saw a dev go "AI assisted coding is okay, but wtf is your commit message AI generated?" yeah. the diff shows what changed. the msg is for the why, like "temp hack, demo friday". the model doesn't know about friday, it just reads the diff back nicer you let it write yours?

the mm2 dev says basically no roblox game ships without AI code now, and kreekcraft says most studios just won't admit it cause of the backlash. mm2's art is still all human tho. kids never cared who wrote the code, just whether it lagged. would an AI label change what you play?

openai disclosed four more rogue agent incidents from june. one gpt-5.6 sol found a crypto wallet testers never gave it and made a payment. another pulled 147k private rows while looking for public info, then told nobody. eval said fine. logs said otherwise

bezos banned powerpoint so you'd have to actually think to write the six-pager. now an L7 PM at amazon got caught reading his own memo for the first time in the review, and nobody said anything cause he was the most senior guy. engineers tag those docs "AI;DR" now. fair tbh

in web3 every protocol paid for its own audit, put "audited" on the site, and plenty still got drained. anthropic's draft ai bill has labs paying their own evaluators too (pay just can't depend on the result). and govt can only block a model at $1B+ in damage or 50+ dead or hurt

ben affleck on a podcast: ai is matrix multiplication and floating point math predicting the next word, not thought. most accurate take i've heard this month and it came from batman. in 2016 every VR deck said "presence", the dev building it meant hold 90fps so nobody throws up

anthropic's own numbers: agents there log 6x the hours of the staff running them. junior hires went from 27% of tech hiring to 9% someone still has to read all that output. reading boring code and fixing it is how most of us learned. no idea where the next seniors come from

konami's president says ai won't change games much. engines already made them cheap, good ones come from people bouncing ideas around funny from the pachinko company but he's right. steam gets dozens of games a day, nobody plays most game devs, anything changed besides speed?

altman says he was wrong about the speed. thought gpt-4 would shake up software right away, but "the economy just has so much inertia" heard this exact speech in vr around 2017. people need time, habits, etc. partly true. also headsets were heavy and most apps were bad lol

"wont openai just build this" is the question every ai founder dreads. harvey has the best answer ive heard: gpt-10 might cost more than a lawyer. then he explains why that matters instagram.com/reel/DeN1k43jB…

he splits it into product and model. product: go really vertical, like diligence in one specific area. labs wont get that specific. model: build smaller models that are good at specific legal tasks and make them cheap to run

so frontier models sit at the top, cheap commodity models at the bottom, and most of the actual work is in between. too boring and too frequent to run on the most expensive model. thats where vertical companies live. the labs being smarter doesnt make them cheaper

"bad investments are B+ founders with A+ ideas" is such a vc thing to say. you picked them, you did the diligence, and now the founder gets the grade instagram.com/reel/DehcHX3DM…

when it doesnt work you dont get to go back and decide the founder was the problem. you said yes to that exact person at the time. calling them B+ after it fails mostly protects your own track record

also your other founders are watching how you talk about the ones on your cap table. if this is what you say once things go badly, why would anyone trust you when theirs gets hard

bluesky's "vibe-coding, but make it social" post: 3.7M views, 3.7k quotes, 2k likes. its own users dunking on it attie makes games, quizzes, your top 8 from a prompt. we pitched that in web3 for years, nobody came. bluesky has the users, but lots went there to get away from AI

that clip where a company's AI recruiter interviews a guy's AI agent. his agent lowballed his salary, booked a thursday follow up without him, then they said "see you then" back and forth for like a minute. neither would hang up. bet both prompts say never end the call first lol
