nothing about "AI" is sillier than the idea of self-improvement. this text prediction machine, which doesn't have a model of physics because it's a text prediction machine, is going to predict the designs of new computer chips and manufacturing methods, and it's going to be correct, and this will happen incrementally as it makes itself into a better text predictor. being better at producing human-like text will also produce more accurate theories of silicon physics. sure. ok.

had one of those moment where I'm dreading the number of attentive steps a planned activity will take this evening, and then remembered that I'm dying my own hair for fun and there is no deadline and I can literally just do it another day that pleases me better.

the four minutes before the bus arrives are the longest four minutes of the day. that's not a statement about anticipation it's just that the bus app does not account for traffic. those four minutes can easily take ten.

Replying to

@davidgerard@circumstances.run it's possible that users are asking for features! unfortunately in 2026 if you attempt to deliver a feature by any method other than chatbot, you are immediately transfigured into a donkey.

it sounds reductive but the core of my professional work is to ask, very patiently and nonaccusatively, "And does that work?"

work colleague very excited that copilot might let her search her emails for such things as "emails sent by person x" or "emails without responses". once again, these machines are only useful to people who don't know what their tools can already do.
