It's hard to say whether we're in a bubble, and I'm no economist, but based on my limited experience as a person who has lived through them in the past, this time feels different. AI feels like the first syncronous event across culture in
I can't quantify it yet, but there's a de-tech-ing going on, it's more of a gut-feel thing. After a generation of tech-natives, the knowledge of how tech works has become ubiquitous. That ubiquity of knowledge is planting the seed of
I've thought of AI models as a lossily compressed version of the internet for a while, though I hadn't named it as such. Recently, Simon Willison coined a phrase that may more aptly capture the idea I've been circling. Lossy encyclopedia Since I love

In a system that can't see you, your behavioural patterns become the things that are used to discriminate against you. That's all a digital system can really know about you. Physical attributes don't mean anything in a digital world, things like your ethnicity, gender,
As it stands, the user experience of AI chat is limited by an overly simplified interface. Chat works well for a single line of thought, but it needs to sit within a larger UI framework to support more complex thinking. I’ve accumulated a few ideas on how to
I recorded my first post idea as a voice memo. I sat down to transcribe my thoughts into text, but first, I put on some music to help get into the flow. Now I can't listen to the voice memo without the music being cut off. It'
