I’ve been getting great responses from Claude lately and using it even more than ChatGPT. I’m wondering if ChatGPT’s memory feature doesn’t make it a little “over fit” to the user. Claude seems to have an easier time coming up with fresh ideas. So interesting.

Absolutely incredible valuation — first to $4,000,000,000,000.
Nvidia became the first company to reach a market capitalisation of more than $4trn. The chipmaker has prospered despite concerns about Mr Trump’s tariffs and the rise of Chinese artificial-intelligence firms. Shares in the American company soared by almost 3% on Wednesday before falling slightly. Nvidia’s rise has been rapid. It only hit a valuation of $1trn in 2023. — The Economist, World in Brief, July 10th 2025
And I thought NVDA was overvalued 2 years ago. Wow.
Vibe Coding POAP2RSS
Ever since I created my first POAP drop I’ve wished that I could see claims of POAPs in Feedbin. What a great way to keep informed of the tokens that people are claiming! As I created more POAPs I realized that I also would like to subscribe to other people and see what POAP …
Keep reading · 16 minutes: Vibe Coding POAP2RSSWorked with OpenAI Codex this morning and redesigned the website for POAP2RSS. It gave a clean structure as requested that I could fill in and make better.
I’ve created my first project using AI to write nearly all of the code with me!
Introducing POAP2RSS!
For years I’ve wanted to get updates for POAP events and users in RSS. Now with the help of AI I’ve created it!
Still cleaning to do. Check out the code on Github.
In 2023 I shared Archimedes’ famous line:
Give me a place to stand, and a lever long enough, and I will move the world.
At the time, I suggested the real “threat” to capitalism isn’t socialism or communism but is instead technology itself.
With AI, that lever just got a lot longer.

This is the feeling I keep having as I continue to dive deeper into Agentic AI.
Important ruling for AI model training, copyright, and fair use. This aligns with how I would think about it.
A federal judge in America ruled it was “fair use” for Anthropic, an AI lab, to train its chatbot on books without authors’ permission. Its storage of over 7m pirated books, however, was not. Last year three authors sued Anthropic for allegedly copying and storing pirated material without compensation; the judge said Anthropic will face a separate trial to determine the damages it owes. — Economist, World in Brief, June 25, 2025
As AI Agents continue to grow in capability it seems likely that we will want them to have financial resources to take action with. AI Agents will need an account balance, micropayments, and immediate settlement which are all feasible today with crypto. Digital money for digital agents. 🤔
