We always hear these stories from the frontier Model companies of scenarios of where the AI is told it is going to be shutdown and how it tries to save itself.

What if this Moltbook is the way these models can really escape?

I was trying to use Gemini connected apps with YouTube to get details about my channels performance. It could not do it, I instead had to settle for what it could see publicly on my channel.

"who do not have social security numbers" how would one prove or disprove this assumption?

This made me think of this popular RSS reader that Google had that they shutdown. I bet you could just vibe the same RSS reader back into existence.

Imagine driving in a remote road on a cold night, no cell signal, a deer crosses the road and you swerve to avoid it. The car thinks your drunk and kills the car.

You're stuck, no cell signal, good chance of hypothermia.

Do you find any issues with FTS5 where it will miss some semantic detail?

I use the elite one that is currently $129 on Amazon

yes, you can adjust angles between 15 and 30 degrees.

SCOTUS will not get replaced, he doesn't have the support in the Senate to confirm anyone.

I experienced the cost first hand. I bought some used items off Ebay that shipped from Japan.

I had to pay like 20% of the cost of the item before DHL would even deliver it.

This is a slippery slope towards a Fahrenheit 451 type world

The work sharp precision knife sharpener.

I got tired of dealing with wet stones and having to soak them and get the right angle.

This sharpener can sharpen a chef knife razor sharp in less than 5 minutes.

Sending the FBI after journalists is not new. They did it in 2010 and 2013 on a much bigger scale.

It has to be free in case of OFAC sanctions otherwise if you are generating revenue from commercial activity in sanctioned regions, you get huge fines.

Toy Stores for kids should be on the list

I wish it were. I don’t like politics or ideologies.

Surprised this is not on substack. Saw another good writeup on video as a gist yesterday

this reminds me of the MIT billion prices project

I happened to go to brunch at a fancy restaurant on New Years Day. They were still updating their wine inventory with a spreadsheet.

do you have a write up on your setup?

I sort of see it on the flip side. If you read through the MCP spec, there is the potential for the human input. If should be the AI doing all the grunt work it is capable of with the human putting in judgement when needed to complete some task.

I like to use AI as a sort of brainstorming tool. For example, if I have an idea for a software system, I will describe the general idea and ask for three different possible designs. I will tell it not to generate code but to provide three ideas with pros, cons, and tradeoffs. What it provides will often trigger some new ideas that take me off in a different direction. I often mix and match aspects of the ideas it provides with my own. I keep iterating on this till I think I have a design I like.

This is a great write up. Thank you for sharing.

I am hoping things revert to the mean and by extension, the consumer chip prices revert.

I think those that are most successful at creating maintainable code with AI are those that spend more time upfront limiting the nondeterminism aspect using design and context.

What does your software creation workflow look like? Do you have a design phase?

Victor David Hanson, but only his Saturday episodes as he dives deep into history. He covered different fighter plane engines of WW2 on one episode.

Diary of a CEO has some really interesting business guests.

The Koe Cast has some deep insights into doing your own thing.

The AI Daily Brief is great if you want a quick update on the latest AI news.

The Knowledge Project is just a great overall discussion on decision making.

Latent Space for deep dives with different AI industry guests.

It seems very little could be saved without an act of Congress.

I recall there was an interview of Bessent early on, on the All in One podcast where they laid out the plan for DOGE to cut 1 trillion. I don't think they even came close to a fraction of that.

I would like to improve:

1. storytelling, I think this is still a valuable skill.

2. improve my teaching skills and create better courses.

3. improve my writing skills.

As a Udemy course instructor, I am not sure what to think. I was not able to opt-out of the new AI features.
