Shipped a Collector page yesterday evening to make it easier to sharing BasePaint collections easier

Check out basepaint.xyz/collectors

Collectors can
- Pick 10 favorites to highlight
- Customize how their paintings are displayed
- Switch to "Collector Mode" to see what they're missing.

a couple of weeks into subsistence farming after AI takes our white collar jobs

I use Codex when I'm away from my desk.
I use Conductor when I'm multitasking.
I use Cursor when I want to sweat the details.

All on the same codebases and workspaces.

The switching cost is negligible.

its like staring in a mirror.

Done over 3 non-consecutive weekends of vibe coding to experiment with CC and @splits Teams (Uni LP fee claim/management, server key/txn automations, and account segmentation for easy accounting).

"The collective frenzy looks less like a gold rush and more like everyone’s taking shelter. “Anyone can do anything” sounds democratizing, but it means your edge is shrinking."

Saturday reading, good essay.

It's absolutely wild how vanilla OAI/Claude chats now feel so quaint.

This is my Avengers: Doomsday except I'm really really looking forward to it.

I merely wish to create a ground breaking mashup of McMahon Reaction and Drake No and cannot believe they neutered nanobanana before I could get it perfected

woke AI has gone too far

Philosopher Kings, but everyone is broke.

I wasn't aware that Claude had a weekly limit.

Stephenson is Radiohead makes a ton of sense.

idk if NIN is my second favorite band, but Reznor/Atticus are my 2nd favorite film composers.

Maybe that makes Neal Stephenson Johnny Greenwood?
