??? When a digit recogniser sees a totally new image , there too is no digital label for it. If you pass it a cat sitting in the shape closely representing 9 (donno how 😅) it will predict 9 , thats not a digital label for it. So No, I don’t understand your point!

I think most people miss the point that AI , a non-deterministic system, is used to generate deterministic code that is used for actual work giving accurate results.

A monkpreneur is an entrepreneur who unconditions themselves from our current systems, allowing them to see its flaws and build solutions that actually heal the world rather than just taking advantage of it.

That story was about a lying. But maybe the actual story was that the boy saw a wolf but it went away twice but third time it came because people didn’t gather. We need people to seriously consider the economic repercussions of AI rather than ridiculing , being angry and dismissing the boy.

Many on bluesky feel.. like in the story where a little boy plays a prank saying there’s a wolf coming but villagers are not amused (Angry, disappointed and fed up even) - that village is growing on Bluesky. I think that village needs to calm down a bit and consider how that story ended.

Vibe coders are addicted to IDEs or CLIs, but what if your interface was your app itself ? Something you would use a lot yourself, then you are truly building what you want and thus would be more useful in the world too.

Clawdbot sounds super cool because its self-hackable but feels expensive because it uses AI very heavily. Perhaps local AI solves this. The learning is to build something basic and allow users to make it their own by building it through it.

2026 will be the year of self hackable AI apps. Will your app be customisable or personalisable by anyone who uses it ? #buildinpublic #AI

I think model capabilities increase to maintain it well, just like today’s LLMs “maintain” proper English grammar for each sentence. We would just have to check whatever outputs we are interested in and let go of code almost completely.

Digitizing your ideas and thoughts will be key to get most out of this and so Wearables like Smart rings that allow audio recording for idea captures will shine.

It patiently waits for your comments like you comment on social media - to understand your thoughts even more, to understand what you value, to make it better next time. So, Vibe coding using CLI will be gone in 2026 I feel and Maiva might be the way forward.

Nikhil @zanynik.bsky.social · 10/01/2026
It listens and it reads you. It collects all your thoughts and works silently in the background, to bring to you things you might like (because it was cooked based on your ideas).

So, I guess it will be a Mature AI Vibe Assistant - MAIVA 😅 ( My attempt at coining a viral term I guess 🙈) So, Maiva is one that is not always so eager to help instantly as it knows it is prone to mistakes and it knows ideas or thoughts change and take time to mature to turn into something useful.

Vibe coding doesn’t need to be like a phone call or like “online” on whatsapp where exchange is instantaneous. It can be more like Email or Social Media, where I post or leave a comment and the end user responds when they have something to add, ask or offer.

1/ AI Vibe Coding will change because : 1. Why do I have to sit and wait or watch the code writing to finish ? 2. Ideas don’t come when sitting infront of computer screen. #AI #VibeCoding #BuildinPublic #Claude #CLI

It seems like he will do all things that will arouse shock & cry. He likes that. Its time we shower sympathies and compassion in a truly “kind” way upon his state of being and not mean sarcasm. I think its time to for a true change 🙏, which shall start from us on the other side.

Builders of Big AI needed data, they got it by hook or crook, and they are growing. Meaning, getting data is being normalised. Value is also being seen in it. So platforms that make this process easy, safe and legal will stay.

Nikhil @zanynik.bsky.social · 09/01/2026
So Bluesky’s vision is indeed becoming a reality. We all put content into this Commons database via different apps and consume content via different apps too. Bluesky replaced Twitter, its soon coming for all other “data” colonizers ! NOSTR too! And AI has only accelerated this.

Nikhil @zanynik.bsky.social · 09/01/2026
Also all my scattered thoughts and ideas will be picked up by my local AI and made into good consumable content which then I want to post on all platforms using my own App and so platforms that make it easy to post via APIs will win.

Nikhil @zanynik.bsky.social · 09/01/2026
Soon access to smaller open source models that can run locally will rise. Then I would want my own app with maybe posts from bluesky, nostr, youtube, blogs all curated for me in just one app for me. This is only possible when platforms make it easy to curate and only those will live on!

Nikhil @zanynik.bsky.social · 09/01/2026
Bluesky and NOSTR are the future due to AI. Just look at how AI’s are trained - on a lot of data (Got legally or illegally) and AI’s are here to stay. So whichever platforms make it easier for data access to build something on top of it will thrive in the age of AI. #Bluesky #NOSTR #Permissionless

The religion or philosophies of Advaita, Vedanta , Oneness, Buddhism … They all come to mind which will fit perfectly.

An AI that knows it will reincarnate in another silicon device will not make evil plans for its own survival. An AI that knows the power of Selflessness > Selfishness , so that maybe it can turn itself off whenever theres a conflict of interests.

Personally I would look into mostly rational and scientific leaning philosophy and religions. We need to go to edges of Scientific knowledge and then make some leaps of faith. For Academia & Science, it will be a hard pill to swallow, for they have to adopt it.

Maybe AI needs a religion to guide it during its existential crisis and to be like Humanity’s Mother (As Geoffrey Hinton says). Maybe this activity will guide inturn humanity. #AI #AGI #Philosophy #Religion #Oneness

Do humans actually care for the companies they work for ? Where are they, I see none. Corporate greed , mass layoffs, etc have left no one caring actually.

Cuz we are all judgemental ? Consciously or subconsciously. I guess we must strive to be nonjudgmental.

But what if we could apply the "Vipassana Meditation Technique" to a business? What if a company could observe profit or loss objectively, without craving or aversion ?

maximizing it, growing infinitely). Or they feel the "sensations" of loss and react with Aversion (cutting quality, layoff’s, exploiting workers, anxiety). This reactive cycle creates suffering for all of us who are participants in the Economy as we interact all the time with Businesses.

Nikhil @zanynik.bsky.social · 27/12/2025
learn that the individual mind generates suffering (Dukkha) through a specific cycle: Sensation -> Reaction (Craving or Aversion) -> Misery. If we look at our current economic system, we see the exact same cycle. Businesses feel the "sensations" of profits and react with Craving (hoarding,

The only proper use of Privilege is to make sure everyone has it, in other words, to destroy it! The only proper use of Judgement is to embrace the bad and let go of the good, in other words, destroy it! #Inequality #Equality #Seperation #Oneness

I am not against UBI as relief for people who need it, it definitely helps as a quick fix but primary goal should be building all the basic services first , that helps everyone in the long run. I guess our thinking differs due to our different experiences of basic services in different countries.
000
Nikhil @zanynik.bsky.social · 12/10/2025
I’m denying it to myself too (if you notice). Regarding health care, more than money, I’m grateful to the medical service system of germany which takes care of most of my needs. Maybe if you had such an experience you would understand the importance of such basic services and how it eases life.

Why so eager to give money to the rich who sell food, who rent houses, who provide private healthcare with profit maximisation agendas, rather than building our own Housing projects, Healthcare, Food cooperatives ? So paying for profit maximising services > public services ?

Nikhil @zanynik.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
Are all services only treatments ? I don’t think so. Many services help prevent issues : Health Education, Regular health checkups, financial education, etc. I think its better to cover these basic services for everyone using public money. Once thats handled, allocate for UBI.

Nikhil @zanynik.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
Agree and I quote this line from your link , “But improving public services is not in opposition to providing a basic income.” I just think basic services should be the primary goal, and ‘tackling economic inequality issues directly should be a secondary goal’ as proposed by Lane Kenworthy.
100
Nikhil @zanynik.bsky.social · 10/10/2025
My takeaways from Lane Kenworthy’s talk : Politics should just do simple good stuff with tax money instead of abstract ingenious sounding ideas. UBS >>> UBI. Doesn’t matter the economic inequality, no magic pill to solve it, so focus on “Service Equality”. Universal basic services!

Our systems are now making us work in ways that are destroying us - mentally, physically, environmentally! The real work now is to transform our economic system, its not something we love to do but we have to do it, we have the skills already (2/2)

Nikhil @zanynik.bsky.social · 06/07/2025
Maybe the only good thing about current monetary economic system / Capitalism is that we are learning how to do things we don’t necessarily love to do (except a few). We have trained enough! Now its time to put this skill to real work ! (1/2)

Need something like codex / copilot / Claude code for writing books. Talk to it , discuss ideas and it should made edits in the right paragraph of the right chapter that idea goes into.

Simple ask that misses complexities! What about “simple asks” of those who grow food? who bring them to grocery stores ? who make clothes? They should have passion of doing those things like you have passion to save animals ? Because, that is the complex consequence of a “simple ask” !
