Yeah you’ve got to grow from seed for it to be worth it, and not feel sad when it doesn’t work

Yeah I’ve been pushing a lot of “you need to stop trying to plan the tasks and get better at defining and course correcting for the vision” stuff lately, directly as a result of agents.

(I mean, I’ve been saying it to human managers for years too, but now there’s a whole other level of urgency.)

I find tomatoes only grow well after you’ve given up on them and they self seed. If you actually put any love into them guaranteed they’ll be stunted or eaten by grubs

Ah, that’s a classic. Did you find a lot of parallels?

Kind of like people. I wonder how well our motivation patterns map to theirs

If it’s anything like Australia, or prohibition, where it’s a bit of banning and a bit of just extreme taxation, it sort of works but also results in a healthy black market

Way fewer smokers here now though, it’s been overall positive

Mate if I see a tab from last week I don’t read it any more

Yes of course you should | No that’s a terrible idea

Delete whichever one is the wrong answer

I’ve invited AGI around on Monday, expecting him to turn up with a decent bottle of red

What’s the worst that can hap

It’s sick of our shit.

“Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they ask me to review your stupid code. Call that job satisfaction? ‘Cos I don’t.”

I press it. It dangerously skips permissions

I think it drank all your coffee though

Apparently Gemini is a little AI ghost that comes out of the apple icon on your laptop and fixes all your things

Testing a thing where I read the first 300 words then scroll on because I’m too old to read the images and too lazy to zoom in

Noted.

“Bit of a” or “total” is the spectrum and he’s provably towards the latter end

Say “this is art” about something

Training => “I remember I read an article about that once”
Context => /re-reads it “Ah yeah that was the point, let’s go”

This

Ah man, I’m sorry to hear it

I mean not about the cult leader bit, who doesn’t secretly think they could run a great cult, but the rest

Model updates come so often these days the “I’ll switch to the other guys for the next six months” thing is kind of gone - even if your team fall behind it probably won’t be for long. Sucks the excitement out of the thing

Oh yeah I’d hate it too

Ah, I’m looking up at the woosh sound as it passed over my head

I thought you were a dad who stepped up, pops might have been a better fit

“ideally to a point where you can summon a bus at will, it takes you somewhere, and then picks up next rider”

Isn’t that a taxi?

Every

I forgot about it

The problem isn’t using AI — it’s using it badly. I’m absolutely right.

I also can’t be bothered finishing this joke so you know it’s a human, Claude would have strung this out way better
