Brittle if/then/else logic gives way to robust or even anti-fragile logic with predicates. github.com/monetic-labs/an-t…

what if your graph was so personalized that it was the superset of all your digital online data? held in your custody, shaped on a forward looking basis to you and your imagination

There have been tons of new things this year thanks to ai, but ai itself has changed very little this year, unbeknownst to marketing of course. Most of the years ai innovation has been years-old research applied at production scales or glorified if/else loops

Having an agent ask me if it’s ok for it to use the browser first is just another version of asking me to approve cookies

Why don’t hoarders do junk removal as a service? You’d think they would gravitate towards jobs like that

Time for your days technical challenge: New builders, you will be tempted to create a shortcut that auto loads forms for you during testing. If you do this you will gas light yourself. Fill the forms, don’t automate past it ;)

The black mirror that wasn’t dystopian was the one where the social network that appears to be built with privacy preserving tech will make you invisible to everyone. What black mirror didn’t show was that scene was the end of dystopia, everything gets better after that

If you want to build things that change correctly, you must first make them immutable

Kara Swisher is as bad as a faucci with no skills

downloaded some of my google data, time to build the superset of all my data

my cleaning agents collide and the result is a perfectly recoverable, meaningless scenario

I can’t wait to stop thinking about the sign in and account creation process

it took months to get this to stay stable, otherwise i was restarting, crashing, or battling resource constraints every other day

Victim mentality

The idea takes 1-3 days, the details and nuance to make the idea do the thing will take you 2 weeks, longer is you refusing to clarify the details well enough for the machine to do the thing, Never forget that it really only ever does exactly what you ask it, this has always been true in systems, the “hallucinations” are an illusion to offload responsibility. The fact is that if there is a gap in the data for the agent it will always fill in the blank, and it was you who forgot to consider that blank that needed to be filled and it did it for you. The degree of slop you have is literally the qualitative output of your fill in the blank curve where the compounding occurs the blanks you have. So what is AGI as pursued by the frontier labs then? It’s the ability to fill your blanks with the LCD that passes your bar 👐.

Why is it funny? Seems like Maryland people have a different view on human feces being on their shoes, possibly going to stay away from Maryland now

these are the moments when i am grateful for ai, this is something you could have chased for longer than you'd ever want to pre-ai, now its a couple minutes an ai chuckle over an old classic gas lighting

Someone gonna tell Bernie’s that air conditioning isn’t a hoax and works super well to prevent death from heat, possibly works better than making straws out of paper

With agents stealing everything, don’t forget that the most patriotic companies out there, like Stripe, have made sure most of your data is already out of the country before they give up to the agents

And clearly not just me saying things a year ago, Diego spent a lifetime behind the scenes with ML before most of you kids could spell it, he saw the glaring problems. Our society needs to remember that expertise is the useful insight, not an influencer peddling their unskilled thoughts
