simbleau··on Elon Musk Made Off with $16B of Taxpayer Money
Earning 16B through his companies' SpaceX contracts with the government is not the same as stealing taxpayer money, which this article's title frames. I understand the news likes to distort and blur lines, but this misrepresentation feels egregious. I am not defending Elon as an individual, but rather saying we need a higher bar for "news" in general.
simbleau··on Blog: AI is in its Homelab era
A bit late to post, but wanted to discuss with others your opinions on where AI is going as costs change. Interestingly, the personal managers I talked about in this post have already started to take form. Since this post, OpenAI's Dots and Meta's Muse have been released.
simbleau··on I’m joining OpenAI
I think they want the man and ideas behind the most useful AI tool thus far. Surprisingly, and OpenAI may see this - it is a developer tool.

OpenAI needs a popular consumer tool. Until my elderly mother is asking me how to install an AI assistant like OpenClaw, the same way she was asking me how to invest in the "new blockchains" a few years ago, we have not come close to market saturation.

OpenAI knows the market exists, but they need to educate the market. What they need is to turn OpenClaw into a project that my mother can use easily.

simbleau··on Why I don't think AGI is imminent
AGI is a messy term, so to be concise, we have the models that can do work. What we lack is orchestration, management, and workflows to use models effectively. Give it 5 years and those will be built and they could be built using the models we have today (Opus 4.6 at the time of this message).
simbleau··on Magnus Carlsen Wins the Freestyle (Chess960) World Championship
Is there really a decline with age when it comes to chess? I’m not sure he will really decline until he reaches his retirement age.
simbleau··on Show HN: Klaw.sh – Kubernetes for AI agents
I don’t quite get what makes it Kubernetes for AI agents. Is the idea to pool hardware together to distribute AI agents tasking? Is the idea to sandbox agents in a safe runtime with configuration management? Is the idea something else entirely? Both? I couldn’t figure it out by the README alone.
simbleau··on CISA’s acting head uploaded sensitive files into public version of ChatGPT
It’s absolutely necessary to have ChatGPT.com blocked from ITAR/EAR regulated organizations, such as aerospace, defense, etc. I’m really shocked this wasn’t already the case.
simbleau··on There is an AI code review bubble
After testing several bots in our org, specifically Devin, Graphite, and Cursor, I’ve noticed Cursor is the better bug bot out there right now.
simbleau··on Claude Code On-the-Go
Awesome. This really sounds like it would fit into my life, too. For once I really hope someone can productionalize this pattern into a platform with tooling, and pay for only what it needed. As it stands this feels expensive, even if it the price of coffee.
