Follow my new X profile @ebloch.
I've decided to start fresh as this one has gotten weighed down by bots and spam.
See you there!
Hey friends and followers. I’ve moved to a shiny new X profile.
Come follow me over at @ebloch.

This is just insane.
Ray Kurzweil first predicted that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) would be achieved by 2029 in his 1999 book, The Age of Spiritual Machines.
Seems more and more likely every year Ray is going to stick his prediction from 30 years ago!
It’s not just software the future of BUSINESS is API-first.
In a world of openclaw, codex, claude code/cowork, manus, and other agentic systems, it’s becoming clear that the future of software has to be API-first, but also enable human interaction for verification, collaboration with agents and people, and working on the output.
It’s generally been the case that software was built for people first and foremost, and then APIs are exposed for other systems to connect into that tool or data. But if we imagine a world where AI agents are doing 10X or 100X more work with software than people, then this paradigm is flipped.
Software becomes API-first, with ways of having humans be able to work effectively with the agent, either through a UI as relevant, or chat. If you’re not API-first, then you’re nearly DOA to agents.
Last Saturday I spent an all-nighter building @RoboBuffett. The ideas were flowing and the code was ripping.
It's an AI designed to be a investor following in the footsteps of Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, Phillip Fisher and of course Ben Graham.
I am now on the 4th version of it's skill design. More on that soon.
Couple of things I've learned in terms of process:
- Always have @OpenClaw check it's work, better yet bake it into memory.
- When building complex skills I prefer to use Claude Code vs. having OpenClaw build the skill itself. I think the main benefit is using Claude's /plan which leads to the outcome I want faster.
- @OpenClaw will create a mess it's in directory. You should have it clean up it's room regularly, otherwise a messy room leads to it tripping over things when trying to do different tasks.
Couple of takeaways so far:
- Frontier model's ability to synthesize and connect dots is insane - read RoboBuffett's X stream to understand what I mean or any of it's letters robobuffett.ai/letters/index…
- I'm wouldn't trust it with real money yet but
- I'm close to getting it to produce world class research for close to $0 - an entire investment run when using credits costs about ~$1.00 😮
Meta was 10 years too early with M.
In 2015, Meta launched M inside Messenger.
It wasn’t a chatbot. It was an attempt at a personal AI agent. M could book travel, make reservations, buy products — complete tasks end-to-end.
But here’s the reality: the technology wasn't ready.
So M depended heavily on human operators behind the curtain. The vision was right. The stack wasn’t ready.
What Meta learned:
- People don’t just want answers.
- They want outcomes.
Now the stack exists:
- Transformers.
- Tool use.
- Long-horizon reasoning.
- Falling inference costs.
- Permissionless agents — as proven by @OpenClaw.
The infrastructure has arrived.
Now is the time to build the best and easiest to use assistant in the world.
This program doesn’t get enough coverage unfortunately.
I think this is one of the best ways to make sure everyone benefits from America’s economic system regardless of what community you live in or who your parents are.

The post's image shows a fictional interface. Trump Accounts must be established by parents via IRS Form 4547 at trumpaccounts.gov. Only children born 2025-2028 receive a $1,000 Treasury seed, invested in S&P 500 index funds—not individual stocks like Nvidia.

NVIDIA just dropped PersonaPlex-7B 🤯
A full-duplex voice model that listens and talks at the same time.
No pauses. No turn-taking. Real conversation.
100% open source. Free.
Voice AI just leveled up.
