I think we underestimate what a Falbe 5 class Agentic LLM coordinating worldwide cross-LLM agentic processes could achieve.
I SUSPECT this is what will end up reaching AGI, not one model at one company, an inter-model coordinated agentic *intelligence*.

Ah diabetes...middle of a chat with a vc and my brain starts glitching...

Essentially you control both sides of the narrative, fund far left and far right and set the middle against itself.
A destabilised country is easy to control and buy influence.
In your DREAMS you make a *current US* stule kpetocracy. Where the rule of law for the rich and powerful just evaporates. Rapists adn 34 times felons get elected President while mionrities get blamed and victimised to distract and manipulate.

They make a race war to prevent us considering class war.

I watch Hypernormalisation by Adam Curtis every so often. Was made a decade ago but MAN does it feel like some Nostradamus level shit with the modern AI slop world. Media and disinformation as control...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gr7T07WfIhM (BBC Documentary) he covered it all in detail a DECADE AGO.

Man I wish I could just work on StyloBot (and other products), get a livable income and that would be the rest of my life.
Would be GLORIOUS.

Just CONSTANT anxiety about finance is such and annoyance; yes I'm still super lucky, I'll not become homeless / starve.

My standards are IMPOSSIBLY high even for myself. I just need to bite the bullet and accept MINOR (like Sev3 Lev3!)) bugs to ship these pieces.

I have one of my final customers late paying; not because of any good reason just the CTO who is my contact only uses Slack so I know my email is going through his dumb-ass email AI and he's ignoring it.

So now whether I can get StyloBot to commercial status depends on one guy taking two seconds to read an email & pay an invoice.

Remind me again why I retired from freelancing?

I do the work you pay the invoice. It's NOT THAT COMPLICATED.

The #curl project will not accept or otherwise handle any vulnerability reports during the month of July 2026. We call it the curl summer of bliss.

Working on a slide deck. Been a WHILE (using Keynote, think I'll convert to Powerpoint...but Powerpoint is a PTSD machine for me :))

Oh and I like my new social card more. The $100 was so off-putting. It's FREE...but you can help pay me to work on it later when I add commercial features 🤓

@Mastodon is a super interesting problem for 'verified good' bot verification (as I try in StyloBot; not some central authority).
The UAs specify instance names BUT there's no centralised list of verified ones...The Jpin Mastodon server list is as close as you get byt even then...
So you have do do initial match then behavioural verification to check it REALLY IS a Mastodon instance.
TRICKY BUSINESS

Anyone know of a verified list? A social media pack is planned (block X, not Mastodon for instance) but need more data to get that feature completable.

GAH seeing non-technical people buy the UK government's 'think of the children' authoritarian control of the Internet is INFURATING.
We're handignt hem the single most intrusuve surveillance capability EVER CREATED...starts with Digital ID, ends with government controlled AI monitoring *everyone's* phone for prohibited content.

BECAUSE OF COURSE IT DOES.

FUCKING IDIOTS.

Morning All! Presentation on Wednesday; balancing getting that fully formed and getting StyloBot 7.5 released.
Last week was all the 'adding stuff' this week is reviewing, testing and integrating.
SLOG....like 20 hours a day every day.

Long weekend of StyloBotting https://aspnet-staging.stylobot.net/
New demo site for the middleware & tag helpers (so I dogfood them live).
And staging is updated significantly. https://staging.stylobot.net/

My current weather prediction system is whether the Cat brings in a mouse before we head to bed. If he DOES it's going to be cold & windy overnight if not dry and a nice morning.
He likes to stay entertained so he brings in his objects of destruction to ensure he remains so.

When perfection is a cheap, disposable commodity it's imperfection that has value.

The swing back to authentic human creation is interesting.

Of COURSE @GreatDismal was all over that concept over 30 years ago in Idoru.

"I like your computer," she said. "It looks like it was made by Indians or something."
Chia looked down at her sandbenders. Turned off the red switch. "Coral," she said. "These are turquoise. The ones that look like ivory are the inside of a kind of nut. Renewable."

"The rest is silver?"

"Aluminum," Chia said. "They melt old cans they dig up on the beach cast it in sand molds. These panels are micarta. That's linen with this resin in it."

That the REAL flex will be something hand made, showing it's HUMAN TRACES.
As the world survives on AI slop, the human experience will be the true luxury.

LOL @ People saying Scottish fans shouldn't be so happy because we'll lose. THAT'S WHY WE'RE SO HAPPY.
Our fans go for a great time wherever they are; the football is just the excuse.

Have a local DoomSummarizer knolwedgebase variant which is gathering competitive intelligence on anti-bot protection techniques.
Then I fold it into gap analysis every few days.
Stealth Browsers, Android VM runners etc...I run them, profile them and develop defences (more commonly I catch them anyway and just use it to label them).

Seems to work well. HOPEFULLY I get to do the stylobot community stuff. Requires paying customers to fund though. That way StyloBot can self update with the latest anonymous fingerprints the community shares. The trust model. is tricky but I think I have it solved.
🤓

My Nephew is part of the Tartan Army in Boston now for the world cup. It's a matter of national pride that this bunch of fans is just good natured and fun loving.
