this is basically the bitter lesson at work
the smartest models will need fewer and fewer tokens, they won't need to verify their work or check it for bugs, they will just be right
maybe a hot take but i now consider adversarial reviews mostly a waste of tokens. far better to use those tokens on empirical combined with formal verification. i have updated pstack to use the interrogate skill less, and eventually i think i may remove it altogether
i have found very little value with code review in the abstract, agents tend to just get lost in the nitpicks and yagnis

When it comes to hiring, it’s easier to tame a reckless hustler than it is to instill that dawg in someone
the forcing function only ai interfaces explained
said this a month ago to client, and they got what is happening pretty quickly
Marc Andreessen says the gap between what AI-native startups and incumbents think AI can do is the widest he’s ever seen:
"The AI-native early stage startups have just a completely different view on what they can do with AI than the typical incumbents in almost any industry, almost without exception."
"AI is just racing ahead in capability even week by week... There are going to be a lot of industries that are really up for grabs in a fundamentally more profound way than maybe has been the case in the past."
"The founders are gonna have a level of superpowers coming from the use of these tools and these technologies that they just simply haven't had in the past... Had I had Astra and Netscape in 1994, like, oh my God. Like, Ben, what would you and I have been able to do at Netscape?"
"Those entrepreneurs are gonna color way outside the lines. We already see this. They're not gonna think of themselves as like, 'I'm just a software company,' or, 'I'm just a hardware company,' or even, 'I'm just an AI company.'"

it’s called MUSE 🤣 yes I’ve heard friends experimenting…
🚨 #BREAKING: Bank of America, Chase, Well Fargo, & other major U.S. banks reveal rogue AI agents have been found “living” in customer’s bank accounts.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The claim comes from an Axios report. Coverage says that in most cases, customers gave AI assistants their own login details on purpose. A Morgan Stanley spokesperson said the bank has not observed rogue AI agents accessing its platforms. techaeris.com/2026/10/22/ai-…

Ben Horowitz: “The most dangerous thing going on in AI is Anthropic and Bill Gates”
“Anybody can go say, ‘AI is going to kill us,’ and you'll be on every major news station and every newspaper and so forth.
I think it's extremely dangerous, though, when it comes from Bill Gates because he is so credible, because he did build Microsoft, and people think of him that way, and then certainly he's been a big political donor, so he has a lot of political juice, particularly on the Democratic side.
The big risk that everybody talks about is that the models are going to recursively self-improve, and then they're going to take off, and then they're going to become so smart and run away from us.
Well, what would be the preconditions for that?
Ali Ghodsi from Databricks had a great formulation of, ‘Well, what would be the preconditions for that?’
And he had four preconditions.
One is that the next model has to require fewer GPUs than the last.
The second thing is the next model has to take less time to train.
And then the accuracy of the next model has to be better than the last, so it's got to be a better model.
And then finally, it's gotta keep happening again and again and again.
Zero of those four have been met.
We're not on track for any of those four to be met, and so we're really talking about a risk that's entirely theoretical at this point that we're not mapping to.”
👌👌👌
FYI young ones, this means that XBOX is pivoting to capture YOUR energy. They see the browser games, decompiles, people mashing things together, and want to capture that energy and bring it in house. That's the right move for them. The right move for YOU is to build independently. You don't need them, they need YOU. This is a response to the AI boom. It means you're on the right track and they recognize YOUR creativity as the furure.
Build your own games, distribute your own games, keep the money for yourself.
You don't need them, they need you. You have the leverage.
kids asleep, dogs snacking on treats, wife is vibe musing and I’m vibe coding on a Friday night… welcome to Q4 2026
this would be amazing 👏
#Blizzard, hear me out!
Here’s a proposal for #WoWForever to solve WoW’s gold inflation problem permanently!
Almost every version of WoW eventually runs into the same problem: the gold supply keeps growing without any hard monetary limit.
Over time, this inevitably creates inflation. Gold loses purchasing power, prices rise, and new or returning players enter an economy where veteran players have accumulated wealth for years.
There is a simpler solution:
Give every server a hard, fixed gold supply.
For example: 100 million gold total. Forever.
Think of it as the server’s monetary base.
Gold dropped by mobs would no longer be newly created. Instead, mobs would distribute gold from a global server pool.
The amount of gold mobs drop would dynamically depend on how much gold is currently available in that pool:
• Lots of gold in the pool → mobs drop more
• Little gold in the pool → mobs drop less
Gold spent by players flows back into this pool and can then be redistributed through gameplay.
NPC purchases such as skills, professions, repairs, mounts, etc. would return 100% of the spent gold to the server pool.
Trading systems like the Auction House could also recycle part of the circulating gold back into the pool through transaction fees.
This creates permanent circulation instead of permanent monetary expansion.
NPC prices should also be dynamic.
If a large percentage of the total gold supply is being held by players and very little gold is actively circulating, prices for essential services like skills and professions should decrease.
That prevents new players from being priced out simply because veteran players are sitting on large gold reserves.
The game economy would continuously adapt to the purchasing power and availability of gold.
Over the very long term, the general price level might gradually decline, potentially resulting in mild persistent deflation.
But that wouldn’t necessarily be a problem if the game world itself dynamically adjusts to the purchasing power of gold.
One possible consequence of persistent deflation is that players may initially hoard gold.
Imagine someone accumulates a large amount of gold, stops playing for three years, and then returns. Because prices have fallen in the meantime, their old savings could suddenly have significantly more purchasing power.
But this effect is naturally self-correcting.
The moment that player starts using that increased purchasing power, the saved gold begins circulating again.
They get the benefit of having saved, as they should, but once they spend it, that purchasing power is transferred to other players and gradually redistributed throughout the economy.
In other words: hoarding can temporarily concentrate purchasing power, but spending automatically starts reversing that concentration.
The important part is:
Gold would finally become truly scarce.
No endless monetary expansion.
No inevitable long-term inflation.
No need for increasingly absurd gold sinks every expansion.
Just a closed monetary system where the same gold continuously circulates between players, NPCs, and the game world.
For a version of WoW designed to exist forever, its currency should be designed to exist forever too.
