I hope as we move past the first wave of AI criticism ("it doesn't work, all hype") we get a new wave of AI criticism rooted in the acknowledgement that, yes, these systems are very powerful & quite useful and focusing a deep exploration of when AI uses are uplifting and when they are detrimental.

Wrote about a new project I'm working on. It's a note-taking/thinking-system app that evolved out of an experiment with using just an MCP server for taking notes. Turns out you need a UI.

‘Blueskyism’, Political Violence, and Open Social Networks Under Authoritarianism

Was on a support chat to replace a failing monitor today and it's oddly comforting to see slightly awkward english phrasing and realize they haven't been replaced by an LLM.
"Be assured i will help you with the resolution."
You know what? As a matter of fact I am assured.

Tiny little context engineering thing I learned today: when working with coding agents switch your test reporter to a more concise output like dot rather than having it spew tons of "test foo passed". The agent only needs to see the failures.
