Preface on my posts:
1. I started posting to connect with the AI industry worldwide. I am working at a Japanese AI startup, and have not gotten a lot of chances to connect with those worldwide. I thought that getting on X is one way to do so.

Introducing Adaptive Computer.
We put AI inside of an always-on personal computer that it uses to get work done.
Schedule agents. Create software. Automate anything.
As part of the launch, we’re giving one free month of Adaptive to users.
Retweet, like, and comment ‘Adaptive’ to get it.
a bit similar to the point I wanted to make on this article.
I think what is important is to be mindful of the purpose of your action. Whether you are trying to be productive or just having fun.
However, AI with its open-endedness with its output makes the border of these two actions vague. Most of the time, the tool is self-descriptive of the purpose. Kanna is obviously "unproductive". But you can use AI for productive as well as very unproductive use cases.
Those (including myself) who creates "wow" and "lock-in" types of posts may be having a difficult time understanding this aspect of AI as a tool.

build an agent that speaks your UI.
your charts. your forms. your seat maps.
multi-turn, streaming, interactive.

AI really mitigates the effects of loneliness.
I left my company a few days ago and I am going solo now.
It sometimes gets really lonely stuck in your room with no one to talk to.
You picture yourself from a third person view in a timelapse and say "man, what am I doing 24/7 in front of a computer?"
Before AI, you had to work through all that alone.
But with AI, you can just dump everything on your mind and have it respond, help you organize, and really settle. your thoughts. Which is amazing.
The discussion about the increase in solopreneurs is often about productivity, but I think it is also (and maybe more) about mental stability.
Built "Finder on steroids" with Claude Code.
I've always struggled to find references I saw weeks ago. Browser bookmarks didn't work because I wanted to pass raw files to AI.
So, I built a software where I can:
- Dump any file in
- Have AI embed the file
- Search by relevance
- Multi-select and hand over reference to AI
works with pdf, Youtube videos, X posts etc.
Managing information this way creates serendipity. AI surfaces articles and files you'd never think to look for.
Products should go beyond "just works" to "doing something beyond expectation."
I am super happy that someone across the sea is pointing this out.
We are forgetting the lessons we had learned during COVID. How precious our day-to-day was. How transient it can be.
Of course, competition is important. With every other competitor moving as fast as they can, no one wants to lose the arms race.
However, being human comes from the subtlest of moments. If we neglect those moments and run off, we will be on an express train to a future without warmth, love, respect, and everything that defines us as people.
Really take in those moments. Unify yourself with the outer world. Never abandon what’s most important.
You rarely solve hard problems in a flash of insight. It's more typically a slow, careful process of exploring a branching tree of possibilities. You must pause, backtrack, and weigh every alternative.
You can't fully do this in your head, because your working memory is too limited. Writing is the external medium that affords the time and precision necessary.
Serious thinking must be done in writing. And that's why you can't outsource your writing, because then you're outsourcing your thinking.
Built my own blogging site using the framework
@waynesutton
made!
I had been using the supabase/vercel stack, but convex/netlify stack felt much easier to config.
I finally was able to bring together my Japanese and English articles (done with opus, super fast), which was personally really important to me.
Built a markdown CMS inspired by @leerob's post.
- @convex backend for real-time updates
- @Netlify hosting with instant deploys
- Clean markdown editing experience
- Copy as markdown for pages and blog posts
