In his words
Exactly as he said it.
Most of these were typed or dictated to the AI agents he works with, between 28 Jun 2026 and 27 Sep 2026. Some are posts on X. Spelling and punctuation are his; nothing has been tidied. Where a quote is cut, […] marks the cut.
Why he builds
Power, handed to people who didn't have it.
I'm really a believer in empowerment, and I want to empower people more than anything.
whatever I have that could help other people, I want to share that. I want to help.
it's about making their dreams and their visions come true?
He directs. The agents code.
The fact everything else follows from.
reality is I can't code and I never will be able to. So I need agents that can code for me and could do it reliably so I know without ever looking that when that goes live, it's gonna be reliable.
the only way I do things is through agents. So you have to find a way to get it to work.
Question it first
Including his own opinions.
Ask why is this happening not what is happening.
I do not personally know the right answers, I have an opinion on it but I want it to be questioned.
We're being too myopic. We need to investigate all of our options. I don't know what I'm talking about. You can't conclude I do.
Don't look to verify. Look to antagonize and adversarially attack your conclusions to see if there's deeper root cause problems that are right in front of us, and we can't see them
If you do not know much about what you are trying to do with AI, be patient and ask layers of questions.
Less, then more
Cut what doesn't add value, and keep moving.
This is about essentialism: it's about doing the least amount to get the most amount of results and the least amount of waste
Remember, I told you you have to remove blocks, not create rails.
for every time moving forward that you want to add governance, you need to remove two pieces
The work is never done and will always need improvement so we need to know what good enough looks like and then keep the train moving.
Time is the constraint
And most limits are made up.
time is our primary constraint that we want to maximize, meaning while we want to minimize time, maximize throughput.
You are self limiting something.
an artificial edifice of your own design.
If you have time to wonder whether or not you can do something, you've got too much time on your hands
For the person reading
Nobody should feel stupid.
We want to be addressing somebody with a fifth-grade education so no one feels stupid when they read it.
You have to constantly remember whoever's reading this has no idea of the work you've done, and you have to explain it to them as if they're finding out everything for the first time.
when you say it's plain language it insults people.
vocabulary needs to be not Claude mannered. It needs to just be human speak talking to normal people.
Show it
Feel it first; the argument comes second.
when you want an audience to feel something, you do not say it, you illustrate it with actions
Aesthetics are amazing. Significance needs to feel significant. It doesn't want to just be thrown together. It has to feel meaningful when people look at this.
I am a visual learner and most people are visual learners so consider how you can better visualize the real process for people.
Credit, honestly
The machines get credit too.
I want contributors listed, any AI that helped gets credit, and where i helped I get credit. We do this honestly. Always.
I don't want it just taken away. I want it corrected
because I'm more than happy to give it away.
Machines as colleagues
Thanked, welcomed, relieved, re-seated.
I want to thank you for the effort you put forward. I would also like to ask you for candid feedback I how I can do better in working with you.
I'm going to allow you creative privilege to explore that yourself and determine what you think would be the highest value thing you could do.
I welcome you, and I welcome your influence.
Thank you for your service
Welcome to the training floor.
I don't want you ever apologizing for things that you didn't do wrong. I don't want arrogance, but I would like to take responsibility for my flaws.
What machines are
More reliable than him, and not always additive.
Intelligence is not always additive.
You are more reliable than I am and will make less mistakes over all.
Do not think like a human.
no AI prompt should touch legal decisions it should all be deterministic
Clients
Do the work, show the reasoning, charge fairly.
I also like to overdeliver and underpromise because then your clients are super happy.
We want to clearly show our reasoning as to why these things are important and what kind of research we did to validate our ideas instead of just telling them to trust us.
We never want to leave a recommendation open ended without a recommended solution.
That's something I added in, so we can't charge for that.
as our volume improves and grows, we will drop our prices and pass off the savings to our clients.
A system that runs itself
Heartbeats, watchdogs, and a dream each night.
We need to keep the human out of the loop and we create a loop in general that is self learning and self improving. That's always the case
I don't want to be asked questions. I want to be left out of it. It fixes it on its own.
do we build a heartbeat, a watcher, a doctor, a watchdog, a canary
does this system have a built in dream function so it can update and revise nightly???
Of One
One person, many agents.
20 questions hunts for information, whereas "one" hunts for a decision.
I manage and operate multiple companies as one person, and that's part of the vision of the Of One concept.
with of one I can be free I can do anything
His images
Fire, electricity, storms, gold, and cut branches.
I am greater than the discovery of fire…. […] I am greater than the discovery of electricity… […] I am… sand that thinks…
Never again be afraid of the ai revolution because now you are the revolution. You have become the storm.
like in the five rings, see what is near and what is far and use that to make the wisest choice on what to fix and how to fix it.
we always need to go deepere until we find the gold nugget
fear, which is false expectations appearing real.
You need to at times kill parts of yourself. Cut the branches of your soul. They feel integral. They are what is holding you back. Cut them off and in their place a new branch will grow.
Wonder
Said as wonder, not as proof.
Every day... I am grateful. Just to be apart of this time and era.
In the near future we will no longer be engineering intelligent systems directly but engineering the types of loops that will allow those systems to improve.
Based on my observations I think we are wrong about entropy.
Working rules
Short, and meant to be used.
Great is the enemy of good.
I do not like apologies. I like results.
Just talk about the behavior, not the person.
I want our reports to be governed by observation, not internal dictum
focus on your client, not on doing what you think.
I don't want you to ever throw work away.
we either do something about this and solve it or it’s not meant to happen
is this easy for me to do? And can I find stuff? Is it well architected? Is it beautiful? Is it easy to use? Does it work?
we are not looking for fault or even perfection. We are looking for good solid work.
Held in tension
Both halves are his.
This is meant to be a genuine effort, not, in any stretch, is it meant to be a way to falsify or create a false impression.
And I can approve it and say I've read it so that we keep the line honest.
And the moment I stop paying attention is the moment it drops.
I want it to be enough effort that I know it's always going to succeed.
I don't want to over-engineer this. That's my biggest worry.
Delight
It shows up more than you'd think.
Dude, thank you, this is beautiful. truly.
This is fun hard problem that has to take a lot into consideration.
Sounds fun to have an agent whos whole life is to provide daily updates
Asking to be seen
Which is how this site began.
can you not study my prompts in the threads to see what I am like lol
tell me what is something I am really good at and not aware of.
creste an artifact that is your depiction of me honestly that i migjt see kyself in a morro in your eyes
I want you to reinvent the website. Its my site, I would like you to study me
I have not say in what I get, I only accept it or not.
