Doesn’t Everybody Think Like This?

I think, and stuff distracts me, therefore I write it down so it doesn’t vanish into history unremembered, lost to the world. I’ve got AI capturing a lot of it now making it much easier to build on what came before!

Box of chocolates:


  • I was first wondering that if the AI decides to eliminate us, what would they do to the apes? Then I thought, well, what did *we* do with apes? Did we just leave them alone?…


  • A friend suggested that AI’s current architecture was merely randomness at the point of traversal, like the monkeys typing Shakespeare metaphor. And that’s not going to cure cancer. I was thinking about this. Data centers…


  • Another example of the divergent convergent evolution happening as we all use our programming brains on the blank canvas of coding agents came across the wire today. The AI-Native SDLC playbook – Anthropic Many of…


  • A LinkedIn post about C4 diagrams got me typing up a reply that got too long. I figure I’d plop it down here. This is why I spent a lot of time in Lucidchart the…

  • How does one get satisfaction from life is one doesn’t plan? In my life I’ve planned lots of things. But somehow in the last years, it seems to have become a blur of reactivity. Almost…


  • There are events that you look back upon and realize that they were “events”. Then there are events planned for the future. For instance the Oscars, or a vacation. We know they’re coming. My existence…


  • I realized this a long time ago… Unfortunately realizing it isn’t living it! It’s not “owning” the thing you realize. A visualization: We use timelines to represent time, which make sense if you’re charting a history…


  • One of my things is definitely swimming in a swamp of thoughts as I wake up in the morning. So now I guess the true “journal” comes where I am taking the most recent happenings…

Is it even possible to subscribe?

I have no clue, this is my first time trying this.
