@MichaelStolarzSomeone’s gotta start the evolution process, might as well be me, even though it will take millions(?) of years before it naturally takes effect
I volunteer as tribute

Yes!! Flickering emissive screens are entirely alien objects to our biology, acting as hypnotizing portals for our awareness, the foundation on which disembodied dissociation into the digital can occur. Paper-like screens on the other hand are continuous with our environment. T… Less

Flickering emissive screens are entirely alien objects to our biology, acting as hypnotizing portals for our awareness, the foundation on which disembodied dissociation into the digital can occur. Paper-like screens on the other hand are continuous with our environment. They let us to stay in our bodies, breathe easy, let the mind wander. It’s a much more species-appropriate and humane way of computing.
@MichaelStolarzThis is why you never make it yourself and buy only from people with a higher net worth than you/old money is best They have oak walnut mahogany whateverthefuck that was built in 7,000 BC and still looks amazing You could blow an Aztec death whistle in one of the rooms and you … Less

You could blow an Aztec death whistle in one of the rooms and you couldn’t hear it in the next with how thick the walls are
@leamaric
Here’s your 2.7M new build, enjoy :)
@MichaelStolarzOne of the most important daily questions you should ask yourself,
goose = 0?
Every. Single. Day.
@MichaelStolarzme still being forced to use gpt 5.5 xhigh on default speed mode while others have had gpt 5.6 sol ultra at 750tps
@MichaelStolarzSo going to @Target is officially over, nothing but Amazon/online from now on, literally sitting here for 30 minutes waiting for someone to give me a cup for my wife that she wants
Hit the buttons, talked with security, store near empty lol
What a joke, short Target for sure
@MichaelStolarzblessed day
- gpt 5.6 sol right around the corner
- i finally understand the agentic power of git worktrees
@MichaelStolarzabsolutely insane
better than mythos by a large margin,
up to 750 toks
@MichaelStolarzthe days of us using gpt 5.5 and gpt 5.6 being the best model internal openai/gov are using are pretty much over
by the time you see gpt 6, they'll be on gpt 10
@chris_j_paxton
The best AI systems being closed off and restricted to just a handful of elites, is basically my worst case AI doom scenario. I really hope the z ai guys werent kidding about open source fable/mythos soon x.com/amir/status/20…
@MichaelStolarzgoose value
0?
@edzitron
SoftBank’s investor presentation is one of the greatest things ever made. I’ve been thinking about it all day. These are the real slides shown in a speech where Masayoshi Son said he wouldn’t retire for at least another decade. The goose stuff is perfect. group.softbank/media/Project/…
@MichaelStolarzthis makes me sleep better at night re. looking forward to the future. good to know there's such an easy switch to turn on (or off!) for people to realize their hatred for data centers is misguided
@jiratickets
@MichaelStolarzplain-text files run more of my day than dashboards do.
AGENTS.md
skills
prompts
checklists
queue rules
review instructions
small files. boring syntax. large effect on what an agent does next.
@MichaelStolarzcurrent agent work rule:
the model is the least interesting part of the system.
the loop around it matters more:
repo read
plan
edit
test
log read
retry
handoff
when that loop is visible, the work gets much less mystical.
@MichaelStolarzvibe coding got popular in web apps because the browser is a cheap test harness.
systems work needs harder proof:
logs
fixtures
benchmarks
trace spans
failure repros
rollback state
give the agent those handles and it has something real to steer by.
@MichaelStolarzif your agent setup needs babysitting, write that part down.
where did it get stuck?
which file did it read?
which command failed?
which check passed?
what did you fix by hand?
that is the map for making it less annoying tomorrow.
@MichaelStolarzok ok, glm 5.2 might be cracked
they added 1m context, and with max reasoning, it's the first time an open model feels useful for what I use LLMs for
which is exactly what matters for real work
@MichaelStolarzai can't automate you staring at your terminal deciding if you should refactor everything or just ship the hack
or procrastinating on the agent that's supposed to automate your procrastination
@MichaelStolarzI mean, can you imagine what things are going to be like a year from now? Hell, in six months, can you imagine the releases we're going to see before 2027 even starts?
@MichaelStolarzYou know, thanks to AI, I no longer ever have to touch my printer's settings.
Even the latest printers have abominable settings.
Honestly, anything via a menu feels so outdated when I can just tell my LLM exactly how I want it and it will script up whatever I need perfectly.
@MichaelStolarzi know it sounds obvious, but maybe the most slept-on skill in agentic AI: context engineering
BUT YOU shouldn't do the context gathering
this is why the explosion of everyone using loops feels so sudden, but loops have been around or years regarding AI
@MichaelStolarzthe state of LLMs rn
btw I went back a step, worded it differently, and it did it for me, go figure
@MichaelStolarzthe biggest mistake i made early on was ignoring tools that just wanted to do one thing well. no bloat, no dashboard, no integrations for the sake of it
just clean input, clean output, reliable every time. whoever builds that kind of tool, builds something that lasts
@MichaelStolarzwhat happens if the government just shuts down not only fable but opus and gpt 5.5 too
has anyone actually pictured that or are we all just kind of assuming these models stick around forever + unlock further
@MichaelStolarz10 tools I am using right now to build literally anything I want, June 2026 snapshot:
1. Pi (super custom)
2. Codex (CLI)
3. Codex (App)
4. Claude Code (CLI)
5. Blaxel
6. Obsidian
7. Linear
8. Slack
9. Cmux/Tmux
10. WisprFlow
@MichaelStolarzTIL Daymond John is a biohacker extraordinaire
@MichaelStolarzanyone else feel like pre-agentic and post-agentic building are completely different disciplines or is that just me
@MichaelStolarzwe've been so bad at telling good AI stories that people's main reference points are terminator and black mirror
meanwhile the actual future is probably more like "your grocery bill dropped 80% and you only work 3 days a week"
feels a lot less dramatic
@MichaelStolarzpre-agentic and post-agentic building are completely different disciplines now
having master experience in the former does not qualify you as a master in the latter
@MichaelStolarzrealized the people who'll thrive aren't just "good at code"
they understand systems, constraints, composition
they think in abstractions that work whether you're writing it or an LLM is
@MichaelStolarzcan we finally get a 1m model from @OpenAI that doesn't become braindead at 200k context
@MichaelStolarzwhat happened to @GroqInc lmao remember those guys?
@MichaelStolarzno way anthropic actually turns off fable 5 after june 22
@MichaelStolarzcalling it now,
After this backrooms movie hit it so hard,
get ready for a barrage of SCP movies
And all of them - if done right - will 100m+ each
@MichaelStolarzNOICE. Got my real name. Time to up the shitposting to further my permanent online footprint.
@MichaelStolarzour kids will never experience a bot-less internet where you knew for a fact the person you were replying to was indeed a human you can never be sure about this this ever again reddit, 4chan, insta, tiktok, x, you name it, it's "dead" in this aspect truly dead when ai video is… Less
our kids will never experience a bot-less internet where you knew for a fact the person you were replying to was indeed a human
you can never be sure about this this ever again
reddit, 4chan, insta, tiktok, x, you name it, it's "dead" in this aspect
truly dead when ai video is as indistinguishable as ai text
@MichaelStolarzhey uh codex buddy are you OK @dkundel
@MichaelStolarzI am this except the other way around
I did Waymo about 6 times straight, then I did an Uber because Waymo said 30 minutes to pickup vs Uber's 5 minutes
That Uber ride made me realize, OK, next time I'll just browse X for those 25 extra minutes from now on
@theo
Never taken a Waymo or any other self driving car. Held strong for 6 years. My friends in SF look down on me for it, but I will not cave.
@MichaelStolarzWho remembers these lmao
@MichaelStolarz@MichaelStolarzSo instead of a Waymo I got a RoboTaxi
No where does this mention there’s a guy inside it still, whoops. I should have checked more thoroughly
Waymo moving forward it is then I guess
@MichaelStolarzI’ve got a @Citi bank account that I have debit funds in.
Randomly they decided to lock my account for “fraudulent activity” because “scams have skyrocketed”.
I’ve come in to the physical branch with my passport, driver’s license, the card, my accounts, etc.
Guess what?

@MichaelStolarzwont be until you get the tech of an apple vision pro into the form factor of glasses that your average person won't be able to tell the difference of compared to a regular pair of glasses https://t.co/wp9V41QB0j
@Andercot
The absolute non-takeoff of VR and AR is probably one of the big upsets in consumer electronics history Pretty much everyone thought this would be huge and it sort of just isn't
@MichaelStolarzWait what am I missing here
An Uber would cost me $35 not including tip yet
A Waymo shows $16,
A Robotaxi shows $9
????
@MichaelStolarzsubagents are trash, actually
context is king; auto compaction is so good now (within codex) it's enough.
@MichaelStolarzfor 20 years, I have never come across a system so beautifully imagined, extensible, quick to iterate, such as nvim / emacs
pi is now part of that list. thanks @badlogicgames
@MichaelStolarzyeah this time around i think i'll stay at least 5ish years before traveling again. comparing against sf no matter where i go is a guilty pleasure of mine
@growing_daniel
Whenever I’m away from SF my heart kinda aches for it x.com/kdotvon/status…
@MichaelStolarzThis is the best part of the whole blog @merettm
@thsottiaux
Never talk about goblins. Our latest blog is live. openai.com/index/where-th…
@MichaelStolarzEverything points to the Codex App on MacOS having video understanding when it comes to browser/app use
I’m too lazy to see the logs of what’s going on but so many things point to this
@MichaelStolarzIt’s for God and The Shoggoth anyway 😌
@Syraavibes
People who keep tweeting with 0 likes fear no one
@MichaelStolarzAt this point making iOS at least as extensible/customizable as MacOS (that’s already so gated btw!) seems like a no brainer
Let me code my own shit directly into the OS please
Bring in Taurik and GeoHot, Cydia. Cmon now we’ve already done this before
@MichaelStolarzTrue only if you’re working at a deteriorating company/position
@robjama
the more unemployed you are, the better you get with AI
