Just watched “the wild robot”. Dall-E + Iron Giant + Paddington + motherhood. I *loved* the first half, which is an excellent portrayal of a “helpful assistant” AI ending up in a totally out-of-distribution environment which forces it to undergo a kicking-and-screaming socialized -> self-authoring transition.

I was with my wife on a college campus (unusual for us) and we overheard a student say “chat, is this real?” It caught my attention and I tried to explain who “chat” was to my wife (blessedly offline), and realized I’m not quite sure who chat is, lol. Sort of a referent to “we the group, but amongst a larger group”? The pronoun of choice for “we” in the context of a dark forest?

I have work I need to do *and* tools/workflows I want to learn and explore. My work is getting overwhelmed by the exploring. Is there an LLM agent that checks in every 15 mins to say "hows the <ticket> going?" Some kind of realtime coach I can dialogue with?

Twitter is full of port strike takes, but it’s not even happening on Warpcast or Bluesky. For all its faults, Twitter seems like it gets influenced by the “real world” far more than the other platforms.

1. ask LLM to summarize codebase into its implicit spec 2. ask LLM to generate codebase from the spec 3. version control the spec, treat the codebase as a compiled artifact Has anybody tried building anything this way?

I put every US presidential debate in history into a git repo with perfect syncing to YouTube videos, and built a webapp so you can make permalinks to context-preserving snippets with nice previews. Seems like a good fit for Farcaster Frames, yeah? https://mytake.org/foundation/~cut:(4005.39990234375,4010.069091796875),fact:E74aoUY=91c1934a19e9ec52259a91d04ac2a0dfd9db2d0e,kind:videoCut

I spent a lot of my career building a git client - I was laser focused on accelerating incremental progress. But that approach feels totally inadequate to me now. In this piece I tried to figure out why and work through my hangups with the new stuff. https://thecontextwindow.ai/p/the-new-stuff-is-always-simple

Just finished building a shed in my backyard. Creating a boundary from scratch is hard! Nothing to reference to, can't keep anything organized because there aren't any places for things - which is why you're building the shed in the first place! https://thecontextwindow.ai/p/bootstrapping-boundaries

My main takeaway from the book banning thing is that Barbara Streisand has fully entered the same plane as the 4th Earl of Sandwich.

I spent the past week trying to buy my first NFT (and first non-HODL ETH). Buying ETH or NFT with credit card was declined on all my cards. Finally managed a Coinbase bank transfer, but turns out then you have to wait 7 days after you bought the ETH before you can actually send it. It arrived in my wallet 2 days ago…
