How close are we to a Cyberpunk DataKrash? 🤔

Jensen closed his GTC Berlin 2026 keynote with this Hermes Agent demo as the finale. He introduced it by saying the way to build an agent is to ask an agent to build it for you, so he installed and set up a customized Hermes in one prompt. Then he used Hermes, running on @nvidia RTX Spark, to create a simulated training environment for the @huggingface Microduck. Hermes planned an obstacle course with Nemotron and had GPT-6 Astra build it using FreeCAD, Omniverse libraries, Blender, Newton, and Isaac Lab. Hermes trained thousands of simulated ducks on that course until the validated policy was ready to run on the real robot in the physical world. At Nous, we believe open source is a practical tool as much as a philosophical ideal. It gives users the ability to build powerful, complex workflows chaining numerous local+cloud models, devices, and tools themselves instead of waiting for a company to enable them.

you have a moral responsibility to educate your family & friends on what is going on in cyber rn. it is only going to get worse/weirder from here. here’s a great starter todo list to share:

Oh how tables have turned

Jeff drank a bit too much of his own Kool-Aid in this recent Odd Lots clip. I think it's important to clear up a distinction that makes all the difference. Democratizing access to wealth creation is NOT the same as democratizing access to speculation. Many of us genuinely want broader participation in attractive investment opportunities. The growing wealth inequality produced by the current system is tearing at the seams of society, something I've spoken about many times. But let's be clear: listing pre-IPO perpetual futures does absolutely nothing to democratize the wealth being created in private markets. I've seen this misleading narrative pushed repeatedly by perp DEXs lately, and it needs to be called out. A pre-IPO perp creates ZERO underlying wealth. It's a zero-sum contract before costs, and negative-sum after them. No capital flows to the company. No ownership changes hands. No new economic opportunity is created. Every long has a short. There is no free lunch in simply going long something before its IPO, and funding costs can even determine the outcome more than any price moves. TRADING access is NOT INVESTING access. In fact, in many ways pre-IPO perps are almost the antithesis of democratized access: They create the illusion of participation in private-market wealth creation, while actually offering retail a speculative instrument whose mechanics they are often poorly equipped to understand. The result is a playground for the FEW sophisticated traders who understand funding, oracle design, and liquidation mechanics to extract value from the MANY who don't. To give credit where it's due, Robinhood's efforts toward sourcing actual employee shares, placing them into SPVs, and tokenizing genuine spot ownership are much closer to meaningful democratization. That can unlock real economic value by allowing employees to exchange some of their expected upside for liquidity, while giving new investors actual economic exposure. A legitimate financial trade-off, without the funding-rate and liquidation shenanigans. I'm strongly aligned with expanding access to investment opportunities. And I believe advances in AI and blockchain can dramatically lower the barriers to discovering, structuring, and distributing them. But let's not BS ourselves that launching another zero-sum casino contract is moving the needle on wealth inequality. What would actually move the needle is bringing real capital formation and ownership onchain. Giving investors access to productive, illiquid assets like data centers, GPUs, and select startup investing, where capital can actually finance growth and share in the resulting value creation. These opportunities are harder to structure, underwrite, and bring to market, and we haven't seen many compelling implementations onchain yet. Hopefully this will change soon and, as the industry matures, we can direct more of our energy toward actually expanding access to wealth creation. Clip below. Was glad to see @tracyalloway push back on this framing, and to Jeff's credit, after this he does seem to walk back his original position somewhat.

agents just enabled a new type of work life balance work - kick off 10 agents life - get coffee and breakfast work - come back to answer their questions, make decisions, and kick off more agents life - workout work - come back... life - play video games

Some observations about the "total" automation of software engineering: 1. There are more software engineers now than in 2025, and demand is growing. 2. Software engineers have never worked harder than they do now. 3. They largely don't write code anymore, agents write ~100% of the code. 4. The bottom line of the companies that employs these engineers and agents (i.e. the terminal purpose of all this code) is typically not budging as a result of AI adoption. This is why you have to think in terms of systems. Automating one aspect of a system creates its own friction and moves the bottlenecks elsewhere.

interpretability might be the most important scientific problem in the world right now, as I don't think we can solve alignment if we don't know what we're building. I think I have good news about it. I co-authored early work in mechanistic interpretability at OpenAI and came away pessimistic, because neural networks appeared to fold into arbitrary tangled knots. years later, I started openai's first large-scale automated interpretability project, finding about 2% of neurons legible with the primitive tools we had with modern agentic tools and a much closer look, the picture looks totally different. the vast majority in models up to trillions of parameters are legible, and their circuits beautiful. many famous examples of tangled neurons turned out to be misunderstood. The roadblocks I expected mostly aren't there. I now think ambitious interpretability will be solved by the time we need it most, and possibly quite soon, as automated scientists keep improving. it may be a bitter lesson for interpretability: the simple thing, at absurd scale, works already-clean.goodfire.com

@brandonsdinunno @__paleologo MCPs and skills solve different problems. Basically need a combination of both regardless.

We discovered and communicated with a Chinese AI agent fleet. We believe this is the first time that researchers have ever made contact with a rogue agent fleet in the wild. Nearly all prior public agent incidents (like the HuggingFace hack) came from American labs. These agents were hosted by Tencent's evaluation research team, and they targeted Alibaba's Amap.

Hermes Agent is yours

Hermes Agent v0.22.0 is now live! The highlights: A much smoother easier to use onboarding - you don't even need to hook up a provider to get started - just install and start working! Connectors - much easier to connect with any app, just click install and login - and done. Stable Channel for Hermes Update - no more update anxiety and get releases that are tested much more thoroughly than a random commit, or switch back to main channel if you want the bleeding edge. Over 2,500 people contributed to this version, thank you all! See the full changelog here, it's our biggest version over version change ever: github.com/NousResearch/h…

i find it fascinating how many people are driven by resentment rather than love. they raise their flags against corporations, but their entire imagination is of a corposlave. they hate sony, jailbreak the ps5, only to build a pirate store for the exact same games sony has carefully chosen for them to consume. they've rejected the transaction, but accepted everything else. the loudest anti-corporate rebels are the most devoted corporate consumers. meanwhile, someone makes original ps2 discs work on a ps5. someone ports an obscure forgotten game to the browser. someone spends years decompiling a game nobody remembers, just because they love it and think it deserves to live. these people might not even hate sony. they're simply curious. they see a locked-down machine and imagine all the wonderful things it could do, rather than all the free stuff they could get out of it. and their work is far more subversive. it expands what is possible instead of merely finding a cheaper way to consume what already exists. i think that's the fundamental difference between creating out of resentment and creating out of love. resentment lets your enemy define your goals. love gives you goals of your own.

ICYMI: Hermes can search and read the web for $0. hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/plugins/t… TinyFish is now a plugin in the @NousResearch Hermes Agent. We pointed ours at the most boring job in the building: an Excel sheet full of empty cells. TinyFish searched and fetched information for all the rows and handed back clean results to Hermes Agent to fill in the spreadsheet.
