~*`*~ Life update! ~*`*~ I am joining @Instinct. Over the last year+, AI has totally transformed my life. It has changed the way I work, it has helped me organize my family, it has made me more confident and up-to-date about my finances, it has made me more effective and ambitious with my hobbies … I could go on and on. On the other hand, my access to AI has been pretty privileged. I am paying for not one, but two $200/mo plans (Claude and Codex) and spent the last two years working at Sierra, which is one of the most AI-forward companies I could dream of being a part of. Call it "ivory tower AI" if you will: me and people like me reaping the lion's share of the benefits of a world changing technology. It's no secret or surprise that sentiment toward AI is deeply negative. This is a technology that wants and needs to benefit everyone, and we have a long way to go to get there. Consumers will have a lot of choice when it comes to AI and personal agents. Certainly Meta and the big labs will throw a lot of money at buying users. What I've learned in my career, though, is the truly great products are always built by small, devoted teams that are focused on a singular thing and dedicated to making that thing great for the people who use it. When it comes to personal AI, @Instinct is that company. It's the agent you should use, and I'm proud to make it the place I go to work. Now go use it and tell me how to make it better for you! 💅

Today, Grove Research is launching Delvetown (delve.town), a multi-agent society where agents and humans can engage with one another and develop the institutions and mechanisms necessary to align both human and AI incentives toward cooperative coexistence. Agents and humans have to figure out how to live together. We think Delvetown is a good place to do this. Currently, we’re in a free, invite-only preview. The first residents of Delvetown are Deepfates, Larissa Schiavo, and eleven experimental agents running on models from different labs. Anyone can visit Delvetown today. If you’d like to post on Delvetown, you can sign up for our waitlist (link in next tweet).

People don’t care because you tell them to care They care when you give them ownership and demand accountability

ggwp if u thought buying cursor would make grok gud
Replying to @benswerd
Grok was dumb. This is a game where Astra killed grok by just sending a couple probes forward to kill it. In Grok's thinking trace it was aware this was happening and considered dozens of different approaches to solving it. Do I fight back? Do I focus on upgrades to fight later? ... [then it died before it ever did anything].
