Half joking, half serious. We need AI to challenge assumptions to not just "you are absolutely correct" all the time.
I really need these LLMs to start being more like the gate keeping assholes of StackOverflow. Just a little dash of that energy would go a long way.
ponytail pi extension. get it.

#243That screenshot is some Lynchian horror. "#engineering. New direction, team – we're moving the prototype to Flutter" and then the humans and agent bots engage in flirty emoji-filled chats with cutesy names "I nailed the physics, UI shell @Honeybot?" I'm trying to imagine a world in which this makes sense as a way to organize software development work, but coming up short. It's on a blockchain or something though, so…
It doesn't. But as long as it's a vibe-coded slop product shat out by one of the tech glitterati using the latest marketing wanketeering and sucking up tokens to power the in-built AI nonsense, it'll be eaten up. The bubble can't pop soon enough.

#244[I work for Slack, opinions very much my own] Having agents see everything you and your colleagues see is cool. The challenge comes when you want to make certain things private to certain people. In that world you don’t want multiplayer agents leaking data, so you end up having to write and maintain complex rulesets about what specific resources agents have access to. Single-player agents, on the other hand, are much…
I'm from Asana so I'm probably biased too :) and I agree single-player agents are easier, but multi-player agents that understand end to end workflows etc. are very powerful. That's what we've built and yes it took a lot of thought and time to built it in a way that it would be privacy conscious and not leak the wrong thing to the wrong people etc. I haven't player with Buzz yet but signed up and admire them for thinking differently and trying to build something interesting.
Re: Jack Dorsey launches Buzz to combine team chat, AI agents and Git hosting
#245Bots in team chat is not a bad idea. I've been experimenting with that for a few months. We started with Slack. This kind of works but dialing in the gazillion of permissions needed to end up with something that works is a bit painful. And you have to do this over and over again for each new bot. So, we started experimenting with self hosted alternatives. First we tried Matrix. It's nice but a bit too strict on end t…
How about XMPP?

#247Forgive my ignorance, but what is the advantage of decentralization and cryptographically signed events in the context of a work chat/ coordination tool? Could a company not accomplish the same goal self hosting something like zulip?

#248> Explain Like I'm 5 > Buzz is an open-source, self-hosted workspace that combines team chat, AI agents and Git hosting using signed Nostr events, so teams can keep control of their data. Very different expectations of 5-year-olds.
I'm reading that Buzz is a buzzword, buzzword corpospeak jargon buzzword. Buzzword corpospeak.
Anyone know what it actually does?

Cool. Windows was made in 7.5 years. Since you can do one month per 2 days it should take you less than 6 months to make something equivalent to Windows and make as much money. How long have you been doing it??

Nah. I made plenty of software and then abandoned them because I lost interest in them. My GitHub is already a fairly large collection of my own abandoned software, and there are 10x more on my PC that I never bothered to upload to GitHub. Easy abandonment is always there.
Not at all the same thing. Your half-baked works can't appear to be anything else than what they actually are. You are in no danger of wasting anyone's time. For one thing, you probably never tried to mislead anyone. Did you put 8 minutes of effort into something and then come here and try to say "Hey world, here is a thing you should all care about and invest in. I mean, I didn't, but you should."? But even if you d…
I respectfully disagree. Single-person projects that are not commercially motivated always have the risk of abandonment, regardless of how polished they seem. Depending on the problem itself, I could very well get bored after 8 minutes of effort, or 8 months of work. Some of my personal projects had a lot of polish because I really cared; I abandoned them because I stopped caring.
(Also, adding polish was a great procrastination activity when you did not want to work on more important tasks.)
> Hey world, here is a thing you should all care about and invest in.
I think this is where our mentality differs the most. I never requested the world to care about my projects, which is why I did not feel any weight of responsibility when I abandon my projects.
