i miss just sitting with information and pondering on it with ai, i feel obligated to do something with that information. build something, write something, put it in a second brain i'm rarely working with knowledge now for the pure joy of exercising curiosity

would be cool if everyone hyping up the crazy things their agents did for them could share links to cryptographically signed logs that prove the chain of events and inputs i'm too jaded with undisclosed paid ads to believe 95% of things i see here

tried being more of a cheerleader for my agents and i hate to admit they are performing better than when i was being a critical asshole to them

my computer makes art every night now, even when it's sleeping claude creates new pattern generators a couple times a week, and all generators run every night at midnight each morning i wake up, make coffee, and open up the output link in my inbox to vote on my faves

competing for foreground app mindshare rn is a losing battle the winners of this next era of software development will be those who build a ux that happens primarily in the background - only making minimal asks to the user while still providing tangible value

to keep output stylistically cohesive, i gave claude a strict set of rules: square SVG, hard grid snap, black and white only (no tones), no transparency, no curves any greyscale or curve you think you see is just an optical illusion

there's no real goal here, the aim is to mainly experiment with art directing/training an agent to my own personal taste i love creative thinking, but a lot of the time i feel my skillset doesn't match what my brain can dream up - maybe now that won't be as big of an issue :)

Explaining living in Quebec to people is like “ya it’s ethnonationalist and socialist.. ya it’s nationalist and socialist… but it’s also woke. They gave me $3k for being poor once and you can get good art grants but the language police can search your work phone. I like it here”
