Your "genuine threat matrix" would look much the same for giving people access to printing, education, or the vote. And indeed many people tried to block them too. Yes, decentralizing power feels scary. But centralizing it is much much worse, as we've seen throughout history.

Building Community-Owned AI Agent Data Repository for Independence
By
–
we as software engineers are becoming beholden to a handful of well funded corportations. while they are our "friends" now, that may change due to incentives. i'm very uncomfortable with that. i believe we need to band together as a community and create a public, free to use repository of real-world (coding) agent sessions/traces. I want small labs, startups, and tinkerers to have access to the same data the big folks currently gobble up from all of us. So we, as a community, can do what e.g. Cursor does below, and take back a little bit of control again. Who's with me? cursor.com/blog/real-time-rl…

Mojo Kernels: Reducing conv2d Code from 870 to 130 Lines
By
–
130 lines instead of 870. That's the difference between our conv2d implementation on Blackwell and CUTLASS's. We broke kernels into three swappable pieces: one for moving data, one for coordinating the pipeline, one for compute. When you need a new kernel, you only change the piece that actually needs to change. Part 3 of our Structured Mojo Kernels series walks through the details: modular.com/blog/structured-…

From Text Files to Living Interpreters: The Return of Lisp and Smalltalk
By
–
The old-style way of building using dead text files won't last, and we'll go back to the even older style of lisps, smalltalk, and APL, where the interpreter is a living thing we interact with.

Python and REPL Languages as Unique LLM Tools
By
–
I like the same programming langs you do – plus a lot more. I think given time, you'll come around. 🙂 As we'll be showing soon, python and similar repl-oriented languages are uniquely capable as LLM tools.

Government Surveillance Required to Pause Frontier AI Development
By

"pausing frontier AI development" is not an action, it's an outcome. A government must do a specific thing to make it happen. It would require, for instance, total gov surveillance of all computer use. It would plan the state in a uniquely powerful position
