navigating the intelligence between thought and form | Intuition is the interface | Creative Technologist @loopearplugs |

bruteclauding a semantic design system for my brand world with cursor

► thoughtform: navigating language and strategy
► atlas: navigating worldbuilding & aesthetics
► astrolabe: navigating knowledge and keynotes

It all started with the insight that "AI sees meaning a geometry you can navigate through", which I've been trying to encode into design primitives and tokens starting with a grid system inspired by navigational interfaces

now building a design navigation system that uses embeddings to match design references to my existing components

i've been obsessed with design and interfaces my entire adult life, but never had the skillset to do anything with

the fact I've already gotten this far without any coding experience or design background is insanely validating, but also speaks to how good models have become (especially Opus 4.5)

makes the $100 i almost spend per day on the ultra plan worth it (but maybe Santa can sprinkle some credits through my chimney @ericzakariasson 😇)

@Berlinworlds @theo I usually play Diablo dungeon or WoW mythic while I'm waiting for my agents to finish and I wanted my gaming - claude experience to feel consistent

but it's mainly to see how far i can push AI from the median design

[Vince Buyssens @voidwalker_com]

Thanks for the compliment❤️

I just love pushing Claude out of its traditional frontend design patterns and see if it can create a consistent brand system and components out of a very overwhelming and dominant aesthetic

@voidwalker_com This is the ugliest thing I've seen in my entire life

[Vince Buyssens @voidwalker_com]

@davidim why would you not just build your own wrapper inside Claude with the direct api's in your .env file?

[Vince Buyssens @voidwalker_com]

@trq212 don't know why im building this

[Vince Buyssens @voidwalker_com]

working with agents feels increasingly like making pacts with demons so might as well build the proper TUI for it 👿

[Vince Buyssens @voidwalker_com]

Biggest adoption unlock is framing AI not as software but rather an 'intelligence' that sits between a tool and a collaborator

Usually takes some calibration because people can only think in two categories (software = IT / people = HR), but sits on a spectrum in between

So the question isn't which model to use or how many tokens one is allowed to spend, but rather how should intelligence participate in your work?

[Vince Buyssens @voidwalker_com]

Interesting observation from my experience: AI is superhuman at images, websites and motion design but sucks at creating static ads that look optically good

I guess it's because every ad always looks different because the design is determined by the creative concept, product, etc

It eventually gets there with some hard prompting / evals, but goddamn it takes a lot of effort

[Vince Buyssens @voidwalker_com]

@lucas__crespo don't think they'll ever do that im afraid :(

letting claude prompt gpt image / nano banana with the help of skills / evals has been the biggest gamechanger for my work and i really wish I could do the same for midjourney

begging @stripe once again to cure my depression by allowing me to automatically collect invoices via @link

i really don't understand why i have to manually log into billing portals for invoices that uses the same credit card / email address / stripe account

@Black_ @Kurrco Love in the Sky is one of the most sensual songs ever made

[Vince Buyssens @voidwalker_com]

Thank you for writing this, super pertinent! AI is the first technology ever that sits between a tool and collaborator, and businesses don't know how to deal with this tbh. It's either software (IT) or a person (HR); and this new paradigm is creating mindfucks everywhere

An interesting observation made in one of the @DrJohnVervaeke podcasts is that we kinda lost the ability to deal with stuff that transcends us and we don't fully understand, but which is something religion actually taught us to do well.

Not making an argument for more religion, but from my experience doing AI adoption I've gotten more mileage out of my background in journalism, literature, philosophy etc than any prompting framework

@pulpandart @nathanrobii @JamesBousema It's probably the technicolor right? Really breathtaking

[Vince Buyssens @voidwalker_com]

@CultureCrave Do D&D Warlocks summon demons?

[Vince Buyssens @voidwalker_com]

@Stiven_SRB any Warlock one good ser?

[Vince Buyssens @voidwalker_com]

@Eternal11th hahaha

[Vince Buyssens @voidwalker_com]

@AVPAlo one of my favorite horror movies of all time; it captured the original Alien vibe so well. Not everyone may like The Offspring, but it was utterly unexpected.

a bit worried about the sequel without Fede attached because you could really see his passion in it

[Vince Buyssens @voidwalker_com]

@TheCinesthetic The atmosphere was absolutely impeccable and did NOT see The Offspring coming. A true homage to the original ones.
