we are letting ai help us build dangerously faster
i was really thinking about this
there are two dimensions: creativity and logical reasoning
creativity is the reframing of our memories and experiences, put together toward a selfish outcome that we call .. new
logic is making sense of that creativity through sequential steps
so maybe the problem isn’t that ai gets us to the destination faster
maybe it’s that we’re guilty of skipping the journey that once made the destination meaningful
we dail and forget
maybe we’re the last generation that thinks knowing how to code means actually writing code
just as using a phone stopped requiring us to remember numbers
we spent the past few years giving ai access to software
now we’re giving it access to machines
robot arms, microscopes, lab equipment
anthropic is basically building mcp for hardware
software got an api for agents.
now the physical world is getting one too
are we playing the classic chinese whisper nowadays
ai inference is a circle of kids passing notes
each agent seems to guess from the last message
context debt is compounding errors
the world feels more connected than ever, but mostly in the realm of screens. turning that digital closeness into real presence, trust, and shared physical life may be one of the defining human skills of this era.
ai is quietly moving back onto our computers
apple launched m6
feels like the next wave of ai apps will be local first by default
for most use cases we might not need the cloud at all
