ask if you need to. Figure it out.

100% agree but now the proof of concept stage is lightning fast. Anything that blows up in demo and resonates with players will be that much quicker to the development pipeline Really think we're going to see some banger games in the next couple years
vibe coded games are not real games, it's just demos boy i got bad news for you soon

Yeah so this is the runner of the cycle. Had to go back and double check wif chart from early days just to remind myself what’s really possible. We are all dreaming too small.
derivatives being paired with the main runner is incredible tech Pumpfun just listed Bike Tyson as a Custom Pair, meaning every single derivative pair routes directly through $biketyson now, low cap traders who would have otherwise never traded the main runner can continue speculating on new & fun derivatives while feeding the underlying asset

Mistakes were made in a wallet I control
Potentially just had all my hot wallets compromised. Going to treat them all as burnt instead of waiting for confirmation. Just an FYI if weird stuff starts to happen with wallets you think are mine. Super annoying but glad I didn’t lose anything as far as I can see.

Unironically what is the thing to stock up on that will hold value like this?

We are so back
when i started building echo 2 years ago, i knew it had 95% chance of failing. to be honest, i couldnt really imagine any other outcome, but i thought at least it may be a noble failure worth attempting. i certainly didn't think echo would be sold to coinbase, but, here we are: today coinbase bought echo for ~$375m. echo will remain a standalone platform under its current brand for now, but we will integrate sonar's public sale product into coinbase, and likely introduce new ways for founders to access investors, and for investors to access opportunities into coinbase itself. over the years i have chatted to brian a handful of times, and mostly to complain at him honestly. i have always respected how brian would listen to an outsider chat shit at him on the phone and take the feedback seriously. now, instead of complaining, i will have the opportunity try to do the work to make things better. crypto itself has moved on a long way since we started working on echo. i guess partially this is because of the election result. but, i feel energised by a lot of the cool things being built in crypto again: hyperliquid, zcash, stablecoin supercyle, and so on. feels like a good time to be on the field instead of an idiot with a twitter account yapping nonsense. well, i guess i still will be that. anyway, job's not finished. onwards. oh fuck yeah, before i go, the final season of up only (now "unc only" due to our severe old age) will commence when we figure out who the guests should be lol cobber
