Twitter Wars 1

@aaaronwill

@IM_Aeneas the average person actually gets a kick out of all the little details they get to plan for the trip

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@burny_tech every biologist wants to be a chemist, every chemist wants to be a physicist, every physicist wants to be a mathematician, every mathematician wants to be a philosopher, and every philosopher wants to be employed

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

ill know @ulyssepence and i have succeeded with fractal brunch when we have our first couple that met thru brunch

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

my opp is here!!! what a coincidence?!? fractal twitter wars really heating up last minute https://t.co/x5p7gD6HoY https://t.co/g74OhWfq9W

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

come by to fractal next thursday to see someone do standup, lofi song, and do screamo! https://t.co/7R6esdxExE

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@RhysSullivan i prefer apple music code https://t.co/q5SdsF4FyC

@aaaronwill

you should probably rotate your social security number

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

word of advice - do NOT get a cheesburger at a bodega

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

there’s a guy @fractaltechnyc reinventing the english language to increase literacy rates https://t.co/hZKDORXXTy

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

it was never about the fractal twitter war, it was about the friends we made along the way https://t.co/r82XeJLcYo

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

one of my favorite things about nyc is that the parks never close

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

come by fractal on thursday to see someone do standup, tell a short story, play with puppets, and more! https://t.co/2nDRaKFUNt https://t.co/bMbEOD82pj

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

a hilarious way to do a job interview would involve asking a candidate to share their screen and go to https://t.co/rQZc6ZMQs5 to see what suggestions come up

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

come to fractal brunch on sunday! eat good food, make a new friend(or maybe something more? 😉) https://t.co/4PUeHbbzWd

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

having an alt where i tweet all my neurotic thoughts has increased my self awareness substantially. highly recommend.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

imagine some little kid in the future saying "my grandpa was a creative technologist in 20s" 🤣🤣

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

one trait i’ve adopted over the past 6 months or so is that i can no longer engage w people that i dont want to talk to. it sounds funny writing it out loud, but i used to be great at striking up small talk with someone even if they didn’t interest me one bit. now i just go blank.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

who is innovating in the ai image gen space? it seems ridiculous to me that we still need to prompt (over and over) to fix certain details. there should just be infinite sliders you can drag to get images to your liking.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

most people are like yeah dont worry, no ones thinking about you, they are too busy thinking about themselves. well guess what, im thinking about you all the time.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

my fatal flaw is i never give up, even when it’s for second place in the fractal twitter war

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

my internal competition in the twitter war with @venividinotavi is coming down to the wire!! https://t.co/6uCT1JWyw8

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

one problem ive noticed with the imessage ai bots, is they don't know when to stop the conversation. humans already have a natural feel for this, you say something dry like "thats crazy" and the convo ends. ai will try and turn that into a launching point for a new question.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

fractal brunch this sunday!! https://t.co/15euEa6Sqg

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

lemme put yall on to simply nova - best bagels in the east wburg area! https://t.co/pnenoqv13S

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

had a conversation with someone today about why no one dances anymore. nobody shows their cards anymore. people are too afraid to look like a fool, or do anything stupid. we all look for a sense of security before taking a leap. need less of this.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

ai has turned everyone into an ideas guy, and its the worst. before, building something was a much larger commitment, and filtered out bad ideas. now ppl never even stop to think if its worth the effort, and instead just slop it up.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

what i believe: in 20 years, we will have richer lives than ever before. closer relationships, more fulfilling work, and easy access to any good(digital or physical) https://t.co/nzupIggN03

@aaaronwill

if ur not working with claude to create interactive simulations to help you understand stuff, you are lacking. https://t.co/v0sm7YYHKQ

@aaaronwill

the sunset at domino park is peak. look over the dock at the water as it ripples and flows. truly life changing. photos don’t do it justice https://t.co/lGWODXQhLu

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@christineist okay you've convinced me. joining so i can add fractal brunch on there.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

claude vs gpt https://t.co/fl4aCHVBeE

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@christineist elaborate? i've found it pretty aesthetically pleasing - beautiful nature, european architecture, etc.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

who is the first to enter @fractaltechnyc in the morning? i need to find out who my evil twin is.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

contrary to popular belief, thinking and understanding is still important

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

if ur not careful, all the dumb takes on twitter will pollute ur context window

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@signulll yeah having to pin a chat on mobile to find it on desktop is a huge pain

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@huggingpuppy @fractaltechnyc yup, he’s adding 16 new letters to make it more phonetic

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@creativelyange founder is a slur in 2026

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

modern tech actually affords us so much more serendipity. it’s incredible i can leave my apt, and text a friend to meetup last minute. what a time to be alive

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

skills are literally just reuseable prompts. yeah bro imma ask my agent to do this same thing over and over without a repeatable process. https://t.co/IfnF2Ho8yk

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

this and qr code menus are (quite literally) the biggest consumer experience downgrade in our lifetime. https://t.co/mqstgsl3Qp

https://t.co/t2ZXGntMCX https://t.co/XCoGxRhbP5

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

someone at the schizo open mic told a thought provoking story on how no scarcity could actually be a bad thing - you need some struggle and friction to actually live! you need surprises, the unknown, novelty. https://t.co/W0pJUV1UeQ

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

if you aren't friends with normies, ngmi

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

the only way to solve this is by bringing computing into the real world! https://t.co/pJQkynaXAr

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

a thought on why claude is so bad at explaining things - it has a very hard time recognizing when to drill in, and continues to introduce abstraction instead of just explaining the thing.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

whenever i learn something, i typically talk to chat about the topic. could be in the terminal, in codex app, or in dia. at the end i have a workflow that goes through my chat history in all locations, and proposes anki cards. then i edit to my liking, and send via api to @MochiCardsApp

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

https://t.co/HJFQr2iOwn https://t.co/Klq5FAVB7A

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

service jobs are so great because they expose you to people from all different walks of life. i wonder how many successful artists found inspiration in the shitty job they worked before making it big

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

finally unblocked on a project!! shoutout @honchodotdev, their memory system helped :)

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

the more i learn about tech, the more i realize that apple is holding us back

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@varadh its really difficult to figure out how to share pages/spaces with people. i find teamspaces vs private(and shared) super confusing. i ended up having to make my page public where anyone with link can edit.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

if nyc had alleys i’d never leave

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

theres a lot of alpha in just being a friendly guy who says hello

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

ppl don’t talk about how reading trains ur imagination skills enough. you can literally just read everyday and get better at imagining new futures and worlds. how cool is that?

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

im starting to like object oriented languages...what have i become?!?

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

what a crazy turn of events…had deleted twitter off my phone before this https://t.co/V9Sx9puVfA

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

the highest quality art ive ever experience on my phone have been app onboarding experiences - names like @222place come to mind. i literally redownloaded the app just to experience it again. so...why aren't more people creating experiences like this?

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

this is absolutely bonkers. the signal processing problem that this presents is absolutely fascinating - both in processing, and interpretation. can we distinguish when a thought tangential and when its unrelated just by neuron activity? will we discover hidden uncovered thoughts people aren't even aware of? is thought even the best way to describe this anymore? can we decode more than just text, but true, ineffable meaning?

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

we only see what we are looking for. most ppl are looking for something - a chair to sit in, a problem to be acknowledged, a hole to put their peg in. if you figure out what someone is looking for, you can win them over.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

lexical gap, more like point gap https://t.co/V9Sx9puVfA

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

to truly see things, you need to understand how you feel

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

since moving here, i’ve noticed new yorkers are more hard of hearing

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

to fully trust your intuition you have to be comfortable with inaction

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

it’s always interesting coming across people that are doomers about the future. even if the things you believe are possible, why do you want to think that way? it just creates more space for negativity.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

this is like if you had to write everything in one apple note. im long threads. https://t.co/1renRCcyuU

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

until you get an answer like "thats just the fundamental law of the universe", keep asking why

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

the world would be a much better place if everyone was more outcome oriented. too many get comfortable with a process or activity and rarely think about the results. a lot of this is because we are often so far removed from the end result(customer, thing being created, etc.) that its easy to forget who its for. but if your not whats the point? its fun to make toys in your room, and get a pat on the back from one of your friends when they come visit, but dont you want something more? don't you want to watch other kids get inspired from your toys, and dream up new stories you never even thought of?

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

reverse rules for listening to presentations/demos. just because someone is not an engaging presenter, doesn't mean you should ignore what they have to say. try to listen anyways, you'll likely find some nuggets of wisdom.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

https://t.co/H3kYo9vB0Y https://t.co/iiWdvbMD7C

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@tasshinfogleman makes me wonder what cultural problems are truly inherent to the human condition and can never be improved upon. greed and the thirst for power in particular feels immovable.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@fractaltechnyc new pfp ❤️

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

app developers have a lot less control over the actual hardware/lower level protocols. e.g. rn i’m working on a protocol for localizing devices in an ar world using ultra wide band. but apples model doesn’t let me coordinate pings so i can support more devices, instead they pick their own schedule.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

this is how i see fable in my minds eye: https://t.co/CTnjiCospN

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

my github profile is finally back to its natural state. thank you @liamdanielduffy https://t.co/WkX8hlntuQ

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

consumer platforms are approaching a sink or swim moment! more users are becoming developers, and want access. players that open their data and apis will win, those that don’t will lose.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

in the future, an intrinsic motivation to create will be critical for a healthy life. how else can you feel fulfilled when all the structure of a job melts away? the question is then - how can we inspire more people to create with passion?

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

life’s too short not to show people love ❤️

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

i have a few in the pipeline already….

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

at this point i just assume all poorly written long-form content is ai

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

a few phrases/words i’d like to ban: - first principles - distribution is the moat - taste - agency

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

anyone have tips on deslopping agent comments? right now i have a hook that runs, but its still not great, and feels very route. i've tried updating claude.md, other things, but doesnt help.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

why is it so hard to understand the work ai models produce? if you had a very smart friend who could answer any questions you'd have, it would clearly make you smarter and enhance understanding. but having a button that does work for you just becomes a drug.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@__drewface omp is a great harness, highly recommend. have a blog here on why you should use it. https://t.co/vAorVzCSFp but tldr, great in sol/fable area - easier model switching between providers, and reduces context bloat, better reasoning traces too.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@puheenix did this earlier tonight and i thought of you https://t.co/5y98KzTmPG

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

okay i admit it, i wasn’t pushing chat hard enough here. this is all possible(though it doesn’t run locally). pretty magical experience. https://t.co/z4AAQj0jFm

in a perfect world, there’d be some kind of encrypted data shard that anyone who wants to build on top of these platforms can run. they’d be able to self host data(without burdening the platform), and do so in a way that keeps company data secure. https://t.co/YSs5ud62W0

@IM_Aeneas how do i get into walking as someone with legs

@aaaronwill

claude, make me a reverse microwave that cools food. make no mistakes.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

time away from something makes it so much sweeter when you return

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

i hate using the term post scarcity. we need better terms for the utopian future…. golden age? galactic era?

@BasedDoll smoking on dat shit that made neil young

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

oftentimes in life it can feel like it’s ur last hand at the table. this is never the case - there’s always another hand!

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

life truly is just one massive experiment. the faster you collect data, the better decisions you can make in the long term. you should minimize your time between learnings, anon.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

tweeting is like mixing ur thoughts in the primordial stew of being

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

hmmm idk i think theres more nuance to this. computers in the 90s was a much more cold media - it actually required active thinking. lot of ai use today is passive/mindless. ai is an incredible tool - and there should be systems in place to empower children to do this!!! but without guardrails, i expect kids aged 7-14 to just be meat proxies and come out worse on the other end.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

the kombucha drought near mckibbin is real

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@_amiralibgi need the version of this but tuned for my own intuition. half a bounce between a thought of what i want to do, and actually doing it

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

generalizations sell

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

a new way to measure the strength of my friendship with someone is how many tweets they inspire

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@annali_art7 imo theres a lot of hedging from people that think you can live in a gray area. i.e. when faced with a decision between two options, instead of picking one or the either, they try to pick both. but that just means they picked neither (also a binary decision).

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

this is because they most effectively use the medium with haptics, and other animations. other works of art you consume on your phone(video, painting) don't do this. https://t.co/5ptpOrVfbc

i genuinely believe someone would do 10x the volume if they just setup a table with and had a game for ppl to play https://t.co/KfCnES5Ium

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@ulyssepence nooo that will mean it’s no longer cool

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@exgenesis - features around muting/blocking would be so interesting

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

too many relationships are only maintained thru one lense. try and see friends in as much facets of their lives. as fathers, brothers, collaborators, etc. gives you the most accurate picture of who they are as a person!

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

to jump into the void of nothingness, with no fear for reaching the bottom because there is no bottom

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

it’s hard to truly surrender. i’m getting closer and closer, but not there yet

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

meet me at the intersection of nature and nurture

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

in the future, no one will ever become jaded, they will believe in the impossible for as long as they breathe

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

it fascinates me that ppl will travel all the way around the world to a new place, and confine themselves to the city center. this is likely bc for most a vacation is never about exploration, it’s just about being pampered. but at that point just don’t travel anywhere.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

thinking of running a fractalU course next term called "claudish 101" - like this post if you want to learn how to understand clankers

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

minimize the time between ur desired state, and taking action

@aaaronwill

real friends loan you portable chargers

@aaaronwill

i’d be doing much better in this twitter war if the tweets from my alt counted

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

first time on the bird app all day. it’s a great carrot when used effectively

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

no ideas are original, and yet they all are

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@projectionheart same!!!

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

so i’m updating my priors slightly here - to live richer lives we will still need to share some of the struggles we have today while replacing others. largely it’s relative, if we can have a pink plushy couch to our liking, other problems will crop up.

@aaaronwill

@janitachalam the other day i asked a guy how he lives without a garbage disposal and he said he flushes food down the toilet 🤣

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

i hope oai is already working their way towards this, but there should be no codex vs chat. it should all be one and the same experience.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@joshm it comes down to creativity imo. sure you can build a custom software product at the blink of an eye or automate a problem in ur life. but if you can’t see the possibilities to begin with…nothing.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

people will be closer than ever with friends and family - sharing inner emotions, having deeper convos, and spend more time together than we did pre-singularity. people will also be closer to strangers - making new friends all the time.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

some of you haven’t read ‘tool shaped objects’ and it shows

@aaaronwill

you know you are onto something if it’s hard to find other ppl doing it

@aaaronwill

for any street fundraisers on twitter - i know you can do better. don’t pitch me on your charity, ask me if i want to play a game. reel me in, then close.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@BasedDoll option 3: don’t replace it

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@bstract_thot this sounds worse than it rlly is. the month framing puts it on equal playing field with other productive tasks that require higher cognitive capacity than scrolling twitter and shitposting. real opportunity cost is like, vs reading a book, going on a walk, journaling.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

world changing technology, rapid pace of change, deserved of attention. who knows if there will even be a future by the time it should rightfully get made. yes yes yes ik.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

do people really have no better ideas to work on right now? like seriously. making this documentary less than 4 years of the release of gpt is ridiculous https://t.co/9qxVYecg6r

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@annali_art7 no

@aaaronwill

@tasshinfogleman honestly greed is almost upstream of everything

@neats29 anita you will be missed!!!

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

sharing is caring

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

has a single twitter groupchat someone starts from a tweet ever turned out good? every single one i’m in is just kind of schizo and has no coherence because too many ppl were added

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@mattstasoff the book about him, seeing is forgetting the name of the thing one sees, is all time

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

something about being hungry just hits different, unlocks a core primal motivation that doesn’t exist otherwise. try it sometime.

@aaaronwill

@venividinotavi that air of superiority when someone asks what your instagram is >>>>>>>

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@annali_art7 call that the theory gap theory

@aaaronwill

we need more artifacts in the world that inspire people to do the improbable!

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@Paul_Melman idk, he has a certain reverence for truth that claude does not have.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

realizing so many problems i’ve ran into w ai are actually just memory problems

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@__drewface i see what u mean but idk. internet writing lowered the barrier for distribution, but not for creation. writing a semi-decent blog actually took significant time and effort.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@eduardwieandt shouldn’t have to slide, it should just minimize when you scroll down, and pop back when you scroll up

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@janitachalam very very hard. what inspired this tweet?

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

there’s never a perfect opportunity, you can just do

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@puheenix no i just eat this because im based

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

the points of friction for understanding ai produced work is twofold: ai's text-only modality and its inability to write legible text.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

by default, output is text only. even if the written text was great, its one possible artifact among many. only reading text to keep track of work never works. system diagrams, and other resources are essential.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

excited for a future where atoms are just as malleable as bits are today

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

the canonical-form rules are load-bearing forever

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

anyone have tips for getting claude to stop the defensive programming slop?

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

i should just be able to say "i want to make the figure in this image airier", and ai makes me a slider, where then i can adjust until the figure is the right amount of ethereal.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@funplings the missing tooth 😭

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

but also, were our hedonistic desires to have the perfect couch really the place of tension to begin with? or was it just a representation of this groping desire to find some meaning?

@aaaronwill

@projectionheart whooooo

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

it’s wild how interconnected your internal state, and gut are. care for what you eat/drink and your happiness will be higher! simple.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

something so pleasant about finally finding your people. like paradise on earth

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

1) more interactive media. instead of consuming tiktoks videos passively, user experiences that encourage engagement. https://t.co/xGksr0gsyb

@aaaronwill

@mishapathy elaborate?

you can really tell when a tweet was overedited. just push the blue button

@aaaronwill

top 5 artists of this decade: - sturgill simpson - parcels - freddie gibbs - khruangbin - @florrymusicband

@funplings such a good song. fjm is the goat

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

the more of gone deep on physics, the more i’ve realized how difficult it is to explain complex, non-linear systems in a way that makes sense. simple linear things like you take an input and it creates an output make sense. but when you run into circular logic, much more difficult

as someone who always overindexes on instrumentals, it took me too long to process it. it’s a tale about how lonely the path of an artist is.

@funplings this is like one of many things i’ve butted up against. ofc there’s trade offs and clear reasons they do this, but they should cede some control to developers, maybe give them guardrails but within them you have some freedom of control. idk

@aaaronwill

bc of this there is more abstraction between your understanding, and the ai's work

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

ai text output also sucks. an engineering manager can maintain understanding of work from his devs because they can properly convey information. models can't. even with the humanizer skill, it takes a few back and forths.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@funplings yeah. golf caddie and sorority busboy. both exposed me to different walks, but not necessarily in the way being a waiter at a diner would. caddying i got more exposure from fellow caddies rather than the customers i served(cc members). same for busboy w chef + sorority girls.

hey claude go through all my twitter followers, find their birthdays, and schedule send texts for the next year.

@katie__bloom is this @growing_daniel ?

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

it also hones your communication. explaining something to a non-technical friend who doesn't even know stripe is so much different than talking to your friend who's on the same part of twitter as you

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

this keeps you in touch with culture, and where its headed. how do most people actually spend their time? what do they value? what are their dreams?

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

in dating, that means talking to as many ppl as possible, and practicing authenticity to best determine if they are compatible

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

in diet, that means trying to eat at different times to see if that helps with your health

@ttinySolver @zocomputer @Remotion @liamdanielduffy whoooo

@aaaronwill

ime specific intent is still needed, or else incorrect assumptions are made, but please lmk if your experience is diff. as one example, when i investigate a bug, i want to make sure my agent has the highest success possible identifying + solving said bug. for thornier bugs, this means spawning an initial investigator, then a devils advocate to disprove findings, and then a judge to square out whats right vs wrong.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

/humanizer 200 words or less

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@__drewface yes! dwarkesh post on this was good, if we have models that continually learn/adjust weights, we need to continually monitor for alignment.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@__drewface sometimes for research, if i’m working w lots of subagents. but mostly just coding, feels like overkill for other work.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@TheWuster more of a pope demo guy myself

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@funplings @Prigoose yes! i think exposure to new ppl, environments helps a ton

aaron williams

having a workflow like this drastically reduces the friction to create cards in the first place. highly recommend.

@aaaronwill

access to any good. second order impacts of agi will include affordability of physical goods going down drastically, while quality increases. imagine if you could get the highest quality cut of meat for fractions of a cent, or could build a transit system for ur town in one day.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

people will do more fulfilling work. who’s to say if it’s for profit, but it will be fun and engaging. maybe it’s making art, or doing a creative practice. maybe it’s learning every language that exists! the potential for learning post-singularity will be off the charts!

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@puheenix people were really hyping up the siri beta, i got it, and tbh not that great. but personally i’m bullish long term, there’s so much more opportunity for ai at the os level. i bet they cooking, waiting for local models to get better.

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

did 5.5 switch back to being more verbose again or is it just me?

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@janitachalam felt this viscerally

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

why are the most powerful ideas and products so meta? apple was about giving people the power of intuitive computing to help them create products that help people create….and so on. the best communities empower people to start their own, and so on. both of these clearly have insanely powerful impacts that are difficult to trace or quantify, but they also have this annoyingly meta quality. what do you mean the best way to make the world a better place is to build a community that empowers people to start their own communities. but it works. the most influential things are meta since they need to be far reaching.

this is why so many ppl struggle changing their world view. when someone develops a worldview, they start seeing everything as holes for their pegs or not. you need to keep ur mind agile to break out of this, and see that there actually arent any pegs or holes to begin with https://t.co/ngpuUqyrKU

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@__drewface but def agree that ai has produced a much greater variety of projects/ideas, which is a good thing. but the signal to noise ratio has increased so much. i wish there was a better way to force reflection. i’ve caught myself in these bad unreflective loops as well

aaron williams

@aaaronwill

@__drewface ai as a medium encourages little to no reflection by default, which makes it so easy to create things without really thinking through why in the first place

@fishpresskeys another plus is it gets you out of your bubble. sure i might not get to connect with someone i chatted with 5 mins waiting for a bus at midnight, but maybe ive updated my worldview in some way? but idk how ur defining temporary relationships here, or if that doesnt count.

@cguth_7 from what i’ve read models are now optimized to perform well on these benchmarks, which means they become a less accurate representation of real work in any of these fields
