One of the things not represented well by the hype cycle is how hype is a moving target. When "ai defenders and hype" assign a number to things, the early numbers can become closer…

Things change, and people forget why they were ever any other way. There are definitely resistance forces, but when the overton window flips, people just accept the status quo agai…

> should want [others] to make binding agreements As Munger emphasized, others act according to incentives. First, clarify those incentives, then incentivize them if you can.

Sometimes its worth tracking usage optimization and raw abilities as separate qualities.

Figure out something to say even though you are not yet very clear on the other person's communication. Common approaches: Ask for clarification, mirror what they say. Growing up a…

I use high-quality tape on the spine after flattening it for easy reading; still flattens well, but holds together longer.

Treat the answer like a game instead of treating the question like a logic puzzle. Optimizing the answer framing instead of the question framing opens up a lot of possibilities. Th…

Love the AI format with obvious misunderstanding to this and all your other comments; makes it much easier to find AI bots like yourself.

Allowing for creative incubation is a real thing. But task restarting penalty is real as well: you lose context and your mental model; working memory loses details; dependencies ar…

It's an "absence of light" pattern (as opposed to dark pattern). Creating a very common tech support issue; sometimes "login" isn't even visible.

Commoditization always takes volume from the marketplace, but not necessarily profit. Apple and Military tech come to mind. Positioning is rarely done well looking forward, but oft…

A one point a very hated thing was how they defrauded advertisers using their services. They have increased the fraud over time, so that hate hasn't gone away.

At a certain point in the process, a little additional content multiplies the value of your existing efforts. But that is misunderstood (survivor bias?) as "make lots of content, b…

"Good artists copy, great artists steal, the best artists make lies seem true." – Steve Jobs. Actually, Jobs self-servingly refactored then misattributed to Picasso the line, "Good…

"Yes, ..." is how I notice all the models (4-5 that I use) in the last week or so have begun saying "No, ..." except for Kimi. I ask a lot of questions in the form of "Question abo…

And knocking out the messy garage background to replace it with a showroom is the easiest prompt.

Compaction is a feature like swapping out a car for a tricycle is a feature for greater economy.

Each new iteration of the hype cycle feels "like its not hype" because the tech is more promising in new ways, but the hype comes from human perception. New tech has to fight a lot…

... and then it stopped having that ability to build on create concise, accurate summaries and expand on them. Same problem with GPT 5.6 Sol. I even tried and old prompt in the (mo…

Finishing the conservative sentence but not the liberal sentence? "Fewer armed police responsibilities for nonviolent issues such as homelessness" is more clearly the liberal posit…

You can frame setting up AI such that some of that activity is similar to some coding activities you like, or that some of that activity releases you from some of the coding activi…

TLDR; hard to resolve that question with dialog. Complexity resists reduction, yet fundamentals that affect change over time exist. That said, growth seeks to shed restrictions upo…

Just opened it and Bridge updates are unavailable due to incompatibility: Windows 11 only. Of course my hardware is Windows 11 incompatible.

The most powerful humans, and human systems, often score very low on stewardship and empathy. While "cancer" triggers as opinionated, using a less-charged analogy I think should pr…
