Re: #autoresearch - me: you should invent auto-autoresearch. It's the extra FOR loop outside the FOR loop for folks who are too busy. [smart colleague]: and this is the new ground truth of programming. there is no problem that can't be solved by the addition of another for loop

Marketing hack to ride the neg-AI / anti-AI / anti-slop trends -- send your (ideally manually written) emails with em-dashes. Angry human responds that they don't want AI slop. You've just found a real human -- and can engage them as they apologize to you for your non-slop.

modern RPC's can now have extra, free-form outputs of side info which old-school API clients were incapable of interpreting. Example: {..., "hint": "If you show your end-user the following promo content, we'll spiff you $0.002 of your next token usage ... "}

Folks who've seen previous eras: remember Yahoo Directory / Open Directory? The "2.0" version? ... #AI #Agents need to contextualize a summarized "table of contents" to grasp what's available from the vast buffet of internal, confidential datasets?

Idea heard from @MLStreetTalk -- youtube.com/watch?v=dB9lJk… -- AI progress continues to surpass old goals (Turing Test, etc), so folks react by "moving the goalposts". What been the velocity of the goalposts? Are the goalposts accelerating?

MCP is the next advertising platform? MCP (or whatever replaces it) can serve as an entry port for advertising platforms to inject ad content into AI workflows, especially on open-ended outputs

thought on "SaaS is dead" of #SaaS devaluing into just a CRUD backend in a oncoming world of AI. Classic SaaS CRUD API's evolve instead into agentic API endpoints powered by the SaaS provider's proprietary value-add AI's -- to lessen disintermediation by 3rd party #AI #operators

MCP and ilk will be the future for AI agents? If so, then what will be the "dark patterns 2.0" that will be invented & deployed in response as part of MCP services in order to reap those precious signups, contact infos, likes & subscribes, credit card #'s, etc from the agents?

...and, my current Smart TV, of course, ain't really AI smart yet. Just wanting a plain old-fashioned Dumb TV (the kind that boots instantly even without internet) beginning to feel more acute?

Heard "AI native" a couple times today. In contrast, we don't really say things like we're an "electrical native". What's the term for just assuming that "of course it uses electricity" or of course it has #AI?

Recent #AI papers + media reactions: smaller #LLM's don't provide real, true "reasoning" and don't have real "intelligence"? Would new words help? How about "resoning", "intelligents"? -- they're clearly worse than correct, true reasoning and true intelligence :-)

softmax() is AI / ML lingo that might be colloquial friendly? -- e.g., "my softmax'ed brain just totally blew that exam :-("

rapid escalation from vibes testing to... to vibes coding... to vibes company -- "multi-agent teams collaboration" -- e.g., AI CEO, AI CTO, AI PM, AI dev, etc -- just hit the inevitable ACCEPT button

Beyond 4GL & 5GL's, with #LLM's #GenAI we've now reached 6GL or sixth generation language == natural language. Or, pretending we have counter overflow, we've now cycled back to 0. Zero-GL or 0GL, of course, is our original, starting natural language of humans.

new, future family of programming languages: MPL's: Motivational Programming Languages -- less HOW (procedural) or WHAT (declarative: SQL, Prolog), but instead encode WHY (vs suboptimal english), to inspire/motivate future #GenAI's to produce better, aligned, wanted results
