@levelsio what about whoop?

[Sean @BeCachet]

i have found it to be more enjoyable, because its more productive, to have my "ai" setup as light as possible. the more skills, custom tooling, custom harnesses, etc. i've added over time, honestly made my days slower.

when i look back at it, it was very easy to add slop and watching it just build things. only to realize that what it was building wasn't productive to the end results.

the most efficient setup is in front of codex of claude app, that both have great tools, and watch them cook.

i keep trying to wrap my head around why this is the case. it has to be a few things:
- underlying understanding of the technology
- access to experiment with various tool beyond Gemini Business subscription

most people probably don’t want to user their own ai software probably because of the cost and just lack of integration to their work environment. also, it seems like the incentives are there yet for most employees to benefit from ai usage, especially when your job is based on “filling in the hours”.

"Anyone can do nearly anything; but most people aren’t, yet."

Who uses AI power tools every week:
- OpenAI's own team: 93%
- The top 10% of companies: 19%
- A typical company: 3%

@MiaAI_lab fable over astra is a hot take.

[Sean @BeCachet]

the moment i leave completing tasks that are “code heavy” ai just doesn’t succeed nearly as efficiently.

this is certainly a skill/time issue on my end because it’s the lack of proper interface. when i build out APIs and better browser tool use, it actually does a great job holding context when debug server consoles or various networking.

so now, my time is spent: monitoring tasks, building harnesses / tools, and completing the work ai has yet to takeover.

@FundamentEdge @firesidealpha that’s awesome man.

[Sean @BeCachet]

i’m beginning to learn why there are “certificates” for google cloud competence. i’m blown away with the shear amount of pages, dashboards, settings that are thrown at you.

it makes sense because “google cloud” is basically anything the revolved around compute and networking but damn, talk about a fire hose.

@signulll 2016 has vanished.

How you really know fall is upon us is not the change in weather, or the leaves changing color…

It’s Anthropic has taken the lead over Open AI.

@jerryjliu0 how long will they be correlated for?

[Sean @BeCachet]

@NickADobos it’s insane to see how big the gap has become.

[Sean @BeCachet]

@shiv_kampani haha, the latter is probably more accurate.

[Sean @BeCachet]

@allgarbled makes me wonder why it designs code the way it does. like, are the weights tailored against writing "human readable code"?

[Sean @BeCachet]

@ADoricko sko buffs

[Sean @BeCachet]

every time i leave a conversation, it reminds me how now more than every the ability to storytelling is so valuable.

there is this mixture that some people have where they can squeeze so much value into a statement, every word is so dense, and it flows so simply where its elegant to listen to.

especially with the ability to reference "details" about something, its no longer relevant to house knowledge. the value has been transitioning to articulating that value instead.

what marginal value do your words provide?

[Sean @BeCachet]

@signulll great for the larp

2023 will be the new 2016. everything before GPT 3.4 felt so pure.
