don't blame me, I voted for extreme intelligence

“Supreme Intelligence,” probably because of its relationship to the Supreme Court, is losing badly to both “Superior” and “Extreme Intelligence.” Therefore, we are going to take “Supreme Intelligence” OUT, deleting it as a qualifier, and let you vote for the Final Two: Superior

@XXXParteYoung @tamarawinter I wanted to buy almonds last week on a trip to New York, but they were locked up. I've never seen almonds locked up before. I think we should abolish prisons for almonds

@kimmonismus Reasoning effort mainly changes how many output tokens are used. But most spend is input tokens. Adjusting reasoning effort when you're hitting limits is the wrong move. Use Terra high (or max/ultra) if you don't care about latency.

Opus 4.8 is like a very good Staff engineer who doesn’t want to work here anymore. Every conversation feels like it’s starting by shrugging and stopping whatever Reddit browsing it was doing and then coming back with the minimum viable, but totally skillful, answer.

Jack is right: companies will be transformed to put intelligence at the center of a swarm that offers its services to the market. The same needs to happen to our whole society. We all have much to offer beyond our labor, and we'll need to organize for it to be valued.

Crypto's original vision was radical: build a fairer economy from scratch. Speculation brought the energy and the capital, but the vision is still there, waiting for us to follow through.

Brands paid NBC $8M for 30 seconds of your attention. You got nothing. We need a new economy where we're the owners, not the product.

@danyalprout @_jxom Another way of thinking about it is that wallets should use fillTransaction/maxPriorityFeePerGas, but apps that generate outlier transactions should use meterPriorityFeePerGas before handing the transaction to the wallet to sign.

@danyalprout @_jxom Maybe! But perhaps most users should accept the standard maxPriorityFeePerGas instead of outbidding resource metering. If normal users need to win an auction, that's a bug to be fixed by repricing the resource. The metered fee auction is for users who know they're outliers.
