Notes from JJ
Hermes Dashboard, Motion Release, and AI Landscape
A Jarvis-style command center, shaders under MIT, and the Fable export ban
This week I focused on building a Hermes agent dashboard and releasing Motion under MIT license. I've also been thinking about the AI landscape with Claude, Fable, and upcoming ChatGPT 5.6.
AI Landscape: Claude, Fable, and ChatGPT 5.6
I've been using Claude a lot more. The AI landscape is shifting rapidly — Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models were recently pulled offline due to a U.S. government export control ban related to cybersecurity concerns, though many security experts argue the ban was an overreaction (TechCrunch).
Meanwhile, OpenAI just announced GPT-5.6 (Sol, Terra, and Luna) — access currently limited to trusted partners. It's a fascinating time: incredibly powerful models, increasing government scrutiny, and uneven access.
Hermes Agent Dashboard
This week, I built a Hermes agent dashboard that lets me see Discord Core data, metadata, watchdog data on reboots, channels, and live conversation activity. It's a standalone dashboard on my Hermes machine that makes it genuinely cool to watch the agent work.
Having a Jarvis-type command center for your AI agent is becoming essential. When you're running complex AI workflows, real-time visibility transforms how you manage the stack.
Motion released under MIT license
I also released /motion under MIT license on GitHub. I'm proud of the project — shaders, chromaverse themes, and kinetic text that I can start adding to commercials, ads, or any moving HTML. These tools were only a prompt or two away.
