i’m less concerned about this now. i experienced deep flow vibecoding yesterday. in some ways it was actually deeper than manual coding because (when it worked well) i was able to explore ideas and directions that would normally take me days (due to lack of domain knowledge, boilerplate etc)

the thing i'm worried about is whether AI will decimate the "flow states" of knowledge work. i realize this is very selfish. i enjoy being in a flow state. i don't want to constantly be babysitting an unlearning intern who repeatedly violates instructions. even if they eventually produce good work

What do you guys think of the outlook emoji reaction feature where we can respond to an email with something like a thumbs up or a heart? I kind of like it because it makes a bureaucratic genre more humane, but I also wonder if to some people, this feature seems a little out of place :D

This is the craziest genre-map of musical sub-genres on the internet. Will take a lifetime to explore this. What a treasure! everynoise.com

Each sub-genre you select also leads to a spotify playlist of artists you can explore!

What does an actually useful, ethically built AI agent look like in the wild—outside the hype? I talk with USF librarians Evan Fruehauf & LeEtta Schmidt about LINK—their 24/7 reference chatbot that they built with Microsoft Copilot Studio. Watch here: youtu.be/Z3zBU9bOQxw

AIDevs, anyone tried both @googleaistudio and @Azure AI Foundry? Which platform do you think is more beginner friendly?

A new digital genre is the youtube thumnbail which plays a major role in whether a user clicks on video or not. I've heard a few influencers now talking about how much time they spend on designing it. I wonder if we are teaching about it in our TPC classes or talking about it in our scholarship 🤔
