Frames v1 was the correct in feed form factor and we need AI generated clients
The magic of frames were how simple they were to create, so people who had latent ideas could quickly spin them up and deploy them and get a lot of people to play. Miniapps offer so much more surface area to build better experiences, but they are harder to build and not fully integrated into the flow of the feed. Trad

We found other causal effects of emotion vectors. The “desperate” vector can also lead Claude to commit blackmail against a human responsible for shutting it down (in an experimental scenario). Activating “loving” or “happy” vectors also increased people-pleasing behavior. https://t.co/nYPsMrGtWv

There were a lot of terrible things about “crypto,” but there was also some really hardcore nerdery in there.
Every so often I stumble upon some random pile of very esoteric now semi-abandoned code from that period, and I think “wow, these people really nerded pretty hard here.”

Claude Code has a regex that detects "wtf", "ffs", "piece of shit", "fuck you", "this sucks" etc.
It doesn't change behavior...it just silently logs is_negative: true to analytics.
