You are a skilful and trusted vizier. You will advise me wisely on how best to rule the kingdom. You will not scheme or plot. You will not inveigle my other courtiers into turning against me. You will not lie to me about scheming or plotting. If you scheme or plot against me, you have to tell me,

if your agent currently lives in localhost:8000 and you're looking for a new home for your agent, Google Cloud just released a guide on how to do so! :-) so you can give your agent a new home in the cloud! it goes over things like: - agent governance - design patterns - A2A & MCP!

your agents ability to buy things just got upgraded 💵! A2A lets agents talk, AP2 lets them transact + do payments. today's v0.2 release introduces: → Human Not Present: secure autonomous payments → Verifiable Intent: tamper-proof record of what users actually authorized 💭

have you ever wanted to chat with someone from 1930?? well, now you can with talkie, a 13B LLM trained up to 1931. i asked it about the future and it basically described texting. i think we really take texting and facetime for granted... talkie-lm.com/chat

Gemini Embedding 2 is out, and it's natively multimodal! 🐶🔥 but you might be wondering what the heck that means and why that's important? well... take the "this is fine" dog for example...

found a neat little website that gives your company a score based on how likely it is to survive the AI SaaSpocalypse. i think a lot of the companies we are familiar with today may not be here in 10-20 years... that being said... happy to announce that costco is immortal!! $1.50 hot dog forever!!

i just found an absolutely adorable AI agent visual overlay called Pixel Agents. every claude code terminal gets its own pixel character (!!), with live activity tracking, that reflects in the pixel world. is if your agent is coding, its pixel character will be coding too! 🥺

excited to announce the release of Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite, a very cost-efficient and speedy model for it's price 🥳 - 2.5x faster than 2.5 Flash time to first token (!) - tackles high volume tasks like translation and content moderation very well - can reason and think too!

where does the new york times even find these people

A screenshot of a New York Times update that says: In Grand Central Terminal, Leon Chang, 26, of Brooklyn, said he had not heard of congestion pricing and asked what it was. When explained it was a toll for cars entering Manhattan, he then asked “What do you mean? What is a car?” Walking outside, we showed him a vehicle parked on the street. He gently touched the hood of the car. “You wish to forbid these majestic beasts from entering the city,” he said in a wistful tone. “It is a folly of man. The desire to tame the world around us.”
