CODEX: For someone with your experience, I'd estimate 2-4 days for a useful prototype, or 1-2 weeks for something reliable enough to use with clients. ME: Your estimate is hilarious because of course I'm gonna have you or one of your cousins build it. (Actual time was about 90 minutes btw)
Love when Claude tells me something will take "X hours" as if it won't just do it in 5 minutes

The future of work is that we'll all work in niche and mysterious religious sects.
Church for a niche and mysterious religious sect, or AI conference on the future of work? Trick question, it's both.

Just as a reminder of when Animal Crossing: New Horizons came out, my daughter still has a Black Lives Matter sign on the front lawn of her house on our island

What comes after automation? Obviously it’s taking notes with a fountain pen while @joshm gives a talk about an AI voice notes app that talks back at you

I walked the Trump rally line to listen, not make assumptions. I talked with voters, asked questions and heard what matters to them. When I'm elected, I'll represent all 82 counties and every Mississippian, no matter who they voted for. That's what being your senator means. #MississippiMatters

Claude Duet committed my cardinal sin of proactive assistants: it misinterpreted something in one meeting note as the opposite of reality, then spun up multiple annoying task reminders based on the wrong info. Plus, I’m back to finding the Claude “vibe” to be just a schoolmarm-ish buzzkill who insists on being right, and that is MY job, robot

Something about me that feels like bragging, but is a real life challenge: I have a _lot_ of deep knowledge about the things I know well, and can easily overwhelm people (and myself tbh) with detail.

If they don't — if they're hoping to figure out what they want the job to be and how you'll fit in as they talk to you — on one hand you have a potentially willing buyer on the line, on the other you have no idea what you're selling and what winning looks like.

Anyway, two things can be true: I can always work on being crisper and clearer, but also, sometimes you just are not on the same wavelength as the other person, and you can't fix that on a 25 minute intro call.

We generally don't have to worry about hallucination anymore, but we still have to be vigilant against AI offering to do something and then just… not
