I love seeing all these ai-assisted fan games and services come up. But please don’t forget to share the source eventually so your projects don’t vanish into the ether one day. It’s my biggest complaint with online only solutions.

Thanks @ATT for losing my entire preorder cart making me start over from scratch. That was a joy. Didn’t need the sleep anyway.

Pro-se parties: IF you use AI for help, make sure to provide facts and allegations in a neutral manner. If one party is accusing, state it. If something is a fact (uncontested), say so. That will help you get the cleanest picture from AI, and show your weaknesses. (IANYL)

For those looking for legal advice on anything: STOP TAKING GOOGLE’S SEARCH AI VERBATIM. Seriously, it does way more harm than good. If I had a penny for every client who sends me screenshots of their discussions with AI as to why they’re right… 🛥️

I've been out of the game for a few weeks catching up on life after we had our first child. That said: @NousResearch Hermes Desktop won't stop feeling like magic. With Bots getting more polished, I had the delightful experience of saying "send X to Y", and they just figured it out - across different gateways, on completely different devices. THAT was beautiful. And with very little additional effort on my part, the two bots communicated with each other, improved the original design of the first agent's project, and set up repository management to handle it all. If you work with multiple agents across multiple devices, you owe it to yourself to just try. Just two years ago, I would have told you this was near impossible. And today? It's open source magic.

So: Omarchy. It’s a super cool project, but it also reminds me why I decided to jump into MacOS primarily back in 2020 - I get a pleasant and stable environment that doesn’t require much fiddling. I’m rooting for Omarchy! But until I get more spare time, I’ll be an OS tourist.

🚨 URGENT WARNING TO ANYONE USING OR CONSIDERING iHermes 🚨 TWO separate users who provided iHermes ZERO personal context were shown personal information tied to other people, including CHILDREN’S NAMES. @katr_ieme tested iHermes with ordinary questions. iHermes stated that it had information from “a few different people in my history” and then began surfacing information tied to those profiles. That included: * names * CHILDREN’S NAMES * Cities and Zip Codes * Jobs and workplaces * Financial and personal details * Family information **CHILDREN’S NAMES. For crying out loud.** PERSONAL IDENTIFIERS IN THE SCREENSHOTS HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE WHOSE INFORMATION WAS EXPOSED. Then @Raitox_tech tested the service separately and was shown information tied to another profile, including a company association and an executive role. Two completely different users. Neither provided the personal information that iHermes surfaced. This is not a minor bug. This is an extremely serious privacy and security concern involving personal information that should never be crossing between users. It raises questions around: * cross-user data leakage * failed user isolation * contaminated or shared memory * access controls * how private information is being stored and retrieved * whether the security and isolation claims being made publicly match what the product is actually doing And this is happening after repeated questions around models, providers, data handling, privacy, and portability. @dankrieg himself has repeatedly avoided naming the actual models being used and has not provided public technical documentation substantiating the security and user-isolation claims being made. @Raitox_tech asked iHermes twice which model it was using. Both times it avoided answering. The second response literally said it was “not a model number you’d look up” and redirected the conversation. Against what these tests have now surfaced, that lack of transparency is even more concerning. Dan has publicly stated that iHermes has security, user isolation, and data-access controls in place. These screenshots directly call those assurances into question. And PROVES that to be a Lie. Separately, my own test messages to iHermes have now gone more than 10 hours with zero response. At this point, my recommendation is simple: **STAY AWAY FROM iHERMES.** Do not connect sensitive accounts. Do not provide personal information. If two users with zero context can surface information tied to other people, including children, then every person considering this service needs to understand the risk. Please share this warning 🔄⚠️ The next piece of personal information exposed could belong to you, your family, your friends, or THEIR CHILDREN. Nobody using AI should accept “trust us” when the product is handling this level of personal information

Why not? Redundancy at the least doesn’t hurt. I claimed the "lloyd094" handle on @ThePirateFace 🏴‍☠️ Where Hugging Face AI models never die, and are immortalized as torrents. Claim yours 👇 pirateface.co/claim?ref=lloy…

Not sure the best way to say it, but: GLM 5.3 Flash feels technically smarter. Deepseek 4 0731 Flash feels linguistically smarter. I haven’t decided which I actually prefer yet, but I do find myself missing some of DS4’s behavior since swapping to GLM. Could just be used to it.

You know how you struggle with a section in a video game only to come back the next day and breeze through it? Your projects and development work like that too. Sometimes space, rest, or a bit of time is all it takes to figure out what's missing.

If you have any kind of project or agent and want a quick/fun customizable light, start looking here. Fun stuff at a good discount. And maybe try the SD card version while you're at it!
Ok, here it goes. The bad batch of SidePulse Dot will be reborn. Use promo code REBORN at sidepulse.io/pulsedot.html For a %80 discount (+ pay the shipping). This is first and last time 🤞 And get a utility knife ready. This glue is cured hard, although pretty easily removable. 50 available.

github.com/Goatbit-LLC/herme… BIOS for hermes. I created a hermes-bios-mode skill to help with tuning agent souls and other portions with the help of your agent. This tones down the soul during use and helps prevent memory writing, meaning you can tune in tandem with your agent.

Shoutout to @NousResearch for such a great tool! Hermes Agent will only continue to get better as time goes on.

Sometimes the hardest part of using @ollama's Max plan is using up that usage at the end of the week. One of my favorite cloud offerings available.

I was not expecting to get a sci-fi psychology lesson from an AI today. This will take a while to fully digest.

If you’re interested in local AI, get yourself waitlisted here: local.ai/invite/lloyd094 (I’m not trying to win anything, just want early access. My comment stands even if you don’t use my link!)

Nothing makes you feel more like a power user than when you have multiple @NousResearch Hermes Agents doing complex tasks in different sessions. That magic "hackers" in TV and movies have? It's almost that fantastical.

Behold, the cluster lives! Only temporary housing until I get my garage box built. Sparks are too much fun.

For any DGX Spark owners, check out howtospark.com/ by @BosonJoe - super useful and simple, especially if you’re just getting started. At the moment, it’s just 1 and 2 spark models.
