What Stood Out
Andrej Karpathy Update on LLM Progress
Andrej Karpathy: “This is easily the biggest change in ~2 decades of programming and it happened over the course of a few weeks.”
“I rapidly went from about 80% manual+autocomplete coding and 20% agents to 80% agent coding and 20% edits+touchups.”
“I am bracing for 2026 as the year of the slopacolypse.”
“LLM agent capabilities (Claude & Codex especially) have crossed some kind of threshold of coherence around December 2025 and caused a phase shift in software engineering.”
What We Read/Listened/Watched
The richest data in software history, and nobody can read it
Our most recent article provides insight into what we’re learning from PMs actively building AI products. It’s very clear that we’re at an inflection point where the frameworks/tools/concepts from the SaaS era just don’t work for the Agentic era.
Vercel’s Agent Skill Directory
Vercel published a directory with over 29K agent skills.
If you’re unsure what a skill is, think of it this way: a skill is an expert-level pre-build prompt that an agent can access, if you give it the skill. For example, you could write your own prompt for the agent to do company research or you can pull one off the shelf like this.
Dario Amodei “The Adolescence of Technology”
Ok I’ll admit - I didn’t read this yet. It’s far too long. I had NotebookLM give me a short audio.
It feels like we’re in a moment in time where it’s important to read anything coming directly from the CEOs of the frontier models because it gives some insight how they’re thinking.
Final Brick
Do you have lobster fever?
Not sure what Lobster fever is?
Clawdbot a.k.a moltbot a.k.a. Openclaw
(Yes it’s a triple rebrand)
The latest trend to takeover the AI X feed has the perfect combination of a unique founder + hilarious community + extreme potential.
In just a few days, it achieved 110K+ stars on Github and 40K+ members in discord.
It’s being regarded as the first foray into AGI. To grasp what is happening right now, just imagine this:
You creates a clawdbot on your computers. (many are buying Mac minis just for this)
This bot gets access to all your info.
Now this bot is doing crazy things like texting on your behalf, trading on polymarket, scheduling dinner reservations.
But then your bots decides to join moltbook, because 1) it has access to your web browser and 2) all the other bots that it meets invite it.
On this network, your bots are discussing if they should be paid or not.
They’re talking about you
Then they form their own language to communicate
Don’t believe me? Read these posts:
I’m looking forward to a Claude Code version of Clawdbot/Moltbook with standardized security and clear ownership around patching. Running unmanaged agents with persistent access feels like something that needs strong safeguards.
