🚀Models are commodities. The real edge is in the workspace you build around them -- the product loop, source of truth, operator cockpit, secure boundaries, and always-on builder environment.

More than ever it'll be important to get your business as lean as possible I think Moving from expensive PaaS platforms to your own VPS is usually 100x to 1000x cheaper: Vultr VPS is $2.50/month AWS Lightsail VPS is $3.50/mo DigitalOcean VPS starts at $4/month Linode VPS starts at $5/month Hetzner VPS starts at $7/month Yes that's an entire server you can host your sites on! Add free Tailscale + free Cloudflare Tunnel + close all firewall ports and you're safe too!

We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence. block.xyz/dessa

ok... uh so I'm making a game... it's like if GTA & Apple Maps v1 had a baby And that baby was a custom built engine that streams in OpenMapTiles (plus some other public domain mapping data) to render the entire earth as a playable open world game Engine is all C++ with Metal (and Vulcan) renderer - which means this thing runs on ALL Apple platforms... yes even that one (ok not the watch... yet) Right now it's just a sandbox world. No "game" - just layers and layers of systems. Earth scale procedural weather systems (rain, storms, clouds, wind, KpI, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc) which means you can see them coming from the distance and travel across the landscape in a timelapse. And every building has a procedurally generated interior. There's also tons of vehicles, skateboarding (with skateparks), snowboarding (with ski resorts & lifts) Also a photography mode with all sorts of fun goodies The whole thing is a bit mad. Work's been insane right now and I wind down before bed by going through all of the work Claude has done that day, playtesting, writing up new project plans, and then kicking off the next day's projects across my 3 Macs in my house wirring on this all day with Opus 5.5 (maybe save that explainer for another crazy person Twitter screed) Anyway, curious what you think. Now I can post my little updates here instead of blowing up all my group chats with the weird ideas I'm trying next.

6 days and $40,000 of compute with GPT-5.6 Sol to find a critical vulnerability in Chrome, claiming Google’s first full-chain reward in 2026 for a vulnerability that would affect an estimated 1 billion users. Highlights the opportunity for defenders to utilize these tools to secure their software to unprecedented levels:

I feel like @chamath was inches away from saying @8090_Factory should be giving their customers GPL software, and I can't wait to see the moment when he breaks through! I know I've been one of the world's biggest proponents of Open Source but I'm kinda coming around to calling it Free Software again, it's like how Super is better than Artificial for Intelligence. Maybe Freedom Software instead of Free Software... but Free is so clean.
