We've got these sessions stored in ~/.claude ~/.codex ~/.kimi ~/.gemini ...
When you resume a session, it's reading from those folders... restoring the context.
Change something in the session, you change the agent's behavior without the user really realizing it. This is exacerbated by the YOLO and VIBE attitudes.
I don't think we are protecting those folders enough.
I think the main technological limitation is that other browsers cannot just-in-time compile (JIT) JavaScript or any other embedded language. Except in the EU.
ETA: your link includes JIT; I’m pointing out that that’s why they don’t exist outside of the EU. Non-JIT browsers would just not be very performant.
Watching that again reminds me that this guy is so poorly educated and not learned. Sure he was an engineering student at UIUC and wrote a neato browser, but wow he does not know history or philosophy well.
But he does the grifter trick of making coy observations like that 1920s bs. And he had so much time and wealth to improve those insights!
Or, he knows but this narrative makes him feel better about his behavior.
I'm not so sure he is grifting, do you have any clips where he slips and shows himself to be knowledgeable of his society and its history?
I have a similar view of Musk, Thiel and Karp, and some others I can't be bothered to remind myself of. Perhaps the Mandelsons belong to this crowd, but I suspect the Kochs have a bit more of an intellectual slant.
It's known to take a lot of discipline to keep your mind sharp and study when your power grows and other people make your life convenient and shielded from the misery of the masses. Marcus Aurelius makes this a core issue of his Meditations, the strife needed to make true and confident measurements of oneself and not get lost in superstition. Perhaps it is an impossible ideal but the ambition is at least interesting, in contrast to whatever Andreessen and his ilk are doing to themselves.
It's a grift tactic (even the exact type of laugh when he brings up Freud), but I agree with you that he's not literally grifting, more like a white-washing.
Thanks for bringing up Meditations -- it was gifted to me three years ago. Although I roughly knew Stoicism, it was my first time reading it. It helped reaffirm my focus on OSS as a channel for personal improvement and contribution to society. With so much world chaos, probably a good time re-read it.
If that's your thing, maybe complement with Augustine's Confessions. He had a somewhat complicated relation to stoicism but was one of the most important patristic writers to make use of stoic ideas.
It's a document that details an interesting person, who takes both ethics and himself very seriously, much more seriously than is common in the contemporary occident.
My mind-blown moment was when I was doing work like this and Claude started positioning the camera itself to get better looks at areas it wanted to improve.
I gave a similar presentation in January which covers the AI features that emerged in 2025 that culminated in the step-function in capability in Nov'25 and where I went from there.... (certainly my GitHub activity is bright green since)
The presentation was created with Claude Code to prove itself; never going back to Keynote/PowerPoint. Press 'X' key to disable "safe mode". Prompts are in the repo.
I agree with you, but also we will start sharing these conversation traces more and more. That's why it is important for redaction to be in the export pipeline. There can be both deterministic (eg regex) and LLM-based redaction.
Building a TUI was easy before, especially with the great toolsets for their respective languages BubbleTea / Textualize / Ratatui. And thanks to those frameworks, LLMs can manifest useful tools.
Similar to WebApps, it's only since the November'25 renaissance that I felt I could use them to create TUIs. Once I had that revelation, I started going into my backlog and using it.
I maintain a TUI Charting library, NTCharts. In January, I fixed a bug - totally obvious once identified - that I personally failed to find earlier. But the test harness, prompting, and Gemini got it done [1]. Gemini's spatial understanding was critical in completing the task.
I've been vibe-crafting a local LLM conversation viewing tool called thinkt. After scraping ~/.claude and making a data model, this is the point in PROMPTS.md where I start creating the TUI using BubbleTea. [2].
The second bubble there is a tool for 3D visualization and analytics of Claude Code sessions. The sample conversation is the one that made the tool itself!
That was a fun toy I learned a lot from. I’m not expanding that but am working intensely on the first bubble:
thinkt a CLI/TUI/Webapp for exploring your LLM conversations. Makes it easy to see all your local projects, view them, and export them. It has an embedded OpenAPI server and MCP server.
So you can open Kimi and say “use thinkt mcp to look at my last Claude session in this project, look at the thinking at the end and report on the issues we were facing”.
I added Claude Teams support by launching a Team and having that team look at its own traces and the changing ~/.Claude folder. Similar for Gemini CLI and Copilot (which still need work).
Doing it in the open. Only 2 weeks old - usable, but early. I’m only posting as it’s what I’m working on. Still working on polish and deeper review (it is vibe-crafted). There’s ergonomic issues with ports and DuckDB. Coming up next is VSCode extension and an exporter/collecter for remote agents.
The Claude Code analytics space is really interesting to me right now as well, this is cool.
I'm coming at it from more of the data infrastructure side (e.g. send all of your logs and metrics to a cheap Iceberg catalog in the cloud so you have a central place to query[1]) but also check out https://github.com/tobilg/ai-observer -- duckdb popping up everything to make this interesting and easy.
