I know it's easier said than done, but don't let the anti-AI crowd get to you. Would love to exchange ideas (and be emotional support if the mean comments are taking their toll)! Definitely reach out (I'm scott@ (the domain i

This is really cool! I've started building a similar tool with some different ideas based around the way I like to ideate with LLMs and write. Debating whether to open source it because it's so tied to my process. Will be interest

Curious if anyone else has seen this role start to pop up? As I’ve been talking to people and sharing this idea I’m seeing hints of it, but mostly just figuring it out as hoc.

Building software is getting faster and cheaper than ever before and when that happens to a medium, all sorts of new things become possible. Some friends and I have been having a ton of fun making standalone, interactive artifacts lately an

That's a great point about the choreographer. Hopefully I'll be able to afford one some day...

Ahh cool, I'll dig through your comment history tonight :) I will say, I suspect we're only in the early stages of the LLM's writing equivalent of "autotune" while we all collectively figure out what's tasteful

Yeah, there's a lot more work and personal touch that went into this (and the previous piece) than just "write prompt -> copy/paste into substack". It's really interesting to hear about others that have been expl

Thanks! Yeah there were a couple I decided to leave in rather than try to rework as I wasn't trying to hide that it was written with AI, more trying to add more variety to the storytelling. I'm sure as I do more of these I'll

Yeah responsibility and accountability are also some areas I'd like to explore. I'm mostly digging through this artifact I created with Claude to look at first order and second order effects and then "traffic jams" in th

I appreciate the question and I think the answer is much longer and more nuanced than can really effectively fit into this form factor. I think this question is getting asked right now about all art forms because of AI and from a lot of dif

Funny, I was talking to a friend the other day about some thoughts on branding and he commented "as someone with a background in marketing & advertising communications, it's wild to watch a software engineer learn the value of

Ugh yeah, I had an aside about the right-to-repair fights still going on indefinitely into the future that I ended up cutting. I kept the title because it seemed like a warning the characters would see on everything they bought, even if the

Thank you for this comment, I'm so glad it made you feel a little bit better about the future, if even for a little while! This is really the whole idea behind this project with Near Zero. I think there's a lot of anxiety out ther

Funny I actually saw this tweet this morning about an Openclaw instance getting too advanced for the users to know how to control and fix: https://x.com/jspeiser/status/2033880731202547784?s=46&t=sAq...

Thanks! Yeah this was AI assisted. As an experiment I started asking Claude to explain things to me with a fiction story and it ended up being really good, so I started seeing how far I could take it.

Has it bugged any of you that everyone you talk to has their own unique prompting technique that they swear by and none of them are exactly the same but still seem to kind of work?
