Reflect on how you are interacting with unfamiliar things in your life. The way you are developing a relationship with these uncommon things is shaping your approach to creating things.

@tldraw I’ll take a look!

[M.Erdem Koç @merdemkoc]

Intuition is the first phenomenological sign of a structural mismatch between a novel situation and existing mental representations.

[M.Erdem Koç @merdemkoc]

An "expert" doesn't necessarily have more knowledge. Their knowledge is organized differently.

[M.Erdem Koç @merdemkoc]

Thinking cannot be separated from forms of representation.

[M.Erdem Koç @merdemkoc]

To solve a problem is often to discover the right representation.

[M.Erdem Koç @merdemkoc]

Reasoning is the simulation of internal representations.

[M.Erdem Koç @merdemkoc]

Clear thinking begins with knowing what level of abstraction you’re on.

[M.Erdem Koç @merdemkoc]

They may have other ideas they haven't revealed yet. I'm only commenting on what they've shared so far. From my perspective, the "augmentation" vein frames the human-machine relationship as a medium for collaboration. With that framing, there's much more...

[M.Erdem Koç @merdemkoc]

I think the starting point is right. But I'm not convinced human-AI interaction will be solved by an interface that simply organizes information better. Intuitively, I think we need an abstraction beyond today's input/output paradigm.

It's time to get out of stealth 👋

Today, we are launching @monogram_ai and announcing our $40m seed round led by DST and Lux Capital.

Monogram is the first AI app that was built around a visual interface, from the ground up.

We created a technology that generates an entire user interface on the fly, in just a few seconds. Ask anything, and instead of staring at a wall of text, you get an interactive visual response.

I just realized they mentioned the PC milestone in their manifesto. GenUI might be part of laying the foundation for how humans and AI will interact. But I don't think it's the whole answer... It might be part of the bigger picture, but I'm not sure how significant that part is.

I just found an incredibly underrated album by accident. https://t.co/YOWlppGjs4

[M.Erdem Koç @merdemkoc]

Clear thinking with psychological safety, durable abstractions without overthinking, fast information flow without sacrificing accuracy, low coordination costs without losing alignment, and strong coherence create the conditions from which speed naturally emerges.

[M.Erdem Koç @merdemkoc]

What I think the dominant "move fast" culture overlooks: Speed is not something you optimize directly. It's an emergent property of a well-designed system.

[M.Erdem Koç @merdemkoc]

Slow down where you're shaping the system. Move fast where the system already provides clarity. Craft and speed are not opposites they are expressions of the same system at different timescales.

[M.Erdem Koç @merdemkoc]

Each tool discloses a world; and each manner of world-disclosure produces a particular kind of human being.

[M.Erdem Koç @merdemkoc]

Problems aren’t objective realities; they are framed interpretations.

[M.Erdem Koç @merdemkoc]

Slow where mistakes compound, fast where learning compounds.

[M.Erdem Koç @merdemkoc]

If ADHD were an album, this would probably be it.
