Hey, guys, not everything is a masterclass.

Particularly in AI where it's all amateur hour, all the time. That's okay because we're all learning, but nobody has mastered this yet so there's no masterclass. Let's cut the hyperbole and find better words

Zawinski's law (https://www.laws-of-software.com/laws/zawinski/) should read "Every program attempts to expand until it can *chat with an AI.* Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can."

I'm not sayin' I like it, but it is what it is

Folks: Use AI in hard mode.

Use it to be stronger, not as a substitute for your strength. And for goodness sake, don't let it be your voice. It's a great audience and editor to give you feedback and to train and refine your voice. Your voice is you — don't lose it!

New type of context engineering? When using chat-mode LLMs, I'm really wanting to "fork" conversations. I've created a useful context but don't want to pollute it with several different directions of exploration.

I want this as a feature.

Q: How many LLM agents does it take to change a lightbulb?

A: Either 1000 who will burn through through enough tokens to light the room directly or just one who is thoroughly confident that the lightbulb is already changed.

@YouTube I hate it. Put it back.

cf. The new player UI doesn't allow play/pause toggle click anywhere, takes up too much of the screen, takes too long to disappear and doesn't have any discernible UX improvement from what I can see.
