k-shaped adoption curve for consumer AI
Nobody actually needs a personal AI assistant. The average screen time in the US is 7 hours/day. people have plenty of time. There's no evidence that freeing up more will lead to anything but more tiktok scrolling If anything daily life needs more offline friction

My daughter has been asking to go to McDonalds (never been). I explained to her that we would need to go to Japan because all the McDonalds near us is nearly inedible. She burst into tears. Turns out the details of fast food supply chains are lost on 5 year olds.

I've spent hours setting up open source agents and Instinct's harness is 100x better than anything I could have built myself.

can’t wait to put together the family dog with my kids
A robot dog you’re actually supposed to take apart. China’s MirrorMe built Black Panther X as a modular, open quadruped platform rather than another closed robot dog. 200+ components, 12 joints, open interfaces + code, 4 m/s speed, 33 Nm joint torque, and support for third-party sensors and payloads. You can assemble it, modify it, program it, and build on top of it.

Genuinely excited about this, it’s about time we get an upgrade to Alexa. Screen-free makes sense for households who want to reduce screen time for kids!

If you believe that AI brings mass unemployment, then you presume that tomorrow’s jobs look a lot like today’s jobs… while the arc of progress has demonstrated that humans and jobs will always reconfigure along the frontier.

It’s no coincidence that the highest agency people are also the happiest.
Founders are the happiest people in tech

I’d pay money for an agent to summarize my social feeds so that I never need to scroll again, but still stay in the loop.

a puzzle that remains a mystery for 35+ years... will you be the one to solve it? paradigm.xyz/kryptos/k4
We have the solution to Kryptos, one of the last great cryptography puzzles. But it’s a secret, even to us.
