...Is Steve okay? Anyone on here know him personally and able to reach out?
If he is not lying he's making so much money from this AI psychosis that I doubt anybody near him thinks he's not well

#72I always enjoy reading these posts of unique experiments
We never really know what will work until we build "something" and it's often a messy process to create totally different things that no one else is making
So, it looks like the experiments are coming along well...

#73I really don’t like this guy.

The guy built an engine designed to burn tokens: https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1100/format:webp/1*85x... Each little critter in there is a component that both consumes and produces tokens, and it runs in a feedback loop, so each token inserted into the machine will cause it burn exponentially more tokens in order to output yet another token. Ostensibly its purpose is to create software, but what it does is ve…
Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time, we created some absurd token burning architectures.

#75I used to like Steve's posts. They were all way too long, but a fun and interesting read nonetheless. He started to lose me when at Sourcegraph where he oversell Cody which didn't do anything useful (I even had a commercial meeting with Sourcegraph people who weren't of much help); then he completely lost me with his GasTown business where AI meets crypto (what could possibly go wrong with that). Now I can't read any…
It is a rough go for a long-time reader, the bragging tone of six figure engagements and “whales” (i.e., suckers) keeping the game going. The statement that what he is doing is what the reader will soon catch up to feels like someone who can no longer see land. That said, as another nut with an agent factory toiling away around me, I’ve also started to think about replacing any kind of CI in the cloud with local. I c…

Same here.
But maybe the answer is not `local` but "dispatch workload (to wherever) from your CLI"

#76> Another (small) architected respect dimension is gender pronouns. They can be a bit awkward with agents. I was using "they/them" intentionally with all my agents, but I noticed they were often defaulting to human patterns by using he/him for power-roles like Lion, Marshal, and Seneschal. So I started using "she" for obviously-female characters like Goose, and they picked up on it, at which point it was unclear who wanted what.
Get this guy some help.

#77His game has only a handful (like literally 5-8) players [0], at least on Steam.

This creeped me out a little, simply because about a week before Anthropic started using the name, it’s what Claude suggested for the harness we had built and all of the command line instructions look like “dispatch noun verb”
Re: The Shape of Things to Come
#79Anything Steve ends up building, will become obsolete after a few months of default harness and model improvements.
This is a doomed niche.

#80"Beads is the best. If you're not using Beads, you're failing. Gas Town, which I have just told you was a failure, was built on Beads. Gas City, which also failed, was also built on Beads. Wheelhouse, which I'm working on now and will be awesome? Beads. Therefore you should use Beads."
