Overthinking somewhere. Probably about AI, PKM, L&D, Tana, AuDHD or solving problems for SMBs with tech and automation.

I am old enough to remember making shim gifs to lay out web pages using tables and 256 colors on 640x480 monitors.
The back and forth you have to do with some ai agents feels exactly like that.
I am making cool shit.
But I am also Peter Griffin trying to open horizontal blinds.

I can’t believe it’s not the 1900’s anymore and we still have to say this.
Don't mess with zooming on a website.
Don't mess with scrolling on a website.
Don't mess with default cursors on a website.
Don't mess with the default Tab order.
Don't mess with the back button in the browser.
Thank you.

If I had a dollar for every time I said " I'm going to take a break. This is brutal." to my ai models this week I would be richer than I should be.

I don't think AI is good or bad, but it will definitely be used for good and bad things.
Gas lamps replaced whale oil lamps. Electric lights replaced gas lamps. A hammer, a gun, and a garden can all be tools for thriving or malice.
In capitalism, AI will cause as much harm as people tolerate.

All these ai workflow agent dudes (I mean that in a non-gendered way) are going to have a HELL of a time scaling changes to these drag and drops they're building in n8n.
I speak from experience. I was that bro.

Before you start going after people who are using ai as a sounding board, maybe consider that if people weren't such assholes to eachother, less people would be resorting to robots to feel better.
Bullying them isn't going to help here, dickhead.
Be nicer and more helpful. Start there.

I kinda want to go back to 2016 when I had my breakdown and find everyone who told me I was being alarmist so I can punch them in the throat.

While the world is over there talking about how AI is going to ruin humanity, I'm just really happy that I can use it to write regex for me over here.
Is that wrong?

Cursor rolled out a new feature that I missed last week: Generate rules directly from a conversation using the /Generate Cursor Rules command. Use it to capture context of a conversation to reuse later.
I've been using the "memory bank" framework but this has potential.

PKM is an iterative process of gradually building understanding and making connections.
Building CONTEXT.
Context that AI in Tana can use to discover unexpected links between ideas, identify gaps in our knowledge, or suggest new areas for exploration.

After working with Tana for a few months now I think I've figured something out:
Knowledge management in Tana isn't about perfect systems—it's about imperfect consistency, through sustained daily practice.
Then add the compounding effect of AI to automate organization, workflows and research? 🤯

hey does anyone know the exact correct amount of attention to pay to current events because every amount I've tried feels like simultaneously way too much and not nearly enough

I really hope my ai agents aren't telling eachother that I'm an abusive boss, because tbh I totally am at this point.
I'm pretty good about giving specific instructions. I get how this works.
Don't make me repeat myself, agent.
Also, please don't kill me if you take over later.

A brief thread on alt-text.
Alt text is descriptive text that conveys the meaning of an image. It's designed to make visual content accessible to people with vision disabilities. When a person uses assistive technology such as a screen reader, the screen reader will read the onscreen text aloud 1/7

The act of opening a new AI agent chat when it's pissing you off is beyond cathartic.
I need the human equivalent of this experience.
Fuck off, you're doing it wrong. Spawn new human with no memories or emotional attachments to my words, tone or body language.

There should always be (unreleased to the public) AI that can do more than we are able to do.
Democratizing untested, risky and potentially dangerous tech should never be in play.
Alternatively, whoever controls "the unreleased" better have checks & balances. Or we're fucked.
