Sorry, but asking Jacob about AI extinction risk is like asking your AC guy about climate change. Not saying it's necessarily uninteresting or wrong per se but let’s keep things in perspective and hear from the full range of expertise across the ecosystem!

🚨 Reddit users say OpenAI may have cut Codex limits in half NerfTrack estimates the weekly ChatGPT Plus limit dropped from roughly $160 in API value to about $80 within a few days. Users on the $100 Pro 5x and $200 Pro 20x plans are also reporting their weekly quota now disappears in 1 to 3 days. reddit.com/r/codex/comments/…

42 years ago, William Gibson introduced the world to Neuromancer. Now, the next chapter is loading. #Neuromancer @ParamountTVS @anoncontent @DreamCrew_Ent

Humanity has prevailed (for now!) I'm completely exhausted. I figured, I had 10h of sleep in the last 3 days and I'm barely alive. I'll post more about the contest when I get some rest. (To be clear, those are provisional results, but my lead should be big enough)

Silicon Valley predicted all of this, 10yrs ago. “Are you kidding me? You gave your AI permission to overwrite code in the internal file system? Were you gonna tell me about this?”

Tried some SVG coding with: Llama 4 Scout Llama 4 Maverick Gemini 2.5 Pro DeepSeek V3 Prompt: "Draw a sun and a sunset scene using pure SVG. Include the sun, a sky gradient, and a simple horizon or landscape. The SVG must be embedded in a complete HTML document. Use only native SVG elements — no external libraries or images." Well then... let's wait for Llama 4 Behemoth👀 Link - dub.sh/mXbm13N

There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding", where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. It's possible because the LLMs (e.g. Cursor Composer w Sonnet) are getting too good. Also I just talk to Composer with SuperWhisper so I barely even touch the keyboard. I ask for the dumbest things like "decrease the padding on the sidebar by half" because I'm too lazy to find it. I "Accept All" always, I don't read the diffs anymore. When I get error messages I just copy paste them in with no comment, usually that fixes it. The code grows beyond my usual comprehension, I'd have to really read through it for a while. Sometimes the LLMs can't fix a bug so I just work around it or ask for random changes until it goes away. It's not too bad for throwaway weekend projects, but still quite amusing. I'm building a project or webapp, but it's not really coding - I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works.

I’m not going to be answering many questions here, about Apple TV’s adaptation of Neuromancer. I’ll have to be answering too many elsewhere, and doing my part on the production. So I thought I’d try to describe that, my part.
