"AI TODAY"

REMOVE YOURSELF FROM THE LOOP. DETACH FROM THE IMPLEMENTATION AND MOVE YOUR FOCUS TO THE INTERFACES, VERIFIABILITY AND GUARDRAILS.

WRITING IS THINKING

STANFORD STUDIES ON AI

IT'S AMAZING; YET I WISH WE'D AVOID IT. I THINK WE NEEDED A BETTER GOOGLE; NOT AGENTIC. I FEEL LAZIER, NOT MORE PRODUCTIVE.

IT'S FRUSTRATING SEEING AI JUST REPEATEDLY TRY DIFFERENT THINGS IN A LOOP. I MEAN MAYBE IT HELPED ME UNDERSTAND WHAT WOULDN'T WORK. BUT HONESTLY AFTER LIKE THREE LOOPS, I GET TO THE POINT WHERE I REALIZE THAT MY TIME IS GOING TO BE BETTER SPENT TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE FIRST PRINCIPLES OF THE PROBLEM SO THAT I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY AI IS STRUGGLING SO MUCH TRYING TO PRODUCE A WORKING SOLUTION. AND EITHER DOING IT MYSELF OR ASKING AI TO DO IT SOME OTHER WAY.

WE ALMOST(?) HAD A "TRUTH MACHINE". IT WAS ALMOST A THING THAT WE COULD QUERY FOR THE PROBABILITIES OF OUTCOMES OR CERTAINTIES OF VARIOUS FACTS. SADLY, "AGI" PUT TOO MUCH PRESSURE TO FEED IT ALL THE GARBAGE OF THE INTERNET; THE KINGDOM OF OPINIONS AND FEW FACTS.

THINGS FEEL MANIC AND CHAOTIC. WE ARE MOVING AT HYPER SPEED. ALL TO MAKE A FEW AT THE TOP A FEW BUCKS SO THAT THEY CAN MOVE ON.

FINALLY, MAYBE WE WOULD BE FREE ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY THINK. WE COULD BE DONE SHAVING YAKS. WE WOULD BE SOLVING THE ACTUAL FIRST-LEVEL PROBLEMS INSTEAD OF SHAVING YAKS MANY LAYERS DEEP WORRYING ABOUT HOW TO MANAGE NETWORK CONNECTIONS, HOW TO STRUCTURE OUR CODE, ETC. OR, MAYBE WE COULD STOP SOLVING PROBLEMS AND ENJOY LIFE.
