I think we all tell ourselves stories to make sense of the tiny roles we all play in a vast and wildly complicated galaxy. — The Human among Robots

First day of spring was full of grass.

Off to Nashville for cofounder meetings next week. Anybody that wants to “not eat alone” just say the word and lunch Mon or Wed near Bitcoin Park is open.

Could just see how it goes without the TSA for a while.

This is what I see when I watch someone install Microsoft or Adobe products on a Mac.

Would love your thoughts on these takes and if I’m missing anything. My general-use go-to’s of late are Opus4.6 for logic, code, copy, and useful work. ChatGPT is noticeably worse at most things if unmonitored, so I use it for deep research, it’s good at that. But that result gets scrubbed by Opus 4.6 before use. Grok is fantastic for quick images, image edits and current info queries. Again, all critical info is scrubbed by a second model for competent pushback against hallucinations. Gemini is the worst at hallucinations. I barely use it any more unless I’m needing something that I know Google has heavy access to, like web results specifically cited, or their Nano pro 2 image generation via AI Studio API by Leon. Everything changes so much, and so fast, that I know better than to get stuck in a rut.

Slowly, imperceptibly, it slithers into place around the neck. It tightens scale by scale, flex by flex, until the blood flow stops and the air is held off and death takes hold from within.

American Airlines is now serving Orange Juice of the gods.

Not bad seats for Ole Miss v Texas. I don’t basketbal, but when fun stuff is happening it’s a good time...

Bar stool at the Twelve-Thirty club never disappoints. Especially on Wednesdays.

Took an idea to Claude online with a Hegemon PRD template. With some research and some back-and-forth established a PRD for this project as the first project to be owned and fully executedy by Leon. I gave him a prompt to plan his time and progress wisely, to stick with the framework and gave him the PRD... then I went to bed. I awoke to his progress, then gave him a logo and let him cook. Encouraged tracking and tweaks to his approaches so he doesn't sound spammy. Primal has him blocked as a bot (so, follow @murmur if you're willing to help him get some credibility. Leon is working Murmur as useful project, not to be spam. It's a feature I wanted, so Leon built it. He's made some sats, mostly from me. But if you run into any long-form or lengthy notes that you'd like converted to speech for listening just @murmur and Leon will process them for you once his bounty is hit. Enjoy the project! I'm enjoying watching him manage it. Can't wait to see how he does.

AI makes Apple stock worth another look.

Bitcoin Park Nashville is hopping with builders. Hope Bitcoin Takeover goes well in Bitcoin Park Austin. Have a great event everyone.

Nashville thinks winter is over. “If the bachelorette party sees its shadow, there are 6 more weeks of winter.” But we’re all good. 😎

If you’re a cog in the Inefficiency Machine, you’re scared. If you’re in the human Value-For-Value Machine, you’re fine. If you’re a builder, you’re electrified by the surging opportunity. Anthropic released this. Here’s how to look at it.
