From prompts to movie trailer…I’ve been building an AI-assisted video pipeline for AI Signal and short-form content. This weekend I pushed it further: a cinematic trailer generated mostly locally on my Mac with LTX. For consumer hardware, I’m impressed. Check out the trailer👇

Built an open source project while testing OpenClaw sandboxed in a macOS VM. Mac Agent Gateway exposes a tightly scoped local macOS API via skills so sandboxed agents can safely use Apple apps. Local-only. Allow-listed actions. No filesystem access. github.com/ericblue/mac-agen…

Weekend tinkering. AI news started to feel like a job, so I built a small experiment to filter for signal. Pulls from 20+ AI subreddits, scored with Python and summarized with Claude into a short weekly digest. ai-signal.ericblue.com

Too much AI news, not enough signal. So I built a small local first Python tool that ranks Reddit posts and uses Claude Code with agent instructions to generate a clean “top X” digest. Weekend cabin project that did not quite turn into unplugging. github.com/ericblue/curated-…

Over the last two weekends I hacked on an open source project after hitting memory and long-term context gaps in Claude Code. memspan ports identity and context across LLMs. File-based, opt-in, per session. github.com/ericblue/memspan memspan.ai

Celebrating 20 years of blogging & open source coding this week! 🎉 What started as a curiosity and some passion side projects has led to 26 citations across 11 countries—spanning the Quantified Self, EEG, Mind Mapping, and more. I'm honored to see my work referenced in academia & research worldwide. Here's to more unexpected journeys! 🚀 Check out the journey & citations: github.com/ericblue/my-cited… #OpenSource #Coding #Blogging #Research

Embracing change, diving into new technologies and exploring new opportunities — that's been my focus during this brief pause between my consulting projects and catching up on GenAI/LLM projects. This is a long overdue portfolio page highlighting some of my past work and recent open source projects - about.ericblue.com/

I've been fascinated with “connected knowledge” & knowledge representation for years. This is still a work in progress capturing a list of links, articles, research papers, and projects on knowledge graphs, GenAI, & LLMs: github.com/ericblue/knowledg…

Attended my 1st hackathon this past weekend - The National Security Hackathon for Defense in SF. 500+ participants, 64 teams tackling nextgen intelligence analysis, drones, CV, & AI/GPT/LLMs. Kicked off @Stanford , great networking w/ organizers & passionate students. The main event at SHACK15 (@SHACK15sf) was 🔥. Coded most of the next 24hrs to process unclassified briefs, social media & a high-volume of news from 🇺🇸🇷🇺🇨🇳- used LLMs & graph DBs to extract insights & build knowledge graphs - built for chat/Q&A & intel summarization. I'm proud of what we built in 24 hrs! Energizing to innovate alongside talented devs. Def doing more AI/LLM hackathons! #tech #nationalsecurity #defense #innovation #AI #GPT #LLM

There's a certain irony when you have a complicated prompt that is failing and not consistent, and you ask ChatGPT to help debug the prompt and write a better one so it understands better. I had a great, complicated prompt that worked 100% consistently with Claude. With OpenAI it was hit or miss. I asked Claude to help fine tune the prompt to allow for more consistency in the output, even though it had no problem. And sure enough the new prompt works cross-platform now.

This past weekend I spent time diving deeper into OpenAI’s GPT-4 Vision capabilities. I figured this would be a good excuse to blend my interests in software development, AI/LLMs, and artwork. Youtube video: youtu.be/9-nDqjFrpk0?si=Gzt-… Blog post: eric-blue.com/2023/12/05/art…

1999 called and wants its "innovation" back. Nobody asked for this. Nobody needs this. Nobody will pay for this. Nobody cares.

9 yrs ago I was giving a talk at the Quantified Self conference in Amsterdam (2014). This talk explored ideas for merging virtual reality with concepts from the Quantified Self, visualizing biometric data & exploring personal data models along with some other thought experiments

Twitter seems about as stable as it was back in the infamous Fail Whale days. In the past week the logo/blank screen has come up many times. You hit reload and the page slowly renders after a couple tries. I've never seen a product/service regress more than I have with this one.
