ChatGPT Codex: The Missing Manual

Latent Space

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. ChatGPT Codex isn't just another coding assistant; it's a leap towards autonomous software engineering agents. Success hinges on a new collaborative mindset and preparing codebases for AI interaction.
  2. Delegate, Don't Micromanage: Leverage ChatGPT Codex's ability to run multiple (even 60/hour) long-running tasks in parallel. Think abundance, not scarcity of compute.
  3. Structure for Success: Implement agents.md, linters, and modular architecture. This isn't just good practice; it’s crucial for AI agent performance.

The Next Big Trade Is Hiding In Plain Sight | Citrini

Forward Guidance

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Fiscal Focus: Anticipate a narrative shift from trade wars to tax cuts and deregulation, with significant government spending directed towards defense and areas where the U.S. lags China.
  2. Robotics Rising: The robotics sector offers a compelling investment case, buying secular growth at cyclical lows, especially as the automotive cycle bottoms and AI seeks real-world applications.
  3. Strategic Positioning: Consider a "barbell" approach in robotics: US companies for AI software and "brains," while acknowledging China's lead in cost-effective hardware, potentially through imports if tariffs allow.

Crypto + AI Is Exploding — But What’s Real vs Hype? Top VCs Spill All.

The People's AI

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Prioritize Problem-Solving: Crypto must offer tangible solutions to AI's limitations (e.g., bootstrapping costs, agent payments, data sourcing) rather than being a superficial addition.
  2. Demand Agent Utility: AI agents need a clear purpose for tokenization; speculative hype won't cut it. Verifiable, composable agent systems for complex tasks are the goal.
  3. Bet on Data & Modularity: Decentralized, high-quality data aggregation (e.g., Vanna) and modular, interoperable AI systems represent the most promising paths to disruptive innovation.

Why AI Must Stay Neutral: Infrastructure vs. Revenue Curve

The Rollup

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Neutrality is Non-Negotiable: Foundational AI must be credibly neutral and non-exclusive, acting as open infrastructure for everyone.
  2. Shun the Revenue Siren: Embedding profit motives into core AI infrastructure risks a Faustian bargain, leading down Vitalik's "revenue evil curve" and compromising openness, as seen with Stable Diffusion's licensing shift.
  3. Open Base, Specialized Bloom: A transparent, neutral AI foundation is the launchpad for a global explosion of compact, specialized AI applications that can address diverse, critical needs.
