VC investor metric brain. Right?

Right.

If these are the people making the decisions (and don't even get me started on the 'technical' folks at a16z...), the cluely-esque enshittification of VC over the last few years makes A LOT of sense.

As I said on Product Hunt (which upset Garry quite a lot) -- If he weren't the CEO of YC, this wouldn't be on PH, and it wouldn't be on HN. This is not an impressive setup, folks. It's overengineered and deeply into its own form -- it will not make your agents better, and is likely to make it worse. There are lots of other people to follow/learn from/mimic for skills/context engineering.

Would you please share a couple? TIA

I hope I’m wrong, but I’ve seen this pattern a couple of times with close friends: they get obsessed with a topic, their sleep falls apart, they seem manic, and eventually they start doing really strange things online and crash and burn. They usually recover, but by then a lot of relationships are damaged and they’re left with a lot of shame. Now I know these are symptoms of bipolar disorder/psychosis (they both even…

Why should anyone care about this?

For the same reason I care about Elon Musk's decisions after he purchased Twitter: I want more tech CEOs to publish as much of their bullshit online as possible for people to hopefully realise what their "superhuman productivity" actually looks like in practice.

With that state of mind Gary will be in charge of the FBI in a matter of days. Watch out Kash, there is a new weirdo in town and he got +10 to AI Psychosis.

The way the whole repo is written it’s like he thinks he is the messAIah. We are all getting sold glass marbles.

Get some damn sleep Gary.

Omg, this is like god mode. edit: There's a few funny threads on other social media. Honestly, though, let a guy get excited, when you find new ways of using new tech; he's one of the lucky 10,000 who has discovered prompt scaffolds. There are better, bespoke tools for more targeted tasks.

Tan is the reason YC batches have gone down hill. I don't think he gets the benefit of the doubt anymore. This is just pure slop for someone way too high on their stash.

I think Doll over on bsky has an interesting Claude setup going. Some kind of adversarial mode where they pitch Claude against another model (Gemini, I think) combined with their own “memory” model called Chainlink.

They’ve recently started using their AI pipeline to put out rust-based conversions of tools and it seems to be going pretty well.
