I want to make software that makes me smarter

I just got one of the dumbest bits of marketing spam ever from @AgentOpsAI. It talks about 'your CrewAi project beagleboard-i2c on GitHub'. The project hasn't been touched for 14 years, so no possibility that it uses CrewAi :)

@substack In the last few days, I seem to have lost the ability to upload drafts in HTML format and there seems to be way of chatting online to help. Am I missing something?

@zsviczian I love your work, and am happily using your techniques to visually summarise my kindle library. I may yet move from @logseq to @Obsidian just to use your plug-in.

@zsviczian I've signed up for your newsletter using the link on X, but when I tried earlier using this morning's email from Kofi, that had a broken link.

@NextBigIdeaClub You've billed me twice for my annual subscription. How do I get in touch to sort that out?

@NathanLands o3 is a long way from AGI. I asked it to come up with a circuit for me this morning. It offered to create an image, which was ridiculously wrong. It's still a probabilistic pattern matcher with a little 'reasoning' but no understanding

I'm looking forward to tonight's Raspberry Pint event, where I'll be talking about running a local copy of the @SemanticScholar database on a @Raspberry_Pi with a @pimoroni nvme HAT. It's online, so do drop by if you can!

ChatGPT-4o continues to impress. Today I asked it to carry out a database refactoring, update a SQLAlchemy model and write migration code.
It did it.
Here's the detailed request:

[Romilly Cocking @romillyc]

Can you please create SQL to create the new tables, modify the model to reflect the new tables and foreign keys, and write Python code to populate the new tables.
