Is my profile pic showing as a ghost 👻 for everyone else as well, or did the NFT pic loading just break for me? It shows up when I click on it...

Building another AI app that works on Github data. What other datasets are there that can be queried freely (or with user permission) like that? 🤔

Completed Nvidia's course on Building RAG Agents with LLMs. Very practical and encompassing most aspects one would need for real-world agents But also gave ideas on how many agents may get exploited, and for security mitigations I'd like to see

Used Cursor with Claude to vibe code a web app for inverted viewing of photo negatives, with video and photo recording. Came up with the idea this evening and now it's shipped! Try it out at negviewer.com! Runs locally in the browser

Finally got around to playing Disco Elysium while getting over a cold. It's a slow story-driven adventure game with literary qualities Realized this type of game would be much easier to create in the age of LLMs Also realized that I probably would not want to play such a game if it had been released after ChatGPT

Been writing cloud policies in rego recently (an Open Policy Agent language) It's like coding smart contracts for some immature overly-clever L2 chain The chains that leverage pre-existing languages and tooling made the right choice

What's the long-term thinking around growing decentralized social while dealing with speech/moderation laws that make it difficult to host hubs in much of the world? Is it OK to operate only in the US with DMCA section 230 protections? Can content be e2e encrypted so hubs lose ability to moderate? Any writing on this?

After using Claude I can definitely see how AI could be productive enough to replace teams with single developers However, the biggest hurdle to this seems to be management and Agile™️ processes that are all about taking on projects with teams Any of the dev-replacement startups solving the management-layer problem?
