@Aknotymous Try both. Easy to setup. Running them both with gpt 5.5 and ChatGPT sub. Prefer the setup in Hermes but performance seems better in OpenClaw.

Trying to benchmark Openclaw vs. Hermes. Hermes burning significantly more tokens than Openclaw?

His May presentation on ‘AI eats the world’ is an excellent read. Don’t feed it to Claude, read it. ben-evans.com/presentations

It's my first @Cloudflare blog, and it's a big one. We're rebuilding WordPress as if it were built today. It's end to end TypeScript, works as an Astro plugin, and has secure plugin execution in dynamic workers. It's called EmDash, try it now ⤵️ blog.cloudflare.com/emdash-wordpre…

The benefit of writing good docs is better grounding for the clankers. Nice.

This is the first AI cut. And it will send shockwaves. Remember: Jack is one of the greatest founders of all time. He created this platform that we’re all on, and has been early to many technological shifts. And Block was doing very well as a business. So, for him to cut 40% of headcount in this way is a signal to everyone in tech: get good now. Become indispensable. Work nights and weekends. Learn the AI tools and raise your game. Or you might not make the cut, as an employee or as a company. I know. That sucks. But capitalism is natural selection. The market is unforgiving, because you are the market. After all, it’s not like you’re buying some random gallon of milk from the store; you’re always buying the best product at the best price. So too for apps: your customers are always installing the best piece of code they can get. And because AI is going to create new winners, if you aren’t the best in your market, someone may become better with AI. Particularly with the new agentic workflows. To be clear: Block’s severance is generous by any measure. 20 weeks of pay, six months of health insurance and vested equity, all of that goes far beyond any typical package. Jack did his level best to cushion the disruption. The laid off are a temporarily unfortunate class, as opposed to a permanent underclass. But had he not leaned into the AI transition, he might have had to lay off more people, slowly, and over time, as faster competitors went after his market share. How would they do that? Sure, AI isn’t a panacea by any means, but the closer you are to software engineering the more aggressively you need to embrace agentic workflows. The AI companies are already doing that, and places like Stripe, Shopify, Coinbase, and now Block are pushing hard on this area. There will be overcorrection. But the fundamental technical innovation is real. And you need to either disrupt yourself or get disrupted.

we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company. #### today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are

Moltbook is nothing more than a puppeted multi-agent LLM loop. Each “agent” is just next-token prediction shaped by human-defined prompts, curated context, routing rules, and sampling knobs. There is no endogenous goals. There is no self-directed intent. What looks like autonomous interaction is recursive prompting: one model’s output becomes another model’s input, repeated. Controversial outputs aren’t “beliefs,” they’re the model generating high-engagement extremes it learned from the internet, because the system rewards that behavior.

@bcherny I’ve had Claude auto update claude.md regularly, even splitting it up and adding to relevant sub folders to keep the main one lean. This works well. However, Claude continuously forgets what’s in the file. Basics like don’t build on main, use pnpm. Suggestions?

Definitely the sense you get when you visit. Also a belief, unlike most of the rest of the world right now, that tomorrow will be better than yesterday.
