AI Dad

Dad figuring out AI in real life.
Building better ways to think, learn, and experiment with AI.

[AI Dad @AI_Dad_Notes]

I’m a dad figuring out AI as it shows up in real life.

Testing ideas, building small systems, and trying to understand how it’s changing the way we think.

Learning in public.

Curious > certain.

[AI Dad @AI_Dad_Notes]

I’ve spent months building systems to stay organized.

My daughter just screams when she needs something.

Her success rate is currently much higher than mine.

@smiko_builds I’ve seen the same. Guard rails.

[AI Dad @AI_Dad_Notes]

Context is king.

[AI Dad @AI_Dad_Notes]

@brightafia Just like an employee, you have to train it and give it context. Most of the issues I have had come down to something I missed.

[AI Dad @AI_Dad_Notes]

I heard something yesterday that said something along the lines of...

sometimes the dream survives because it never leaves the planning stage. Reality is where the dream has to earn its place.

and it hit close to home. It’s easy to live in the planning stage under the guise of perfectionism.

If you have something to start, start it. Something to ship, ship it.

@naturedotcom One would one wouldn’t.

@danmartell I heard something today that said something along the lines of... sometimes the dream survives because it never leaves the planning stage. Reality is where the dream has to earn its place.

@icanvardar insert some punny post about worms and early bird specials here

@MattTrifilo @icanvardar "Two little mice fell into a bucket of cream. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned, but the second mouse, he struggled so hard that he eventually churned that cream into butter and he walked out." *in my best Christopher Walken voice*

[AI Dad @AI_Dad_Notes]

@gregisenberg a play straight from the ADHD playbook.

[AI Dad @AI_Dad_Notes]

@PeterDiamandis Garbage in, garbage out.

[AI Dad @AI_Dad_Notes]

@naturedotcom Never start.

[AI Dad @AI_Dad_Notes]

@JonBuildsHQ Consistency compounds. Congrats!

[AI Dad @AI_Dad_Notes]

@RoyInProgress Honestly, I don't. I stay in my lane, try to avoid FOMO, and listen to podcasts or watch YouTube videos by people who know more than I do and hope that's enough.

[AI Dad @AI_Dad_Notes]

@IAmSandroSaric Your competition pool is never as large as it seems to be. Most people never finish what they start. Stay consistent.

[AI Dad @AI_Dad_Notes]

@AndyLibavius Let's hope that never comes to fruition.

[AI Dad @AI_Dad_Notes]

I thought AI was going to help me get more organized.

Instead it exposed the fact that I create side quests for myself.

Every project now has lore.

@JonBuildsHQ Manual file separation, naming, and saving.
