Sense of vertigo watching/reliving this, real artefact of the insanity of the past year
Best part imo is the predictions, adding a few of my own for future:
- Large numbers (i.e. >1000s) of wild persistent agents discovered
- LLMs-as-controllers becomes consensus, robots become a much larger part of next years soai
- This year we _will_ hit the 1b 1person co
- Labs agree to pause work on math
- Vibe-hardware explodes (馃 figuratively)

This is cool - I found the same thing and then tried to actually build it last month!
It def works way better in sim, and took quite some back and forth, but overall impressed
Vibe hardware is def here

@openrouter has one of the clearest visualisations of value-add i've seen
Funny artefact - it pretends to generate transparent backgrounds but if you look at the squares it just generated them and they are off in places!
Replying to @levelsio @OfficialLoganK
first images produced by ai where i spent some real time just looking at them seeing all the stuff it added
asked for some of my favourite paintings but 2200 - look at the little drones it added!

Nano-banana is really cool, very wide breadth of styles and adds just great little details. Famous paintings but 2200 test thread
The Great Wave off Kanagawa

@Fern_Labs! We don't have Hetzner yet but can add it in like a day (I prefer @morph_labs VPSs but each to their own)
Tell us what you'd want and we'll add it
You can also track your agents working on each box
lifetime free* for @levelsio if you give us feedback!
