wrote a few thoughts about what we lose now that we don't write the code ourselves, and do we get our flow back

There’s hope in hard questions.

The amount of AI writing on OpenAI's docs makes me sick. Filler sentences for nothing. Mannerisms and phrases humans would not write. Has a human even read this? And all of this will change how other docs are written, and how we all talk - for the worse IMO. 🤮

i thought this was satire, kept looking for the handle to be spelled c1audeai or something

PSA: The Hoffman Process retreat is transformative and I recommend it 10/10

MCCONNELL releases a photo - and statement. “To my fellow Kentuckians –    “When you elected me to a seventh term and made me our Commonwealth’s longest serving Senator, you did so trusting that I’d keep showing up to fight for you every day. And over the past several weeks, Elaine and I have appreciated both your well wishes and your honest questions about what was keeping me away from the Senate.   “You all know how folks of my generation often hesitate to share the vulnerability that comes with growing older. Even in the public eye, I feel that same instinct – I can’t help it.   “But at the same time, I’ve had more than my share of experience with physical vulnerabilities. Surviving childhood polio meant spending my entire life with mobility challenges. They haven’t exactly gotten easier to manage with age. And last month, I took a fall which landed me in the hospital.   “My doctors have confirmed that I didn’t break any bones or suffer a concussion. I didn’t have a heart attack or a stroke. I don’t have any tumors or hemorrhages. But I was briefly unconscious and was taken to the hospital. While receiving excellent care over the past several weeks, I’ve also had to deal with a mild case of pneumonia.   “I can assure you that I’ve been a good patient. At my age, I tend to do what my doctors tell me to do. I’ve submitted to every test they can think of to help figure out what caused this incident. And I’m continuing to do everything they ask to speed my recovery. In fact, with signs of continued progress, I’ve been able to move from hospital care to a rehabilitation center where I’ll keep regaining my strength.   “As much as it frustrates me, this process takes time. And on the advice of my doctors, I won’t be able to return to the Senate floor to vote quite yet. But rest assured that, in the meantime, I’m not taking a break from the Senate business that matters to you. I’ve been working closely with my legislative staff on current issues, and with my Kentucky team who help me provide timely constituent services across our Commonwealth. I’ve also been keeping in touch with my Senate colleagues on the appropriations process, midterm politics, and everything in between.   “You’re right to expect your representatives to work hard for you. And part of my decision to retire at the end of my term this coming January was being honest about the demands of Senate work. But I still have unfinished business to complete on your behalf, and I have every intention of finishing the job you elected me to do.   “I’ll keep working hard to get back on the Senate floor as soon as possible. And I’ll keep you posted on the progress of my recovery. Until then, I’m so grateful for your prayers and well wishes.”

parents told me i should email Tarantino and ask to work on his sets for a film job. "even if you're just bringing people their coffee, it's a way in!"

dear claude code & codex teams, please, for the love of god, where is my executive super assistant that has: (1) a deep understanding of me via great memory, just pack 200k context with every chat. you can build this personal store from past chats, but also i'll just give you all my data, respond to 100 different personal questions, give you all my Apple Notes and iMessage (2) a no-chat interface. i don't want something that forgets me everytime, that i have to skip to the right chat. just ditch chats! its all one chat history, same as a real assistant. compaction and retrieval cannot be that hard (3) i can trust to reasonable certainty with my credit cards, info, email access, etc. and i can delegate to go do things for me. i just want something that can book a flight, hotel, refill my runpod credits, update all my old passwords, cancel all unused subscriptions (4) it is good at pinging me by sending me a text when i need to answer something for it or do something it can't. good back and forth communication. it also can't die all the time. i do think the idea of 'responses' is wrong, it should just always be 'on' in idle mode, ready to act on scheduled tasks. it should have lots of webhooks/awaits, for example, maybe it should text me everytime i receive an important email that needs my attention. a small model can scan everything and then call a tool to wake up BIGGER ASKS: (5) please let it call people for me. go schedule drs. appointments, sit on hold for me, etc. same with access to imessage/email etc on just handling things for me that i don't want to care about. (6) computer use that doesn't interrupt my work (works on another desktop on my mac/its own windows?) and is faster than me at filling forms and doing things. like how are models slower than me at typing and filling out forms than me still! i will pay you $5k a month minimum for this. if you need me to buy some physical hardware or rent some cloud thing that's fine. i'm fine with taking on some security risk, it's that valuable, you take risk with a human EA too chatgpt almost feels deprecated as a product compared to codex now. like models in codex are significantly less helpless and more capable than chatgpt, such that i don't want to use chat anymore (other than as a google replacement). plz fix or just build an integrated experience - will
