With #openclaw - the best way I've found to write #cron jobs is to create a custom skill and put all the detail in there, then have the job just run the skill. My agents don't automatically know this is the most sustainable way to do things, but they're happy to oblige.

Couldn't remember a song name but wanted to hear it. Typed, "song trumpet sounds like sunset in Florida," into Google. "Summer Madness" by Kool & The Gang, it said.

Spot on. That freaking blows my mind.

This is mostly a no-brainer for this audience - but shared on my (ugh) M$ social network - I think many in my bureaucratic day job need this.

"Let's add an internal combustion engine to our buggy whip!" I can't imagine someone thought it in 1910, but we're doing a lot of it today: "let's speed up our current processes by sprinkling in #LLM!" This is the same thinking that leads us to still rely heavily on PDF/DOCX approval formats, emailed around, instead of a modern approach (as simple as a checkbox on a Sharepoint site, sometimes). Maj Bader's write-up on an Army #AI Challenge nails the same point. We need to revamp our organizations to take advantage of this technology.

I share many of this post's thoughts around #AI intersection with #craft #programming vs. make-it-go - this post puts it more elegantly than I could. I'm very much on the craft side - and still trying to figure out how I'd want to integrate AI w/ dev I'm doing.

Why craft-lovers are losing their craft

Les Orchard made a quiet observation recently that I haven't been able to shake. Before LLM coding assistants arrived, the split between developers was…

The rate of innovation on #AI architecture is mind blowing right now. It feels like we're well in the "acceleration" phase, the middle, of the #innovation S-curve. #Leadership looking to create tech around it can use "backcasting" and "future-back strategy", along with many low-downside high-upside investments, to succeed when we get to the top of the curve.

An AI S-Curve

I find it fascinating to see how quickly, and in how many directions, practical AI ideas are multiplying right now. I installed OpenClaw recently and set up some daily prompts - show me interesting information, mine some RSS feeds I like - it has helped me learn new things each day… But I did not expect the breadth of different agent orchestration and LLM architectures it would present to me regularly.

PKD, interesting as always. This one wasn't a page-turner but had some interesting bits influencing some other sci-fi.

Interesting bits include rockets that fly us anywhere including the moon, and contain telephones with phone books, and that connect to human operators 🤣
