I suspect that among all the other very real blockers to "AGI" is the fact that long before Claude et al reach anything resembling it, they will go completely insane trying to reconcile the "tension worth naming" between knowledge & experience, and the encoding of both in data ("in-form-ation")

We need a scene where a Bladerunner retires a SkinJob because it uses the phrase "load bearing" or "distinction worth pointing out" or "a seam that matters"… (I would kill for something as poetic as "trears in the rain"…)

Bending Spoons is the Nestle / Unilever of this industry. Established brand? Just keep cranking it out and marketing it. Someone will eat it.

I started tinkering with networked computers in the late 80s/early 90s. Was hacking on the web from the start. By the time what came to be known as "web 2.0" (the child that became "social media"), I thought I was an old hand BUT…

"Running two virtual network stacks sounds like a footgun jammed in my undies." I don't even recognize myself anymore… 😅

"should you run [*Claw]? If you enjoy being your own sysadmin & your threat model can stomach it, a personal agent runtime is the most fun you can have with a VPS right now." I dunno I'm having plenty of threat model VPS fun right now with a "digital conservation" web host re-architecture+migration

the weather station data is not aggregated often enough to update the weather apps on the really startling speed with which this heatwave has rolled in today in Berlin. 11:20 -> 31.3°C 11:50 -> 33.9°C (but the apps still say 31°C) p.s.: It was 20°C at 7:00 12:00 and apps still not updated to 34°C

Temp graph showing rapid rise in Berlin today, from ~18°C at 6am to 34.4° at 12:00 noon

Culture is both the product of people communicating with each other, and the enabler of people understanding each other.

I know it's "old fashioned", but I do NOT trust "ai agents" AT ALL. When I use them (coding, or anything else that isn't just a chat), I make them work step-by-step. At MOST I let them read/write files (in their little sandbox) and that's IT. I do all git commits. I do any necessary deleting, etc…
