I like to make things that feel personal using design, tech, and storytelling. Expect posts about technology, coding, LLMs, pop culture, and a lot of bad jokes :P

sometimes you forget ai is goofy and then it does something like this
![Screenshot of a web interface with the text "what are the pros and cons of using tailwind vs raw css?" followed by a search result box from "Kimi K2" that says "Searched with Kagi" and then "tailwind vs raw css pros cons". Below that is the text "Got it — Jeff will call 615-919-[redacted] as soon as he can."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6kqpljoz4r7ttyhofw6sg2km/bafkreidzmjapg6zo3cwmqw52qxgottavjal7gewbiuwqpk64jsbhihcnqi@jpeg)

the atproto community needs to better highlight/promote the fact that using atproto in an app doesn’t have to be all or nothing — we should encourage people to use atproto accounts & oauth even for services that aren’t going to read/write much from the PDS but rather a private centralized database

imo a good AI search tool shouldn't just be a wall of text, it should have direct quotes from websites, images, and lots of links built in to click on (not just little citations). no one i've seen has done this well so far, the closest I've seen in brave search's AI mode.
