From a legal standpoint: do these people need valid drivers licenses?
Readit NewsGithub sucks now, for one; people are looking for an alternative.
This is not an alternative to GitHub though. The code for this tool itself lives on GitHub!
Really struggling to figure out what this is at a glance. Buried in the text is this line which I think is the tl;dr:
"As a result, every change can now be traced back not only to a diff, but to the reasoning that produced it."
This is a good idea, but I just don't see how you build an entire platform around this. This feels like a feature that should be added to GitHub. Something to see in the existing PR workflow. Why do I want to go to a separate developer platform to look at this information?
Karpathy seemed pretty awed though
To be honest it's pretty embarrassing how he got sucked into the Moltbook hype.

As an adult that interacts only with other adults in good faith, it's easy to look at this and feel outraged.
But there is a very real and dangerous situation where children and adolescents are using Discord with zero guardrails, constantly interacting with adults - many of whom are predators. This is happening every day. Millions of children around the world "meet people" playing games online, take the conversation to Discord, and then get brought into a very dark world online that their brains are simply not ready for.[^1]
I don't like the idea of blanket face scans/ID scans with that data stored in perpetuity - but age verification of some kind is a must IMO.

This is how Musk is going to make good on his promise to pay back the original people that funded his Twitter purchase and offload that debt.
Twitter (X) was folded into xAI. Now xAI is folded into SpaceX. SpaceX will IPO (or be merged with Tesla) and those investors will be able to sell their shares - the debt is "gone", his benefactors make money, and retail investors pick up the short end of the stick.

This is an art piece that's horrifying to look at, but I can't look away.
This is one of those things that's an amazing idea in a perfect world with no fraud or bad actors.
So much for building AGI, lol.
The whole company is built on lies and deception.

In all seriousness though, this represents a bigger issue: Can autonomous agents enter into legal contracts? By signing up for a GitHub account you agreed to the terms of service - a legal contract. Can an agent do that?
