agentifysh··on AI is destroying open source, and it's not even good yet [video]
Often I see youtube videos that sells an overwhelmingly negative take on AI, like "OpenAI" fails 93% of Jobs or "AI is destroying the world" and other weirdly outlandish titles that is clearly aimed at clickbait.

Watching these content I often get confused because it never seems to highlight the actual real world progress and use that LLMs in particular gets for coding.

Much of what was "vibe coding" is becoming just coding now. This means for open source, we are no longer relying on companies that create "opencore" products that nerf/neglect the public version so they can sell their cloud product. We don't have to worry about a maintainer going AWOL on some Clojure or Elixir library and fret about hiring someone who has "20 years of experience". We don't need to pay for a lot of expensive enterprise SaaS tools that charge six digits when we can simply use LLM to internalize existing packages and even create our own.

Those that have been using coding agents for the past 6 month know how much progress there have been and the sheer pace of it to know that we are about to turn the corner, especially as new forms of computing are in the pipelines that will scale even faster without incurring more energy, moving away from text token gen to something else that humans can't read etc.

While it's important to watch different takes, I think someone who consumes only Youtube and these videos that the algorithm is designed to push is going to be shocked and left behind because by the time these videos are produced, things have already progressed or in state of change. All in all, these videos should be treated like ephemeral commentary that ultimately loses their relevance due to the sheer speed of how things are changing.

agentifysh··on Writing code is cheap now
I see lot of comments downplaying the significance of this but other than very large and/or mission critical infrastructure roles, your "taste and experience" is going to become cheap just like code.

Currently there is this notion that white collar workers and artists still have which is that they bring "taste" too to the experience but eventually AI will come for those as well, may or may not be LLM, and not sure about timelines.

Even as we speak, when I read through HN comments, I always ask : "Did an AI write this" or did someone use AI to help write their response. This goes beyond HN but any photo or drawing or music I hear now I ask the same question but eventually nobody will care because we are climbing out of uncanny valley very quickly.

agentifysh··on Google restricting Google AI Pro/Ultra subscribers for using OpenClaw
so far i've been able to use gemini pro just fine from codex cli using my web session mcp bridge: https://github.com/agentify-sh/desktop

it seems like the main problem with OpenCode and OpenClaw is that they call the API directly bypassing the website

my approach is browser automation, its technically against the ToS too but there's default mechanisms to avoid unintentional mass spam.

I think what pissed off Google and Anthropic was that people were running through multiple accounts from OpenCode and ruined it for everybody else

agentifysh··on South Korean ex president Yoon Suk Yeol jailed for life for leading insurrection
Just wanted to add some context on this in case someone reads this thread down the road. I know many doctors from Korea, and their take on it was that Yoon's populist policy to increase caps on medical students wouldn't fix the actual issue at hand, which is that nobody wants to work in a low-paid, highly stressful environment. Unfortunately, those happen to be the exact fields of medicine that are lacking in doctors.

In fact, what they warned would happen is that it would just increase the number of new graduates heading towards highly lucrative, unregulated medical fields like dermatology and cosmetic surgery, and would only exacerbate the gaps in essential areas like pediatrics, OB/GYN, and emergency medicine, which face real shortages.

The root of the problem is twofold: First, South Korea's National Health Insurance heavily regulates and caps the prices for essential and lifesaving care, sometimes setting reimbursement rates so low that hospitals lose money on them. Meanwhile, non essential aesthetic procedures have no price caps.

Second, South Korea has an unusually high rate of prosecuting doctors criminally for medical malpractice. Doctors in high stakes environments like the ER or surgery face massive legal risks and the threat of actual prison time for unavoidable bad outcomes. Conversely, opening a skin clinic carries almost zero legal risk, no night shifts, and much higher pay.

The doctors' frustration was that Yoon's policy relied on a trickle down theory of medicine, the idea that if you simply flood the market by increasing the quota by a massive 65% overnight, the overflow of graduates will eventually be desperate enough to take the punishing essential jobs. While the medical association's optics and PR were undeniably terrible, their core grievance was that Yoon's draconian approach was a political bandaid that completely ignored the structural rot driving doctors away from saving lives in the first place

You are purposely taking words out of context.

I'm not disagreeing with the timeline here, but the moment of breaking into an armory, handing out thousands of military grade weapons to civilians and engaging in active organized firefights fundamentally transforms a situation from a "protest" into a full-scale armed conflict.

To pretend otherwise ignores the exceptionally detailed historical record regarding the sheer level of armed action that took place. This wasn't just a crowd shouting and throwing molotov cocktails.

The citizen militia systematically raided police stations, military reserve armories in surrounding towns. They commandeered hundreds of armored personel carriers, military trucks, and jeeps to use in combat.

The citizen militia armed themselves with several thousands of M1 Garands, carbines, M16s and light machine guns with thousands of rounds of live ammunition and gernades. They even secured somewhere around like 8 tons of TNT and dynamite from local coal mines, which explosives experts among the citizens used to rig the basement of the provincial capital building which served as the headquarter for the militia.

This resulted in intense, organized urban warfare. The militia was heavily armed enough to engage in massive gun battles and physically drive the martial law troops out of downtown Gwangju for several days. In the ensuing combat, official records show 22 soldiers and 4 police officers were killed, alongside over 250 state forces wounded. Even accounting for the soldiers killed by friendly fire in the chaos, the armed citizens actively engaged, shot, and killed military personnel.

We can acknowledge that the Korean military committed atrocities AND that what followed was a highly organized, massive urban warfare between a heavily armed well organized citizens militia and the army. The two facts need not be mutually exclusive. Pointing out the severe reality of the heavy weapons used, the scale of the combat, and the casualties inflicted on both sides is what makes this complex. I'm shining a light on the complicated historical reality of how massive and violent this conflict was as an outsider looking in. I understand you are Korean and I understand this might invoke an emotionally charged take from your part.

agentifysh··on South Korean ex president Yoon Suk Yeol jailed for life for leading insurrection
> The important context is that these two presidents were Chun Doo-hwan and his successor Roh Tae-Woo, who led the military coup of December 12th (1979), seizing power, and then sending paratroopers to murder hundreds of civilians to quash public protest in the uprising of Gwangju (1980).

I think your comment here is very emotionally charged here but to clarify to outsiders reading, those protestors also broke into an military armory, armed themselves to the teeth, and an armed conflict broke out. It's still not clear as to who fired the first shot and by all definitions can be viewed as armed insurrection not a mere "public protest".

Also during this time protests were spreading not just in Gwangju but in other large cities. The Gwangju incident is still a very contested and heavily debated historical event one that has been constantly politically weaponized to silence opposition.

> So mock their later pardons if you want to, but you can't deny it marked an important and necessary step in Korea's history. It also shows sending your ex-presidents to prison only to pardon them later is still better than not bothering with it at all.

I am mocking South Korea's political arena because pardoning Presidents after charging them with treason/corruption/insurrection only reinforces that laws are selectively applied and some are still above its law and constitution. Better would've been to refrain from the tit for tat kangaroo courts altogether to placate whatever direction the country's leaning towards in that election cycle.

> Also, the "obvious reason" that American politics sent zero ex-presidents to prison is that Biden chickened out. So, there's that.

Post-watergate scandal, it was President Ford that stated going after Nixon would bottleneck national interest decision making with partisan legal/political factionalism , something that South Korea has become today and it will not stop.

will it bring back the de minimis exemption for Canadian exporters? Have a friend who's ebay business has been destroyed.
agentifysh··on Trump's global tariffs struck down by US Supreme Court
Doesn't seem like the market has priced the implication of this yet?

All in all, this seems like a major major blow to Trump. I'm more impressed that United State's laws are capable of gate keeping the president like this and despite people like Dalio dooming it up, it makes me more confident in America ironically.

agentifysh··on Facebook is cooked
One theory I have for the degradation of facebook and just internet content/discussion/comments in general in the past 25 years have been the rapid change in the cultural demographic of global internet users.

late 90s to early 2000s, only highly developed economies made up most of the internet but as more emerging markets joined the ranks, they ultimately surpassed those that reached peak internet penetration much earlier.

A lot of these new dominant markets also happen to speak English well enough and in far greater numbers and with it carries the cultural/taste shifts.

Without naming specific countries, few social networks are eclipsed by just a few countries that joined the internet much later than the Western hemisphere (+non-English speaking developed economies).

Cultural norms, values, habits permeate through the internet simply put and the social media platforms are incentivized to reflect it even if the $/country is not aligned but through the sheer power of number and the increasingly unhealthy attachments to what is largely just an ephemeral digital number in a database inside air conditioned facility while the users complain about the heat.

agentifysh··on Productivity gains from AI coding assistants haven’t budged past 10% – survey
I read this article as the CTO being the bottleneck if he's only seeing 10% productivity boost at his organization.

I dont think this is a purely AI problem more with the legacy costs of maintaining many minds that can't be solved by just giving people AI tools until the AI comes for the CTO role (but not CEO or revenue generating roles) too and whichever manager is bottlenecking.

I imagine a future where we have Nasdaq listed companies run by just a dozen people with AI agents running and talking to each other so fast that text becomes a bottleneck and they need another medium that can only be understood by an AI that will hold humans hand

This shift would also be reflected by new hardware shifts...perhaps photonic chips or anything that lets AI scale up crazy without the energy cost....

Exciting times are ahead AI but it's also accelerating digital UBI....could be good and bad.

agentifysh··on Gemini 3.1 Pro
Looks like its cheaper than codex ??? this might be interesting then
agentifysh··on Gemini 3.1 Pro
Relieved to read this from an ex-Googler at least we are no the crazy ones we are made out to be whenever we point out issues with Gemini
agentifysh··on Gemini 3.1 Pro
My enthusiasm is a bit muted this cycle because I've been burned by Gemini CLI. These models are very capable but Gemini CLI just doesn't seem to be able to work for one it never follows instructions strictly like its competitors do, and it hallucinates even which is a rarity.

More importantly feels like Google is stretched thin across different Gemini products and pricing reflects this, I still have no idea how to pay for Gemini CLI, in codex/claude its very simple $20/month for entry and $200/month for ton of weekly usage.

I hope whoever is reading this from Google they can redeem Gemini CLI by focusing on being competitive instead of making it look pretty (that seems to be the impression I got from the updates on X)

agentifysh··on South Korean ex president Yoon Suk Yeol jailed for life for leading insurrection
He'll be pardoned and released by the next election cycle, remember 2 presidents were even sentenced to death at one point.

I'm reading the comments here and surprised by the lack of depth of assessing Korea's history of prosecuting its presidents and most of you are just regurgitating what's reported in mainstream news that is echoed by Korean mainstream news which cannot give you a neutral impartial view on the situation.

Two Korean presidents were sentenced to death and were pardoned in the 90s. another two Korean presidents were jailed for decades and were released after a few years. All of this is just a quick pandering to voters for whichever side gets hold and I am willing to wager that the current and last President will also see the insides of a jail cell.

I point that democracies like American politics even when it gets ugly to the point do not engage in such tit for tat against the President to the point of sending them to jail, for obvious reasons.

agentifysh··on Step 3.5 Flash – Open-source foundation model, supports deep reasoning at speed
what country is behind this one ?
agentifysh··on Anthropic officially bans using subscription auth for third party use
I wrote a mcp bridge so that I don't have to copy and paste prompt back and forth between CLI and claude, chatgpt, grok, gemini

https://github.com/agentify-sh/desktop

Does this mean I have to remove claude now and go back to copy & pasting prompts for a subscription I am paying for ?!

wth happened to fair use ?

agentifysh··on 27-year-old Apple iBooks can connect to Wi-Fi and download official updates
im quite fond of apple hardware aesthetics as well as the aqua look from this period especially the first imac g3 and ibook , just a nice warm fuzzy feelings from childhood from when things were a lot more simple.

agentifysh··on Zero-day CSS: CVE-2026-2441 exists in the wild
this is insane! what other zero days are out there and being used

also this seems chromium only so it doesnt impact firefox ?

agentifysh··on The only moat left is money?
This seems overly pessimistic

As scalability becomes more accessible like with coding agents

The less it becomes about money but distribution

While money can buy you the latter it may not compound to something that is sustainable

agentifysh··on Skip is now free and open source
What?! Flutter is literally a game engine, its faster than native even on older phones and pretty much most of the issues you are talking about is old news lol
agentifysh··on Skip is now free and open source
Flutter is essentially a game engine so it bypasses the typical cycles involved with native widgets and there are several different ways why Flutter works well on lower end phones

agentifysh··on PicoPCMCIA – a PCMCIA development board for retro-computing enthusiasts
tangent but inspired by this: what about a retro-console development board? like saturn or playstation, would that be hard to do?

obviously this is way over my head, would be great if LLMs can help noobs

agentifysh··on Skip is now free and open source
This is a welcome addition but why should Flutter devs use this ?

Seems like it requires 32gb of ram! Also Flutter is already very mature and can produce not only near-native mobile apps (the difference is almost negligible) but can target desktop and even web applications.

I do wonder how much of a boost skip offers vs Flutter's mobile apps. Will give skip a try when dram prices normalize.
