The nice thing about this is that you can run agents in YOLO mode, but also instantly see/test changes from any containerized agent in your local environment.

We also let you fork agents from any point in your convo history to manage context, which unlocks a lot of interesting workflows!

If you're open to new tools, we made Sculptor (imbue.com/sculptor) for this workflow — it runs Claude agents in containers + rsyncs files/git state from their container to your local repo ("Pairing Mode"), so you don't have to make a repo copy or deal with worktrees.

E11 Bio is excited to unveil PRISM technology for mapping brain wiring with simple light microscopes. Today, brain mapping in humans and other mammals is bottlenecked by accurate neuron tracing. PRISM uses molecular ID codes and AI to help neurons trace themselves.

@danabra.mov If you do get to try Sculptor, I'm one of the founders and would love to hear what you think.

Thanks @drake.dev for mentioning us :) I'm sorry you're attached to the terminal! We've considered a CLI tool for launching tasks, would that help?

There’s a kind of death that’s necessary for life. We see it in no-self meditation experiences; in social change that only happens with the next generation; in relationship endings that change us.

In our world of great control & permanence, we often forget to let things die.

🙏 We need your help 🙏

The government continues to cancel grants at both NIH and NSF to censor science it doesn't like.

We're tracking terminations to organize and advocate. Please report your terminated grants:

Wow, to see this in 1995 is remarkable.

🤔 do you have any suggestions?

We need your help to make this vision a reality! We’re looking for testers to play with Sculptor during our research preview.

As a tester, you’ll get early access, free use for a limited time, and rad Imbue swag. Sign up here: tryimbue.link/dTogIGD

Empowering humans in the age of AI When we founded Imbue in 2021, we set out to build an AGI future where humans remain at the helm, shaping powerful AI systems rather than…

I'm really proud of the @imbue-ai.bsky.social team! We're a step closer to our vision of personal computing, where every person can shape their computational future: imbue.com/company/visi...

Write code in your editor, or use Sculptor agents to generate new code.

Run your custom checks automatically on any new code, so you can detect and fix the issues you care about as you work.

Define custom checks with LLM prompts, like "ensure error messages are informative” — or with commands like pytest, pylint, ruff, etc. — to flag issues according to your own specific preferences.

Run code to fix issues until all your checks pass.

Kick off as many fixes as you want, all in parallel. Sculptor runs your code in sandboxes, so you can test safely.

When you apply a fix, the code is synced to your local editor.

Sculptor works with all editors, whether @neovim.io / @emacs or Cursor / Windsurf.

When you connect Sculptor to your codebase, it checks for issues like missing tests, hardcoded variables, race conditions, etc.

Launch agents to fix the issues, and see the diff before applying.

We made a coding agent environment that helps you catch issues, write tests, and improve your code, all while working in your favorite editor :)

Hello world, Sculptor! imbue.com/product/scul...

(also interesting how I feel inclined to post a totally different non-marketing message on bsky vs X)

Interesting! Could you ever write an essay on whatever you wanted, vs. summarizing?

That sounds so lovely :)

Wow! Your teacher marked up a daily one pager? That sounds like a lot of commitment for 5 years.

Ideally, you turn in the whole iterative process, and the teacher coaches you around your thinking and process of iteration rather than judging the final outcome.

What if, instead of dealing with students turning in AI-written essays, the assignment was: use AI to critique your work and iteratively revise until issues are resolved—then turn THAT in?

That iterative process would have taught me way more than any single draft.

A governance system in which power is given away by design — in functioning democracies, power is subjugated to justice and self-determination. Power is also given away when we say “people will vote, and we as leaders will do whatever’s voted for”.

Just imported all my tweets using BlueArk (@en.blueark.app), and it was super easy, with archive backdates and everything :) this is how the Internet should work — interoperability!

Intellectualizing can be a sneaky way of protecting ourselves from feeling hurt — sneaky because it's socially rewarded. This hinders our growth, as it's hard to heal hurts without feeling through them.

I used to think authenticity was about saying whatever came to mind, avoiding wordsmithing that controls someone's reaction. But deep authenticity is about finding the right words — words that capture meaning so it can be heard by the other person.

At Imbue, Glenn works on prototyping tools that can empower every person to create, edit, and remix software.

Every Noise exemplifies the type of software that Glenn wants more people to be able to create: software that cultivates curiosity, fosters connection, and enables serendipitous discovery.

How can software be a “radically open” tool for curiosity, connection, and discovery?

YouTube video by Nonzero Human Agency vs "Agentic” AI | Robert Wright & Kanjun Qiu

Had a great time talking with @kanjun.bsky.social of @imbue-ai.bsky.social about how humans can preserve their agency as AI gets more and more "agentic". You can watch here or listen on the NonZero podcast.

By default, the powerful gain more power unless they’re purposeful in giving it away. The only other mechanism for redistributing power is revolution, or lawful coordination mechanisms for the less powerful.

Technology lets us move the world at the pace of our thoughts. But sometimes, it’s valuable to move our thoughts at the pace of the world.
