Agent Psychosis: Are We Going Insane? What’s going on with the AI builder community right now?

I ran out of characters, here's a link to the blog post: lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/1/18/ag...

Just read @mitsuhiko.at 's blog on Agent Psychosis, loved the analogy to Pullman's daemons, and it got me thinking. The obv difference is that Pullman's inventions are a manifestation of the deeper self, whereas agents are not; this might be where some of the issues Armin describes originate from.

padding on suits, moving towards the wearer providing shape as opposed to the garment. I may be misinterpreting, but I attribute a much more garment-based silhouette (via padding, when discussing suits and jackets) to you.

a q for @dieworkwear.bsky.social

(1/3) I've been digging more into fashion, largely due to your writing. Reading through a lot of what's been said about Armani after his death, I've been thinking that iiuc, your pov seems to run counter to a lot of what he did; people talk about how he pulled out

isn't it even worse than that? it looks like entities lower on the threat totem pole were also able to leverage First Wap. do we need to be heading further and either getting faraday cages or simply not traveling everywhere with a phone?

gotta keep em separated

No! There are no tears. No rain. Only LLM. LLM everywhere. Everything is LLM. We used to have tears and rain, but them the LLM consumed them, and now everything is LLM.

There's got to be good inflation joke with pizza here, but I'm missing it

Does anyone have a suggestion on running a Mattermost instance without hassle?

I was originally aiming for Slack, but screw the AI rollout. That said, I don’t want to fuck around with proxies, ssl, etc. Yes, I can do it, but life’s too short for it.

The SaaS offers seem shady :/

they told me you were a funny account, but this is plain facts

why did you pick food as the first and foremost? shouldn't the same be true for clothing, news/information/data, and a bunch of other things?

Honest q - do we believe that they were actually respecting the privacy of those who selected the option up until now?

I would have assumed not, but am not familiar with details.

This is such a huge long shot, but I don’t care:

if you ever worked for the Federal Reserve or know someone who has and might be willing to chat on the record with us on Crypto Critics’ Corner about Fed independence and if it appears to be in danger, please reach out.

My DMs are open.

idk, the tech is very significant already imho, just most ppl don't have something that forces them to realize it. As for the crime, it hasn't fully attracted law enforcement's attn yet either. If stealing/defrauding onchain carried similar risks to trad, less ppl would do it.

imho
