@suekhim I have a 12 year old wanting to jump into Algebra. Would love to try!

@shipwithjay @HarshBuilds_1 Amazing. Are you building mobile or desktop first?

@Hokuto_Ide Hokuto, so great to connect here. Can you share what's happening with the Church in Japan?

In the AI space, here's what I'm noticing: the cutting edge is becoming a cliff.

Small business owners and indie developers are building AI-powered solutions, thinking they've found their edge. And they have, until then a major LLM just... adds that feature for free.

Claude gets smarter. ChatGPT expands. Gemini integrates deeper. And overnight, the thing you built your business around is now a checkbox in someone else's free tier.

Even AI companies themselves go from cutting edge to much less relevant with a single model update. The disruption is eating itself.

What does that mean for how we think about building anything? How does this affect long-term sustainability of any company?

@Conor_D_Dart was trying to fix to no avail...glad it's not just me!

@ChristmasPierce Wow. I love that, what a valuable way to share expertise and wisdom with the next generation.

We didn't invent apprenticeship. We abandoned it for seventy years and called that progress.

The conditions that made it necessary are back. Work is changing too fast for four-year programs to keep up. The guild model is having a renaissance and most people haven't noticed.

@_loganlee Telegram. And then spin up sub channels.

@J_dev363 @jessegenet @openclaw I switched so I wouldn't get banned but it's too $$ on Claude API.

@jessegenet @J_dev363 @openclaw Jesse, cool to see another mom in this space! I was cruising until claude subscription was banned. I've trie other models but it's not great. What are you using?

"Why sing complaints? Wasn’t God glorified when we were confident and joyful in Him? Isn’t the Christian song one of victory, not despair?" @KaraDedert @Tabletalk https://t.co/Cj0c7IM3zr

@jordymaui Thanks for this, tho I'm curious of the benefits of a Mac Mini (bigger cost investment) as opposed to paying a small monthly fee with a VPS.

Hi Katie, I built my own agent using Claude code terminal to create and hosting it on a private server connected to telegram.

https://t.co/PEeyyNISZo was my help desk with screenshots, code and command help. I started adding tools and workflows one by one. Knowing work goals and working backwards from that has made a natural path in developing the agent.

A good word from the Puritan, John Owen, on bearing with one another’s faults:

When your brother offends you, restrain your heart until you take a faithful view of the patience and forbearance of God toward you, and then consider His command to you to go and do likewise.

Let us then, put on all tenderness of affection and heartfelt compassion towards one another, as becomes saints.

Let pity (not envy), mercy (not malice), patience (not passion), Christ (not flesh), grace (not nature), pardon (not spite or revenge) be our guides and companions in our life’s walk.

Truth. But I'd say further, techbros love tech for the sake of tech. While creatives love the possibilities and new frontiers possible because of figuring out tech.

I going to write up an article on "AI and homeschooling" but here's a quick thought:

People (mostly STEM) who view creativity *as a means to solve problems* love using AI to brainstorm.

People (mostly humanties) who view creativity *as an end* hate using AI to brainstorm.
