I have a few core observations about work that influence how I approach AI: 1. There is one-time work (development, personal assistant) where the input and output are net new. There is also back office work (billing, FP&A, questions abo

That was the idea that stuck with me the most from the novel. I did a bit of a surface level dig into what that would look like:; https://www.startuplevelup.com/corporations-as-an-api/ What I think is missing is the li

I see that as well. Sometimes I can see that they are prioritizing speed to print for breaking news (publishing to the web happens continuously vs the cadence of a daily newspaper) but often it is just being sloppy. When most people are con

How is this different from Microsoft scraping to build Bing? Honest question. There is a line in the sand somewhere apparently.

Every once in a while I would put Flight Simulator 2020 on my desktop and work on my laptop. I found that watching the digital world pass by while working put me in a slightly different headspace. Not sure it increased productivity but work

The Weber kettle grill is one of my favorite examples of quality in another way—function. It is built well but it also is such a wonderfully simple design that provides quite a bit of flexibility. I have the Smokey Mountain which is amazing

Is that self reported? Does it apply to content created by a U.S. based AI model? Posted on a U.S. website? Read by someone in the U.S. I am not anticipating people self identifying slop.

I don’t want to read content written by AI. A feature I would like on LinkedIn would be a 100% verified human content flag for users. LinkedIn can then do the scans and flip that to false for any users it catches posting AI assisted content

When I moved from LA to St Louis many years ago, there wasn’t an IKEA yet. I was truly confused about where one was supposed to go to buy lamps. Any furniture stores that had them were selling ones that gave off strong grandma vibes.

Very much agree on Fable. Over the past month or so it has shown to be the only Anthropic model that can understand a largish dbt model codebase. Opus 5 gets almost everything wrong. (High reasoning on both)

I tried zed for its vertical agent threads grouped by project (which Claude Code has since added) and had the same experience--even after trying a bunch of different themes. It felt like none of the dark themes had enough text contrast. May

I did a quick comparison of models a couple of months ago by giving it a MYTXTADV.BAS file and give them all the same prompt to create a sprite-based version of a text adventure game I wrote in Basic over 30 years ago. It was interesting to

True about AI slop pre-AI. Before 2026 my LinkedIn feed was mostly about how to get rich buying real estate. AI is an improvement. I would like to remove the AI-generated content and any low-effort content from my LinkedIn feed. There can b

I felt that Amazon had the best chance to step into the ticketing game as they have the platform that can handle the volume spikes (Cyber Monday). But tech infrastructure is only a part of the puzzle.

I think because so much of an idea is shaped by the language used to convey it, it may be hard to separate the person from the LLM. I think gp may want to know if a <person> has an interesting idea rather than <person + llm>.

I have called them casinos for kids elsewhere due to the bright colors, flashing text, and money counters going up, up, up on the screen. And also because my kids can spend tens of dollars in minutes on it.

My thought was that messages need to be untrusted by default and the trusted input should be wrapped (with the UUID generated by the UX or API). And in this untrusted mode, only the trusted prompts would be allowed to ask for tool and file
