When people say 'AI isn't a bubble because the technology isn't going away', it just shows they don't know what a bubble is. The internet didn't go away. Railways didn't go away. Tulips didn't go away. An asset can be overvalued, even if its useful.

I have been working on Obsidian Reader for over a year. I didn't want to share it until I felt it was good enough. It's finally there. Consistent formatting for any article. Outline, syntax highlighting, nice footnotes, adjustable typography. Runs locally. Just rules, no AI.

I'm ready to accept a definition of "agent" that I think is widely-enough agreed upon to be useful, at least in the AI engineering space: An LLM agent runs tools in a loop to achieve a goal (I've been dismissing the term as hopelessly ambiguous for years) simonwillison.net/2025/Sep/18/...

I think “agent” may finally have a widely enough agreed upon definition to be useful jargon now

I’ve noticed something interesting over the past few weeks: I’ve started using the term “agent” in conversations where I don’t feel the need to then define it, roll my eyes …

The data industry promotes builders. Not leaders. You nailed pipelines. So they gave you politics. Now you're managing people, budgets, and roadmaps. With zero training. You’re not unqualified. You’re just undertrained.

OpenAI announced Codex (openai.com/index/introd...) on May 16, 2025 for their $200/month Pro users, and Google announced a competing tool called Jules (jules.google) on May 20, 2025 making it available for FREE. There’s no moat in AI—how can a moat disappear in less than a week?

Jules - An Asynchronous Coding Agent

Jules is an asynchronous agent that gets out of your way. It lets you focus on the coding you want to do, meawnwhile picking up all the other random tasks that you rather not do.

Every AI coding tools company doing demos with React + Typescript (and maybe React Native.) Microsoft meanwhile showing off Java and .NET case studies. This doesn’t look like an accident - but a very deliberate strategy. It’s easier to win when you are on a ground with fewer competitors…

It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.
