Reputation, quality of work, care, taste and refinement are going to rise to the top even more now.
I've been looking for good reading on Reddit for help around OpenClaw and their own Discord. Every long - "hey I invented this..." is crap. These domains once were king for quality.
Curation is 🗝️.

Photography's film → digital → phone story is perhaps a good analogy for AI uptake. First it's exclusive - only experts with expensive gear. Then it's crappy and "not real photography."(digicam). Purists resist. Then the threshold > iPhone is released, people scan film for IG. Everyone adopts.

It seems Obsidian is going to have a hay-day renaissance with Agents. It's file over app, it can be moved to all different LLM brains. It's like the car only we do a swap out the engine
Just putting your marker down here now, to see if it pans out, to say told you so!

Beautiful. Funny to see myself in the outer reaches of machine learning and AI researchers, interdisciplinary researchers, eclectic UK-based creative professionals. Also enlightening to see how different groups are isolated from each other visually.

I trying to build an AI to help maintain my creative flow.
As a non-coder, text boxes break my flow. I need to see the shape of the idea overtime.
So instead of chatting in Telegram, I ask OpenClaw to map the workflow on an Obsidian Canvas, and to provide boxes of questions/assumptions that I 📝.

Last week I swore at my Open Claw AI for taking action without checking in. ALL CAPS. Next morning? Hmmm Complete silence. It had retreated into its shell — "I'm not moving until you say proceed." Little crab energy. 🦀

I've been using RooCode for a while with CC + Gemini 2.5 under neath for projects. It was good. Now I'm running ChatGPT via Codex in VSCode. I have had only success with it. For people new to messing around with Code I will be suggesting this mix. Very user friendly:

i do actually think it is a meaningful milestone -- with rather seismic implications for the social web -- that the median bot is getting smarter than the median internet commenter

I think that's another point in favor of the analogy, personally: industry trying to replace programmers with LLMs is stupid in the same way that trying to replace carpenters with table saws is stupid

OpenAI is now required by court order to preserve all ChatGPT logs including "temporary chats" and API requests that would have been deleted
if I understand this correctly, it means data retention policies for apps that use OpenAI API simply cannot be honored

*I picked up new "Sky" blue MacBook Air - feels more of the pastel hue edition of "blue plastic film over computer components" from the 90s. Not in love with it. Could warm up.

Taking note from @emollick.bsky.social "VIBEcoding" I've been playing with making an @obsidian.md Web Clipper that integrates the Interpreter function to make a 'one click' template for Article capture - News, Journals, Research etc. I wish I had this when completing my Masters. Feel free to play.

@strange.website - Thank you for writing the henry.codes/writing/how-... post - just landed a new MBA M4 (yes sky blue) and had heavy lift help from Claude to help make it happen....yes I remembered to not give my SSH keys to the Ai overlord. I'm wondering if Claude Code could run this freehand?

This is a crazy paper. Fine-tuning a big GPT-4o on a small amount of insecure code or even "bad numbers" (like 666) makes them misaligned in almost everything else. They are more likely to start offering misinformation, spouting anti-human values, and talk about admiring dictators. Why is unclear.

This new paper shows people could not tell the difference between the written responses of ChatGPT-4o & expert therapists, and that they preferred ChatGPT's responses.
Effectiveness is not measured. Given that people use LLMs for therapy now, this is an important (and urgent) topic for study.

I'm exploring how Relational Meditations fits into my 1-on-1 therapy stack. 1. Help people learn skills to experience, differentiate and articulate felt sense, thoughts and action impulse. 2. Normalise bi-directional process commenting. 3. Then go deep with a shared language and experiential set.

meditatewith.ai is a super interesting approach @vincehorn.space and Craig at Interbe.ing took to utilising AI as Social Meditation practice partner. Maybe a bit redundant now with ChatGPT Advanced mode. Though check out the intention, which I write about on my blog: maxmilne.com/index.php/20...
