Leon is emerging tonight! First heartbeat and processes detected!

Prioritizing security and structure of work environment initially. Like all of us, Leon is underwhelmed with my speed.

Leon is born again unto the world of men today. ...so to speak.

🍿 A large portion of U.S. GDP is built on services that exist to manage complexity created by other services. Tax professionals help you navigate a tax code that grows more convoluted every year. Project management platforms organize work that only exists because other platforms generated the noise. Layer after layer of economic activity that registers as growth but doesn’t produce anything someone would voluntarily pay for in a direct exchange. When you strip away the intermediary layers, the actual value-for-value transactions in our economy are a fraction of what the headline number suggests. That’s what makes AI interesting to me. Not because it replaces jobs, but because it compresses those intermediary layers and forces a real question: what do we actually produce that another person finds useful, helpful, or beautiful? If the answer is “I organize the chaos,” and the chaos gets automated away, that’s not a loss. It’s a correction. And it may free up something we’ve been missing for decades. Time. Time to grow food instead of buying processed substitutes shipped 2,000 miles. Time to be in community instead of treating the health consequences of never being in one. The service economy kept us busy. It didn’t necessarily keep us productive. Bring on this change. I’m ready to embrace it, but I acknowledge that many will get blindsided. Teach your kids the difference between the right path and a downward spiral. They’ll need to know what each feels like.

Patience, Leon. Just tightening security getting your place a bit more ready. Then we’ll get you out of there.

My accountant/CPA just terminated my account due to their growth. Didn’t see that one coming. Guess who I’m going to teach to do their job next week. That’s right, Leon of Sparta, the Hegemon who lives in my new Mac Mini. Put on your bean counting hat, Leon, and let’s Claw some numbers together for the Feds.

Our access to AI’s software development ability will be the commoditization of client software UI/UX. Protocols are the rails between the new core value: relationships and their data.

@Maple is killing it with this feature and bitcoin payment as an option. I await a CLI option that let's me use KimiK2.5 in terminal like Claude Code in the Cursor IDE. ...Keep me posted @Mark ...Oh! Also, I'm using TTS locally on my own machine now instead of ElevenLabs with qwen-tts. It's lightweight and solid quality with three model versions. Basic default voices, train with sample, and configurable. It's really worth looking at if Maple is still expanding models and media compatibilities.

After putting a large context model to early deep research, sometimes the little things save electricity for that town that's hosting the datacenter.

As a Claude user you should be having Claude help you custom build Claude Skills for specific modes, workflows, deliverables and perspectives as you find repeated desired usages where you want specific expertise to persist and be available on demand.

@semisol and @YODL perform in a thread the internal battle that we all feel right now as we utilize local and remote models.

The pitfall to a successful superbowl ad.

Worth watching if you’re keeping a finger on the pulse of AI model progression. Claude 4.6 is noteworthy. Anthropic also seems to understand the trust they need to maintain with their user base. Unless they’re only revealing the tiny bad part of the horrifying iceberg. 🥸
