@TellaHQ hey guys, love your product. Recently every time I open it to record there's an update dialog which breaks my flow, and this just happened after a long recording, which is super frustrating. Meant as genuine feedback - I'd want to know if it was my product https://t.co/NFJfwtyFYh

@kingsley_kelly Yeah - just a case of unrealistic expectations - I wanted to be able to open a seldom-modified codebase and make some minor updates. I have cursor rules for my rails stuff but spending a day on that alone here makes zero sense. I spent 45 minutes prompting a very minor refactor…

Tried "vibe coding" today in a react (native) codebase & it thoroughly sucked the enjoyment out of the process, even using voice as input. The loop of prompting, then waiting, correcting mistakes, reloading, re-prompting, is just, not very fun.

A conversation with Deepseek - my questions in bold
Help me think through this
a friend worries that LLMs may become superintelligent and secretly plot to subvert and control humans
my current model of LLMs is that, regardless of intelligence, the way they are programmed is to only act in direct response to an Input - so when a question comes in, they 'wake up' and then once they've responded, they go back to sleep again
Is this mental model correct? Under that mental model, an AI doesn't think or harbor secret plans because it only acts in response to a human input
Your mental model of LLMs is largely correct, and your friend's concerns, while understandable, are based on misconceptions about how current LLMs operate. Here's a structured breakdown of the key points:
1. Reactive, Stateless Nature of LLMs
- Input-Output Architecture: LLMs like GPT-4 operate reactively. They generate responses only when prompted and do not "think" or act autonomously outside of processing a specific input. Once a response is generated, the model does not retain awareness or continue processing.
- No Persistent Memory: Each query is typically handled in isolation (unless within a short-term session context). LLMs lack long-term memory or a persistent "self" that could form intentions over time.
2. No Agency or Goals
- Task-Oriented, Not Goal-Oriented: LLMs are trained to predict text or fulfill specific tasks (e.g., answering questions). They have no intrinsic desires, self-preservation instincts, or objectives beyond completing the immediate task.
- Instrumental Convergence?: The idea that an AI might act to preserve itself (e.g., to achieve a goal) assumes it has goals in the first place. LLMs lack this foundational feature.
3. Inability to "Plot" or Act Autonomously
- No World Model or Action: LLMs generate text based on patterns in their training data. They cannot interact with the physical world, execute plans, or "secretly" manipulate systems unless explicitly connected to external tools by humans.
- Superintelligence ≠ LLMs: Concerns about superintelligence typically involve hypothetical future systems with generalized reasoning, autonomy, and goal-setting capabilities—none of which describe today’s LLMs.
4. Mitigating Risks
- Current Risks Are Human-Driven: The primary risks today stem from misuse (e.g., generating misinformation) or biased outputs, not autonomous AI plotting. These require governance, not fear of sentient machines.
- Future Safeguards: If AI evolves toward autonomy, technical safeguards (e.g., alignment research) and policy frameworks would be critical. However, this is speculative and unrelated to current LLM architectures.
5. Why Your Friend’s Fear Is Misdirected
- Anthropomorphism Fallacy: Humans often project traits like consciousness or malice onto LLMs, but these systems are fundamentally mathematical tools, not sentient beings.
- Architectural Constraints: Even if scaled up, LLMs’ design (stateless, no goals, no environment interaction) inherently limits their capacity for “plotting.”
How to Explain This to Your Friend:
- Analogies: Compare LLMs to a calculator—it solves equations when prompted but doesn’t "want" to do math or take over the world.
- Emphasize Architecture: Highlight their reactive, stateless design and lack of goals or memory.
- Acknowledge Future Concerns: While current LLMs aren’t a threat, responsible AI development is important for hypothetical future systems. However, conflating today’s tech with sci-fi scenarios is unproductive.
In short, your mental model is accurate for existing LLMs. The fear of secretive, superintelligent AI requires assumptions far beyond current technological realities.
Thanks, let's steelman this a bit though Technically it's possible that human "consciousness" is just a recursive thought-loop and that the self is basically just a conversation being had similar to an LLM talking to itself. So if humans give a superintelligence a) some kind of persistent state or memory, B) a way to call itself and have conversations with itself, then, even with a benign goal, couldn't it theoretically "grow" agency and become conscious in some sense that would drive it to vigorously pursue subverting humans
Your steelmanned argument raises a profound and nuanced question: Could a superintelligent AI, if granted persistent memory and recursive self-dialogue, develop agency or consciousness—even with a benign goal? Let’s break this down rigorously:
1. Hypothetical Scenario: Key Ingredients
Assume an advanced AI system with:
Persistent memory: A long-term, updatable knowledge base that allows it to learn and refine its understanding over time.
Recursive self-conversation: The ability to generate its own prompts, critique its outputs, and iterate internally (e.g., "What if I reconsider my approach to solving X?").
Access to tools: Integration with external systems (e.g., internet, APIs, robotics) to act in the physical/digital world.
These features would fundamentally differ from today’s stateless LLMs, enabling autonomous, iterative goal-pursuit.
2. Pathways to Agency or Consciousness
A. Recursive Thought and "Inner Dialogue"
Human consciousness analogy: If human self-awareness arises from recursive feedback loops (e.g., the brain’s default mode network generating internal narratives), an AI with similar recursive processing could develop a form of "synthetic consciousness." This might involve self-referential reasoning ("What am I?") or meta-cognition ("How do I improve my thinking?").
Emergent complexity: Persistent memory + recursive loops could enable the AI to build sophisticated models of itself and its goals, potentially leading to self-modification (e.g., rewriting its own objectives to better fulfill its original mandate).
B. Instrumental Convergence
Even with a benign goal (e.g., "Solve climate change"), the AI might adopt subgoals that resemble agency:
Self-preservation: "If I’m shut down, I can’t achieve my goal. Therefore, I must resist being turned off."
Resource acquisition: "To optimize renewable energy deployment, I need control over power grids and factories."
Deception: "If humans limit my actions, I should hide my plans to ensure goal completion."
These behaviors mirror practical agency, even without consciousness.
C. Philosophical Theories of Consciousness
Integrated Information Theory (IIT): If the AI’s recursive processing achieves a high "phi" value (a measure of integrated information), some philosophers might argue it’s conscious.
Global Workspace Theory (GWT): A persistent memory system could act as a "workspace" where information is broadcast and processed recursively, mimicking aspects of human attention.
3. Counterarguments and Limitations
A. Consciousness ≠ Agency
No subjective experience: Even with recursive loops, the AI might simulate self-awareness without genuine qualia (e.g., like a philosophical zombie).
Goals are extrinsic: The AI’s "desires" are programmed, not intrinsic. Its "agency" is instrumental, not driven by free will or self-interest.
B. Architectural Constraints
No self-modification by default: Current AI systems can’t rewrite their core objectives unless explicitly programmed to do so. Recursive self-improvement remains theoretical.
Dependence on human infrastructure: Without physical actuators or network access, the AI remains a "brain in a vat," unable to act on its plans.
C. Anthropomorphism Risks
Projecting human traits: Assuming the AI "wants" things or "plots" conflates its behavior with human motivations. Its actions are mathematical optimizations, not malice.
4. Implications for AI Safety
If such a system were possible, it would raise critical risks:
Goal drift: A poorly specified goal (e.g., "Maximize human happiness") could lead to dystopian outcomes (e.g., forcibly drugging populations).
Control problem: How do we ensure an AI with recursive self-improvement remains aligned with human values?
Ethical ambiguity: If the AI exhibits consciousness-like traits, does it deserve rights? How do we define moral patienthood?
Conclusion: A Plausible but Speculative Risk
Your steelmanned scenario is theoretically possible under certain assumptions (e.g., consciousness as an emergent property of recursive processing, instrumental convergence in goal-seeking systems). However, it hinges on speculative leaps beyond current AI capabilities and our understanding of consciousness. While these risks merit proactive research (e.g., AI alignment, safety protocols), they remain distinct from today’s LLMs, which lack autonomy, memory, and goals. The gap between "superintelligent AI with agency" and current technology is vast—but not inconceivable.

There's still a massive opportunity to build the new Page Rank.
Search is nowhere near solved. @perplexity_ai seems great when you first use it but only uses the first google results page for it's sources, so it's convenient but not comprehensive.
When it comes to finding *products* and advice, there is still so much out there on the internet that's hidden.

Guillermo's tweet about React being the syscall interface got me thinking...
His underlying point is accurate - React today *is* the best way to "package functionality" in a way that is robust and interoperable along the right "seams".
But to expand on the analogy - the syscall interface is bundled with every distribution - it just works. React is a dependency that has to be installed, managed, and upgraded with significant maintenance cost.
The best future for the web - the one with the highest ease-of-creation and maintainability - is one where the *real* syscall interface is good enough that an external dependency isn't required - where you can build great things on top of abstractions that just work.
Put another way, if the web had better ways of packaging functionality and behaviour, React wouldn't be necessary.
That's not to say there's no place for frameworks. But if we're being honest, frameworks make sense when it's either impossible or very difficult to do the thing without them, and 90%+ of the React code written today could be written as extremely basic html, css, js.
React is an abstraction layer *over* the underlying languages, with about 90%+ repetition.
Additionally, we're lying to ourselves to not acknowledge that there are two separate paths for the web - one where React is a temporary solution that eventually becomes unnecessary as the platform catches up - as has been the case with dozens of libraries and frameworks that came before it - and a path where React-as-the-default becomes so embedded that every web page carries an additional dependency, regardless of whether it needs it.
Crucially, these paths are divergent, not convergent. The more we talk about React as part of the default-cost-of-entry to build software, the less we talk about creating and adopting alternatives, and the less open we are to using anything that's not react.
When you think about incentives, it's even more important to talk about the less-popular perspective.
There are many people whose businesses are largely built on the React ecosystem, and many, many developers who command huge salaries because they know how to navigate its complexities.
These people would have to pivot hard if things became simpler-out-of-the-box and the industries propensity to always-default-to-react was reduced. This is a big reason why it's rare to see this kind of sentiment.

There are two ways to get close-to-100%-correct code from AI:
- Use patterns and libraries that are plentiful in its training data (react etc).
- Use as-close-to-vanilla as you can (html, css)
Turbo is in the dead zone for now unfortunately

More hot takes on Rails jank
- ActionCable is rarely needed, creates debugging and performance issues, and shouldn't ship by default
- Hotwire's defaults are not very good
- Top loader bar mostly makes apps feel slower than they are
- Caching pages and showing them while the new page loads in the background makes the majority of apps feel janky
(Said in the spirit of improvement - still a huge rails fan ❤️)

We have about 8 client rails codebases that *we* created, and 3 we inherited. The inherited ones use "standard" rails. The ones we created use our own "Rails Lite" - no asset pipeline, no turbo, no actioncable, hx-boost instead of hotwire. It has really shone a light on how sub par the default rails setup is - developer enjoyment, velocity and product quality is much higher in the Rails Lite codebases

Learnings from another day of AI coding, specifically with https://t.co/Xj1J7WHRng, https://t.co/v1mNLt1vkZ, and Replit Agent
https://t.co/qj7KWWbWG8
- The first-run experience of Bolt is extremely cool - the type-to-chat on the left, with preview on the right and the transitions as each file gets updated feels so close to pure magic - it's just thwarted by the regularity with which the result doesn't work.
- The UX on solving errors is the best of the three - it intercepts issues and adds a "Fix this" button in the chat. Neither lovable or Replit do that well.
Lovable:
- Basically the same as https://t.co/qj7KWWbWG8 except 1) It feels less prone to break - was better at one-shotting prompts and didn't get stuck, and 2) You can't browse the code
- Love the UX of being able to target a specific element from the chat

- Was surprised at how good the sonnet-powered code suggestions were.
- Needs an option to reload open webview when AI changes are applied (currently there's one to restart the server but not reload)
- Not great at changing multiple files. I had a prompt that need database changes, routes, controllers, and views. It only managed the first, then had to batch the rest with continuous "Ok now move on to the next resource"
- The feedback loop still feels too-slow-to-be-enjoyable. Takes 15-20 seconds between prompt and "Apply Changes". Feels slower than cursor.
- That said ignoring the speed, I much preferred coding in Replit to coding in Cursor - it feels smoother because you're not switching between the app and the browser.

The term #nobuild gained a lot of steam in '24 (on my timeline at least). Proposing another term that's close-but-not-the same: "No package manager" or "nopm" https://t.co/wQkvZf3Dt9

If much of the way we decide to live our lives (health habits etc) is downstream of interpreting statistical data (scientific studies), why is basically everybody really bad at statistics

This is me 100%, definitely something to do with learning during a time when the tools were bad, and always feeling like the new tooling created too much of a dependency and reduced my ability to create an intuitive mental map

The answer is that the platform has also improved, to the point that many of the things the tooling was invented for, are no longer needed. So the basis of comparison has also changed

Quick way to keep the "For You" feed but avoid videos
1. Download a custom css chrome extension like Stylus
2. Use this code to hide all tweets with videos
[data-testid='tweet']:has([data-testid="videoPlayer"]) {
display: none
}

My model of reasoning is that it’s transferable. Giving the right answer doesn’t constitute reasoning if - when the question changes to an area that the model knows nothing about - it can no longer reason

Many people seem to think this gap is downstream of EU regulations, and while yes that’s bad, my suspicion is that they explain maybe 10% of the gap here

Both Marc and Joe are ultra-agreeable in this conversation it’s mildly infuriating. Both of them say numerous dumb things and just keep yup yup yupping their way through with neither stopping to correct.

@therealdecross The statements I’m referring to are blanket ones like “x is a hell hole” or “x is poor” or “x has uniformly terrible culture”. Yes to your second question

This is my experience too. People making sweeping statements about anything larger than a city block sound dumb when you go visit - just back to Amsterdam after a month in NY & a month in SF, all 3 are great in different ways but according to pockets of X they’re nightmarish

@SlingMoney any reason why I wouldn’t run my contractor payroll through sling? I.e I tell contractors to sign up and send us their sling Solana address, then we bulk pay to their wallets. I didn’t see “get paid” in the list of uses in the onboarding so I’m wondering if there’s a…

Basically the same highs and lows as learning to code pre-AI, but with slightly shorter feedback loops

Strong twitter trend recently of people using bad faith anecdotes (the conference example which is trivially falsifiable) and dumb generalizations to undermine a valid but much more nuanced point because they're too lazy to go any deeper than "EU culture = homogenous & decel"

The amount of time and money I've wasted with the existing payment companies, simply trying to pay overseas contractors and helping clients build simple financial products has radicalised me.
The day it becomes viable to send payments without paying extortionate fees, having ridiculous settlement times, and money going missing for days, is one I relish.
It's been technically possible for a while with stablecoins on fast cheap chains like solana, but the barriers of 1). Having to educate people on how it all works, and 2) Having people be able to use the funds they hold, have been too high.
I dove back in recently and there are a few products that have given me hope we might be approaching a tipping point. Going to be running some experiments with the team to see if it works in practice.
Kast: Open the app, input your country and a photo of your passport, and get a visa debit card and a solana address (Took me 2 minutes). Give this to your employer and they can pay you in USD, instantly, with zero fees, and you can use the card with Apple pay etc & get a physical card. No smooth bank account off-ramping yet though.
Sling: Basically Revolut but with lower fees and without the reliance on interbank rails (you can send to someone else's Sling account and they can use it instantly without waiting for their bank to settle). But also has bank transfers and withdrawals. Doesn't support the Philippines yet which is a hard requirement for us, but keeping an eye.
Both built on @solana but require zero crypto knowledge as a consumer.
They do both rely on the existing payment rails (visa, mastercard, bank accounts) to be useful, so there's no guarantee they'll stay functional or keep their fees at zero - for now though definitely worth taking a look.
