Yeah, this was one that reached a level of maturity where I quickly lost interest. I like to build. I don’t like to market.

All of the domains are public. Whenever a new model comes out I like to ask a very specific prompt that helps me identify niche markets with high buyer urgency, have the AI rank them across a rubric, pick the one that has the highest degree of automation potential and then have it build me an MVP.

I’m not trying to shamelessly promote here but since you asked one of them is at jobwiz.biz

Claude has been buying domains and deploying to Vercel for me using aws cli, vercel cli, and gh cli since December. Personally I prefer a cli to an MCP server for this type of thing.

OpenClaw, NanoClaw, et al all use AgentSDK which will from now on be forbidden.

They are literally alienating a large percentage of OpenClaw, NanoClaw, PicoClaw, customers because those customers will surely not be willing to pay API pricing, which is at least 6-10x Max Plan pricing (for my usage).

This isn’t too surprising to me since they probably have a direct competitor to openclaw et al in the works right now, but until then I am cancelling my subscription and porting my nanoclaw fork with mem0 integration to work with OpenAI instead.

Thats not a “That’ll teach ‘em” statement, it is just my own cost optimization. I am quite fond of Anthropic’s coding models and might still subscribe again at the $20 level, but they just priced me out for personal assistant, research, and 90% of my token use case.

Fascinating Guardian profile of Song-Chun Zhu, a leading AI scientist who left UCLA for China after nearly three decades in the US. He argues that today’s AI, dominated by large neural nets and benchmark-driven research, has drifted away from the deeper pursuit of intelligence — reasoning, causality, social and physical understanding. Zhu says China offered him resources and freedom to chase these harder, less fashionable questions, while US academia felt increasingly constrained by political pressure, funding structures, and a preference for “safe” incremental work.

Raises two questions: Are we losing diversity of scientific thought by letting scale-driven AI monopolize the field? And what does it mean for global research leadership if the next big paradigm shift in AI comes from outside the US?

I don’t see gorillas.bas — that was my favorite. I actually found my appreciation for writing code modifying lines of code in that game to make bigger explosions.

I just finished listening to it on audible. It is certainly thought provoking, but full of contradictions as others have mentioned. Namely that this technology cannot be contained, and yet that it must be contained is pretty doom and gloom. The prognostications about artificial intelligence are hardly as scary as the ones made around genetic sequencing — that you can buy a device for 30k that will print pathogens and viruses for you out of your garage. That’s some scary stuff.

how long before this is ported to IOS and becomes the #1 grossing game? I'm thinking ketchapp is already on it.

A few of them in series could increase the voltage.

It's a beautiful thing if it can bring humanity together towards a common aim.

But if it leads to the collapse of monetary systems, the collapse of civil society, looting, rioting, the rise of nationalism, and WWIII that's most certainly going to lead more death and destruction than the virus itself.

The best part is, that unlike medical or law you can also do it from virtually anywhere.

I have been doing some semblance of programming since I was 8 years old (now 39). I think it’s one of those things you kind of have to have a passion for or you can easily get burned out.

But I also think it’s one of those things that are more in demand than ever. If I was laid off I’d have to question why I was working for the company in the first place and didn’t see it coming. There are quite literally 7-8 LinkedIn messages from recruiters almost daily. I’m not sure many attorneys or physicians can say that. And when you are in demand like that you’re constantly leveling up your salary every few years.

Finally, I know or very few professions where every 3-5 years you need to completely have learned something new to stay ahead of the game. When I was 8 I was doing q-basic. I’ve had to learn over 12 languages since then.

As someone who has lived out of AirBnB for almost 3 years traveling all around the world and never once being scammed, I find the title of this article to be a bit alarmist.

AirBnB has host and guest verification options. If Becky and Andrew don't have their identities verified via drivers license but manage over 90 properties that is your first red flag right there.

Second, if the host can't accommodate you you reach out to AirBnb and put the onus on them to find you an acceptable property that meets your standards. You don't let the host offer up some random place that happens to be available, that's suspicious.

I've had a number of hosts cancel on me at the last minute recently, I didn't immediately jump to the conclusion that it must be a scam. I simply assumed that their property is also listed on VRBO and other sites and someone either beat me to the punch or they got more money, or they didn't realize that they can't list the unit and forgot to take down the listing.

Mistakes happen. Sure, there are scammers out there on every platform, but in my 3 years and over 100 successful stays, I really find this article's title tough to swallow.
