Agents are very exciting because they have (some) agency, but let’s not confuse emergent agency with sentience. They did not spontaneously start their own Reddit. Words matter, and if a parrot with a cell phone makes you dinner reservations, that does not make it your personal assistant | 27 comments on LinkedIn

Introducing TOASTY - I wanted Claude Code + GitHub Copilot + Gemini to pop up a Windows Notification (toast) when done with long running tasks so I made Toasty.

Scott Hanselman’s TEDx Talk On The Promises of Technology
Scott Hanselman is a someone I’ve followed for quite some time. I’ve always found his insights on technology and the intersection technology has with humanity to be valuable and that they make me think. Strange that I think of it has an intersection, given that technology wouldn’t exist without humans.
I recently saw he that his TEDx talk titled Tech Promised Everything. Did It Deliver?
https://youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg?si=621DVVK4t6jDlJ33
Scott breaks down the three promises of technology into Connection, Convenience, and Creativity. I won’t hint at where the talk goes, you should watch it for yourself.
As an intriguing side note given the subject matter I found in remarkably inconvenient that WordPress decided to do some sort of work on their backend as I went to publish this post. Technology is great when it delivers, right?
Regardless, what Scott has to share is excellent stuff and highly recommended.
