Swapped my OpenClaw to Claude again. I played around with Gemini and Chinese models in past month but it didn’t work for me.

i share your sentiment, the politics venture hurt his brand, but he's still a crazy impressive entrepreneur

i know pieter levels, but i'm not aware that he's making videos?

He might be referring to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6reLWfFNer0

Richard Branson, he goes against so much convention:

- everyone has so much process to "hire right", but in his books he hired kinda random it seems. And seems to delegate a lot rather than "founder mode"

- the original remote worker: bought a caribbean island for cheap and managed his businesses from there

- random collections of businesses under his brand: airline, telecom, music, ...

was he just like super lucky that everything worked out for him?


I burned my week quota working on one small repo (with a lot of data files though) for one working day yesterday. It wasn’t like that before.

Something definitely changed, or it’s somehow reading all that data over and over again


I don’t think that if you read as much as Marc that you can do it without introspection. Correct me if wrong but you always pick up learnings and ideas which apply to your own life.

I do understand where he’s coming from. One of my forms of procrastination is reading my old notes and pondering and pretending I’m self-improving. But it’s actually a way to avoid action.

And I did learn that if you want to get somewhere, action is what gets you there. Not endless introspection.


I think this is inevitable, and I'm trying to find ways to set up a controlled environment, in which we build a robust safe and isolated foundation, while clients can mess around and vibe-code their features on top of that. I'm still figuring it out so feel free to share ideas.


Why would a standard git flow not work? They can vide code whatever they want, just review it before it is merged.


Hydro has its own problems, it traps fish and it significantly changes ecosystems. It might be renewable but not necessary ecological


"Building and recycling windmills has a carbon footprint"-ass argument.


When I was 12 my school books said we would run out of oil in 20 years

I’m older than 32 now


When you were 12 it probably said the life expectancy was X years. If you reached X+1 years would you conclude that you would live forever?


Do you believe there is an unlimited amount of oil in the world?


At least until the end of our respective lifetimes


At the moment I'm pretty inclined to hang up if I feel I'm wasting my time with a robot.

But maybe soon we will not even realise we speak to a robot, given the current speed of ai development.

I wonder how that will erode trust in calls. I moved from cold emailing and cold LinkedIn to cold calling because of the massive amounts of ai spam I have to compete with. But maybe cold calling will die soon as well if the robots emerge.


You would probably hang up if it went to voicemail too so the net loss is 0


I've been car shopping recently, and it took me a full week to realize that every dealership I'd talked to had an LLM with a fake name handling customer intake. I was 4 emails deep with one before I stopped to think about how plausible their near-instant response times were.


Yup. After painstakingly having the AI misunderstand what you're trying to say, you're connected to a human and you need to do your story again.


I don't ever have the AI misunderstand what I mean.

I do get bullshit answers sometimes, but it always understands my intent.
