Yeah what I want is a configurable version of lockdown mode where I can have my agent sync my allowlist with my hardware.

Like give me the list of what I can turn on and off, and then let me choose my lockdown sphere.

That’s the future, and it’s coming.

I wrote a little bit about neuromancer and made some art in the visual style of Ed Hopper.

For what it's worth, people also felt this way about the printing press and the Internet (also books).

Information propagation mechanisms are often seen as malicious before they're commonplace. To be fair sometimes they are, but by and large humanity has benefitted from increasing the number of bits of information we can consume on a per second basis.

If you're looking for a privacy protecting version of OpenRouter, my friend Joseph Perla made trustedrouter.com.

It's a pretty slick system and if you're building on openrouter today and are worried about stripe integration messing up the product, this is a good option to consider.

Separately, congrats to the OpenRouter team. They are selling at the right time in what is undoubtably going to become a contentious market.

Trustedrouter.com is a privacy protecting version of openrouter built by some pretty serious engineers.

Might be worth a look for anyone who needs this sort of thing.

Bets on Jeff and Sanjay joining anthropic?

My guess is 18-24 months.

This is sick, in the 90's Tony Hawk sense of the word.

I love that people can just bang stuff into existence now.

There were times in my life where I would wait for an engineering team to change the color of a button for a day to a week.

We are not in the slow times anymore.

The thing is... under the laws as they're written today, if US Gov wants to take a peek at your stuff on FB and friends servers, FB can be barred from informing you that such a request has come in under the National Security Letter (NSL) guidelines.

It's a very complicated thing :/.

Why is it important that a dev can’t do fizzbuzz without ai?

If they can ship code that matches a spec, why does it matter if they’re using ai or not?

Genuinely curious.

Howdy,

I made a repo to automate building software with Garry Tan's gstack repo.

Basically you install conductor.build, authenticate to claude, install gstack, and then you can use the web interface to write a strong product requirements prompt and it will build 3 versions of the product fully autonomously, check them for bugs, rate them for functionality, and present them to you.

It does all of the steps of Garry's gstack including QA and uses the retro to score it.

I tried to design it to ship good software. I would not use this for production without reviewing the code it produces extensively.
