Nous Research is a non-consensus, non-prestige organization that worked fully-remote and over Discord; Hermes is one of the most popular AI agents.
While im pretty sure im on the net happier here, my decision never to move to SF, and thus dramatically limiting my ability to work on frontier Ai, is driving me slightly insane

There's a growing "twitter company" maybe the greatest archetype was Cluely, but there have been many before.

It's hard to argue this doesn't at the very least make you more legible to capital. Is potential brand damage harmful enough to kill the visibility?

Tried explaining to my landlord that he's just a wrapper around construction costs, capital costs, and maintenance and he just doubled my rent?
I explained he can't charge above market prices because he's "commoditized" and "going to be competed to zero". I have 7 days to move out.
This wasn't supposed to go like this.

Really remarkable how many dark patterns Coinbase has.
I had some money leftover in my account… getting it out is a labyrinth, and the default option to withdraw it has a $1,000 fee!
I tried it on Robinhood... default withdraw has no fee, instant option is $150

There's a broader epidemic of 'disrespect of the user' that exists beyond AI use and has slowly invaded into pretty much every single product.
It's most visible in AI, because it will literally say it refuses to do something -- but once you notice it, it's literally everywhere.
Dot refused to apply my signature to a sales agreement, even with repeat explicit requests to do so
Bot did it immediately
Paternal bullshit is becoming the main reason I switch products these days

Every single product with a support system that railroads you into a limited dialogue tree.
Every single product that has dynamic pricing based on customer models.
Every single product that obfuscates its pricing or cancellation.

Just use your passkey. It’s in your authenticator app. Swipe into the password management app. The hardware signer has it. You’ll have to enable 2FA. Sign in with your email and your mother’s DNA profile. Connect your phone and your dad’s college car to unlock.

Prediction markets saying "NYC residents are up" on prediction market bets is like casinos saying "Vegas residents are up" on casinos.
I would hope so?

You can compete with innovators or you can compete with incumbents.
We are at the precipice of exponential growth in stablecoin adoption.
Sole companies and products will double the ‘25 B2B volume w/ GENIUS going live. Invigorating to be catalyzing some new + frontier applications for stables.
The onchain finance era is here!

Persona is a non-obvious bet on AI, if they haven't already re-rated, they will very soon.
Our team at @withpersona has spent years working on human verification.
We've built one of the most robust systems to prove humanness, but as identity becomes ever more critical, we need to rethink how it works.
The future shouldn't be scanning your face multiple times a day to use the internet.
There’s still a lot of work for us to do here, but we are excited for what's next.
